The Swordsman

A Confession:

A swordsman is one who champions justice and helps the oppressed.

From the moment I could grip a three-foot sword, my path in life was set.

Over the next ten years, I made waves across the martial world. For a time, everyone was talking about "busy making money with every sword stroke, yet leaving no trace behind." That was the kind of mastery I had achieved.

Mastery brought fame.

Now that "So-and-so the Swordsman" has become my name, I still walk alone. Whenever the wind rises and the moon is dark, I gaze at the dazzling gold and silver in my hand and can't help but sigh with deep emotion.
