King (Asuma)

"He'd left his own legacy"

Strategic games were always fun to play, as well as good mental training. He loved to challenge both his disciple, and even his disciple's father, even though he lost every time. The pieces spoke deeply to him, after an older and wiser man had pointed out their true forms – something he was selfishly glad his disciple couldn't work out, for all his genius. It was his only win. In the end, he'd told him, if only to secure safety and extract a promise as he lay dying. At least he'd left his own legacy, safe in the hands of another.

Exactly 100 words. More prompts are very welcome (please use the form Theme, Character, "Prompt" e.g. King, Asuma, "He'd left his own legacy"). No OCs or anime-filler characters, please, but any other character, however obscure, is welcome.
