How does one fit into a family they do not know? The truth is, from the start of it - you don't. You need to find yourself and your family. I spent many Hyuls looking for clues or whereabouts of my familys' history or anything that can tie me in with knowledge about them. All I had was my last name, Samurakami and an odd looking scar upon the sole of my left foot. At first, I didn't even know what this meant or to find about findng the meaning of it. One day while I was meditating in the dojong, I gave deep contemplation to the name Samurakami.. and I vaguely remembered someone telling me its meaning. After much hard thought and concentration, I clearly remembered the words "village above" coming from a strangers mouth.

Village above? What in the world could have that even meant? I was still at a loss. How could the village above and the scar on the bottom of my foot have any correlation to something that makes remote sense?

At a loss, I became frustrated. I put in the back of my mind for awhile, hoping that I would forget it. During this time, I came in contact with a stranger who soon became my friend. We had an unexplainable bond to each other, not of the romantic type I assure you. Rather, there was an understanding about the lack of familiarity in her eyes, the shape of her face, the tone of her voice and the unquestionable rank of her morals. Our bond grew stronger every passing day. One day I came to tell her about the story of my family when to my surprise she also had not known hers. At the time, I thought this had to have been coincidence. Regardless, it brought forth a rejuvenated approach to finding more of my family.

I took travel to all corners of the kingdom and collected much information. It was during this time when I came to understand the meaning of our last name Samurakami, the village above. I made it my mission to find my family members and attempt to find all of my family members.

The history with my family members I cannot say for sure as I have not found all of them yet, and some I will not find in this life time but the next.. in a village above, the heavens perhaps.

Upon my discovery of the most recent family member, this places me as the oldest (by a day) on my family tree.
