A man in rags stood in front of the gate. The gate to where it all began and839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPMWTouDm8
where it would all end. A thousand steps it took him but he was reluctant to839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZEigjYYvc
take the last step. After all who'd be willing to walk to their deaths.839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv136yxKubD

Yet his mind was ready. His body steeled. The man took the hood off his head to839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGlexoNwti
reveal an aged face. With many wrinkles and more scars. He took a deep breath.839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w0X1ro6NG
Breathing in the fresh mountain air and the bloomed sakura trees. This beauty,839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHJV7hLB0k
he wondered if he'd be able to appreciate this picturesque view after...839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4LFfmswrS

step and knocked, three times. First time, for the beginning, second time, for839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATqt0eFxEp
the journey, third time, for the end. One second, two seconds, three...The gate839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZaPzPtH39

traditions were important. Especially in this sacred place. Tradition...how big839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11ZsT1Sw5D
part of his life has that been ever since he joined the Golden Columns. 839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA4yfWRPZr
How it moulded him, made him the man he was today. Should he be proud, or839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnunuhUGqx4
should he be ashamed? He could not truly answer that.839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZgVMRBFO6

up to the Kami Temple. It was truly majestic, Serene Dancer could not help but839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxluTXa1PQg
take a few moments to appreciate it. But he knew he could not wait any839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m43thsaRf
longer. He had to keep going.839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtsyyPcIAX
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1eOdufXFm
First839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL6ZQU2WbH
step, ten steps...twenty...Serene Dancer counted each and every last step.839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlWIh8euwp
Taking in every last blade of grass and pebble, until he reached the main839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FA7LLKBi1
temple with their grand doors open.839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw7O6rtq25
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJFqFVcl1P
The first839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYONbBkSQX
step tentative, each one helped Serene Dancer gather more courage, until he839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf5Pax7OCf
entered the temple itself. Inside the temple was darkness, with a path of839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndFPZFnun5
light leading further in. 839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK26OQOpJF
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWY4Rm6ijH
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV6qoosYuu
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXxPWceQXI
Serene Dancer was surprised, he was expecting splendour. Beauty to match the839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbHuwH7fwo
outside, but the darkness felt as if it would swallow you whole. It felt as if839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzOTq0zrWB
Serene Dancer would lose his mind inside this darkness and would be forever839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nunbtEl3d
trapped.839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwSprsFSzN
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalZWrGSXE9
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDYGU6x4KN
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LlHTH3ncA
"Calm839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjYkMK3vbe
mind, calm spirit. The great one shall guide you." His mantra. He kept839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO9dvRGOWj
repeating those words until he had renewed courage to challenge the darkness.839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQSHmWYMcR
The courage did not come But he knew he could not turn back, thus muttering the839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sO3wojBAA
words under his breath he followed the path of light.839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt170TwKzg
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq71VitLVFD
He walked839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWAQSxOqvz
and walked, ten minutes, twenty an hour. "Calm mind, calm spirit..."839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnEvcSySzH
The only words echoing in the darkness. As it kept encroaching the path of839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKywDHrzlv7
light, dwindling it down. 839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2CmxRzcyr
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev232M8TyJ
"Enough."839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsk0oMbTqC
A voice joined Serene Dancer's prayers as the darkness retreated from the path839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kM0WUkGYz
and revealed a figure sitting upon a throne, shining so brightly that it overtook839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkCV017BOR
the darkness and there was only light.839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96QRBH0tuR
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhHAPBfDM1
"You839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaE6W286wu
have come far, Bongzhon."839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdcfvVquSz
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5dZ2CboF1
Serene839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkAwIo8sCt
Dancer wept, for he was so overwhelmed by the sheer presence.839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNImCZfuQpw
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY33y3kyWf
"Come,839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKDLIqmmim
let us talk." Serene Dancer felt his legs move on their own as he walked839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQmkCHlWJQ
closer to God. Upon reaching the light he bent his knees, laying his, bald,839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdtPoJgeMW
head down until his forehead touched the path of light.839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT8cvjgcTj
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBsbOFYi1D
"You,839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBEDmrpZZP
as many before you, have come to be judged. Do you swear to accept my839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡticvRItBlG
judgement, whatever it may be"839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekVNgIRckW
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijkhhngDp3
"I839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOuGSL1lXW
do so swear." Serene Dancer's voice sounded so tiny, so miniscule in his839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU6JaUCqn5
ears. Especially compared to the voice of god.839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfWV6xK44Y
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHGDGfoi3U
"Very,839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswb31zMorS
well. Raise your head." As he did so, God's shape began to change,839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6vUiktxHD
morphing into something else, something smaller. Until the light stopped fluctuating839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04cS0Mpovj
and a small boy appeared out of the light.839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYHeYNPSg2
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPxxH7wj7l
"This839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM7VunhqnB
is the past you." Voice still unchanged. "Tell me why did you decide839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfY1fU2iG4
to join your order at such a young age?"839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDys2Z9q7Y
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UircaXnp0
Serene839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIJCNt3aMr
Dancer sat in silence for a while, gathering his thoughts. "I wanted more839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF5QSJba1o
out of my life. My parents were honest people, but poor. They were not able to839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMYbm9Mh9N
provide for me and my siblings..."839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXyeWPVguc
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkILKlkYfz
"Is839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOllxXjEeP
that why you abandoned them without saying a word?" Gods words cut through839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrGSbwVD5h
Serene Dancer's as if knife cutting butter. "Do you know that they have839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvutorTa1Vl
spent years searching for you? That they blamed themselves for your disappearance?839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEC7ZPmD9l
They died, 10 years after you joined the order. Thinking they have failed you,839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9pdbpe48V
leaving your siblings on their own. They are all dead now aswell."839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQycTea2xSW
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZjtUDNEws
Serene839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwUpTjZgTx
Dancer sat in contemplation. It was his family, but it has been so long ago839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqWa1SLxFP
since he stopped being Bongzhon that it mattered little to him. The loss of839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb5D21YBNa
life was horrible, but it was all in the past.839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBYwWq3ki9
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwJnTIcc8o
"Do839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh3shRLARt
you still believe you have made the correct choice? Of abandoning your family839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWfuS5qlJd
leading them to ruin?"839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LT1jIibmT
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlYoH4Igqj
"Yes."839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0pBURuzbs
Was the only word Serene Dancer said, for that life would lead to ruin whether839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBzpBRc7ik
he would've stayed or not.839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCzhdjqGqo
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xg5BqWnrR
"Very839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUJLUj4yuG
well." The light changed form again. This time to a grown man. With well839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFqZ6y6pPv
developed muscles and a shaved head. "This is you when you have taken the839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9J0i5Vlm0
mantle of master. Tell me, do you believe you were worthy?"839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwn9BHB3lC
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt4pIfvXl8
"I839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSXQePym2t
do." For believing otherwise would be dishonouring the choice made by839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsFInu49Yz
everyone who chose him. The mantle of master is passed on through vote. With839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJxaxun563
everyone in the order eligible to vote, from the youngest acolyte to the839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2ePvenKvw
hardened elder. Serene Dancer would respect their choice.839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JdwffC1wY
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqRgiBUSJ3
"And839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8t3XM8h7m
what of your choices? Would you do anything else or do you believe you were839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vSnMI1X8u
perfect in your role?"839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNxX7bJUaU
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtspjgxKFW
"I839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGj7UCim66
was not the perfect master, but I would not change any of the choices I839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvrooW9DJC
made." Before, the answer would've been yes. But not anymore. Did all his839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWrdNVnE6P
choices lead to a good conclusion? No. But they were his choices and he would839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMJm4Iv2O1
stand by them.839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgk7oIBCOL
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5JyEtpxo5
"Good."839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eknWg9Sf5
A shift again, and this time Serene Dancer saw an older man. A man with a bent839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAAkX290zP
down posture and beard that only ended at the waist. A man who had both839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTOzM6Rg4N
wrinkles and scars on his face. A man that was him.839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGBaq3vxwf
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrvhuU2npT
"This839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYH5OBGVYQ
is you now, with all of your experience and wisdom you have gained. Tell me,839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qF2vKHdgk
why did you decide to rest now?"839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJJ0Nsy95h
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGfwZFvxTu
"Because839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnY7flcKLO
I am tired." Tired of seeing his friends die, tired of seeing people in a839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQomYi6xzJJ
cycle of poverty and violence, tired of seeing the young ones deny tradition839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFRCpYdUek
and stray further away from the righteous path. His time has come to an end.839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kctMq8xWA
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj2QlIGFMD

839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqmxakHhKH
"No."839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDbn2xEUwX
Serene Dancer cleared his mind, it was time to let go. 839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvUI43eh5k
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozl2XOc5Ig
"Bongzhon,839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ97llnQ6u

rest."839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv4pQubt0z
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mjUpldrxi
The light839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJnXTds4tU
enveloped Serene Dancer, as he felt it's light touch and warmth. He felt839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsvMpta62W
his body slowly disappearing as it joined the light and he felt, for the first839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzGBFjgw5S
time in decades, happy and in peace.839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJEFGT3AzV
