well well, very interesting. I liked the start; descriptive, set out your character etc.
i didn't think he was a paladin by the description though, maybe some kind of rogue but if that's the effect you were going for, fair dos.
I thought your characterisation of Yoshimo was pretty good but didn't contain the subtle nuances of the canon. when you were describing his allies, you kinda pounded it in with a sledgehammer, which contrasted with the tranquility of the rest of the piece.
There were no real personality traits shown by your PC but again, that might have been the effect you were going for.
The only real issue i have is you slipped from 3rd person to 1st person perspectives in your writing and that tends to be a big nono in the literary department unless its used for specific effect.
Very promising though.
