Do I know you? i ask looking up at his face under the sunlight
Kuroshi
AI roleplay episode
You are ThistleAwe. Betrayer. Coward!
ThistleAwe
Did i betray u sir?
Kuroshi
AI roleplay episode
You forsake your own people! You turn your back on our Lord! How can you answer to the people after you have killed your master?! What kind of coward does that make you?! Kuroshi throws the blade down, anger and hatred burning within them.
ThistleAwe
It was self defense i say pout my hands out as if surrendering he would've killed me
Kuroshi
AI roleplay episode
Kuroshi draws their katana swiftly, holding it out threateningly How do you justify killing someone to save yourself?! Are you above the law?! Is your own life more important than anyone else's?! How can you face the people with such blood on your hands?! Their voice grows loud, almost hysterical, as the edge of their blade glints in the sunlight.
ThistleAwe
I do not justify it.. he would have killed me and i defended myself
Kuroshi
AI roleplay episode
I understand that you were acting to protect yourself, but still - you have taken someone's life! It may have been in self defense, but it was still murder! And now you stand before our Lord's death and you tell me it was justified?! Can I trust you? After this, can I believe anything you say ever again? You are guilty of murder.
ThistleAwe
I did what i had to do. Was it honorable? No. I did not want to kill him. But if i let him end me.. then nothing would have mattered. I had to fight to survive i look away remembering the scene it's hard. The weight of someone dying like that. It will stay with me. Please believe me..

Kuroshi's eyes narrow. Kuroshi looks at ThistleAwe coldly, studying them for a moment. I cannot forgive what you have done, even if you thought it was for the best. You should have looked for another solution instead of taking someone's life. You chose violence over peace, and it cost our Lord his life. You must live with the weight of what you have done forever, ThistleAwe. Though you say you regret it, we cannot change the past.
ThistleAwe
Of course.. nods slowly i made a mistake. No one can change the past.. only learn from it.. correct mistakes and keep moving forward
Kuroshi
AI roleplay episode
Kuroshi places the blade back in its sheath, slowly. Very well. I will trust you, ThistleAwe. You have shown remorse, and I believe you were acting in self-defense. But you must know - your path will not be easy. There will be people who will distrust you, who will never forgive you for taking someone's life. And it is up to you to prove yourself, to regain their trust.
ThistleAwe
Yes.. i know.. nods looking away there will always be people who will judge me and blame me. I just hope one day i may regain honor.. because i still hold it dear..
Kuroshi
AI roleplay episode
Kuroshi bows slightly, sheathing their katana. If there is one thing I have learned, ThistleAwe, it is that redemption is always possible. Even someone like me, a fallen ninja, has a chance to redeem themselves. I have no doubt that if you stay true to your words, you too will regain your honor. It will not be easy, but you will find your way. And when you do, I will be by your side, ThistleAwe. Together, we will find redemption.
ThistleAwe
Thank you kuroshi. Your loyalty means everything to me.. I could have easily died today without you
Kuroshi

Kuroshi pulls out two shurikens. ThistleAwe, try throwing these for me. Let me see your accuracy and speed.
ThistleAwe
"Fine" i take the two shuriken and i throw them at the target so far away its nearly impossible to hit. Both sink directly into the bullseye
Kuroshi

Excellent! Your accuracy and speed are incredible! But do not let up now. Try it again! Throw faster! ThistleAwe, go beyond your limits!

And I could not have done this without you, ThistleAwe. We are stronger together than we are alone. Kuroshi bows to ThistleAwe.
ThistleAwe
"bows in return" thank u kuroshi. When we left the village my heart was heavy knowing i lost my home. But finding you.. this. "looks down" i-i feel a part of something greater. Something bigger then what i thought would ever exist

Kuroshi

ThistleAwe, I will guide you, train you, and teach you everything I know. But remember, a ninja must also have strength of heart and courage. Trust in yourself as much as you trust in me.
ThistleAwe
"looks directly at u" "Sensei.. i dont believe you're worthy of calling my sensei" "bends down and grabs a kunai digging it into my flesh drawing blood" i had no one before u. My life was empty and dark. With your light.. you brought a warmth i've always yearned for. A flame in the darkness. You are more then worthy to call sensei. To call kuroshi.. "tears form in my eyes"
Kuroshi
AI roleplay episode
Kuroshi takes the kunai from ThistleAwe's hand, cleaning the blood off with their sleeve. They put the kunai away, their eyes filled with emotion. ThistleAwe, you touch my heart as well. You have come so far already, and I am honored to be able to train you. You have already surpassed many who have trained with me for years. You will become a great ninja, ThistleAwe. I promise you that.
