The night was dark and the road deserted, as the lone traveller moved towards the lights of the village lower on the mountainside. He was Tokasi Benkai, Samurai and warrior. Gold glinted from the fittings of his katana. The woods hid their shadows. They were bandits and hungry. They were also 5 to his 1. They attacked. The first went down as the samurai made *** draw. The second fell under a pear splitting stroke of the katana. The third and fourth were more cautious but also were sent onward by the warrior's flashing sword. Tokasi flicked the blood from his blade and turned to face the last. The bandit was also a swordsman, as could be seen by his stance. Tosaki knew that this man would not be an easy victory but if it was his karma to die this night, Tokasi would meet death true to his code of ... Bushido.
