"A Beach, A Cast, And A Weird Situation."
Chapter One
Yellow Sands Beach, a perfect place for a refreshing getaway. It was an absolutely perfect day for the beach, with the crisp sunlight, a barely noticeable breeze, and lukewarm water, all under one landscape. The sound of flocking seagulls, roaring tidewaters, and fresh air were all present, as if acting like the conditions were played out from a weatherman's journal. Although for such a place for leisure and relaxation, rarely anyone would show up here on the weekends, regardless on what the conditions were. Though awkward, anyone who travels here will earn a well spent day off, as said by many of the past visitors.
Off the shoreline, a German swordsman was strolling about the mainland, rapidly pacing back and fourth near a wooden pavilion. Siegfried Schtauffen was wondering about, thinking to himself about an unseemly subject. "Where is she? She should have arrived here about now. If I only had a watch," the German swordsman says to himself, placing his long sword on a nearby wooden bench with the handle facing up, and the blade piercing the sand. Full with aggravation, Siegfried takes a seat on the long wooden bench, next to his sword, slightly groaning about the current situation. After giving out a long, deep sigh, Siegfried starts to think to himself again, covering his eyes with his hands to block out his vision. After two minutes of stillness, a sound was heard not far away, like large footsteps planting against the sand. From his current position, Siegfried was alerted by the sound, raising his head to check the area, but no one gives sight to his eyes.
Returning to his "deep thinking position", Siegfried's mind starts wondering again, and not too soon after that, the same sound was heard, except even closer this time. Quickly standing up, Siegfried quickly rotates his vision to catch sight of anyone nearby. "Who goes there?" the knight says, drawing his sword from the handle, and briefly looking around. Lowering the weapon, Siegfried approaches the wooden pavilion, where the source of the sound was heard from his point of view. Slowly checking every corner of his eyesight, Siegfried inspects the four corners of the structure, with nothing in sight. Feeling uncertain, he stands in the center of the pavilion, slowly examining the four corners again, with nothing but sand and seagulls in view. Suddenly, Siegfried finds a fist in front of his vision, appearing from his rear. Quickly turning around and drawing his weapon, a samurai backs down his guard, saying "Whoa. Scared a bit, Siegfried?" he questions. "Mitsurugi? What are you doing here on the beach?" Siegfried says, still with his weapon at hand. "Same question to you, my friend. What brings you here?" asks the samurai. Lowering his weapon, the German knight paces slowly towards Mitsurugi's view. "I am looking for someone. Yet, I have not seen her, when she should have showed up under this wooden pavilion not even five minutes ago," Siegfried explains. "How about you take a seat, and I'll explain everything." the German knight finally says, approaching the bench, with the samurai following suit.
"First off, a she?" Mitsurugi says. "Well, it seems like you got the hook-up upon someone, eh Sieg?" the samurai questions, while laughing to himself. "Funny, as you may find yourself," the German knight says, "but, uh... It's a very serious manner, and it must be discussed with this lady". Siegfried tries to hide his guilt, but an gland of sweat from his forehead gives it away very easily. "Who might this 'someone' be exactly?" the samurai asks, raising a brow. Siegfried tries to waste no time covering up who 'she' is. "Uh, let's just say that it's a bit of a personal matter to myself, no?" he says. Mitsurugi raises himself from the bench. "So, what was the point of you dragging me into this conversation if your not going to 'explain everything' then? Huh?" the samurai exclaims as he circles the bench. "Uh, man. I just don't want to admit it. I cannot trust you," the knight says, getting up from his seat, looking away from the samurai at the ocean water. "You cannot trust me, you say? Hah! What a damned excuse that was!" Mitsurugi was starting to grow impatient, then began tapping his foot on the sand. "Fine then. But first, explain to me why you are at this beach first," Siegfried says. "If you must know then, I mind as well explain to you," Mitsurugi says, and begins his story.
