The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I have been on VR most of the day today and now that it is dark out i finally decided to go into my backyard and practice with my bokken. I was happy for the weather because it made me enjoy practicing even more.( it is 28 degrees outside and snowing) As soon as i go outside i go through my usual warm ups. Attack combinations, strikes and blocks even some Ieido (quick draw technique).



Anyway i am outside my home in my yard practicing and after awhile i decided to stop and meditate outside. So i sit down in a area i cleared on the grass and begin to do so. After a few moments iam not exactly sure how long i open my eyes and see that iam not in my yard anymore. I stand up and get a feeling iam being watched so i turn to see a figure behind me. I ask what it wants and the thing says nothing,but raising a sword from within itself. I know what kind of sword it is by looking at it, its a Katana. It then takes a basic stance and just stands thier looking at my from what i can tell. So i look back at what i assume to be its face, but see only blackness. I tell it that i do not wish to fight.



Then it attacks, three simple strikes. Right, left then one down the middle. Its easy to read so i move out of the way of the first one, it cuts me on my arm on the second and i move in time to avoid the third. That cut is not to deep but it burns as though the blade was on fire. I back up a few steps and my foot hits my bokken. Now i know that a wooden weapon againist a blade that cuts like its on fire will more then likely not work in my favor but what choice do i have. So i take up a stance and place the bokken at my hip and draw if from my side as i would a real blade, but instead of it just being wood i feel a blade unsheathing from it and lo and behold that handle of the bokken is in my hand along with a blade as oppose to the wood i was expecting. The rest of the wooden part is sitting on my hip as a sheath would. I didn't get time to think about it much because as soon as i realized that i had a actual blade in my hands that thing attacks again only faster then before. Once again using the same basic 3 strikes to start then going into more complex moves. We clash steal back and forth, the things making a few more cuts. Despite my best efforts i can't even scratch it, now i am not master swordsman yet but i should have been able to make some mark, but this thing was relentless. After a considerable amount of time had passes i was begining to tire. It must have seen this for it came in again with a fresh assualt. This time i waited for the first 3 strikes and after he finished the first i lunged in at its chest before it could begin the next attack. It moved out of the way and lunged back at me. I could swear i was out of range of his blade but i felt it hit my chest and slide in with ease. I am in agony over the pain, but i see oppurtunity, it may kill me but i have one last strike left in my and his blade isn't moveing anytime soon. So i grab its hands and its face tilts as if puzzled, then tries to move when it realizes what i am about to do. I push the blade in deeper into myself bring it closer and ensuring it can't avoid me bring my sword across in a effort to decapitate it. I bring my arm back and come across with all my strength that i can call upon. My aim is true and i see the black head of the thing seperate. It lets go of the blade and falls over as do i. I land on my knees sword still deep in my chest. Just before i close my eyes for the last time i hear this insane laughter and before i can think i hear no more.



Then i wake up in my yard still sitting in the position i was in when i started meditating, but i feel incredibly weak. I am sitting at my computer now typing this because i have a feeling i am going to pass out soon and i don't want to forget this. I am going to try to stay awake as long as i can though so i can try and figure out what it was. Maybe something that wished me ill perhaps even my own hidden self i do not know i need time to think on this. Any thoughts or ideas or even responses on this are welcome.



Till next time,
