SENGAKU- The White Fire Legacy

The Last Tokugawan Part 1

First Flame: The Last Tokugawan

Scene 1: "Flames engulf the city and the reflection of a woman is shown in a young boys crying eyes. The woman mouths a few words to the boy before getting slashed in her back and falling to the ground in a pool of her own blood. The young boy screams out in sorrow and pain while holding out his right hand"

MOOOTTTHHHHEEERRR!!

"Zak screams in his sleep before waking up, only to find himself bareback in the middle of a forest. It was that dream again. A flashback of his younger life before the incident. He looks at his right hand at the last peice of his family momento, his sword, Daishoken and the S shaped mark upon his chest right where his heart is. It had been 13 years since that day it was still clear as if it happened yesterday."

Zak: Mmm....

"He tightens his grip on his sword's sheathed blade and slowly sits up and leans his back against the tree and his white shirt and black jacket he had slept against. He lets out a soft yawn and stretches out before his stomach gives him a wake up call with a loud rumble. He places his free hand onto his stomach and gives it a light pat."

Zak: Time to eat!

"He stands up and steps forward to a nearby river and kneels over to take a peek of its bounty. Lo and behold, nature's splender; Lightning Fish. He gives a whistle in awe at such a multitude of fish before standing up and placing his sword at his left side, his right hand grasping Daishoken's handle and taking a samurai's stance. He suddenly swings Daishoken upwards then downwards in a blinding flash, causing the water to seperate and hold it position for about 3 seconds, more than enough time for the young man to collect his prey on the edge of Daishoken's blade. As his freshly caught prey struggles for freedom, altogether the Lightning Fish begin to emit a short burst of electricity. Zak braces himself for the inevitable last resort of defense and witstands the 3 second long 8,000 volt shock."

Zak: Nnnghh!

"After the time limit, he coughs a bit of smoke before shaking his now even spikier hair back to normal. He chuckles slyly and takes the now dead fish off his blade and places them onto a few giant leaves from a G-Tree. He then uses the river to wash and clean his blade carefully, making sure not to cut his fingers and hands. Zak looks up at the afternoon sky and then at his shadow"

Zak: Mmm.... 2 o'clock. Maybe 3.

"The young man soon starts breaking dry limbs from various trees and arranges them into a bunch then surrounds them with a circle of rocks to prevent the would fire from spreading any further than its intended space. Once done, he crosses his arms and inspects his masterpiece of a fireplace before placing his right hand over his mouth and clenches his hand into a funnel shape fist then blows softly through his hand and ignites the campfire with White Fire, instantly lighting his campfire. He then grabs a few more sticks he had saved and impales the fish and sticks them into the ground and leans them against the fire. As his bounty is cooking over the open fire, he sits down and crosses his legs, Daishoken in his arms and against his shoulder, he waits for his lunch. Just behind him, in the bushes our young man was being watched."

Bandit 1: Such a fool. He has no idea we're here. This will be another smash and grab.

Bandit 2: Let me get first crack at 'im. I been itching to kill someone since last time.

"The second male pulls out 3 throwing knives and pulls it at a ready position near his own left cheek and licks his lips maliciously. Zak's ear twitches as he overhears said conversation. In turn, he uses his right thumb to slowly raises Daishoken's blade from it's sheath just a bit."
