"Blessing and a Strange Hand"

A second son was born to a feudal lord in a remote region. Unlike his older brother, he was unfortunate in intellect, but in exchange possessed talent with the sword. Raised with his family's love, he grew up healthily. However, his life was not entirely smooth sailing. From birth, he possessed a strange power. His family, concerned about his future, instructed him to hide this power. He lived his life following their teachings. This is that story.
