"These ponies needed something to believe in, and while you despised the idea of being a hero, you have no clue how many lives you have and will affect as thiers..."

-Hakumei

Keniji Kaze has set his sights on slaying the Empress of Eqyoto in response for her murdering his wife and child. Along the way, he meets a strange monk by the name of Hakumei, who travels along side Keniji, recording and publicizing his adventure for the Province of Eqyoto and Empress Celestia to witness. While Keniji plans on simple revenge, Hakumei envisions a greater purpose for Keniji's mission, often exploiting Keniji's physical prowess and swordsmanship against the samurai's will.
