Matsu Riichin, 1197

1197

Lion Embassy, Toshi Ranbo

Her fist hit the straw striking pad with purpose and power. Her knuckles hurt, but she paid them no mind.

Matsu Riichin's face still hurt, but it paled in comparison to the burning shame she felt. Beaten and then to have someone else finish her fight.

Her fist hit the straw striking pad raising a flurry of dust. Her knuckles were raw, but she paid them no mind.

Her sensei had little time for failure and he had made it very clear that Riichin had failed her school, her family, her clan and her ancestors.

Her fist hit the straw striking pad causing the wooden post it was nailed to to crack slightly. Her knuckles were bleeding but she paid them no mind.

She knew what her duty was, she knew the next steps her life would take after her Gempukku. She would request that her sensei allowed her to join the Death Seekers.

Her fist hit the straw striking pad one last time, snapping the wooden pole in half. Her blood dripped onto the sandy floor of the dojo but she paid it no mind. Her duty was clear and she knew she would regain her honour.
