## Journal entries

Master Sanjuro has never before interrupted by training, yet he abandoned it in a heartbeat today. What it that Morimitsu told him, to alarm him so? And why would Sensei not permit me to come with him? His daughter Aiko believes it is something serious, and wants us to follow him. I do not want to disappoint her, even though it means going against her father's orders.

No sign of trouble in the town. This is a day like any other, save for that Sensei is nowhere to be found. Perhaps we should go to the main gate, and ask the guards if Master Sanjuro has left town. He will surely reprimand me for not remaining at the dojo as he ordered - but if he is in danger, I must aid him.

Bandits, here! So that is why Sensei left the dojo in such a hurry. But I can fight too - he should have taken me with him. I will prove myself capable, first by helping my friends and neighbors, and then by joining at his side to repel these vicious invaders.

So much death, and such destruction. There are dozens of these marauders, but no sign yet of Master Sanjuro. I must reach the outskirts and search for him there, as I told Aiko I would. I can defend myself, but I pray she has remained out of sight. It is bad enough that I disobeyed Sensei, but if she were to be harmed...

Forgive me, Sensei. Had I not interfered, had I not tried to battle the bandits' leader, you might still be alive. Though I cannot atone, I will keep the vow I swore as Yomi claimed you. I will protect our people and I will stand by your Aiko. I will follow the way of the samurai, for as long as I live.
