Story Epilogue
''Hibiki stood among the flitting cherry blossom petals. The clouds suddenly broke, and a soft light illuminated the area. Remembering Shizuka Gozen enveloped in light and smiling warmly, she finally began to relax. "I think I know why I came here: to meet her." Hibiki closed her eyes, and felt the warm embrace of the swirling petals. When she opened her eyes again, she was in the cabin she used to shelter from the rain. As she stood, ready to resume her journey, a cherry blossom fell gently from her shoulder. Hibiki took the delicate petal in her hand, and made her way to her father's grave. In front of the grave, she pressed her hands together, and thought about her journey. She had faced many warriors. Each fight she fought with her father's words in her heart. "The sword was made to kill. However, it can also save those who suffer." Hibiki lay the pearl-colored cherry blossom petal before her father's grave, and left. It was time to discover the world, with a trusty ally by her side.''

Story Epilogue
''Hibiki stood among the flitting cherry blossom petals. The clouds suddenly broke, and a soft light illuminated the area. Remembering the fights to the death or her journey, Hibiki finally began to relax. "I think I know why I came here: to fight those masters of the sword." Hibiki closed her eyes, and felt the warm embrace of the swirling petals. When she opened her eyes again, she was in the cabin she used to shelter from the rain. As she stood, ready to resume her journey, a cherry blossom fell gently from her shoulder. Stepping over the delicate fallen petal, Hibiki made her way to her father's grave. In front of the grave, she pressed her hands together, and thought about her journey. She had faced many warriors. Each fight she fought with her father's words in her heart. "The sword was made to kill. Ultimately, none can resist the urge of kill. Not even a master of the sword." Hibiki left her father's grave. A journey through blood awaited, one she hoped would lead her closer to that man...''
