Yogi Matsuda , Assassin of the Silent Rain

Yogi Matsuda, Assassin of the Silent Rain, and bearer of the Demon Tattoo

Crouching in the brush of a great willow, Matsuda takes aim as swift rain falls in sheets across the sky. His bow bends like effortlessly like the flow of a stream, his sights set on the center of a great procession of hobgoblins as they celebrate the coronation of a new warlord. The warlord suspects nothing, hearing only the gentle breeze and the sway of the willows around him. Yet as the calm of the air washes over the precession, silencing the hobgoblins as they look up towards the blinding rain. An arrow silently passes through the night breeze and finds the neck of the warlord, who now chokes on the blood spewing from his throat and mouth. For a moment the silence persist as disbelief takes hold of the Hobgoblins. However quickly it is replaced by furious rage as the Hobgoblins scream in grief and fury, rallying their weapons as they search for the assassin. Yogi then passes from tree to tree, his hay cloak and hat concealing him well. However one Hobgoblin spots him in the trees and commands arrows to be fired upon him. Arrows fly past the young adventurer but he is not caught, like shooting through air he dodges and ducks through the trees above, careful to never rest a moment, or risk an arrow finding his side. Finally he descends upon his attackers as he lands on the back of an enemies horse and escapes through the trees. The goblins give chase, but soon their war cries are drowned out by the wind and rain and the Hobgoblins fallback, knowing they will never catch him. Yogi, as he passes a creek, pauses to see his reflection in the gleaming water. Although it is not Yogi that stairs back, but a demon. The Horse stamps out the reflection and it disappears, but the young Matsuda knows it hasn't quelled the demon. For it is in his blood the demon infects him still, as it will until he dies from the infection. Oh to be of the Silent rain, the warrior of woe, the cursed bow. Oh to be a monster, Human.
