Samurai Journal

Samurai Alacron

Well now that I'm all alone I'll simply make a journal of my
thoughts.

Nighttime Day 4

Sythe's request for night protection is a logical one, and it is
easily assumed that he will get it but I am hesitent. firstly there
are a lot of night kills possible. The Ninja, the Oni, the Ronin, and
the new Murusame Blade. If I assume that his word that he will be
protected is enough to keep them all from attempting to kill him then
I should save the protection or at least use it on someone at more
risk like myself. The question is if Sythe's word he has protection is
enough.

Thanks to my mistakes and face's skillful capitalizations on that typo
some assume I am a ninja Dismortis in particular. Also with Sythe's
confirmation that Hipatitis! is not a Samurai and that he refuted a
Dismortis attempt to start a train for myself, Iggy and Hipatitis!
that leaves only myself and Iggy in the sights of an observant ninja.

I don't know if this is my paranoia talking or if I truly have reason
to fear. I don't know if Sythe's words will protect him or if one of
our nightly murders will still attempt a kill. I still have more then
16 hours before the night ends, and I know I must use my sword
tonight, it is sharp and it is ready the only two questions my minds
holds is do strike to attack or do I parry to defend and whom shall
receive my swords work.

Morning Day 5

I spent the night holding my sword as I watched my former brother
sythe sleep. Both of us lived through the night and I saw no action.
While maintaining my facade as a whale hunter during the day I would
no longer have the energy to spend another night awake to guard so we
step into this night unprotected.

The day has started with accusations as it always does I will see how
this develops, though despite my public words I do believe in
KingPellinore and sythe's plan but I want to see who will join me in
dissent perhaps one of those other dissenters will be the one who I
let taste my blade when night falls.

Nighttime day 5

It is a cold and moonless night as I step out with murder on my mind
Sythe had used the town forum to announce his plans to all and give
everyone a path to follow, mine was not the only dark task but I
carried the brightest blade. My choice now was if I should listen or
not to my brother in arms, I had begun to fear that his brush with
death may have unhinged him more then was readily apparent.

I begun to question if it was even worth making choices on my own, but
the answer was in from of me all along. The future is not fixed, and
my choices are my own. And yet, how ironic -- for I now find, I have
no choice at all! I am a warrior... let the battle be joined. Sythe
had lead us all down this path and to abandone part of his plan would
not only dishonor my samurai brothers but also dishonor those who made
the sacrifies by chosing to follow his plan tonight.

With this knowledge I set out about my business of ending the life of
context, the sword must taste blood and the target has been chosen.
