It's been a good year since the incident in Sacar. My wounds may have healed and skills stronger, but my wounded heart may never heal entirely. However, today is my birthday; as I am now twenty years old, I can now begin my journey to the central city; in search of the truth behind my grandfather and Eon Pax. So I washed up and got dressed and went down to the kitchen. When I got to the kitchen, there wasn't anyone there. So I looked around the house and did not see anyone. Then I checked the garden, but there was no one to be found.
Then I thought, "Oh, maybe they went shopping." So I put on my shoes and raced down to the marketplace or at least what was left after the rebuild due to Craters Steve's attack a year prior. As I looked for Sensei and his family, I asked the shopkeepers, but no one knew where they were. Then, as I was about to give up hope, someone asked me if I had checked the dojo yet. When I looked up to answer the person, no one was there.
I looked around then shrugged my shoulders and took off toward the dojo. To my surprise when I opened the door, I was attacked by a masked assailant. Without hesitating, I drew my sword from my back and began my counterattack against him.
"How dare you dishonor this dojo and how dare you attack me!" I shouted. I caught him off-guard then knocked him down to the ground with the hilt of the sword. With quick reflexes, I jumped back and gripped my sword, then placed behind my back as I had done in my attack with Steve then immediately leaped into the air.
