prologue - The lonely prince

It was a cool evening at the Date castle. The young lord of the castle was walking round taking in the cool air and the calm peaceful scenery. Masamune sat down in the grass. He looked up at the stars that were just barely coming out. Night would fall soon and he would have to go back to his boring room. He much preferred to be out and free to do whatever he pleased. Masamune laid down to watch the evening sky turn into the beautiful night sky. A few moments later Kojuro came to take his lord to his room for the night. Kojuro spotted his lord lying down in the grass and walked over to him. "Young lord it is night. You need to get some rest." Masamune looked at kojuro and sighed, "Can I lay here a little while longer kojuro?" Kojuro knew his master didn't like being in his room and sat down beside him, "Only a little while longer ok." Masamune smirked and looked back at the night sky till he fell asleep. Kojuro looked back at his lord and smiled. His lord was still just a kid and was so very lonely no friends only himself. Kojuro picked up his lord carefully and carried him to bed.
Meanwhile a younger kid wondered around not knowing where he was or what to expect; lost. This kid who had belonged to the sanada clan was lost, cold, afraid, and very hungry, sat down by a tree close to a river. He curled up and cried himself to sleep.
