Era luna

Reminder: The first part of this novel is about the first village of Shikari Gakure. I didn't include the important part of this because I'm focusing on the Darks and Actions of the novel. So, I only included some of the things about Shikari Gakure's childhood that happens to him. This Swordsman's Era is all about stopping and destroying who destroyed them first. I straight-up changed the sequence of chapter 2 it's gonna be fighting against the Darks and traveling far. This novel chapter 1 is just about Shikari Gakure's childhood but I didn't include all of it.

I included only one of them, I'm gonna put the whole story of Shikari Gakure in another novel because it's gonna be long and tragedy.

Date: Æ1264 4, 3

Coldness and warmth combined. It was morning and the sun was so shiny. The sound of the birds chirping blended harmoniously with the melody of the dancing leaves in the trees near the east.

Shikari Gakure is wandering around inside their house. They'll be leaving in a couple of hours to travel to another village in the north.

He is four years old and lives in Basilaska village with his parents. He is very young when they are in the Basilaska village woodlands. The Basilaska town is surrounded by large red trees that cover a brick path, and there are many people and two-story houses.

Shikari would miss this place. He was packing up his clothes in a small bag. After packing his clothes he stands in front of his old bed with the good smell of the environment and leaves outside their house in the trees. He's not gonna forget about these things. He was enjoying his final look at the magnificence of the Red Big Trees and his final day in his beloved bed. He closed his eyes and smelled the aroma of the surroundings. It was really quiet. The village was serene.

His father is at the castle's main office. He's waiting for him to call his name for the horses to give and the bodyguards. He's finally called. He walked inside the main office and saw that the head chief was writing something on the documents on his table. He was a bit old-looking because of the small wrinkles on his face but his dark muscular body boldly shows his activeness. He had his reading glass on while reading a document on his table.

After noticing his presence, the chief raised his head to look at him. He took his glasses off and blinked twice before rubbing his eyes.

"You got everything you need for today? I tell you it's gonna be a long journey where you're gonna move in." The chief said in a dark voice. He nodded. He sat on the chair in front of the chief's desk.

"The bodyguards will meet you outside this building and there should be two horses with them for your family. Good luck on your journey to the north, "the chief gave him good luck in their journey.

"Thank you, chief, for the good luck. I hope we don't run into anything other than other men heading north," he remarked, smiling at the chief.

"Just be careful, because the world outside of this village is full of corruption and evil. Everything out there is the polar opposite of what's in this peaceful village," the chief advised.

"You will possibly encounter strong opponents and the possibility of encountering something you've never seen before on your journey, which is why you and your family cannot travel alone on this journey," the chief remarked as he noticed the chief's terror in his eyes.

His brow furrowed abruptly. "Chief, thank you for the uhmm... advice, and thanks for the great and helpful info," Shikari Gakure's father stated.

He gazed at the chief, getting more curious, but the chief had already pursed his lips, restraining himself from speaking further.

He sighed and simply nodded.

"I have to leave now, we can't travel all night", he said as he stood up. The chief nodded and returned to his work on the table.

He left the castle's main office and proceeded to the three-story residence next to the castle. He'll be standing outside until the bodyguards arrive.

After a couple of minutes of waiting outside the castle. Three armored bodyguards arrive, "Why are there only three bodyguards?" He asked.

"You will be encountering a lot of armored bodyguards in the way, so don't get ahead." The guard replied solemnly. One of the bodyguards hands over a light blue scroll to Shikari's father.

"What is this for?" he asks.

"This scroll is the key to the front north wind gate. If you don't have this, you can't get in," the guard answered.

"Okay, I'll hide this for now."

He returns to his family with the horses, while the bodyguards wait outside the Basilaska village gate. They will begin to move as soon as he arrives, and they must remain alert.

The horses are on their way, two horses, and his father is riding one of them. This is their first time riding a horse as a family, so he'll be teaching them how to ride one.

They use horses to travel to the north, where there is more water, fish, and other healthier marine species. North, the north is one of the most prosperous nations of the three other big nations, but not only are the four big nations big, there are other nations bigger than these four big nations, but what the four big nations are afraid of are the Dark mobs and the other Darks, for now, is the well-known name that is strong is the Dark Shira, and this Darks was able to kill the leaders of the south's 4th and 5th armies.

Middle of the day.

They are now leaving at the front gate of Basilaska Village. They will be guarded by these three bodyguards and encounter a lot of armored bodyguards at their destination. Traveling this far is dangerous.

After a couple of hours of travel, it was late at night.

"We've now arrived at the Long Dead Dark Village, which is halfway to our destination," the bodyguard explained. In that day, one half-day has passed.

"It's getting dark on our way, bodyguards, should we be concerned?" Shikari Gakure's father inquired. "Just keep moving, don't stop, there might be something in our back, but everything that's going to happen, we've got it under control," one of the bodyguards replied.

The bodyguard mentioned a dead village in the distance. Seeing the derelict dwellings and seeing a lot of blood while traveling down the river. "Dad, what is that village? It's so dark, and I can smell it. It's terrible," Shikari Gakure inquires. "Son, that's a dead village. Bodyguards, are you sure we're safe?"

"Don't worry there's gonna be a lot of swordsmans coming in here any minute now. I also see a lot of big clear paths, It's gonna be hot at any minute now." He answered making Shikari's father sigh in relief.

After a few minutes of riding in a horse heading north. A bodyguard speaks, and they hear a lot of noises around them. "They're here! Quick Sir! we're gonna be traveling faster if we don't keep up we're gonna be in big trouble," the bodyguard yells at them.

Shikari Gakure's father accelerated the horses' pace. The horses began to accelerate rapidly.

They've seen a dead village, dead animals, and even dead bodies, a dead village is one in which no one lives due to an unknown Creature lurking around in it.

After traveling for three days.

They now arrive at the north front gate, where they see one of the world's largest gate nations, and where they see armored soldiers in the corners.

They notice a keyhole. "Please put the light blue scroll of the gate to enter the north village in here so you can get in," the soldier remarked as he led them. They inserted the scroll.

North Wind is the name of the village. It's one of the giant nations.

The north wind gate is guarded by a large number of armored soldiers. There are two guards outside and on the side of the wall, and four guards at the top. They have a barrier in front of the gate, but there is a hole in the middle of the gate that you must put something in to enter the north wind village, otherwise, you will be considered a thief or a spy from the hidden nations.

His father inserted the light blue scroll, allowing them to enter. The pale blue scroll began to function, and the gate began to open.

Shikari Gakure and his family are now walking inside. Shikari Gakure turns around and notices that there are a lot of people there. A large number of horses approached at the front gate.

They noticed a man shackled and encircled by five guards wielding spears and swords to their left and not far away. Many others were watching to see what the guards would do to that man.

Shikari Gakure's family is walking to the side, he's father suddenly stops. He looks at the guy that has been surrounded by the bodyguards.

He made conversation with the man in front of him. "Why was that man tied up? He was even surrounded by high-ranking guards," he said of the man in front of him. "Because that man allegedly tried to sneak in through the front gate earlier, and he didn't have a light blue scroll, so he tried," the man explained.

The scrolls are symbolized as a key to every great nation's north, south, east, west, and other more hidden big nations.

"We should leave here, more and more people are coming, lest we be separated, Son Shikari Hold my hand," his wife murmured, touching him. They proceed directly to their destination.

Shikari Gakure and his parents are heading out of the crowd but get lost, Shikari Gakure can't wait to get into their new home, Shikari Gakure is tired and exhausted, and his father is looking for for a guard within the Northwind for an assists.

He noticed an armored guard standing outside the castle. "Do you know where the new houses are?" Shikari Gakure's father inquired.

"All the new houses should be on that straight path. Just go far north straight that path and you'll see a lot of new houses." He replied.

"Thank you, Sir!" He thank him as they proceed.

The guard nodded and smiled. As the guard remarked, he slowly turned around and saw a number of armored horses and an army leaving the castle, as well as the heads of the village, who were wearing full-body armor and an army with a mark rank on their shoulder, a leaf rank.

He ignored them and returned to his family, who had moved to their new home. They travel with the horses by their sides, following the guard's instructions to stay on the straight route.

They see an entire stone walkway ahead of them, as well as larger and larger trees. "This should be where the new houses are," his father said calmly as they continued walking.

The heads of the north wind village are aware of an impending major threat in the village, but they continue to ignore it and flee because they don't want to die, they want to continue their smuggling and drug trafficking into other large nations, but their folly will be exposed soon enough.

His father has finally discovered their new home, a two-story house with a barn next to it. Shikari Gakure abandons his horse and rushes to their new home, as promised by his father. His father separates Shikari Gakure's horse and walks inside the stable to feed and rest the horses.

"You should come to our house and put our daughter to bed in a comfortable bed." He told his wife. "Okay, you should be here before dinner," she said. As his wife turned around and headed towards their new home, he smiled.
