3)New Beginnings III
Flashback- Japan. 5 years before.
Darkness. The cold rain hit's the wet ground. A shape in the oily nightscape.
It is the rat.
It runs. It runs, it mind full of things it never would have none before. But now, it is not a simple rodent. It is a wise creature.
And it continues to run. Seeking shelter. It finds this shelter. A small home. A dojo.
And it crawls in.
There is movement in the dojo. A shape. The shape moves in ways strange to the rat. And yet, ways it finds amusing. It begins to mimic the shape, standing on it's hind feet with it's tail.
The shape stops. It moves towards the rat. The rat is completely concentrated on it's on movements. The shape is bathed in light fro a candle.
It is a man.
The man picks up the rat. A smile escapes the man's stern face. He had seen the rat's movements.
"So my little friend, you wish to learn the Ninjitsu of my clan?"
The rat squeaked, understanding the words of the man. The man laughed.
"I am called Hamato Yoshi."
The rat squeaked, letting it's mind open to the man's words.
"And you. You shall be called Splinter."
