A story by Shane

“The Princess has been kidnapped, the princess has been kidnapped!   “I want my princess back!” the king screamed, unable to move from all the food he had eaten.  The king yelled and called his best knight Sasuke a skilled fighter in the samurai arts he had semi-long black some-what spiky hair crystal blue eyes and a nice muscle tone physique.  Sasuke carried a samurai sword but never wore armor because it was uncomfortable and heavy.  Sasuke wears a head band and a light type of protective wear.  Sasuke is famous for his many successes in rescuing damsels in distress and for his stealth tactics he can break into or out of anything he is so stealthy.  During Sasuke's free time he likes to train with his friend Misa.  Sasuke's best friend Misa had also mastered the samurai arts, Misa had long shiny black hair and she wore the same protective wear and had identical weapons to Sasuke's weapons.  Sasuke nodded and left the room.  Sasuke gathered some followers to aid him on his journey.  Sasuke's party consisted of eight dwarfs, Sasuke’s two pet hounds, Sasuke's best friend Misa, and two Imperial mages.  In the morning after everyone was prepared they went to the local  pub and had some breakfast the dwarfs really ran up the bill "um after breakfast I need to talk to you guys" Sasuke said to the Dwarfs, "whatever" the dwarf responded.  After breakfast Sasuke was waiting behind the small pub waiting for the dwarfs.  After a few minutes they arrived "yeah what do –hiccup- u want –hiccup- one of the dwarfs said, "ah man…" Sasuke sighed in disappointment "never mind, just go sober up okay" Sasuke replied in utter disgust. After the dwarfs had sobered up the force set out into the vast world outside the castle.  Outside the castle everything is forest terrain there are many small animals and foods such as mushrooms and strawberries but some mushrooms have had some devastating effects on people so we stayed away from those (we also made sure the dwarfs far stayed away).  There are many animal and spiritual beings to such as fairies and small imps.  While walking the force ran into some imps Sasuke and Misa immediately jumped and sliced it to pieces.  While in the forest they also ran into some other creatures a troll to be exact.  The troll jumped with his giant club and smashed one of our dwarfs his head got just smashed in.  Sasuke and Misa tried to get around to him but he kept hacking away, we could not corner him. "crap" Sasuke yelled in excitement and fear of losing one of his companions and screamed a war cry "ahhhh" the troll was about to hit the dwarf again.  Immediately Sasuke jumped in front and took the pain.  Misa jumped in the troll and struck her sword through its back.  The troll died and Sasuke and the dwarf were to hurt to move but we managed to crawl to a tree to sit us up.  "thanks for that" the dwarf said to Sasuke, "anytime I would jump in front of any companion in my force even if it would cost me my life" Sasuke replied, "I should have been killed I haven't helped this force all I do is drink and start fights I'm no good for anything" the dwarf said sadly, "well like I said I would jump in front of anyone on my force even if he was a stupid drunk" Sasuke said, "thanks it really means a lot" "yeah"  The next day everyone woke up and Misa told Sasuke that she examined his wound while he was sleeping and she said it would take about three days to heal. Sasuke nodded and got the men ready to start heading out again.  After a few hours of walking one of the dwarfs started to complain, “I need a drink!” “Yeah” another dwarf shouted in agreement, “Let’s hit the nearest pub” the dwarf demanded so they headed off without hearing Sasuke’s suggestion.  So the force had no choice but to go along with it. On the way Sasuke's back started to pain him "ah" Sasuke shrieked, "what" one of the mages asked, "its nothing carry on" Sasuke replied.

  While looking for a pub we ran into some imps on the way and had a little trouble dealing with the little pests due to Sasuke's back. Finally we found a sign in the forest with a small map on it that led us to a pub.  With the help of the map we made it to an inn called the Drunken Dragon and had a couple of drinks.  While Sasuke was talking Misa realized that his body was reacting from the pain in his back and bought a place to sleep for the night knowing Sasuke would not be able to carry on.  One of the dwarfs, the one Sasuke saved decided to pick a fight with a necromancer threatening to kill him because he was to close to me (he just happened to be sitting at the table next to us and all the dwarfs swarmed and wiped the necromancer out, “Yeah” the dwarfs shouted as they bashed the necromancer's head in. While stripping the necromancer of his belongings the Dwarfs found a slip of paper with an order to kidnap the princess and the dwarf handed it to Sasuke, he looked at it and saw the order to kidnap her and a small map to the enemy’s hidden base. “Go to bed” Sasuke shouted, and everyone left the room.  Misa decided to stay and find out what Sasuke was doing.  Misa looked over his shoulder and saw the slip. "Do you know where to go now"? Misa asked, "Yes, and there is a secret passage into the castle, take a look at these blue prints" Sasuke said, and handed Misa the blue prints.  Misa grabbed the blue prints and studied them.  "Hmmm, oh! This is were the princess is being held, in this chamber" Misa said, feeling she accomplished something, "yes but there seems to be something strange do you really think they would put her in such a nice room" Sasuke asked, "Well she is a princess" Misa quickly replied, "but she's also a hostage" Sasuke said seriously, "I don’t know we will go and see what happens" Sasuke said, "ok good-night" Misa said and walked off to her room "night" Sasuke quickly replied and went to his room to.  In the morning the dwarfs were gone, it wasn’t much of a rescue force “Forget the Dwarfs” one of the mages said “There just stupid drunkards who only dedicate their lives to drinking and fighting” The hounds snapped in disagreement, the mage cursed at the hounds in another language we couldn’t understand.  Misa did not know what to think (she was to busy trying to find out what the mage had said) "they probably went to cause more trouble and got the crap beat out of them" the mage said, Misa still confused just ignored what was going on.  The hounds barked again and the mage snapped at them "he is speaking in some sort of demonic language" Misa whispered to me.  The hounds calmed down and the mage nodded to me telling me he was sure what he said had happened.  In the morning we left the inn and paid our respects to the owner for damaging the table from that incident yesterday with the necromancer and the dwarfs. "Thank you" the owner called out, "now problem" Sasuke said and gave the owner a tip before the force left.  After a few hours we had almost passed the border to the land of the dead were the princess had been taken according to the small map we acquired.  At the border two skeleton men plated in heavy armor outfitted with heavy war axes and claymores were guarding it.  Our team took a step toward the skeletons and sprung a trap, a flaming needle shot out and struck one of our mages and killed him instantly "What the He…"Sasuke paused frightened by the presence of a lich, a queen of the undead, appeared behind Sasuke and Misa. The lich whispered something demonic in her ear, she was knocked cold. No, she was dead. "Nooooooooooo" Sasuke screamed and weeped for his lost companion and best friend,  Sasuke was paralyzed by fear to frightened to move, knowing death was right behind him at, any second, any time, it was over the mission failed and his life gone.  The hounds jumped and ripped the lich into pieces before she could finish the spell being whispered into Sasuke's ear.  What was left of the team carried on as fast as we could, we sped right through the skeletal guards but the hounds stayed behind to hold the guards the force snuck into the wine cellar of the castle and easily found were the princess was being held according to the small map.  But there was a problem the princess wasn’t there "she must have escaped or worse she coul…" the mage said interrupted "don’t say that!" Sasuke said and shook his hand motioning to go look for her outside.  Without any more conversation they hastily chased through the castle halls and out the wine cellar but met a necromancer on the way, who wore identical clothing as the one the dwarfs met "blast" Sasuke screamed worried that the force would not find the princess in time.  "What are we to do" one of the mages asked, "we will stay" the other mage said and motioned for the other mage to stay with and help "ah" Sasuke shrieked from the pain in his back "GO!" the mage said and Sasuke headed toward the border.  While heading for the border Sasuke was to overwhelmed by emotion, scared about his companions, the princess if she were safe and the pain in his back, and mostly the death of his best friend Misa they had been through so much together but it was to late to cry and give up now he Sasuke to carry on.  Sasuke made it to the border and saw the princess Sakura scared from the sight of blood staring into what was left of the hounds and the wounded skeleton. Sakura was a young woman with insane beauty Sakura had black, long, soft looking hair and pretty hazel eyes she looked way better then any other damsel Sasuke had seen Sasuke thought Sakura would have looked way different from how fat her father was for a moment Sasuke was blinded by Sakura's beauty but was woken by the sight of Misa dead body behind Sakura's pretty face. Sasuke swung his sword and Sasuke knocked of the head of what was left of the skeletal beings so angry because of Sasuke's tremendous loss.  Sasuke grabbed the princesses pretty, hand it was soft like clouds and I said softly to her "Let's get you home" Sasuke pulled Sakura of the ground and she started to weep, Sakura wrapped her arms around Sasuke and just cried.  A few minutes later Sasuke calmed Sakura down a little and wiped her tears Sakura was ready to leave the wretched place.  After Sasuke had got Sakura to her feet Sasuke made an attempt to pick up Misa's body and through it over his shoulder. After a long journey Sasuke, Sakura, and Misa's remains made it to the Drunken Dragon Inn and entered "oh it's you" the owner said surprised, "oof" Sasuke shrieked as he fell to the ground exhausted by the pain in his back and by Misa's remains being so heavy he fell over without another word.  Sasuke woke up the next morning inside the Inn surrounded by the eight dwarfs, one mage, and the pretty princess Sakura "hey how you been" one of the dwarfs asked happily, "uh…where've you been!?" Sasuke replied "well we thought we'd head out early and kill all of there reinforcements so you would not have to worry about them, and after that we let out princess Sakura for you" one of the dwarfs said, "huh ha ha ha ha ha ha oh" Sasuke felt so relived at the fact the force was so thoughtful. "uh" Sasuke tried to get up and felt relieved there was no back pain.  Sasuke got up and went outside for a breath of fresh air and he couldn't believe his eyes. A grave stone recently dug with flowers all over and other valuable items. "Misa Amane" it read on the gravestone "a very just woman who risked her life for the life of princess Sakura she will be forever remembered as a saint in our posterity" Sasuke wept as he stared upon the gravestone and paid his respects to the now amazing saint Misa Amane.  The next morning the force left for the castle it took the force about three hours to get back to the castle from the Drunken Dragon Inn.  When we came back with princess Sakura everyone in the castle was screaming and cheering for the forces success.  When we made it to the grand hall Sakura's tiny legs ran as fast as she could carry them to her father and grasped him "Daddy I'm so glad to be back" Sakura’s father turned his fat body as best he could and responded "I'm glad your home sweetie". After a few minutes of weeping Sakura went up to her room.  "I want you to marry my daughter" the king told Sasuke, "You saved her from certain death and I thank you" "you must marry her and treat her good, I give you my blessing.  "Very well I will treat her well and keep her safe always she will be a great Queen" Sasuke said "and you will be a great king" the king responded.  Sasuke left the great hall and into the knights guild to prepare for the wedding.  After a few days of healing he asked Sakura to have dinner at the local pub “will you come with me to the local pub for a nice dinner Sasuke asked, “Sure” Sakura responded, and at dusk they headed to dinner. While at the pub Sasuke ordered her a royal meal and asked “Sakura, will you marry me?” “Yes” princess Sakura quickly responded as if she were expecting Sasuke to ask her.  One month later Sakura and Sasuke were bonded forever with the words “I do” Sasuke and Sakura were to be the new King and Queen of Castle Harvest Moon and they ruled for over sixty years.  After Sasuke and Sakura had retired from their rule and their child Misa (named after the Saint Misa Amane) became princess. Sakura died of a deadly disease she caught a few years back while picking healing herbs in the forest.  Sasuke died of old age a year later, but altogether Sakura and Sasuke lived a happy ever after…
