Hiroshi Reforged/ Quackingwaxx story:

The Bandits' Plot

Driven by greed and the lust for power, a band of greedy ninja ducks Goro, Shiro and Kaito "The Wolf" sought to control the entire coastline near QuackingWaxx. Among the last pieces of land they needed was a humble farm, owned by Hiroshi and his family.

The farm's strategic location would grant them dominance over the fertile lands and lucrative trade routes. The bandits, led by a cunning leader, used threats and violence to coerce Hiroshi into selling his land. When he refused, valuing his home and heritage, the bandits attacked ruthlessly, killing his family in their desperate quest for control.

Their ambition knew no bounds, fueled by the desire to monopolize the coast and exploit its resources. Their power grew with each acquisition, but their corruption left a trail of blood and sorrow, marking them as a blight upon the land they coveted so fiercely.

Blacksmith Kintaro

Nestled amidst serene bamboo groves, lived a unique blacksmith named Kintaro. But Kintaro wasn't just any blacksmith—he was a duck, blessed with a rare gift passed down through generations of feathered artisans. His enchanted forge was a legacy from his master, who recognized Kintaro's exceptional talent at a young age.

Every evening, as the village fell silent, the forge would come alive with the sound of Kintaro's work. "Dark in the night, the charcoal burns bright, the bellows blow, and the hammer strikes," the villagers would whisper, watching the glow from the forge dance against the night sky.

Kintaro's craft was renowned far and wide, for each blade he forged was not just a weapon but a reflection of its owner's soul. Before cooling each blade, he would inscribe an ancient haiku, believed to capture the essence of the wielder:

*A silent river,  

Flows deep with unseen power,  

Strength in still waters."

Hiroshi´s vengeance

One day, a warrior arrived, seeking a blade unlike any other. He was a quiet man, with eyes that spoke of battles fought and burdens carried. Kintaro listened to the warrior's story and set to work. As sparks flew and the hammer sang, the sword took shape, delicate yet deadly, reflecting the warrior's inner strength and quiet resolve.

When the blade was complete, Kintaro inscribed a haiku that told the warrior's untold story:

*In stillness it waits,  

Reflecting on the quiet storm,  

The blade's silent edge."

The warrior accepted the blade with a bow, knowing that it was not just a weapon, but a testament to his life's journey. As he departed, the villagers marvelled at the wisdom of the blacksmith duck.

Fueled by a desire for justice, Hiroshi took up the sword, vowing to avenge his loved ones. He trained tirelessly, becoming a skilled warrior. Over the years, he hunted down each bandit until none remained.
