"Hay there young lady. I have prepared something for you which will be given to you after I leave. That being said I hope you have a good memory."
"You remember how so long ago I told you that you might, might be worthy of learning a recipe that is over a hundred years old and has had 2 lifetimes to be prefected. I am talking about the salsa!"
"Well I am about to whisper it in your ear and I hope that you can remember it because I will not say it twice."
"There. You got that? Do you remember it perfictly? Good never forget it and if you can't find someone that is kind enough to earn it then take it to your grave. Take it to your grave and let it end with you. That is the promise that I made a lifetime ago and now you shall make the very same promise."
"As for the rest of what I will leave you before shoving off to unexplored waters, in my travels I have come across a thousand recipes from just as many cultures. I have been shown such wonders and writen down all that I came across. Inside those books is all that I found over my 84 years of life. They will be yours to do with as you please. It is only the salsa recipe that you must guard."
"Guard it like this!"
A dear friend of mine from long ago once asked me to watch over his 2 children if something were to ever happen to him. He wanted to make sure that they would not be left twisting in the wind and traped alone with no one to care what happened to them.
He died tragically of a heart attack around the age of 57. Gone to soon and the entire world left poorer for his absense. I am if nothing else a man of my word. I made sure they each finished High School. That they went to a good collage. I walked both of his daughters down the isle at their weddings and made sure that they had the drive to go on.

They both became doctors and saved lives. They are dirven and loved what they were doing.
It was not that I loved them that I cared for them so. I promised an old friend to take care of them and that is exactly what I did. I made sure that they could stand on their own two feet and go on to better things then otherwise.
I did my duity as both a man and a friend. I guarded them in the worst time of their lives and they have sense done great things on their own.
That is the weight of a promise, never forget that weight when you choose to take it up.

The Twelve
In a world marred by the supernatural, Japan suffers from its own fair share of evil and demonic disasters, with generations of shamans known as Onmyoji protecting their homeland from these forces of evil. Capable of wielding magic and using spirits of their own, these shamans were not only skilled in battle, but also divination. However, they were unable to correctly predict Japan's loss in World War Two, and suffered the punishments that followed. Persecuted and torn apart by infighting, the Onmyoji reunited under the banner of the Tsuchimikado clan, descendants of Abe no Seimei, one of the greatest Onmyoji to ever live. The Onmyoji began to rebuild and to regrow. Ren is the sole heir to the Tsuchimikado family, but has been unable to practice Onmyodo ever since his birth, even though he possesses the greatest ability in the family. But when disaster befalls his family, Ren has nobody to turn to, and no idea how to use his powers. As he journeys to escape the same fate his family faced and attempts to learn how to use his powers, there is only one question on his mind; as the Tsuchimikado heir, how can he save the Onmyoji... from themselves? ---------------------------------------------- note from author: I'm writing this based loosely on the very real theories of Onmyodo, and so my writing may not be a truthful or accurate depiction of Onmyodo or other related areas, such as religion, for instance. That is why, while depicted in the real world, events that happen may seem unrealistic and it may be easier to imagine it as a parallel universe that is the same as ours, but with slight differences so that my possible errors will be easier to overlook. Sorry, and thanks!

In the 20th century America reinvented itself. Devastated by depression, scarred by war, rocked by a revolution, Americans banded together to preserve their country and their freedom. They had faith in themselves, faith in one another, and for those who believed…faith in God. This novel tells the story of one American who lived through those turbulent years….years that would test his character and the character of a nation. For Josh Sanders it begins in 1935. A star athlete in school, pro football is a ticket out of poverty during the Great Depression; but when his father, a WWI veteran, is killed during a robbery, Josh’s spirit is broken, and with it his boyhood dream. To honor his father Josh joins the war effort in 1942, distinguishing himself as a fighter pilot, until a fateful decision near the end of the war changes the course of his life once again. But many years later, after a stint as a boxer and a failed marriage, Josh finds his calling…at a time when the country is at war with itself. The year is 1968. King and Kennedy have been killed, race riots are breaking out, and Vietnam has become an albatross, causing massive protests across the country. In the streets of San Francisco Josh watches a crowd of students march for peace. As a veteran he’s conflicted, toward the war and those who oppose it. But when he encounters Rosy Goldin, a spirited young protester in need of help, a voice from the past calls him to action. His good intentions are soon tested when Rosy falls in love with the fugitive anti-war activist Erick White, a young man determined to oppose the war at all costs, against the wishes of his own father. Fearful of what happens to Rosy, Josh confronts Erick, unwilling to be part of his plan to escape…until he meets the boy’s father. A high-powered criminal attorney, Karl White is also a flag-waving patriot demanding that his son follow the law.
