The Samurai Tales

December 24, 1875

Vasilisa: "We're gonna reach Aden, Yemen in two to three days."

Ryujiro: "Yeah."

Vasilisa remembers Dusty.

"Today is your birthday. I wish we were together to celebrate it."

Texas, USA:

An old man was cooking food in his dark room.

"So.. How are you feeling now, young man?"

Dusty: "I'm.. fine."

This old man, Clyde Rawlins found Dusty in the desert and took him to his place.

Dusty: "How is Ashfall now?"

Clyde: "She's getting better. No need to worry.

Now that you're good.. Why don't you tell me about how you ended up in the desert?"

Dusty: "I escaped from prison.. And started a journey to find my long lost lover, Vasilisa.

In the desert, I crossed paths with him.. He's terrifying like a snake lurking behind you..

Yaztahruis. The one who controls everything.

The absolute ruler of the world.

I don't know how he became a person like that.. He was kind once."

Clyde: "So you personally know him?"

Dusty: "Yeah.. Jonas. His real name... Not many people know about him. Only his closest subordinates and relatives do."

Clyde: "Jonas.. Does he have green eyes.. and long, dark purple hair at the edges?.."

Dusty: "Do you know him, Old man?"

Clyde: "He was.. My student. I taught him how to fight.. When I saw him as an orphan who had nobody."

Dusty: "This world sure is small.. I found the master who created that evil student..

So you took him with you. Just like me."

Dusty sees a newspaper and starts reading.

"Wh-... What?.. Revoryution. What's this bullshit.

Vasilisa?"
