week 3, monday

[ good morning. they are together and opening a door and i am just going to yeet us into a memory yippee.
The cave that you are in is noisy. It is filled with warriors who are all celebrating with a feast. They are laughing, filling their bellies and are trying to work their way up to intoxication. It is what would normally be a joyous occasion, but these are all people who threaten your father's empire. You are not here to celebrate.

You are dressed as a maidservant. You act the part, refilling drink of anyone who asks and smiling at anyone who tries to catch your eye. Slowly, you are making your way towards your actual goal—the brothers who are the head of this band. It is difficult, as there are other women serving, but you manage to catch their eye.

The older one speaks, "You've traveled far, miss. Join us, drink the night away with me and my brother."

"With pleasure," you reply.

The brothers summon you over, and you sit between them and make conversation with them. You sit through their flirtation, nodding and smiling all the way through.

You eventually decide that it has been enough time. Reaching into your dress, you pull out a small blade and, without much ceremony, pierce it through one of the brothers. The other one, alarmed, quickly gets up and runs away without checking on the fate of his fallen kin. You waste no time and go after him, and it's not difficult to catch up. You yank him by the back of his clothes and pull him into your blade as well.

The warrior, bleeding, speaks. "Do not remove the sword yet. I want to talk to you."

You gaze down at him and nod.

"What is your name?"

"I am the child of the Heavenly Sovereign, Prince Ousu. You rebels who would bring ruin to his Imperial Majesty, face your end."

"You would strike us down?" the man, despite everything, laughs. "Superb! So this is what to expect from the people of Yamato! I shall offer you a new name. From now on, you shall be known as Yamato Takeru."

You listen to him give you a new name, and with a small sigh, you finish slaying him because that is what your father has instructed you to do. You will return and tell your father of the achievement and he will only look at you with disgust before sending you even further away for the next mission. ]
at the end of the memory, saber is just. frowning. okay. ]
