A man in rags stood in front of the gate. The gate to where it all began and765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHMTHxAldu
where it would all end. A thousand steps it took him but he was reluctant to765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZuz5XkxuF
take the last step. After all who'd be willing to walk to their deaths.765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsb95Vg2Qj

Yet his mind was ready. His body steeled. The man took the hood off his head to765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlVf9nmWTZ
reveal an aged face. With many wrinkles and more scars. He took a deep breath.765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9WgDnYern
Breathing in the fresh mountain air and the bloomed sakura trees. This beauty,765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N2gwWeIEu
he wondered if he'd be able to appreciate this picturesque view after...765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOeTT8F6Oh

step and knocked, three times. First time, for the beginning, second time, for765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQfgrY3YaK
the journey, third time, for the end. One second, two seconds, three...The gate765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrTunRdWBT

Dancer passed the threshold. He knew he could've done so before hand but765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0LhPBe0O8
traditions were important. Especially in this sacred place. Tradition...how big765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKdvtFOx1L
part of his life has that been ever since he joined the Golden Columns. 765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtSHXnUUCC
How it moulded him, made him the man he was today. Should he be proud, or765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnglZ8zjAN
should he be ashamed? He could not truly answer that.765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOfj3fe4BK

up to the Kami Temple. It was truly majestic, Serene Dancer could not help but765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh30DABYHHz
take a few moments to appreciate it. But he knew he could not wait any765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbzZV5pL31
longer. He had to keep going.765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvif6olp1f
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsUmoH8Iyi
First765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LbCkMtvVm
step, ten steps...twenty...Serene Dancer counted each and every last step.765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv8iwEutW7
Taking in every last blade of grass and pebble, until he reached the main765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdO9uqAyVu
temple with their grand doors open.765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3szHk8ukB
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtW0mAwrVJ
The first765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKjznV54XS
step tentative, each one helped Serene Dancer gather more courage, until he765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XjMzBTiUc
entered the temple itself. Inside the temple was darkness, with a path of765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqM7rwBH9S
light leading further in. 765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7z55v9jw8
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPCXoBznwl
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu7xTef6hH
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HVReJp6S7
Serene Dancer was surprised, he was expecting splendour. Beauty to match the765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5clVsrODV
outside, but the darkness felt as if it would swallow you whole. It felt as if765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoY2RuKlb6
Serene Dancer would lose his mind inside this darkness and would be forever765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPUJ5gtSqM
trapped.765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBfDzTB3JC
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5JxhmrKd1

765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMdsPfvAZE
"Calm765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx0swleTWZ
mind, calm spirit. The great one shall guide you." His mantra. He kept765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXO1a7GvYb
repeating those words until he had renewed courage to challenge the darkness.765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjqiYSIMwk
The courage did not come But he knew he could not turn back, thus muttering the765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECP1LscKbu
words under his breath he followed the path of light.765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqw0y9OJoi
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jlGqQoyyH
He walked765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi7j8d3lOI
and walked, ten minutes, twenty an hour. "Calm mind, calm spirit..."765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJIFzJN0Pi
The only words echoing in the darkness. As it kept encroaching the path of765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhKA7TElP7
light, dwindling it down. 765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVslTLmK9HC
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmnX82TCQ4
"Enough."765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHYPPIGciS
A voice joined Serene Dancer's prayers as the darkness retreated from the path765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzsKLb8dUd
and revealed a figure sitting upon a throne, shining so brightly that it overtook765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ907fXnMH95
the darkness and there was only light.765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM80x4yOe7
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cNXLxy7vp
"You765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R100SPrGh

765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GmpSYkD1D
Serene765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUGsENE0Gb
Dancer wept, for he was so overwhelmed by the sheer presence.765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNKVmuJhqg
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkSRLZm9BN
"Come,765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a5D4NZd0F
let us talk." Serene Dancer felt his legs move on their own as he walked765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8ovirrwt8
closer to God. Upon reaching the light he bent his knees, laying his, bald,765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI8iRexAIs
head down until his forehead touched the path of light.765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG5WHjYWXn
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBvY7V26Ay
"You,765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhJu25DLKj

judgement, whatever it may be"765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrb34MRTRj
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SEVUAy9Br
"I765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpHM61WbJZ
do so swear." Serene Dancer's voice sounded so tiny, so miniscule in his765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsuAaz6mdb
ears. Especially compared to the voice of god.765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl6VY4Yi2O
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp1YwKKihd
"Very,765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0d37xTL4r
well. Raise your head." As he did so, God's shape began to change,765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWtfpZrMW2
morphing into something else, something smaller. Until the light stopped fluctuating765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFNd6HdZtg
and a small boy appeared out of the light.765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnHoszD5vH
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD4HSJvgpa
"This765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDHY4gJjY1
is the past you." Voice still unchanged. "Tell me why did you decide765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD4AOGeYx5
to join your order at such a young age?"765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3327VlerK
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjvTpK7yFL
Serene765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocCP3H9zoB
Dancer sat in silence for a while, gathering his thoughts. "I wanted more765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiLQBOmct3
out of my life. My parents were honest people, but poor. They were not able to765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3PnuOaITs
provide for me and my siblings..."765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O4EHblKTn
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFMcTIb7IW
"Is765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJbXIcmpzU
that why you abandoned them without saying a word?" Gods words cut through765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk8gbxjrjk
Serene Dancer's as if knife cutting butter. "Do you know that they have765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXZgnr1p68
spent years searching for you? That they blamed themselves for your disappearance?765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONxistpdOK
They died, 10 years after you joined the order. Thinking they have failed you,765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5BSAYg0VE
leaving your siblings on their own. They are all dead now aswell."765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WM7GuiJ4y
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzHMHPPGoC
Serene765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvQi9gpGvR
Dancer sat in contemplation. It was his family, but it has been so long ago765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7s4tHKnel
since he stopped being Bongzhon that it mattered little to him. The loss of765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVuK8IuY3G
life was horrible, but it was all in the past.765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPe0Ip4wqr
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK7m07w9Oj
"Do765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh09pdazx1
you still believe you have made the correct choice? Of abandoning your family765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnHmJzCsPa
leading them to ruin?"765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv1VqxPxsM
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4y2lRVCcw
"Yes."765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEJtPShtGl
Was the only word Serene Dancer said, for that life would lead to ruin whether765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKQ0a85wLs
he would've stayed or not.765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rjJmHpEUN
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI2fIjJh57
"Very765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0PwQI7okj
well." The light changed form again. This time to a grown man. With well765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi6IoEQezF
developed muscles and a shaved head. "This is you when you have taken the765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxpuXEtw6I
mantle of master. Tell me, do you believe you were worthy?"765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0CQ204iYT
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFsNfFgSDT
"I765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4PuHwmLbb
do." For believing otherwise would be dishonouring the choice made by765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSlpuS4bFC
everyone who chose him. The mantle of master is passed on through vote. With765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgoKjfwlpC
everyone in the order eligible to vote, from the youngest acolyte to the765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv7ThWZYIJ
hardened elder. Serene Dancer would respect their choice.765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFchx47pnA6
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSwrehbnG0
"And765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp22HUpC8f
what of your choices? Would you do anything else or do you believe you were765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5uGrcoU8R
perfect in your role?"765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1ATA4Bhh7
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vm2Iy8KJC
"I765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBtOOmoZSK
was not the perfect master, but I would not change any of the choices I765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5jKSkHNAI
made." Before, the answer would've been yes. But not anymore. Did all his765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGn1FTo9qB
choices lead to a good conclusion? No. But they were his choices and he would765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM22BqUsUP
stand by them.765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡythHQudyhY
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU6kSCEyeJ
"Good."765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGHuVCWG3h
A shift again, and this time Serene Dancer saw an older man. A man with a bent765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PBe4OVHvq
down posture and beard that only ended at the waist. A man who had both765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2D31BB61n
wrinkles and scars on his face. A man that was him.765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkyK3ZhRws
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEedorukslC
"This765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGWtCif5Hs
is you now, with all of your experience and wisdom you have gained. Tell me,765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKJXF9fswB
why did you decide to rest now?"765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkS25ziLKc
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd5voxgg4J
"Because765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa6gqJ3vfu
I am tired." Tired of seeing his friends die, tired of seeing people in a765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4SuW2IA3Z
cycle of poverty and violence, tired of seeing the young ones deny tradition765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcbLgHGoUJ
and stray further away from the righteous path. His time has come to an end.765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYb7Wh2u59
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfgBodKdQT

765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb7gBdUsfK
"No."765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUtXMHKjUM
Serene Dancer cleared his mind, it was time to let go. 765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0ldPCEr8y
765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlexxIBuIJ
"Bongzhon,765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud2owVUgEZ

765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyburH5M5zM
The light765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kc9u9x4xA
enveloped Serene Dancer, as he felt it's light touch and warmth. He felt765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPHe27S4av
his body slowly disappearing as it joined the light and he felt, for the first765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjg9NRihdU
