Part One : The Memory :

A man walks down the street. His name, Jericho, he wears Black baggy pants, a black vest, white undershirt and has a sword in it's sheeth, he is a novice swordsman.

Jericho walks down the street and walks out of the town.

A man is getting slaughtered.

Jericho fights a weak bandit and kills him.

Jericho : Bandits...

Man : Shinsei has caused too much trouble, Tatakai and Koi his bodyguards are hiring bandits and sending them this way.

Jericho takes a toothpick out of his mouth and smashes it.

Jericho : Is that so?

Jericho walks back inside the town and alerts the guards.

Chief Guard : Is that so, the weopons of steel shall have blood honed on them today.

A arrow lunges at a guard as he falls off the gate.

Chief Guard : What the hell?

A Demon with a sword that has a handle in the middle and two blades sticking out jumps over the wall and twirls its blade killing a guard.

They kill it as the gate breaks down and arrows pierce them into the ground.

Arrows lunge and pierce many Guards as Jericho roles out of the way and arrows fill the streets as demons holding giant swords slice their way through as bodies fill the street.

The House Jericho had roled into collapsed on him and everything went dark.

Jericho woke up 4 hours later as everyone in town was dead, the gate burned, the village burned, rocks collapsed, as bodies littered the street, along with horrors...

Jericho pulled himself out from under the support beam and his eyes raised and he looked at the village.

Jericho had a horrified look on his face seeing all this destruction.

Jericho walked through the paved, desecrated streets filled with bodies and steel.

Jericho's flashback ends.

Jericho : Hard to believe that only happened 5 hours ago.

He sits near a fire and grips his sword.
