I. Home

My name is Yasuo. Or at least that's the name given to me by Master Ryko. I live in the temple with my Master and brother Yone. We were orphaned there at birth with some other kids so it just feels like home to us. After we were old enough to hold a sword properly they started training us in the fine art of swordsmanship. However, I had been the only one in my generation let alone my class to learn and master the legendary wind technique. My brother and I loved it at the temple.

I awoke with a jolt, heart pounding, frantically looking around.

"Damn, it was just a dream" I whispered to myself.

I looked towards my window to see the sun was already pouring in from outside, I jumped out of bed and quickly got dressed.

"Ugh, Master Ryko's gonna kill me!" I hissed.

After getting dressed I pushed open the barracks doors. It was a beautiful summer day in Ionia, the warm gentle breeze brought with it a sweet smell of flowers as it caressed its way into the barracks. I took in a deep breath and started running for the temple. Today was our classes ceremony, today we received our swords and were assigned our stations in Ionia as full fledged Royal Guards. As I neared to temple i could hear voices coming from inside.

"Good. The ceremony hasn't started yet, i'm not dead after all"

I pushed open the temple doors to see the entire upper balcony filled with people all around town to witness mine and Yone's ceremony. Yone was standing at the center of the room with a look of irritation on his face. Elder Ryko was standing next to Yone and was looking straight at me with those piercing blue eyes, his face giving nothing away. The whole room went quiet as soon as I walked in and everyone turned to face me.

"Kill me now." I thought to myself.

"Yasuo. You've decided to show up." Elder Ryko said.

"My apologies, Master Ryko." I said as I bowed my head in respect.

"If you would be so kind as to come over and and join your brother so we may start the ceremony now.

That would be greatly appreciated." Elder Ryko said with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"Yes Master" I said as I quickly walked to the center of the temple and stood next to my brother.

Elder Ryko started to recite the Ancient Ionian Royal Pledge to us.

"Well well well, look who decided to show up!" Yone whispered under his breath.

"Why didn't you wake me? I hissed back.

"It's not my job to make sure you wake up on time! Besides, if you didn't stay out drinking Saki all night. You might have actually woken up on time!" Yone said.

"What can I say?" I chuckle a bit. "I like my Saki."

Yone scowls and ignores me for the rest of the ceremony.

"To be honest, I don't remember much from last night. All I know is that I got a killer headache!"

"Yasuo, Yone!" Elder Ryko bellowed.

I was snapped out of my thoughts instantly.

"Yes Master Ryko?" we replied firmly.

"Do you swear to protect the people of Ionia no matter the situation, even if it means you may breath your last? Do you swear to follow any and all orders given to you by your superiors with complete and utter determination? Do you swear to protect the place you call home even if the odds are stacked against you 1000 to 1 and prevail or die trying?" Elder Ryko boomed with unwavering authority.

"Yes Master Ryko, we swear" We said synchronized.

"From this moment forward, you are dubbed Royal Guards of Ionia!"

The crowd roars with overwhelming approval. It sends shivers throughout my body.

"This is what I have trained all my life for. Everything I've worked for is finally falling into place. This is amazing, but to be honest I didn't expect any less."

"Yasuo, Yone. It is time you receive your swords."

I can feel my body trembling with joy, even as I look at Yone I can see he is too. He doesn't show it on the outside, but when I look into his eyes I can see his excitement. It doesn't surprise me much. He was always the calmer one out of the two of us.

"Yone. Step forward and receive your sword." Elder Ryko said.

Elder Ryko walks over to a holding case and removes Yone's sword from it. Yone's sword was the definition of beauty. It was made of fine dark wood with a blue hue to its sheath. As he slid it out of it sheath, it gave a mesmerizing hiss. The blade itself was a bright silver, almost white looking. And had ancient Ionian engravings in it. It was perfect in every way, you could tell just by the look of it.

"I am honored, thank you Master Ryko" Yone said as he gave a deep bow of respect.

"Yasuo. Step forward and receive your sword." Elder Ryko said to me.

I feel so light it seems like I could just float away. My breathing quickens as I take a few steps forward to stand in front of Elder Ryko. He nods then walks over to the holding case once more to retrieve my sword. As he takes it out my heart skips a couple beats, its way more brilliant and beautiful than I could have ever dreamed. The sword has a firm elm wood handle with blue cloth wrapped around it. It also has a blue hue to its sheath like Yone's but instead of Ancient Ionian inscriptions, mine has engravings of wind patterns flowing majestically and beautifully throughout the sheath. The hilt and the guard are both crafted to imitate the blowing of the wind. I pulled it out of the sheath, the hiss of the blade as it slides out of its sheath sent shivers down my spine. The blade itself was a dazzling silver with a fine finish and glistened in the sunlight that was shining through the windows. I returned the blade to its sheath and bowed my head deeply in respect.

"It is an honor, thank you Master Ryko." I said trying to stay calm.

"The honor is all mine" he returned warmly.

"Yasuo, Yone. I have taught you all that I know ever since you were both arrived here. But now it is time for you to make your own marks in this world. Make me proud."

"Yes, Master Ryko" We replied.

"This is the best day of my life." I thought to myself.

But it was to be short lived, for things were about to turn sour. Very, Very soon.

Hoped you liked it! Lemme know what you think! ~Hysteria~
