Yoshiro, the Silencer

Lore A man must have a dream, if he is to strive in this world. Such it was for Yoshiro, until a fateful decision turned his hopes in on themselves. Nothing will stop him from achieving that dream. Not. One. Thing.

Yoshiro lived in a small village in Ionia. This village held the secrets of the wind, and held in a sacred place a Wind Blade. It was Yoshiro’s sole desire in life to become the blade’s wielder, and to forge a legacy for himself with it. Nothing else in life mattered to the boy, and so he spent his years training. After the passing of each year, near the spring solstice, Yoshiro would ask the Elders if he may be permitted to touch the sword, and each year, the Elders turned him away. He accepted this with grace and humility, for he trusted the Elders at their word, and he would know he had become great enough when they finally answered his request.

Until another boy was born. At first, Yoshiro thought no more of it than a cause for celebration in his village. Yet the years wore on, and the Elders continued denying the only thing in this life that mattered to Yoshiro. Before long, the sword was passed to another, and it wasn’t Yoshiro. It had been the boy, a boy named Yasuo.

Rage filled Yoshiro’s thoughts and dreams. But he needed time. The boy was prideful, and arrogant. A mistake would be made, and then Yoshiro would strike. He would ruin the boy, destroy his life and happiness, as he had done to Yoshiro. Vengeance came in the guise of a Noxian invasion, and when Yasuo abandoned his post as a bodyguard, Yoshiro struck. Yoshiro brought his sword down on the Elders that had so longed denied him what was rightfully his. He let out his pain and anguish in that terrible blow. Satisfaction stirred in the man’s bones, but his revenge was not yet complete.

When Yasuo returned from battle, Yoshiro was the first to call him betrayer, the first to point the finger of blame at the soldier who abandoned his post. Vengeance was at hand! But Yasuo would not take this accusation, and cut his way free. He slew the guards who held him and made his escape, and took the sword with him! Now, Yoshiro chases Yasuo through the world. Seeking the sword that should, by right, be his!
