NINDO

The path of the ninja

Episode 1 the beginning of a new dawn

It all began with the findings of Jutsu. The power that flowed through mighty titans that clashed as the world shook in their presence. Where kings and lords would easily fall to such an art that only follows the path of redemption. This is a story that the gods themselves can only imagine of such epic proportions. There were many battles and once the final breath was taken it appeared that the time of the ninja way was lost forever in the ruins of it's forgotten past. But……Faith found a way.

A man stood on a tall mountain while clenching his benevolent blade in both hands as he stared at the reflection within his sword. Staring back at him was a dark and demonic creature that could twist the stomache of any noble hero and lead them to a path of shame. Its eyes burned with a black flame that the devil himself coveted. This is the end for you the man began. Your reign shall no longer be known by the innocents whose blood was spilled because of your existence. The creature simply smirked at this site and grinned evilly. You believe you can defeat me. The creature spoke. Your words sound like an angel crying through an already bleeding heart He said with great delight. Spare me the humor. The man said out of anger. The next time I glance at your grotesque gnaw I desire to see the glare of my sword nudged in your throat and feeding justice to your black heart! The man continued more determined. Well then show me the will of god that fuels your determination. (Ninja art: Holy Dragon Blade Jutsu) The man's sword began to glow as the image of a white dragon appeared around it. The creature jumped in the air but was hit from behind by the man's uppercut sending him back down to collide with the man's mighty sword that was pierced in the ground. As the creature felt the blade of the sword grace his face the man came down on him at full speed pushing the sword down the creature's throat. The man stopped for a moment as the creature began to turn to ash but as quickly as his hopes had returned they vanished just as fast as the sun itself was covered by a blanket of darkness claiming the night as its own. The man became weary as the mountain site grew eerily quiet. Just then a dark cackle could be heard for great distances shattering the silence and ending the peace that the man fought to keep. The creature reappeared in full view with its hands forming hand seals of dark intentions. The man quickly grabbed his sword but was stopped by a wall of dancing flames keeping the man at bay as the creature began to utter a chant in unknown tongues. Once the chant was complete huge meteors filled the sky lighting up the mountain in a fiery glory that could be seen across the land. The man could only watch in terror for he knew that he had been beat. Where is your god now Lord Kamichi! The creature shouted with great joy. (Ninja art: Dragonic Tempest) The meteors engulfed the mountain ending all life that inhabited it.

As the man laid on his back with blood trickling down his mouth he saw his pride and joy approach him with eyes full of sea crest tears that shined like fire embedded in diamonds from the glow of the flames that surrounded them. The boy approached his dad confused and scared. Son don't , cry ninjas never cry. He said smiling as his soul began to depart from his mortal shell. Dad what is going on? The boy said with sadness consuming his emotions. The man continued and reached for something in his pocket. He pulled out a small chain neckalace with three crests crossed from each other in the shape of a quarter moon. Here take it. He said slowly. The boy obeyed and stared at the necklace with wonder. I want you to also carry on my legacy so I give you one other gift he said. Hold out your hand he continued with his life slipping faster than before. The boy did as he was told and then felt his dad's hand in his. The boy smiled for a moment but was cut short when he felt an explosion of pain racing through his body that felt as if he would accept death over such torture. But as soon as it started it was over. The boy fell down sobbing as he heard a cackle not to far from his position. The creature returned staring at the boy with excitement. Well ,well ,well it said. Are you the spawn of the great hero chosen by the gods it retorted while laughing. Why did you kill my dad the boy cryed. The creature simply glared at him with his head titled. God himself would not have saved this fool he said rather amused with the current circumstances in front of him. I hate you! The boy shouted. The boy's hand then began to glow a bright red. I will kill you for what you have done! the boy said as the ground began to shake. As much as the creature wanted to have prolonged the fight it knew its chance of survival was less due to the injuries caused by his first opponent. He began to turn his head lowly uttering you got lucky kid. He then disappeared into the night with the rest of the flames. The destruction however was not over as the boy screamed and the mountain collapsed in a sea of power and death. The boy passed out in a field of his own destruction that was greeted only by the silence of the night that filled the misty sky. Not to far off from off from the distance stood another man wearing a red cloak , black leather boots and a black top hat. He held a cane in one hand with a base made of sewn angel hair and on top was a skull that had engraved diamond eyes filled with the blood of Jesus Christ. He simply stared at the site whistling to himself as dawn eagerly approached.
