Bokuden swept his hand gently across the surface of the old scroll that laid unrolled on the desk before him, wiping away unknown years of accumulated dust which would otherwise hinder his ability to read its contents. Even with his vision he would need every bit of help he could get to decipher the symbols inscribed on this parchment. The scroll was old, so much so that the parchment its secrets lived on was itself almost dying at the slightest touch. The room was dark, just a small candle illuminating a small area on the surface below, visibility wavering as the shadows danced along with the flickering flame. The dim setting was inconvenient, but necessary to prevent arousing suspicion and alerting others to his presence. The last thing he needed was to be found rummaging through his clan’s archives.
Ever since he was a child he was told to stay clear of this old wing of the Ryuzoji compound for one reason or another. When he was a small child the warnings ranged from hauntings to monsters and as he grew older it simply became an order. Childhood curiosity however, would blossom into adulthood suspicion, prompting Bokuden to take it upon himself to conduct his own investigation. Who could fault his suspicion? This area was supposed to be an archive, and if that was all it was there was no reason for it to be protected and labeled off limits even to Bokuden. Already more than suspicious of the intentions of his father and grandfather Bokuden intended to uncover whatever it was that they wanted to keep even him from seeing. As such, he snuck into the archive wing of the Ryuzoji compound under the cover of the night, using his master key made for all heirs of the main family to undo the nearly unbreakable lock that sealed the massive wooden doors shut for as long as Bokuden could remember.
