[017] - Dictated

That was... incredible.

It's almost hard to understand most of the thoughts I had in that older body. I just know I could see. Not in the normal sense, man, it was like... like... I'm not even sure how I should describe it. I was so aware, everything was so clear to me. I knew what the true Way was deep down into the core of my heart!

Now it's fuzzy. I can remember what I said and did, just... I don't understand it all, and my thoughts from then are totally clouded.

But this means that the path I have chosen now, that of the sword of life, is the right one! Now I know to stay true to it, even if I'm not sure of how it works yet. I will achieve full, unmatched mastery of the way of the sword.

Guess being here was good for something at least, heh!

Of course, now I gotta wonder what this place could do to me next. I mean, made me older, could make me younger as well like it did to Kojiro. Suppose there's no limit, really, is there?

You always talk so much, Musashi. What's the point in talking? You defeated me... Hm. How did it feel? Were you excited? It's strange to think back to it. It wasn't so bad, having the tip of your blade pointed at me. Actually... It was exciting in its own way.

What do you think it'd feel like, to cut me down?

((OOC: Errr... Bell. Why are you making him younger all the time? I think we agreed on 24, since you didn't like the canon-age of 29. XD))

Exciting. You consider that exciting... what is wrong with you, exactly?

...you know what? I think it's something I'm not going to think about. Why would I want to?

[ooc: That would just be me making a mistake, wtf. But I edited it. ^_^;;]

Wrong? Nothing is wrong. Don't you feel any excitement in battle at all?

Why would you want what?

[sword-of-life.livejournal.com]

Of course I do, but 'exciting' to have a blade pointed at my throat? No. Not at all. I don't intend to be defeated, or die.

Think about what it'd feel like to cut you down.

Then, why do you fight, if you're afraid? That doesn't sound like you, Musashi.

Why not? Don't you aim at defeating me?

[sword-of-life.livejournal.com]

I'm not afraid. I just don't want to die, or be defeated, and I won't be.

I don't need to kill you to defeat you, Kojiro.
