Author note: Welcome back my readers! I hope you all enjoyed the next chapter of The Ninja and The Samurai!
"Usagi, who is Hebi?" Leonelle asked her boyfriend. "I remember you mentioned him before, but I don't know the entire story on him." Leonelle said.
"I suppose I should've said this soon. as you know already, he is dictator with a heart as cold, as stone, but here's the whole story." The rabbit sighed in solemnly.
" When I was a child just a boy, I was told by my father how ruthless this snake is, his cruelty striking fear into the hearts of even the most valiant of warriors who dare try to fight him only to get slain."
He was trying to consoled himself, but Leonelle knew her boyfriend was trying not to break in tears. She hold his hand tightly, he looked at her thankfully, then he continued this horrible story.
"He was an enemy of my father, for many years before I was born, and it was because of him, that my mother lost her life not long after I was born, and my father was forced into hiding as he took me to tranquil village where we could live in secret." Lee couldn't helped but thought deja'vu, because Hebi reminded her about the Shredder. The Shredder, because of his hatery destroyed her father's life. She listened patiently to his tale, and still held on tightly to her boyfriend's arm.
"Many of the stories, I was told by the people of my village were about how dangerous Hebi is, and that if I see him, I should not fight him, but run as fast as I can. " Usagi continued, "But I never truly knew, how terrible he was until, he attacked my village one day, with no warning."
"People scattering, running in fear trying to flee while they still could, fire spreading fast as it consumed the houses one by one, several people were either captured or murdered, it was utter chaos as his men took our village with no remorse in their eyes. But my father, Miyamoto Hasuke, stayed to help whoever wasn't captured to escape and get me to safety. He was a noble and skillful swordsmen, well known in our village, he was wise, kind and aided those in need."
"He fought and he defeated one foe after another as i was hidden to avoid being captured as i watched it all happen before my eyes, until he was confronted by Hebi himself. The two fought fiercely as my father used every skill and tactic he knew, fighting with all his might, to slay the vile serpent, but hebi was too quick, fought ruthlessly and used dirty tactic to his advantage. "
"My father was growing tired, struggling to stay standing despite what injuries he took in the battle until he was caught off guard as his sword was knocked out of his hands."
"In the end, I was helpless to do anything, as he constricted my father's weaken, battered form until he died of suffocation and was consumed whole." he trailed off as a single tear fell down his cheeks, but he bravely continued. "I was petrified in fear, as Hebi soon found me and was about to kill me once he realized that Hasuke was my father, but I was rescued by a close and personal friend of my father, Hiroshi Kenta, and was taken away from there as my village burn down until there was nothing left but the ruins and ashes. "
"Within a house in an isolated part of Hotaru forest, he raised me as his own and taught me everything that my father knew on wielding a sword and what tactics may serve me well in my training."
"Though I lost my Father, my friends and my home at the tender age of nine, I worked hard to become a strong and skillful samurai like my father, to be as skilled as him, to defeated Hebi and his army when the time is right and not let the efforts of my father and all those who had fallen in battle be in vain, and end that snakes' reign of terror once and for all."
"Even though much has gotten worse within the ten years, I've been the adoptive son of Kenta, neither of us nor others have lost hope, no matter how bad things have been." Usagi said.
Leonelle willed herself not to let the tears fall on her cheeks, still holding on to her boyfriend's arm tightly. As she and the others who were listening felt empathetic for him, as they were saddened by this.
