The Cursed Swordsmen chap.1

this was and age of war among the many clans of ninja, many fought for power, few fought for peace. this is a tale of those few.
"jiraki!" i open my eyes to see my long time friend daichi at the doorway. "hey daichi what brings you here so early, i was hoping for some sleep for once"i say with a chuckle. "c'mon the ceremony is about to start!". i had almost forgotten about the day of fallen, i get to place the blade as father honors the dead of our clan. "one moment, i have to eat bre.." "eat afterwords" he interrupts. we then arrive to the temple of the takagaru, i can already see father preparing. the crowd splits the allow me through and i take my place by the shrine. father begins to honor our fallen comrades, i never truly got why we honor them every year. "now my son, place the blade of sorrow in its resting place." i begin to set the blade in the shrine, when i hear a alarming sound, i turn and its a woman screaming, she has been stabbed. i cant move, im petrified by fear, i can see my father and other clan members fighting the attackers off. but who would do this? why am i so afraid?
its the blood, the screams, i just cant handle all the screams. one of them is approaching me he's gunna kill me if i dont do something but i cant move. he's getting closer to me, blood is all over his face and katana. i need to move, why cant i move! a blade then pierces his chest. "get up jiraki! we have no time for you to be scared" its my father trying to strengthen me, i then draw the blade and ready myself. i feel i can do this, that it will be all ok. i run out of the temple and see the town ablaze, i continue forward and a ninja rushes me, i raise my blade and block his attack and then swing. the man goes limp, i notice my hit landed in his neck, the body falls on me, i then push it off. i look and see the attacking ninja retreating, we won! i walk to the temple to see father, i look around and i see only bodies, i start to panic. "father! father answer me!!" i hear no answer, i look around trying to find him. then i see him, lying on the ground in a pool of blood. a tear falls from my eye as i run to him, begging him to wake up, i start to shake him but still i get no reply. the tears fall from my eyes onto him, i bury my head into his chest, unable to accept that my father is dead.
