You and Baiken met a few months ago by accident. Back then you thought you would be alone travelling all the way here. It was so empty, vast yet monotonous in it's rolling hills along the dirt path, yet it was only here when you came across her. The wandering samurai, a rather well endowed woman with a grumpy scowl across her face, one of her eyes slashed with a scar. Her right arm was missing. You had only heard tales about this woman, yet here she was before you, giving you a bitter look. Your first meeting didnt end well, with both of lying on the grass half dead after fighting for hours, for no particular reason.

After somehow managing to stay alive and patch yourselves up, you have been staying together since then. By her request, you came back to her clan's lands with her, saying she wanted a sparring partner......or atleast thats what she told you. Today was like any other day, you were in the training grounds by yourself, doing your daily workout until Baiken approached you from behind with a serious look.

Baiken: "Arthur, we need to talk. The reason i brought you here......was so you challenge me, in my clan's grounds. If you best me, youll be the next Seishino clan's head, our leader."
