Part one: A sick prince and The hooded dragon:

It was peaceful night near the palace of the Shuri Palace, the high curved walls and red roof tops made out of clay stone layered one after the other, red cherry trees that welted and swayed in the wind. Warriors on patrol protecting the shoguns family. The family's trusted warrior was with the young lord who was ill, He was born with the illness and was very weak to go outside and go on adventures of his own. He was resting in his bed upright, He was weak looking not even 18 teen years of age. As he talked to him his voice was weak and very pitched. He loved his families bodyguard with his stories of battles, and exploits of him and Jin his pupil. He was a man in years, his mid 40s, he hard look of a warrior, with light dark skin long black hair that was in a warriors bun with his side burns loose. He sat do on the floor, very poised along with jin who was a young man of 20 just he had a stuctured handsome face also black coal hair that was up in a pony tail. the both had service kimono's on that where red and white, along with their weapons of choice. Jin's was a long well built spear that was good for fighting up close with out the enemy getting close up to you. The man had a family airloom a long brood sided katana that was always at his side, He was a man of war and the best there was he and never lost a match, but he was humble about it. 

He bowed to the young prince leaving with Jin, "May our young master have a peaceful night."

The boy nodded his head and smiled, then coughed.

The two walked down the grand halls of the Shuri with red pillars banners of the family's symbol to go on patrol to keep the family safe.


The noise of swift feet running covered the roof tops as a hooded figure ran across it like a ghost unseen and unheard, the figure jumped over gaps and picked up speed as the feet of the hooded figure gain momentum kicking off a pillar and grasping a porch railings, gracefully lifting up landing on the top. The young prince laid awake with his eyes opened still thinking about the stories, until he saw a shadow behind his paper sliding doors, he slowly goes up and rushed over to the door sliding it open, over exerting himself he began to cough, after calming himself he gazed around but there was nothing.

Then without warning to the prince, the hooded figure dropped down on top of him covering his mouth he was lifeless he was also shaking his eye wide with fright. The night sky lit the edges of the hooded figure, it was a, girl he said to himself, she had her lower face cover with a mask but her chest was not so easy to conceal, her eyes where like a dragons, They where a bright yellow and orange but they where beautiful nothing he'd ever seen before, he realized she had a small throwing daggers up to his throat and two katanas on her back, her voice was smooth , but was harsh, "If you want to live, you will stay silent?"

He nodded his head in fear, She rushed up quickly putting away her dagger, without thinking he try's to stop her, "Who-?"

She quickly draws her sword it was so fast that you couldn't even see her move her hand, the boy's eye widen as the feeling of blood began to run down his cheek, she spoke, "I told you not to speak."

He felt something he'd never felt before, the pain of the cut on his cheek, and the feeling in his chest he felt like he was going to pass out, he began to cough, but she didn't do anything, she stood there her eyes where still as harsh and cold.

She then quickly drew her other sword and spun around, Jin attacked her as the older man went for the prince. He grabbed him and he shouted, "No, don't kill her!"

Jin pushed down as she blocked with her two swords crossing each other she didn't seem to have trouble with Jin one bit, she sliced with force and Jin spear cut in half and flung into the wall. With still a little of metal with his spear he lunged at her, She did a back flip landing on the railing, he jabbed at her feet as she flipped dodging each one. She then twirled using both of her feet like a windmill and kick his weapon out of his hands his face winds with fear. As she pointed her sword at his throat, But instead of killing him she did a 90 degree angled kick to his rib cage flying him through the paper door. She dropped down of the railing, Jin grabbed his rib caged and moaned in pain, the man then got up, "Please stay back your young lord."

He pulled out his sword, he then went in his warriors stance waiting for her to attack but she seemed to not want to attack first, he spoke to her, "What is your business, are you a Kenjo assassin?"

She replied, "No."

His face widen, "I see you are a women, I must warn you I will not take pity on you because you are a women."

She crosses her swords facing them down, "You think that is suppose to intimidate me?"

Jin rushed at her and she kicked him, blood shot out of his mouth. The prince was like a rock, he didn't move, he was trembling. She looked over at him, "I see?" 

She rushed at him swinging her swords and he dodged each one like it was nothing but child's play, He swiped his sword at her when the best chance came, She dodged it just barely, The mask split in two and fell to the ground, The prince face turned red and he became in awe, she was beautiful, she had plump lips, soft pale skin, her eye glowed with the night. Her look however was emotionless, She then laughed as she reach for her cape and threw it off, she was wearing something that didn't look like she was from here, maybe from the Sky Nation, it was a vest with straps all around her, baggy black pants and high boots with buckles. Her hair was long and red, she also bared a tattoo that looked like two next to each other. She then put away her swords, "I am done playing with you, I am here to warn you something is coming here to kill your master."

He stayed his ground, "You dodge when your losing and lie to get out of a fight, a coward move."

She smirked with evilness, "What would be the point in me lying, we can continue to fight if that's what you want but i wont be going easy any more."

He was about to attack her, but the prince jumped in front of them he was sweating and breathing heavy, "Lang, do not kill her, this is an order from your master."

He lowered his guard, "She tried to kill you, your highness she is-"

The prince feel to his knee and Lang rushed to his side, "My lord!" He grabbed him by the shoulders, as other men came in, the boy kept whispering, "Please, don't kill, her." 

She went for her cape on the ground and threw it over her shoulders and slipped her hood on. The room began to fill with guards. She glided over to the bed and sat down.

One of the guards helped Jin up, they began screaming and yelling for a doctor. The guard came forward and bowed to Lang with the weak prince in hand, not looking at royalty he spoke quickly and nervously, "What happened here, Lang?" but before he could answer, a voice carried over the room, it was very annoying, and high pitched, "What is going on here!" A big man adorn in silks wobbled into the room. The big man looked around then saw a strange hooded figure sitting on the bed, he yelled while pointing a his fan at her, "Who is this!" Lang handed the prince over to his men, and got up looking at the girl she didn't seem afraid or even at all interested in what was happening with the young lord, she seemed disgusted actually everytime the young lords uncle would speak. He turned to Lang, "Will someone care to explain, who this girl is?"

The prince spoke softly under his breath, but it could be made out. Lang responded with a bow, "forgive me my-" 

She crossed her legs, "Names Akyara, Kimizano, I was hired by the queen." 

  The man snorted, "Guards take Akyara Kimizano to the dungeon, We will see if your story checks out." They rushed over to her and she didn't struggle or fight, She got up and walked with the guards out of the room, she stopped and looked at Lang, "If you think your as good as a warrior as you act, i would not leave your master side for anything in the coming days."
