Ronin's blog: "Ronin"

For those whom I care about I willing accept their burden of pain. For those who do not know me know that I will not suffer ignorance. For those who have done true wrong know that only you can accept the blame and maybe, just maybe bear the shame. Acceptance does not come easily for you are eternally alone and with the passing of time even you will forget your birth given name.

A creeping shadow over the vast land enemy of the empire defender of the weak warrior of honour he walks always alone. he draws his blade for none and sheathes when he pleases for he is ronin and none control him. His sword thirsts for the blood of the wicked It hungers for the flesh of the twisted And plunges deep into the black hearts of men overcome with greed. Once a noble samurai now lordless and solitary Betrayed by a close friend cast out by his family Walking the lands of the emerald empire He is ronin and none control him.

A group of samurai who were left leaderless (became ronin) after their master was forced to commit seppuku (ritual suicide) for assaulting a court official named Kira Yoshinaka. The ronin avenged their master's honor after patiently waiting and planning for over a year to kill Kira. Early in the morning of December 14 1702, in a driving wind during a heavy fall of snow, Ōishi and the ronin attacked Kira Yoshinaka's mansion in Edo. According to a carefully laid-out plan, they split up into two groups and attacked, armed with swords and bows. A drum would sound the simultaneous attack, and a whistle would signal that Kira was dead. A few days following this event 46 Ronin handed themselves in. As expected, the ronin were sentenced to death. The Shogun ordered them to honorably commit seppuku (ritual suicide), instead of having them executed as criminals. The forty-six ronin did so on February 4, 1703.
