.09.restless retrospection and the treacherous tale of the Quincy
...it's the anniversary of that day. My shoulder joint and arm remember this, as they're bleeding profusely from bigsmall cuts that I slashedfrom training. It hurts so much but it's a reminder at least.
It's a painful reminder of why I musn't forget.
And now, I present to you, The History of the Quincy.
The Quincy. No one has heard that name before...their existance has dwindled slowly but surely, and this is their tale.
The Quincy are a long line of talented archers that have had many traits passed down throughout the years - a sense of drama, seriousness, desire for authority, a taste for fish. Generally the Quincy are quiet, reserved, dishonest and unappreciative with themselves and their capabilities. Also, the Quincy rather dorky as well, but this is only the case in recent years. Having been previously revered in archery, Quincy are often endowed with a talent for sports like tennis, boxing and fencing as well, seeing as these sports involve arm strength mostly. And for some unknown reason a birthmark in the shape of a cross is usually somewhere on a Quincy's body.
This race of long-range warriors began about two centuries ago. When archery was a great sport and was abundant as a skill among the samurai, the Quincy were well known throughout all of Japan. They were much like policemen - honorable, law-enforcing and sometimes even gluttons. Except policemen would subdue criminals, and the Quincy would kill. The policemen had no big problems with the Quincy, but eventually the Quincy were becoming more renowned than the policemen because they got bigger, better kills than they did. Eventually the policemen buzzed about a massacre of the Quincy. The police no longer would respect the Quincy, even going as far to kill torture some of them when there was no crime done. This occured after the decline of samurai and the beginning of the 1900s.
The Quincy eventually grew angry at the policemen for killing their kind and they lashed back, killing policemen when they got in the way of their hunts. Eventually, the rivalry grew so bad that the two groups came to a supposed compromise...but in actuality the policemen were planning a long-term massacre. Over the next century the Quincy were purposely eradicated under the cover of natural accidents, but most of the Quincy were eradicated in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The policemen eventually began to stop Quincy killing but traditional policemen carried the job on. Eventually, the Quincy reached the brink of extinction with five families left. Only one of these five families survive today with two members.
And so is the tale of the Quincy, who have struggled to remain in existance to this very day.
