“Where did they go Ikiru?” I asked him as I made my way back towards the docks. Someplace that we can’t follow, He responded. I’d never heard him this defeated before. “Ikiru, you have to tell me. We have to stop them.” I pressed. There had to be a way. It’s useless, there’s nothing we can… Continue reading Jin and the Solstice of Blood (Part 23)
“We lost,” Ikiru said, I could feel his hold on my body start to slip. “It’s over now, we won’t be able to stop them in time.” He sunk to his, or rather, my knees. Give me my body back. We have to get out of here. I thought and strangely, without objection he complied, I… Continue reading Jin and the Solstice of Blood (Part 22)
“You…” Shi Fan said with a cold venom in his voice. “So this is the secret behind ‘samurai Jin’ huh? An old ghost who doesn’t know how to die.” “That is more than I can say for you Izanagi,” Ikiru answered, placing his hand on his sword. Just what the hell… is going on? This was… Continue reading Jin and the Solstice of Blood (Part 21)
[Had to write in the evening today due to a crazy day] The sound of the wind was all that could be heard as my eyes started to adjust to the darkness before they flashed back on revealing the grizzly scene before me. Gashira had been killed. His body ripped apart in the same manner as… Continue reading Jin and the Solstice of Blood (Part 20)
Ikiru, I need to talk now. It’s too critical. I said to in his/my mind. “No,” were his words out of my mouth. “No?” Shi Fan said quizzically. “You’re here aren’t you? Now. Take a seat.” He added with authority at the end. Ikiru seemed unfazed and slowly made his way towards the table with… Continue reading Jin and the Solstice of Blood (Part 19)
[Today has been insanely hard to find time to write but here’s a short amount! Gotta write every day!!!] Hold on, I protested. I think I should have the reins here. “Not yet, if I’m right and she’s here, you can’t fight her,” Ikiru answered as he moved swiftly through the castle. There weren’t as many guards… Continue reading Jin and the Solstice of Blood (Part 18)
My breathing slowed, and my heart rate dropped as well. I focused on my breath and the sensations of my body. My ribs were beginning to ache again, and I accepted the pain, letting it wash past me and back away from the forefront of my mind. I needed to focus. “Ikiru,” I said slowly.… Continue reading Jin and the Solstice of Blood (Part 17)
[Skipping back and forth, but so is the nature of this kinda writing. Been struggling with inspiration and motivation lately] After having tied up Chihiro and fed the cat who seemed happy and content to purr and rub his tail all over her face, I left the two of them and headed toward the castle… Continue reading Jin and the Solstice of Blood (Part 16)
My new cat began to lick the water that I had tossed onto the girl’s face to wake her up. She groaned and looked around my shabby room. “This? What happened?” She asked groggily, shaking her head. “This is where you live?” Choosing to respond to the first question. “I won and took you prisoner… Continue reading Jin and the Solstice of Blood (Part 15)
[got some food poisoning but I will write every day!!] I charged her drawing my sword and slashing at her cannon as I went.

However, the cracking sound… Continue reading Jin and the Solstice of Blood (Part 14)
