Mh tales CH2 : Lunar eclipse


 * Intro

The night sky was grim with a blood red moon. It was the time of sacrifice for the people of shizu .Every lunar eclipse the beast arrives into Shizu woods making the wildlife tremble with it's immense amount of aura .It waits there for a human to be offered to it otherwise it would enter the village killing everyone. The village chief must decide who should go as a sacrifice for the beast. His decisions are limited since the population of Shizu decimated greatly.

Village Chief : It's time ...

Chief's Daughter : Father, please we can't do this! Isn't there another way ?

Village Chief : We must, I told you before and i won't repeat myself.

Chief's Daughter : Then who will it be? We only have a handfull of people left in this place. The boy?

Village Chief : No, not the boy. We may have some use for him soon-

Village Gaurd : Allow me, Chief!

Village Chief : Hmmm Kabuto? You just became a father are you sure you do not want to stay with your wife and newborn boy?

Kabuto : In order to protect my family, I must sacrifice myself for them !

Village Chief : Alright then, * the Chief goes back in his hut and comes back with a beautiful longsword * Take this * He hands it to Kabuto *  this was what I used to use when I was your age. I call it Sentoryu. Use it wisely, my boy.

Kabuto : Yes sir! I will not fail you! *leaves towards gate of exit*

Village Chief : I have this feeling he won't survive

Chief's Daughter :Why do you say that?

Village Chief : The boy's inexperienced like the other that came by yesturday. But I allowed him to go since he wanted to and had a dying will of protecting his family. * moving back to his hut *

Chief's Daughter : *Saying to herself* I can't believe you...
