I have killed the honorless Chuzobo, who tried to kill my grandfather, and then I fulfilled revenge on Yoshiyaki and his son Enjun, two mighty warriors, who killed my grandfather and later, my father after several assasination attempts.
The last to go was supposed to be Soho, who tried to kill both my father and grandfather (and failed) but he was choosen as my Lord and I couldn't just waltz to his home like this. For safety, I've married my daughter Tamano to the house of family which wasn't involved in this whole circle of revenge and plotting, and then I, under cover of the night, snuck into the palace of my Lord.
I've crossed the first floor without raising an alarm, four spear wielders dead in the corners. On the second floor, I've slain a great number of the guards who at last noticed my presence. Then, the third floor came and after slaying zounds of guards, I've scoured the rooms - Soho wasn't there!
It was then when it struck me that he must've been sleeping on the first floor all the time. I've descended and in a tight corridor, a group of spearwielders managed to wound me. With said wound, after slaying all who dared to oppose me, I've stood before my Lord in one of the corner rooms; he was ready for the fight.
The almost ten-minute duel was a flurry of miraculous parries; when one blade was striking at the opponent, the other blade met to stop the blow. This carried until we were even in wounds - 3 cuts on both me and Lord Soho. Revenge was at hand.
Then, by unfortunate keypress, I've made left-side swing, far from the opponent, instead of right-side strike. Of course, he didn't waste the occassion, and with one quick slash from above, my head fell down, detached from my body.
And so ended the tale of my family. But it was a glorious one.
