I alone, match for a hundred foes.]]> 2019-05-06 21:14:55 UTC https://padlet.com/24jbui/HanzoFirstTimeInBattle/wish/357393624 24jbui https://padlet.com/24jbui/HanzoFirstTimeInBattle/wish/357396988 As soon I walked out the gates of my palace. I saw a shield wall of red, white, and black design. It was getting bigger, larger. I held my katana's hilt, ready to strike when the time comes. And then that is when I saw a large object on the hill near the shield wall. I-... It was a Ballista. It fired. I closed my eyes and awaited my fate, it was too late for Harakiri, and then I saw my Commander, the Shogun running towards me and tackling me to the ground, saving my life. I thanked him but this is war. War has no friends, we had to fight on.]]> 2019-05-06 21:29:22 UTC https://padlet.com/24jbui/HanzoFirstTimeInBattle/wish/357396988 24jbui https://padlet.com/24jbui/HanzoFirstTimeInBattle/wish/357400989 I stood back up, standing at attention to the Shogun. He bowed slightly to me and in a blink. I felt a gush of wind and he was gone, slaying the enemy. I steadied myself on the ground, Having tackled to the ground, I felt a slight pain in my body, I looked to the spot to notice that there is a small knife lodged into my side. It wasn't a wakizashi, it was small, or else I would be dead right now. I pulled it out, followed by deep pain. I dropped it on the ground. My armor now has a large slit in it. But if my helmet is still worn true on my head, I am alive. I'd then continue my stance as I await the wall to close into me.]]> 2019-05-06 21:48:30 UTC https://padlet.com/24jbui/HanzoFirstTimeInBattle/wish/357400989 24jbui https://padlet.com/24jbui/HanzoFirstTimeInBattle/wish/357403124 I'd then looked up at the sky, erupting with fire from their arrows from bows, ballistas, or purely mirages from the chaos. I'd took a deep breath in the air, maybe to flush out the anxiety from this wall closing towards me. I'd then take in a particular smell. It smelled like my Shogun's breath every time he'd stare me down during training. I'd spin around to greet a lone samurai. I knew he was an enemy, it was the same color as the shield wall, this is an enemy. I drew my katana and attacked at the samurai. We had a quick battle. It was quick because I have recognized the fight pattern. Kendo. I immediately subdued him and bowed above his corpse. I'd then continue my stance toward the wall.]]> 2019-05-06 21:59:43 UTC https://padlet.com/24jbui/HanzoFirstTimeInBattle/wish/357403124 24jbui https://padlet.com/24jbui/HanzoFirstTimeInBattle/wish/357415800 With the boredom of keeping my stance, ready for the wall to close in. I'd begin to spin my katana in a uniform fashion. I heard the blade cutting through the air, whirling around me as I heard a voice. "An immovable object against an unstoppable force..." I spun around to deflect an arrow coming at full speed. That-... That voice was my shogun... I was in shock, I almost died there. If it weren't for my shogun, I would be on the floor. I was breathing intensely, echoed through my helmet. I scanned for the archer where the arrow came from. I found him and I ended him with a thrown kunai, out of my hand. The sound of the kunai piercing through the air and into the archer felt amusing. I'd then turn to the wall, now right in front of me...]]> 2019-05-06 23:29:01 UTC https://padlet.com/24jbui/HanzoFirstTimeInBattle/wish/357415800 24jbui https://padlet.com/24jbui/HanzoFirstTimeInBattle/wish/357829436 I'd stumble back, startled by the sudden appearance of the shield wall. I heard chattering behind it, and before I know it. The shield wall split in half to reveal a small battalion of 500 soldiers. I strengthened my grip on my katana. One samurai, quite larger than the other soldiers approached alone to me. He was sparking the colors of the shields, bearing a larger and different flag on him. I heard a loud boom to the left of me but I focused on this person. He yelled out at me, "I am the daimyo of my men, if you wish to fight my men, you'll have to go through me." I stood my ground, I replied back, "It has been boring, I'd rather duel you, Daimyo."
The samurai lifted his nodachi off of his shoulder. I then recognize as a Kensei, a sword saint. I have never seen one before because I'm an Orochi, a versatile warrior. We circled around each other before I started the duel with a throw of a kunai to distract him and I charge in to start the battle that went on for 10 minutes. We paused for a bit and we both charged at each other and a complete silence follows.]]> 2019-05-07 21:08:19 UTC https://padlet.com/24jbui/HanzoFirstTimeInBattle/wish/357829436 24jbui https://padlet.com/24jbui/HanzoFirstTimeInBattle/wish/357847146 Johnny D.

I had none. I turned around to see that daimyo looking straight at me. I spun my katana around, ready to end the battle. The daimyo had his helmet off, broken on the ground near him, revealing his true face. I looked closer and I gasped. It was... "Uesugi? Why are you here?" I kept my stance at him, not trusting anything. He then replied, "Hanzo?" It is him, "I have never shared my name to anyone, even you, how did you-." Uesugi cuts me off, "A wise man told me... You know, the one that keeps on saving you." It was my shogun, where is he? I knew I couldn't stop the battle here, I had to finish my orders. I drew my katana at my own brother. "I have my orders, turn your army around, or you'll die with them." I had no remorse, I shall not embarrass myself to my shogun again. I'd see my palace gate open up behind my brother. This would reveal my allies, my soldiers. The armies of both sides attacked, charged into one of the other. I lost sight of my brother. I never saw him again in that battle. We had repelled the attack. My first battle was my first victory...]]> 2019-05-07 23:50:55 UTC https://padlet.com/24jbui/HanzoFirstTimeInBattle/wish/357856404 24jbui https://padlet.com/24jbui/HanzoFirstTimeInBattle/wish/357865200 2019-05-08 00:36:40 UTC https://padlet.com/24jbui/HanzoFirstTimeInBattle/wish/357865200 24jbui https://padlet.com/24jbui/HanzoFirstTimeInBattle/wish/357865766 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/1aeYve33HMLMBEhB3WVHNa?si=RQQGi1fUSjelG90UWhJ78g

This song is featured in the promotional cinematic for the game For Honor. I have chosen this song because it is about war. As warriors of the empire, samurai are soldiers of the military fighting for their clan, empire, or nation. With war, there is always fire, blood in the water. With war, we could either loose everything, or their castle down]]> 2019-05-08 00:39:33 UTC https://padlet.com/24jbui/HanzoFirstTimeInBattle/wish/357865766
