Cinderella

Training, Holy Penitent, Kenshi

Ever since my family was murdered 10 years ago, I have been living with the Black Cross Association. They took me in 10 years ago, while i was begging on the streets.. They are against the Royal family and work to protect all those who have been mistreated and abused by the King and his men. I, Akira Halle, had sworn to my Saya and my parents that i would avenge their death, I have promised to help the Black Cross and train to be a knight.

Swords, armors, guns, and every weapon! I can use them all! I have been trained to fight, trained to kill, trained to protect! My special weapon is the scythe: HOLY PENITENT is my scythe. Wearing black clothes, covering my face so that i'm not recognized, wrapping my long black hair and hiding the fact that i'm a girl make me stronger than any knight!! I wear a necklace having a black cross as sign of the clan, and my mother's white silver ring has always been on my Index finger. It reminds me of my promise, of my duty, of my revenge..

One day i was training in the woods and suddenly there was a thud behind me. I turned around but saw nothing. I continued to practice my martial art then i felt something approaching at full speed behind! It was a horse! A black and very dark horse, it had a dark aura around it: this horse had gone wild and would stomp and run over anything on its path! I sensed danger and all the other Black Cross members shouted "We should get out of here!!.. This horse is mad!! Lets go!!"
But i stared into its eyes and saw hatred, urge to kill, sadness! This horse was just like me! Everyone silenced when the Leader Mr Black came (no one knows about Mr Black, he was the one who took me in and trained me). I looked at Mr Black, he said "AKIRA. HANDLE THIS HORSE."
Everyone gasped and silently stepped behind. I knew this was the time to prove myself and my abilities and make Mr Black not regret having trained me personally. Without hesitating I moved forward.. The horse ran towards me at full speed. I threw myself to my left to avoid being hit by the horse! Then it turned and returned faster.. I grabbed its crest when i came closer and holding myself to its flank i mounted the wild horse! I stopped it by pulling at the crest, the horse struggled to throw me off but i resisted and finally it stopped struggling after a while. I got a bridle from Mr Black and put it on the tamed horse.
The beautiful, black horse was mine and a proof of how i succeeded in making myself a Black Cross member. I was a true knight and i named the black horse Kenshi (Japanese word for sword saint).
