This is a story i wrote for a "Guild" in a game called Mabinogi for an event. i lost, but i got props from several people, so i decided to post it ^^
Notice how the main characters name is the same as my RP Character in Imir's Thread, thats because i might decided to link my RP characters past to this story at some point in the RP.
and now the story! =3
EDIT: For those who might wonder, this takes place somewhere in the 1600's in japan. but all the Locations are fictional (Such as the thieves hill)
Alright, i finally started working on this project again, so i will be keeping it updated here as well with each new chapter in this thread. here's chapter 2 ^.6

- "Chapter 1":
- Everything changed in a moment...... "DAD! ... DAAAAAAAAD!!!!!" The boy falls to the floor and cry's, his burning house in front of him.
As the pieces of the house crumble the boy curls into a ball and passes out...
- Four Years Later -
waves crash against the cliff, atop the cliff a Warrior stands looking out at the sea. The warrior sighs and looks down, "Why wasn't it me....".
As the warrior starts to walk away a voice comes from behind a light fog, "It is because you are special Seishin." The warrior stops in
surprise, "Who are you! How do you know who i am! Show yourself!!" The fog clears and no one is there to answer Seishin's questions.
Seishin walks away from the cliff and notice's something strange... There's something in the ground... As he reach's down to investigate the
ground splits open in front of him and a mysterious figure leaps out and blocks his path, "Your training has gone well i see... You've
become an excellent warrior." Seishin Draws his blade in anger "Have you been watching me? who are you? what is it that you want from
me?" The mysterious figure takes out a wooden sword... "If you can beat me in a dual, then i will answer all your questions, but if you
lose then you must come with me and meet my employer." Seishin grips his sword, "I accept your challenge, and i shall get my answers!"
Seishin Swings his sword, aiming for the mans arm, the man dodges the swing swiftly, just before Seishin's blade makes contact with the
the mans arm. Seishin Redirects his blade and swings low aiming for the leg but the man blocks his blow with his wooden sword. Swing
after swing, Seishin cant seem to land a blow and the man just seems to not be getting tired at all. "You can always give up Seishin..."
As Seishin takes another swing at the mans neck "NEVER! YOU WILL TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW!". Once again the swing misses. Seishin
starts to get tired and his arms feel heavy. The man vanishes from Seishins view and appears behind him. The man takes one clean swing
at the back of Seishin's neck and Seishin falls to the floor, unconscious.
As he opens his eyes, Seishin is Greeted by an armored Solider, "Come with me." Seishin does as instructed, realizing that he lost his
dual. the solider takes him through many hall ways until they arrive at an ominous door. "Are you ready Seishin?" Seishin nods "... Yes"
The solider opens the door slowly and Seishin impatiently waits to meet this 'Employer'. "Come in, Seishin, iv been waiting for you..."
Seishin: "Who are you? And what do you want with me?"
Kintaku: "You may call me Kintaku, as for what i want, i simply want you to do me a favor."
Seishin: "If i do this favor, what do i get in return? Mercs don't come cheap."
Kintaku: "Ill pay you in the most valued commodity, Information. I can tell you everything you want to know about your father..."
Seishin: "...You know about my father!?! Tell me what you know! NOW!"
Kintaku: "Now now Seishin, first you must help me with a problem. I need you to eliminate a band of thieves down in Kinguobu hill"
Seishin: "Fine. ill get rid of these thieves for you, but when i get back i want to know EVERYTHING you know!"
Seishin walks away and Kintaku's solider leads him out of the building. Kintaku smiles, "Iv got big plans for you Seishin, i only hope you can fulfill them..."
-Kinguobu Hill-
Thief 1: "hehe, nice haul we got today eh boys?" Thief 2: "Hell yeah, we'll be rich in no time!" The thief Tosses a diamond in the air and catches it.
A third thief comes running from below the hill, "INTRUDER! EVERYONE GET YOUR WEAPONS!"
All the thieves grab swords and daggers where ever they can find them, as a faint scream is heard... then only footsteps.
Seishin slowly comes into view and all the thieves ready their weapons, Thief 1: "I'm only going to warn you once! Leave now or die!"
Seishin laughs, "You think you can handle me? Bring it on." Seishin unsheathes his sword and readies it in front of him.
The first thief Runs at Seishin with his sword over his head and swings downward as Seishin dodges to the left, Thrusting his sword backwards into the thief's back.
Seishin pulls out his sword as the thief falls to the floor, "Who's next? Any takers?" The remaining 4 thieves look at each other then back at Seishin, "Who da hell is this guy?"
Seishin: "Me? My name is Seishin, and i'm a mercenary hired to kill all of you thieves. Nice to meet you all." Seishin smiles.
Thief 2: "Im going to rip this fool in half!" Thief 3: "Yeah lets destroy this punk!"
2 more Thieves run at Seishin, swords held without skill. The first takes a swing at Seishin's arm and the other at Seishin's side.
Seishin Blocks the first swing with his sword from the bottom and swings it toward the other thief's sword blocking them both.
He then takes a swing in the other direction, Slicing both thieves stomachs. A third thief throws his dagger and Seishin quickly picks up
a sword from the ground and throws it back knocking the dagger out of the air. Distracted by the dagger, the other thief runs up to Seishin undetected.
As the Thief takes a stab at Seishin, Seishin barely jumps back on time dodging the stab and swings at the thief's shoulder, "AAAAAGGGGHHHH!"
Seishin: "4 down, one to go." Final Thief: FUCK THIS, I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" The thief starts to run away, Seishin: "Oh no you don't,
I'm paid to kill ALL of you." He Readies his sword in one hand and throws it like a javelin, piercing the thief's chest.
Seishin walks up and retrieves his sword, sheathing it as he walks away to return to Kintaku.
-Kintaku's Place-
Seishin walks into Kintaku's 'Office'. Kintaku: "Welcome back Seishin, i trust you were successful?
Seishin: "Yes, I did as you wanted, all the thieves at Kinguobu Hill are dead. Now tell me what i want to know."
Kintaku: "Well that wasn't exactly a very hard job now was it? Hmmm how about i answer one question for that job. In fact
i have an idea, how about you work for me, full time, and for every job you do i answer one question? Does that sound good to you?
Seishin: "Fine, but i want my questions answered completely and truthfully."
Kintaku: "Of course Seishin, why would i lie to you? Alright we have a deal, now what do you want to know?"
Seishin: "Who was it that killed my father?"
Kintaku: "Hm, Now how do you know he was killed?"
Seishin: "Don't bullshit me! I know he was killed because he never used anything flammable in the house!
Plus i saw a figure leave the back of the house the day it burned to the ground!"
Kintaku: "Ah, you wish to know who burned down your childhood home. Simple, Taru here did it." Kintaku points
to the man that beat Seishin in a dual. Taru: "Yes. it was me who set your house ablaze. I did it because i saw potential
in you Seishin, and you would never unlock that potential living at home."
Seishin: "So it was your doing Kintaku!?!" Kintaku: "No. Taru did it of his own free will, he thought that in time you would
become a valuable asset to our cause someday, i had nothing to do with it."
Seishin: "He killed my father! All so i could help you!!"
Kintaku: "Now no one said that he killed your father, he simply burned down your house."
Seishin: "Then where is he! What happened to my father!!"
Kintaku: "Im sorry Seishin, but you will have to do another job before i answer any more questions. That was the agreement, was it not?"
Seishin: "......What do you want me to do?" Kintaku: "Your next assignment is simple, i want you to go to Hīrōbarē and Eliminate an old rival of mine"
Seishin: "Hīrō no tani? The Valley of Heros?
...
~To Be Continued~
- "Chapter 2":
- ...
Seishin: Hīrōbarē...
...
-Wasurete Sabaku-
Seishin walks out of a tunnel and into a desert. the desert is very small, only about 2 miles
wide. as he walks, he thinks about what kintaku said, about his father...
"He... He could still be alive..."
The more he thought about it, the more it confused him.
"How could he have survived? why wasnt i able to find him? why didnt he look for me? ..."
He couldnt seem to figure it out. his father never stayed up past 10 pm, and it was well into
midnight when the fire started. not to mention if he had made it out alive,
why wouldnt he look for his son? Lost in thought, the next few hours flew by, and before he
knew it he was in the forest just outside Hīrōbarē.
"... Its getting dark. i should make camp here and wait out the night." Seishin droped his stuff
onto the ground and started making a camp fire.
The Crackle of the flames warmed the entire area, the perfect camp fire. Seishin sat down,
leaning against a rock. as the moon rose, seishins mind began to wander again,
and before he knew it, he was fast asleep.
-The next day-
Seishin awoke to a bright light in his eyes. the sun was peaking through a small opening in
the leaves, letting a beam of light hit him directly in the eyes.
"Morning already?"
Seishin got up from his camp spot and picked up his things. He slung a bag over his
shoulder and looked towards the valley.
"Hīrōbarē..."
Seishin remembered the valley, it was one of his training grounds, and a memorial to all the
heros that protected the nation in the
Great war. His father being one of those hero's. Seishin sighed and started walking
towards the valley.
-Hīrōbarē-
the wind blows leaves from one side of the valley to the other, the valley completely void
of any sound cept the wind.
suddenly, a voice breaks the silence:
????: hahaha, ahahahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahaha....
Seishin: Whos there??
????: so your the one Kintaku sent to end my life? how pathetic... it seems kintaku has
lost his eye for good warriors.
Seishin: if you think your so tough, why dont you show your face!?
????: heh... haha... hahahahahahahaha, Densetsu always said you were under trained. ill
fit to be the son of a legend.
Seishin: Who are you?
?????: if you must call me somthing, then You may call me Savren.
Seishin: Alright Savren. How about you show your face and we have a fair fight.
...
"I think ill take you up on that"
...
a heavy mist appeared, and when it faded, a Warrior stood weilding a Katana.
Seishin: Bring it on
Seishin readies his blade in front of him.
Savren: There you go, now you sound more like your father Seishin... heh...
Savren rushs foward, blade over his shoulder and swung hard down on ground, just as
Seishin Jumps back.
Seishin swings his sword at Savren as fast as he can,
but Savren dodges each swing. suddenly
Savren pulls out a hidden blade from his left hand side and
blocks Seishins swing and attacks with his right hand.
Seishin tried to get out of the way of the swing, but got hit on the right shoulder. but this
didnt stop him, he grabed his blade with his left hand, blade pointed backwards and rushed
at Savren, hiting him
on the leg before he even noticed Seishin move. Savren jumps back in pain and the two look
at each other, getting ready, staying on guard, ready to strike, yet as still as stone.
Seishin Breaks the Standoff by running at Savren, Swinging his blade from the left.
Savren deflects the strike and Seishin redirects the swing to the right. Savren again deflects the
swing, Seishin pulls his blade back and thrust it foward in a stab like motion.
Savren tries to jump out of the way, but the tip of the sword peirces his chest slightly.
Savren: ...
Savren: ...
Savren: ... heh ...
Savren: ...
Savren: ...heh hehhehahahahahahahahahahaha ...
Savren: ... hahahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahahhahaha ...
Savren: ...
Savren drops to his knees. hand over his wound, clenching tightly.
Seishin keeps his blade steady as he watches Savren's every move.
Savren looks to Seishin and smirks.
"... you win ..."
Seishin was shocked, he didnt understand why Savren was giving up because of a small wound.
Savren: ill make you a deal. ill tell you everything i know about your father, in return...
Savren: you do me a favor. but before that, i must explain something to you.
Seishin: Well, lets hear it.
Savren: i am a water spirit. a spirit with the ability to shapeshift.
Savren: long ago, i was infected with a dark evil.
Savren Ripped off his shirt, Revealing a pattern on his arm,
ending at his shoulder, right where Seishin struck him.
Savren: 10 years ago, your father stopped that infection from spreading, by sealing it
Savren: with a magic spell. By stabbing me here you have broken that seal,
Savren: and now the infection will continue. The only way to stop it at this point is to
Savren: Change my shape one last time. As a shapeshifter, i can change my shape into
Savren: something inanimate, say, a sword. This will Stop the infection, but will also
Savren: not allow me to change back. ill be stuck that way for a very, long time.
Seishin: So whats this have to do with me?
Savren: What i want you to do, in exchange for everything i know, is to take me after i
Savren: Shift into a form of a blade, and keep me safe, until the day i can come back to
Savren: my original shape. Mind you, that as a weapon, i will be swifter,
Savren: and more powerful than an average sword, And your free to use me as such.
Seishin: Fine, its a deal, anything to find out more about my father...
... ~to be continued~ ...
- "Chapter 3":
- Seishin walks through the forest, critters running about. He stares at the engraving in
his blade as he thinks back to what Savren said.
-Savren: "He is alive, i pulled him from the flames myself."-
-Seishin: "Where is he?"-
-Savren: "That i do not know, i do have a few ideas though. Kinguobu Hill for one."-
-Seishin: "He isn't there, iv already been there."-
-Savren: "Well there's Lake Amagaeru and The Takagi Forest"-
-Seishin: "The Takagi Forest? Where is that?"-
-Savren: "Just north of here, you will need to go there to get to Lake Amagaeru ."-
-Seishin: "Alright, then that's where im starting my search. Thanks for the info."-
-Savren: "Wait, there's one more thing. Your father..."-
Seishin sheathes his blade and sighs. Looking around the forest all Seishin can seem to
find are trees, critters, and more trees, each taller than the next. just when he was
about to give up, he spots something. A beam of sunlight was breaking through the leaves
and reflecting of the ground. Seishin walks over and brushes the leaves off the spot and
it reveals a hidden trap door. He flips the door open, lights a torch and starts down the
staircase. After a while, Seishin starts to feel like something is wrong, something is
telling him to turn back. The next step he took verified those feelings...
*Click*
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH"
The next step was pressure sensitive, and stepping on it caused all the steps around it to
collapse, dropping Seishin down a dark pit. He hit the ground with a loud thud, then
everything went quiet.
-An hour later-
Seishin woke up in a dark tunnel, right behind him was a large steel door, in front of him
was a long, narrow passage, and above him was the pit he fell into. Considering there was
no way to climb back up, and the door behind him was locked, he took his only option and
started down the poorly lit tunnel in front of him.
Suddenly Seishin could hear something coming towards him, as it got closer and louder, he
could make it out as some kind of small creature. Drawing his blade, Seishin prepared for
whatever it was that was coming for him. A Small imp like creature jumped out from the
shadows wielding a dagger and attacked Seishin. He quickly Slammed his blade down on the
imp, ripping it in two. With the sound of the imp falling to the floor, the sound of two
more imps quickly became audible. Seishin thrust his blade forward, piercing the first imp
in the chest. He then pulled it back out, spun it around and sliced the other from the
shoulder all the way down out its side.
It wasn't long before ten more imp's were coming down the passage to take their fallen
comrades' place, and just as quickly as they came, Seishin cut them down. Eventually,
Seishin started to get tired, and he lowered his defense at the wrong time. An imp jumped
out at Seishin and stabbed him in the leg, just missing anything major. Seishin punched
the creature in the face sending it waddling back, then sliced its chest from right to
left. Cut after cut, wound after wound, Seishin was slowly loosing this battle. Just as
Seishin thought he was going to die (And too imps at that) he saw a small, bright light,
the end of the tunnel. With renewed strength and hope, he pushed through the last of the
imps, taking them down with one swing each.
After the last imp fell to the floor, Seishin walked through the door at the end of the
tunnel. It was a very large room, the walls lined with cages from the floor to the ceiling
and some thrown around here and there. Looking around, Seishin spots an opening behind
some of the cages. He quickly tossed the cages out of the way and passed through the
opening. This room was much smaller than the last, and looked more like a living space.
There was a table in the middle of the room, a chest in the corner, and a ladder to the
back of the room, along with a chair and bed near the door. He looks inside the chest and
finds nothing. He continues to look around and finds nothing but a map and a dagger, but
this dagger was different from the ones the imps had, this dagger belonged to his father.
he took the map and dagger and climbed up the ladder. Seishin flips open the trap door
atop the ladder and climbs out. He pulls out the map he found and starts planning his trip
to Lake Amagaeru.
