A Dark Story

Mwea is a small village in Central Kenya near the slopes of the mighty Mt. Kenya. People fill their days here nurturing their rice fields, and praying that this harvest will be plentiful. And on these fields a young girl, named Grace Kamau, was very busy fighting with a long stick she found somewhere against many invisible enemies. Her mother had sent her on some errand to the market five miles down the road. And Grace enjoyed the time alone. Ever since she had been to visit some relatives in Nairobi with her baby brother, where she had been able to watch a television, she couldn’t stop thinking what she had seen. There had been a movie about a blind swordsman that could fight 10 attackers at once. Her brother had run away crying but Grace had been glued to the screen.

Grace had become so absorbed in the fantasy that didn’t noticed a man on her path until she actual swung her stick at him. She shocked, embarrassed and quite scared. “Where did this man come from? He looked like a mzungu. And why did I not see him earlier?” But the man did not seem upset at all; in fact he smiled and asked her where she had learned such weapon skills. Of course, Grace was too scared to answer, and just stared at him. He said he is an emissary from Lord Nobunaga, the noblest of Lord. His lord had sent him to roam the world in search for mighty fighter that will join his army that will soon rule the world. And he asked if she would want to join. Grace was still too scared to think clearly and could not do more than nod. “Good” he said with a rather evil undertone that was entirely lost on Grace, he took her hand and started walking into the rice field. “My name is Kamasuro, and you will be “Okugi” from now on”. And while walking through the rice field Grace felt something changed, she knew she was no longer in Kenya.

In the years that followed Grace, who was now called Okugi, was being training in the art of Japanese sword fighting. How Kamasuro knew that she had such unbelievable skills and how he had managed to find her remained a mystery. In the early days she often missed her family and begged Kamasuro to return her home, but her pleads were only answered by laughter and punishment. Eventually she resigned in her faith and dedicated herself on becoming more powerful and more mysterious. Especially her skills in becoming “invisible” seem to be pleasing Kamasuro.

And then one day Kamasuro told her the training is over, and Lord Nobunaga is calling for her. In all these years she had never met her Lord and had some high expectations about this “Noblest of Lords”. But the meeting was not as exciting as she expected. Kamasuro let her to an army camp and told her they will be part of the attack on a secret village where Akata warriors were trained. The odds seemed ridiculous. Lord Nobunaga’s army seemed many times stronger than the one village. But Kamasuro assured her that the eye deceived her and told her what her mission would be. As the main army would charge in she would have to get into the village and murder a woman called Akumai and her son Jenko. Okugi was very unhappy about this order but she still believed in her lord’s wisdom. So as the assault began, she slipped into the village and went looking for Lady Akumai. She found her, sitting outside a house as if it was any other day. And before Okugi could think what she actually did her blade was drawn and she saw Lady Akumai falling down. And as that happened time seemed to stand still and she began to realize what she had done, and what Kamasuro had done to her, and what Lord Nobunaga is doing to this world. She turned around and looked into the eyes of Jenko, and somehow also into the eyes of her own lost baby brother, and then everything turned black.

When she woke up she was all alone. She was in a rice field somewhere. She didn’t hear any human activity. She was all alone again. As she walked back to the road she realized she was back in Kenya again. Overfilled with joy of being back home she ran to her mother’s house. But when she arrived there she was greeted by strangers. As it turned out her mother had been killed many years ago in front of her son by “ghosts”. They didn’t really want to tell her too many details, since they seemed still very scared. And they seemed very scared of Okugi as well, since she was dressed in the same clothes as these ghosts were.

It became clear to her now what to do. She had to find her brother, take revenge on Kamasuro and Lord Nobunaga, and if possible also find out what happened to the Japanese boy that looked somehow connected to her brother. And that night she had a dream. She was walking in a city in the United States, and in the dream she met a Japanese man who asked her if she had any news on his brother. With a shock she woke up and knew her destiny would in that American city. And she also knew it will not be easy. Her enemies will have many allies there, but she knows she will find there at least one friend. But how will she be able to look into the eyes of this man whose mother she had murdered? She tried to convince herself that was another life under another name. As she started her journey to Paragon City she decided to change her name to Fumbo and worry about the day she will meet this man when it happens.
