Chapter 1

Tai's story (Prologue sort of)

It had been five long years since the tragic incident that had happened to Tai's family. What had happened was that raiders had broken into Tai's family's house and stole all the goods and slaughtered his parents while he and his sister made a run for it. The next day Kari was taken in by her grand parents and Tai had disappeared but not that his grandparents cared or anything but his sister did.

As the 12 year old boy rode off on his own not knowing what was to become of him. As he rode his horse Lancelot toward a small village he got hungry but he didn't have any money so he had to rely on stealing or finding food in the woods. When he turned 13 years of age he found himself in the Takenouchi kingdom. The village was full of people and stands of people selling food and he was hungry again but he was way out of the woods by now and seen a bakers stand that wasn't occupied. He looked around and nobody was watching him so he reached his hand up and all of a sudden it was grabbed out of thin air.

"What do you think you're doing young man" the old man said.

"I….I….I" that was all Tai could say he was so stunned that he was actually caught for the first time ever.

The old man looked at the kid and said "That's what I thought".

"Where is your parents' young man because it's dangerous to wander around alone" the old man said.

Tai just looked up at the man and then looked down at his feet and quietly said that they're dead.

"I see and you're just hungry, so why don't you come in and have a bite to eat and then we will talk some more because you are terribly thin and are in dire need of food" the old man said.

Tai nodded his head and followed the man inside his home and the man got him some bread and cheese to eat Tai gorfed it down with in seconds.

"Wow you must have been hungry" said the old man.

Tai just nodded his head and swallowed the last little bit of food that was in his mouth.

"So do you know how to defend yourself" said the old man.

"Not really" said Tai.

"What's your name kid" asked the old man.

"Tai Kamiya sir" Tai responded.

"All right Tai I'll make you a deal, if you want you can stay hear and I'll teach you how to fight and survive, but in return you have to do chores and work in my bakery stand" said the old man.

"You have a deal and what's your name" Tai asked curiously.

"My name's Jasper and I'm an ex-knight of takenouchi" Jasper said.

"Why aren't you still a knight" asked Tai.

"Because the king said I was too old and couldn't keep up" Jasper said.

"Oh, that's too bad" Tai said.

"Yes well how about I show you to your quarters now so you can get some rest" Jasper said.

"Ok" Tai said and followed him up to where he was going to be staying for a while.

Jasper kept his word and taught Tai how to fight and defend himself and in return Tai did household chores and worked in the bakery like he promised, he had a few accidents when he worked the bakery like when he tripped over his own two feet and dropped the tray dread on the floor or when he accidentally dropped a bag of flower on the floor and covered everything in white including himself and Jasper who wasn't very happy with him and sent him in to house to wash the floors top to bottom.

When Tai was 15 years of age he left Jasper for adventure and excitement. So he mounted his horse and rode off in the middle of the night in the direction of the silver city better known as Silverado.

Now Tai was 17 and was ridding into the Takenouchi kingdom in search of only one thing.
