A talk of Dreams

Toshi Ranbo - Imperial College Late summer 1197

The servant kneeled next to the door and opened it slightly, he respectfully called into the room “ - Yasuki-Sama, Hida Benjiro Sama requests to speak with you. - Let him in - Very well My Lord”

The servant opened the door and Hida Benjiro walked in, kneeled and respectfully bowed to Yasuki Terumasa. The servant closed the door and for a few moments there was only silence in the room.

“ Benjiro-San, did you have a question for me?” Yasuki Terumasa asked him turning from his scroll to look at him.

“I...Yes...Yasuki Sensei” Hida Benjiro stammered “It is hard to explain. This does not concern the college, but something more personal. I have been having these dreams, and at first I didn’t think much of them, but they have become more insistent and I feel now that they are important.”

“Tell me of your dreams” Yasuki Terumasa, shifted on now sat facing Hida Benjiro, his attention now focused on him. Hida benjiro started recounting his dreams from the start, the slow build of them and finally the message he believe it was not trying to convey.

After Hida Benjiro finished, Yasuki Terumasa sat thoughtfully for some time. Finally, he smiled “ Benjiro-San, I believe it is time for you to visit the Stone Tower Dojo”
