[Introduction] Destiny - Shimazu Okuro

[Tenshin]

A warrior walked, heart closed and never talked,
the sword that he brought, was clean, in top notch.

In his hand was a piece of silk, pink and free from filth,
but he kept it to himself, and never showed anyone else,
only drawing it out, with nobody around,
a simple cloth with a meaning profound.

It was all he had left from a life that was stopped,
he would hold it and think of the life he had lost,
the reason he travelled, to avenge the death,
of his fiance, and retrieve the cost of a theft.

Two days before their marriage, she was attacked in her home,
they killed her and took an heirloom that had belonged,
to Okuro before he had given it to his wife,
as a token of love, and a promise for life.

She was burried, and Okuro was broken to see,
that his gift to her, ended the life she would lead,
but it wasn't the object or the life that was lost,
the heirloom he gave her was a key to a lock,
a lock to a safe, hidden in a distant place,
where his family had hidden their secret plates,
the plates had words that formed a scroll,
with techniques forbidden for people to know.

It's been two years, he wondered the land,
he had to find the terrible man,
who killed his wife and stole the key,
He'd risk his life for destiny.
