Final Novel Blurb - Graphic Novel

Blurb: 
A young samurai named Nagamasa dares to end a war on his own by traversing pitch black forests filled with bandits and feral creatures.  During his journey to speak with the 4 Ancients, he is unwillingly aided by his perky sister, Midori, and utilizes the strength, fighting ability, and wisdom taught to him by their grandfather, Durara. Nagamasa's goal to speak to the 4 Ancients and learn more about the history of the world will not come as expected, as no one who has ever spoken to the Ancients has lived to tell the tale.

Themes:

How much would you sacrifice to protect the ones you love?
What about the ones you love will you remember when you can no longer see them?
What is "family"?
Expecting the unexpected can result in a more independent and inquisitive lifestyle.
Is the truth really worth searching for?

Characters:
Nagamasa - 22, male, 6'0", a Samurai with an athletic build, carries the katana his grandfather taught him how to fight with. When he is not training or exploring he is helping his grandfather fix up their family shrine.
Midori - 17, female, 5'6", Nagamasa's young and talkative sister. Against her grandfather's wishes, she wants to learn how to fight and protect her family like Nagamasa, though she is usually seen gardening or helping Durara with housework.
Durara - 72, male, 5'8", grandfather to both Nagamasa an Midori, homeschooled them from an early age since they live in the countryside (in an attempt to keep them out of the ear torn cities where their parents died). He is often seen teaching Nagamasa how to fight, or helping Midori around the house. Unbeknown to him Nagamasa has been teaching Midori how to fight as well…
