Plot:

Yukikata Xo is among the famed heroes of the land and the most famous hero of the North Village. He prefers to work alone, keep his distance from people, and values his sense of duty. But when his commanding officer, Commander Jence, gives him the option to become a Master, a teacher to the teens of his village, Yukikata begrudgingly takes it. The other option, guarding the King's garden, is torture for any warrior. Commander Jence gives one more order that Yukikata must, without fail, complete: to make sure Meya Zhousan, the rightful heir to the leadership to the North Village, fails in becoming a warrior.

Once Yukikata meets his students he isn't what they expected and visa versa. His students become Taski Vovera, a dedicated pupil with arrogant charm, Taski's twin brother Shen, a sometimes quiet joker, Ame`kara Liu, a woods-girl with a lack of graceful tact, and Meya Zhousan, a small noble girl with unyielding determination. Quickly, Yukikata and his students are thrown into a mission to assassinate an important enemy clan leader. Yukikata is not as hopeful as his commanding officers seem on the success of the mission. Can he train these kids in time? Even so, how can he lead them when for the past ten years all he had to worry about was himself?

Cast:

Yukikata Xo: Born in the icy mountains of Chishiro, he moved to the North Village with his father shortly after his mother's death. From 4 to 15 he lived there only gaining two friends, Samayo, and Aso. He is from the Sneyudi clan that is famous for their white hair, pale skin, and blue eyed look. A famed warrior and assassin, Yukikata is also known as Bindanshi (handsome man) to the regions above Hieca. Liking his solitude and having a severe sense of duty, he isn't the most personable of people. He is 27 years old when the story starts.

Meya Zhousan: Born as the heir to the leadership of the North Village, Meya has many ideals of how she wants to run the village. However she is not the only heir. Her cousin, well loved by her father and the noble leadership, is likely to become the new leader of the village after Meya's father. After refusing to marry her cousin three times, her parents have given up on taking her seriously. Though a part of the Act of Equality, given 15 years ago by her grandfather the King of the land, where it allows females to enter schools of thought and warriorship, Meya often finds herself as the odd one. Nobles despise her for her lack of following tradition and the common people ignore her for she is the daughter of their most hated leader. Growing up she had no friends besides her cousin, and even then he too considered her odd. When the story starts she is 13 years old.

Taski Vovera: Having tied with Meya for the highest score in their preparatory school, he is admired and feared by his peers. He and his brother watched their father's murder when an enemy clan raided their village. From then on Taski has only ever wished to be a warrior and to be loved for it. Most would consider him a jerk, for his arrogance in himself and in his skills, but to those who really know him they consider him ambitious. Of her two sons, some would observe, that he is her favorite. His high expectations for himself often isolates him from other people, however, it doesn't prevent the village girls from swooning. When the story starts he is 13.

Shen Vovera: Unlike his brother, Shen doesn't have as many goals in life. Having been captured by the same enemy clan that killed his father, Shen was tortured and had to see fellow children die in brutal ways. Having survived such savage treatment, his mother notes that he was forever changed. Once a confident child now hides his true self behind his humor. His prankster personality gained his own admirers among the village girls, but beyond flirting he doesn't care for anything ever to be serious. All he wants in life is to be a warrior like his father to which he expects to die at anytime. When the story starts he is 13.

Ame`kara Liu: Raised as a woodsman's daughter, her and her father lived slightly outside the North Village. Motherless, Ame`kara never had any role model when it came to being a traditional girl. In school she was often left out by the girl clicks, however, Ame`kara made herself know the gossip and the ins and outs of "Girl world" in her village. By doing so she used that to flirt with older men when her father would take her with him to pubs. By age 11 Ame`kara regularly drank with her father and his friends. Considered uncouth, rowdy, and a flirt, Ame`kara is what every mother fears for their sons. When the story starts she is 13.

What I am working on at the Moment:

Right now I am in the middle of chapter 5. Once chapter 5 is done I will post a summary about it and what not.

I'm very happy with this chapter so far. Already I have a heart breaking flashback for Yuki and then in the next scene Ame`kara surprises me. She totally calls out Yukikata on his lack of teaching. She tramples on the student/master respect boundary and totally makes him tell her the truth about how he feels being a teacher. Let's just say he satisfies her suspicions.

So far it looks good, but I can see a few areas of sentence structure you need to fix. I love it otherwise.

Yay!!! Wonderful! Thank you! Yeah, when the hands write instead of the brain phrasing often takes a back seat.
