The rest of the day went by with little talking on my part. I am ashamed to say that I argued with the princess about my clan laws and why the guard was created for in the first place... while I am partially thankful that she pulled back the order of speaking my mind, also ashamed I got it reascended not even a full day later, my emotions almost made themselves known as soon as the princess closed the door to her room to go to bed for the night after ordering me to go to sleep in the room next door.

4 of the new Star Guard took my place to watch over the princesses room as I entered the room that was given to me. Remembering the room layout I took my armor off and laid down on the bed after placing my katana under the pillow I simply put my hand behind my head and began to think of my clan's laws and how they were interfering with my life here in Equestria. Quite a few of them have interfered with my life and I know a few more of them will interfere should things pop up such as falling in love for the second time or if I was forced to go on a vacation...

I wish I could explain clan laws to princess Twilight but I couldn't or else I would shame my clan... I knew I was most likely the last one in my clan that was still alive after the prison break... I actually believe that I was the last one alive from my lands period if I don't count the criminals. I gave a small sigh as I heard a knock at the door and I quickly sat up on the bed and got out. Approaching the door I opened it to find to my surprise Princess Luna standing outside of the door. "greetings princess Luna." I greeted her as she gave me a smile.

"good night Sir Hanzo. May I come in?" I nodded as I moved out of the way to allow her entrance After she walked in I closed the door behind her and turned around to find her looking at my armor. " I wish to ask you a few things if you do not deem them to personal."

"certainly princess."

"can I ask just how close you were to your leaders in your world?" she then asked which surprised me slightly. " I believe I remember you telling my sister and I about your armor."

"I would say we were fairly close princess. I was requested the most by the empress whenever she needed to leave our lands." I notified her. "the emperor I believe requested me about half of that which was still quite often. I was kept busy during my time as a warrior of my clan."

"may I ask another personal question."

"I believe I am required to answer." she gave me a small almost unnoticeable frown before she spoke up once more.

"may I ask about how your... clan... operated in service to the crown?" I began to think of her words before I gave her a nod.

"I will first start off by saying that it wasn't just my clan that protected the crown. There were many other clans that trained to have the honor of serving our land as well as allied and rival lands. My clan was known to produce samurai but we did branch out quite often. My brother was a ninja. Each of the different classes were given different duties. Since my brother was a ninja he handled night patrol, investigation, and he used to do assassination until the law was made to never kill criminals. But my clan and I disobeyed this law when the breakout occurred."

"the breakout if I may ask?" she looked confused and had interest in her eyes.

"I will explain shortly as it concerns me coming to this world." she nodded in acceptance as I sat down on my bed and she sat down next to me. "me being a samurai we handled day patrol, arrests, and helped keep the peace. We were also hired as bodyguards for various nobles and the emperor and empress themselves. They tended to hire those who did the best in their service the most and seeing as I was one of the top samurais in my clan so I was asked for often."

"before we go into how you came to this world may I ask how many clans were in your land?" she then asked as I gave her a small smile.

"there were a total of 8 clans in my homeland." she nodded. "now as I said about the no killing of criminals law and how it was disobeyed... it was during the time of a massive prison breakout where all the worst of the criminals were sent. Criminals who made their name through unique skill sets and forgo their birth names in replace of names that had to do with their skill sets. You could say the criminals had a hierarchy of their own with 10 of them being the most dangerous and 1 of those 10 being the king of them all... I am glad to say that I killed him before I ended up in this world... he was also the one who cut off my arm as my clan and I fought off the never-ending horde of criminals..." he subconsciously brought my hand and brought it over to wound that stopped at my shoulder.. to this day I was still trying to figure out how his blade went through my armor yet left my armor on...

"what was his name if I may ask?" she then asked.

"he went by the name Death... before of all those he reaped in his time of freedom... he was a weapon master... able to use any weapon he could get his hand on to kill anyone who stood in his way. The preferred weapon that gave him his name... was a scythe."

"Death comes for all..." she then spoke in a near whisper as I gave her a slow nod.

"that was what he said after every massacre... what he wrote in the blood of his victims... if anyone was to be given the death sentence he would have been given it 30 times over."

"I am glad that he did not come to Equestria. I fear the days that would have come if he lived in this world and appeared when you did." I nodded.

"he was known to have a silver tongue as well. Able to convince just about anyone that he was someone different to those who did not truly know him. You could say he was my rival of sorts as I was one of the ones who mostly brought him in." she smiled.

"then I am glad that young Twilight has somepony like you as her guard. Even if my sister does that believe so." I gave her a small smile. " I believe I must get going... thank you for your time."

"before you leave princess... I believe at current time I should notify you of a clan law of mine." she looked intrigued as she motioned for me to keep talking. "should the need arise and a guard has pledged themselves to the ruler... should they deem their presence hurts the one they were pledged to in any way I must request a transfer to another for an unknown amount of time."

"meaning?" she then asked as I looked her straight in the eyes.

"should I at any point deem my mere presence affects the princess in any way... I wish to transfer my pledge for an unknown amount of time." her eyes narrowed as I realized the unasked question. "the reason I tell you of this law is that today there was an argument between the princess and I about her safety. She had reascended her order of me speaking my mind more and had ordered earlier than that that I must follow the orders of the new guard captain she had chosen when it goes against one of my clan's laws that I must only listen to her." I told her as I remembered the exact words that were traded between the two of us as I argued with the princess.

"I see your point... but wouldn't there be a problem with following another's orders with your laws?" she then asked as I saw the point she was asking. She was asking if it went against my clan's laws considering the law she knows of with me only following her orders.

"this law is the only exception to that law as we must protect our pledged from any reason... even if it means from ourselves. I wish I could tell you my clans laws but I am only allowed to talk about what is relevant at this point in time."

"you have given us a lot to think about Sir Hanzo... but I will not say no immediately... be warned that should I decide to say yes should you need to I will notify m sister of what you have told me regardless of what you say." she spoke up as I gave her a nod. "i thank you for allowing me to ask you questions about your homeland. I believe the next time you visit I'll have more questions to ask you about your homeland."

"I will be happy to answer them for your princess. May you have a good night." she nodded as she stood up and I quickly walked over to the door and opened it for her. She gave me a smile and a nod as she gave me yet another goodbye and walked out the door. I closed the door as I walked back over to the bed and lied back down on it. I closed my eyes as I remembered my homeland and my family, clan, my friends... it made a tear go down my face... before a loud knock at the door jolted my eyes opened as my face was assaulted by the light of the nearby window.

Getting up off of the bed I walked over to the door and opened it to find United Front standing there with narrowed eyes. "its time to go... you have 3 minutes to get down to the train station." he said in a serious tone as I closed the door and quickly walked over to my armor and quickly began to put it on.
