The afternoon sun beat down on our film set in the village outside Nihhon City. Wooden buildings and carefully constructed props transformed the landscape into a feudal-era setting for "Seven Samurai."

I needed to learn more about this Dionysus - especially about these followers of a false god. I decided to revisit the spot where I'd met the girl.
She had told me Dionysus actually answered her prayers. Now that I thought about it more deeply, her life could be in danger if such an entity was demanding something in exchange for answered prayers.
I made my way through the poor district where we'd first met. To my luck, I spo...

The bamboo fountain clicked rhythmically against stone as another half hour passed. Autumn leaves drifted across the dueling ground where Arthur and Takeshi continued their dance.
The observers believed Takeshi was merely prolonging the fight for sport. They couldn't see his growing frustration as Arthur blocked each increasingly powerful strike while maintaining his facade of struggle.
