The beginning of a legendary duel

Chapter 1

On a beautiful sunset at Kokura Castle on Kyushu Island, there was the figure of a middle-aged man in a traditional gray and white Japanese kimono and with the classic samurai bun and that figure was kneeling in a room writing poetry with a brush in his hand and after a while, he stopped writing and put the brush on the table.

???: [(sigh), finally finished.] The figure spoke as he lightly massaged his forehead and after a few seconds another figure came towards him quickly and when he arrived he knelt and the figure knelt in front of the table says.

???: [What happened Takeda? What is the reason for such a rush?] Asked Miyamoto with a puzzled expression.

Takeda: [Miyamoto Musashi - Sama, a samurai named Sasaki Kojurō came from Fukui to challenge him in a sword duel to the death. What will your decision be Musashi - Sama?] Takeda replied while looking at Miyamoto Musashi in front of him waiting for an answer and while watching Miyamoto, he realized that Miyamoto put on an intimidating smile that he himself had known him for several years felt intimidated.

Miyamoto: [HAHAHA, he finally came, I was tired of waiting. Takeda tells Sasaki-Dono that the duel will take place in three days on the island of Funajima.] Miyamoto replied to Takeda with his smile still on his face.

Takeda: [I will go immediately to Musashi - Sama.] Takeda replied, still kneeling, and when he finished answering, he bowed to Miyamoto and stood up and walked towards a door when he arrived, he opened and left the room and after walking for a few minutes in a long hallway, Tekeda arrived at the guest room and upon opening opened a door and saw a man kneeling in front of a table with long hair in a bun and he was wearing a beautiful red kimono while he was drinking a bottle of sake and Sasaki saw Tekeda come in and speak.

Sasaki: [So, what was Miyamoto's decision - Dono?] Sasaki asked with an innocent smile on his face.

Takeda: [Kojurō-Sama, Musashi-Sama agreed to his duel, but placed two conditions.]

Sasaki: [Interesting, what were those conditions?]

Takeda: [The duel will take place in three days and the place of the duel will be on the island of Funajima, those were the conditions.]

Sasaki: [Hahaha, fine by me, as long as the duel is over, so please use Miyamoto - Dono, as I will be waiting for him on Funajima Island in three days.]

Takeda: [I will go Kojurō - Sama.] As soon as Takeda replied, Sasaki got up and walked towards the guest's door and opened it and when he opened it, he saw a long corridor and walked towards the exit ...

Takeda arrived at the room in which Miyamoto was and knelt and spoke.

Takeda: [Musashi - Sama, he agreed with your conditions and said that he will be waiting for you on the island of Funajima in three days.

Musashi: [Hahahaha, very well, it's been so long since my blood boils so much, I'm really looking forward to this duel.] Miyamoto spoke with a laugh that would scare the worst demons ...

(Three days later)

On the island Funajima, two legendary men looked at each other smiling.

Miyamoto: [Hahaha, we finally found him, isn't it Kojurō-Dono? Are you excited about the duel?] Miyamoto spoke while looking at the man in front of him.

Sasaki: [Hahaha, really Musashi - Dono, we finally found it and I'm certainly excited about this duel, as soon as I defeat you I will prove my skills to the world.] Sasaki replied with an amused smile on his face.

Miyamoto: [Hahaha, from what I see you're full of confidence, aren't you Kojurō - Dono?]

Sasaki: [Certainly Musashi - Dono, because if I hadn't, I wouldn't be here.] Sasaki responded by putting a serious expression on his face while removing his katana from the sheath found at his waist while standing in his ittoryu style position.

Miyamoto: [You are certainly in a hurry Kojurō-Dono.] Miyamoto commented with a serious expression while removing his two katanas from his sheath found on either side of his waist, remaining in his Nitoryu style position.

Sasaki: [So this is the famous Nitoryu? Finally, I'm going to try Musashi-Dono.]

Miyamoto: [Hahaha, yes, this is my famous Nitoryu. I'm really excited to try out your Tsubame Gaeshi style.]

Sasaki: [Enough talk, it's time for our duel, isn't it Musashi - Dono?]

Miyamoto: [For sure.]
