mura is a 14 year old boy with a dream to became the best in swordsmanship. mura is intelligent but lacking in swordsmanship and is physically weak.
mura is passionate about him becoming better, so he goes to the forest and trains. but realizes he doesn't know any moves so he trained his body first, after a week he felt that his stamina is improving by running. one day as he was on his way to the forest, he saw smoke in the sky mura was curious he went there and saw a cabin made of wood in front of the house there was a fireplace a pot of stew was cooking on it mura smelt the stew he felt hungry as he was approaching the pot he heard footsteps mura hid between two rocks as he watched an old man heading to the pot, the old man stopped looking around his surroundings he then led out a horrifying aura. mura felt like he was suffocating with this power then the old man yelled with a stern voice:
"COME OUT"
mura was breathing heavily and his body didn't move he though if he moved it would be the end of him.
the old man made his way to mura's. as mura felt he regained his strength he then thought to himself that he should run away, as he stood up turning around for a glance he didn't notice what was in front of him, a hand grabbed his head covering his face stopping from his tracks. mura's body got weak his balance was unsteady, the hand tightened around his face causing pain to run in him the men then let go off him making him fall as mura's back head made contact with the rock making him fall unconscious.
two hours passed...
mura started to slowly open his eyes the first thing he made contact with was the wooden celling, he looked around his surroundings noticing that he was in a room laying on a bed, he moved his fingers carefully so it wont damage his body...he slowly regained his strength sitting up with a groan then he heard the door opening , it was the man. mura avoided contact with him lowering his gaze. the men entered with a tray on it a glass of water and some food. the man layed the tray on the table as he sat on a chair in front of the bed, he glanced at him he knew that he was avoiding him, he raised his hand to stroke his beard he then spoke in a calm clear voice:
"what have brought you here..son?"
Mura was tense, he hesitated to speak.. the old man crossed his arms then said:
"your lucky... the monsters have been handled, now go back to your home."
mura put a side the fear, then he clenched his hands on his laps as he had a calm hard face ,asking his words clear as he said:
"I only came to the forest to train."
"to train..." the old man said.
he then stood up glaring at him.
"well train somewhere else." the old man said.
"I'm sorry but i cant do that." mura stood up as well.
"and why is that?" said the old man.
mura said with a little emotion in him wanting to sound brave:
"because I'm weak!" he said with a harsh tone.
"not like the other kids.." in a low calm voice as he looked down, the old man understood his situation.
"so I come here to train, till i have the strength and talent to be able to go to shingura academy and be the best swordsman out there!"
mura had a passionate dream...the exactments and desperation in his words! the old men knew that a miracle will be coming to him, to help him reach his path.
the old man chuckled he had a smile in his face:
"fine... you can train here, but only if you can beat me in a game."
