65 chapter 65

Londo begun to dream of himself all grown and in samurai armor. He was wearing a bright red armor and with a large sword. He was walking around the village looking for anything out of the ordinary.

It did not take him long to find some trouble.

Several bandits came out of a nearby alley and surround Londo entirely. The bandits

had all sorts of different weapon types.

One bandit charges at Londo with a small sword but Londo pulls out his sword and slashes the foe in his chest. The bandit falls to the ground dead.

Another foe comes at Londo with a spike ball and chain ,but he cuts the chain apart. The ball pierces the ground. He charges at the foe when he hears his name being called.

"Londo! Londo! Londo! Wake up Londo!"

The young boy awoke angry when he saw that his mother had woke him up.

Londo yelled,"Mother, you messed up my cool dream of me being a samurai and fighting all sorts of bad guys! I was all grown up and covered in armor and I did not get to finish the dream. How could you do it?"

Lascha spoke,"Quit be so fussy mister or you will go without supper!"

Londo stop his fit because his belly was starting to rumble out of hunger.

Lascha continued," You are not going to be a samurai when you grow up since I will not allow my only child to be in such of a dangerous job! You are my baby!"

Londo shook his head out of anger and said,"I will the best samurai ever! That is all that I want to be!"

Lascha went back to check the fire in the kitchen so that the food would not be burned. Londo's mother knew that her son was strong willed and it would do her no good to press the topic further.

Londo went out to the front to call his father to stop working and come to eat. But the father was not there as he was earlier in the day and all the crops that they picked today were all gone.

Londo ran back in and said what he seen. This did not surprise the mother since Lort often sold crops to the nearby villages.

A couple hours goes by and Lort had still not come home yet.

Londo spoke,"Can I get some supper? I am so hungry!"

Lascha fed the boy his diner and put him to bed.

Londo was fast asleep when his mother finally broke down and eat her diner.

Lascha was wondering,"Dear, where you are at? Has something happened to you?"

Suddenly someone came rushing in the door and Lascha rushed to the door with a butcher knife to stop any would be intruder.

Before she could strike she saw that it was her husband Lort and he was panting while out of breath.

Lascha spoke,"Lort, where have you been all this time? I was worried about you?

Lort was speechless at first and could not respond to his wife.

Lascha spoke,"Dear, why don't you not eat since I know that it is late and you have to be

hungry. You could tell me what happened after that."

#

Lort ate his diner and he regained his composure.

The husband spoke,"Mother stop cleaning up the kitchen and sit down at the table. I do not want you to faint."

Lascha did as she asked and sit at the opposing side of the small kitchen table. She held her

husband's hand as a means of comforting of him of any potential trauma.

Lort spoke," A messenger came to me and told me that the Shogun wanted to come with all my crops that I had at had."

Lascha put her free hand as she gasped out of surprise. She did not want to wake up the sleeping Londo.

Lascha spoke,"The shogun wanted to see all our crops, what an honor."

Lort spoke," That was not all, since he saw me and the crops personally."

Lascha spoke,"What! Why would the farmers needed to be seen the ever busy Shogun?"

Lort shook his back and forward in agreement.

Lort spoke,"I did not know ether. But I could refuse such a request and I went to the castle with the messenger. The castle was beyond description and I felt so out of place."

Lascha,"What happened when you got there?"

Lort shuddered and begin

to continue,"I was led into the throne room with the all the crops, that could be carried by the messenger and I. We set down all of the crops and knelt before the Shogun. Then something strange occurred."

Lascha spoke,"What was it?"

Lort gulped,"He said that I bringing the crops was a secondary reason for my coming to see him."

Lascha looked at her husband with fear.

Lort spoke,"I was afraid as well when he said that. He said that the real reason for he wanting see me is that he wanted to want Londo of his many retainers!"

Lascha fainted and fell face first unto the table.

The young boy, Londo was eating diner with his parents, Lort and Lascha. His father Lort was all excited from being able to visit the Shogun of the village and the nearby area.

Lort spoke,"The shogun had eaten some of our crops and loved them. He wanted some more of our crops and give us a contract for our crops. Also, he wants to train Londo personally as a samurai.

Londo spoke,"Yeah! I get to be a samurai!"

Lascha did not take part in the rejoicing but she fainted unto the short dining room table. The family ate while siting on the floor mats.

Londo and Lort jumped to their feet and ran to the faint woman. Lort check his wife and found the wife and mother was alright. Lascha was just been startled.
