4 short stories that tell a tale of family, love, regret and a war between shinobi cats and samurai dogs! Extracted from the videogame "Nodachi no Michi", this was supposed to work as a prologue for the story, but a lot has changed about the world, its characters and the structure I want to use, so this is more like a prototype now (Thus the name "Proto"). I still wanted to save this somewhere else other than the game itself for 2 reasons: ease of access and preservation. If someone finds this and I've already started publishing the new version then please wait until you finish reading the first volume since it will probably cover everything in here. if nothing has been released yet and you want to give this a try then feel free to give me your feedback and I might apply it to the final release!
