A Place In The Scheme Of Things
By Kayura, Watching Over The Ronins Forever
The boy crosses into the forest deep,
Where among the trees shadows creep.
He comes to a place he knows well,
And hears the sound of a nearby bell.
He turns around quickly to the source of the noise:
It was made by an old man and four teenage boys.
One named Ryo Sanada, Strong of heart,
The second Kento Rei Faun of the Kung Fu art,
The third is Cye Mouri, A friend to all,
Last is Rowen Hashiba, Smarter than he is tall.
The old man approaches,
The boys all leaves;
The two are alone.
The old man, Kaosu, puts his hand out to the boy,
Who flinches back, Falling down.
A smile crosses Kaosu's face,
And he doesn't look as bad as in the first place.
Boy as he is, He doesn't understand,
How in the end he will take his place in the greater scheme of things.
The Kanji of Wisdom glows on his forehead;
If he doesn't realize his place he will soon be dead.
"You have refused this deed for far too long," Kaosu intones, Leaving the boy frightened,
"You must take your place when this world is threatened".
The boy stands up shakily, Hand on a tree.
Kaosu has left,
Only one more thing in the clearing.
A small green-colored orb,
To call upon the armor old,
And let this boy Sage Date take his place at last.
