A man in rags stood in front of the gate. The gate to where it all began and853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N3iZD7ITP
where it would all end. A thousand steps it took him but he was reluctant to853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6qU11F9Ff
take the last step. After all who'd be willing to walk to their deaths.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ueNxjGH6h

Yet his mind was ready. His body steeled. The man took the hood off his head to853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI83JKgByq1
reveal an aged face. With many wrinkles and more scars. He took a deep breath.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3D26WPRsF
Breathing in the fresh mountain air and the bloomed sakura trees. This beauty,853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiudzzhay9
he wondered if he'd be able to appreciate this picturesque view after...853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO9W3o96Bg

step and knocked, three times. First time, for the beginning, second time, for853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5UaxJUrXO
the journey, third time, for the end. One second, two seconds, three...The gate853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1mWRESlw5

traditions were important. Especially in this sacred place. Tradition...how big853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaSgJtwBfU
part of his life has that been ever since he joined the Golden Columns. 853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdcD8nOSWS
How it moulded him, made him the man he was today. Should he be proud, or853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBl7CxgrIi
should he be ashamed? He could not truly answer that.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z2sQOTrB5

up to the Kami Temple. It was truly majestic, Serene Dancer could not help but853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P1ZcBP5HN
take a few moments to appreciate it. But he knew he could not wait any853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiXIzJJhsk
longer. He had to keep going.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTBN2uNHKY
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwdVOg4IRg
First853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGimxEDGU5
step, ten steps...twenty...Serene Dancer counted each and every last step.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6RU3G6U7H
Taking in every last blade of grass and pebble, until he reached the main853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatMtMFdz6V
temple with their grand doors open.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AQMpRbViQ
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsuMKooTzv
The first853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFj1bTfJaC
step tentative, each one helped Serene Dancer gather more courage, until he853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjE5MMiKHi
entered the temple itself. Inside the temple was darkness, with a path of853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUjIsQtfXz
light leading further in. 853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvYeBM9HK2
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMQGU1E8WX
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09kDImnUmb
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzKqGsjflp
Serene Dancer was surprised, he was expecting splendour. Beauty to match the853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSP2OUt539
outside, but the darkness felt as if it would swallow you whole. It felt as if853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe26fMjkAb
Serene Dancer would lose his mind inside this darkness and would be forever853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxcjQL62zv
trapped.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAY1sA2OnE

853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB0nlJ38PR
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9lczSLN0i
"Calm853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAFSRak6nx
mind, calm spirit. The great one shall guide you." His mantra. He kept853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21TktIoS28
repeating those words until he had renewed courage to challenge the darkness.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KwHbe0J1A
The courage did not come But he knew he could not turn back, thus muttering the853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3G44uMXRd
words under his breath he followed the path of light.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVjEx5eLwP
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf7BRSFr7r
He walked853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZvLAWI0oL
and walked, ten minutes, twenty an hour. "Calm mind, calm spirit..."853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblUJPCFCOa
The only words echoing in the darkness. As it kept encroaching the path of853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxgaWPd5co
light, dwindling it down. 853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUseu0zL2q
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40z7Gd96he
"Enough."853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PCKRV85pk
A voice joined Serene Dancer's prayers as the darkness retreated from the path853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUm0vDaej1
and revealed a figure sitting upon a throne, shining so brightly that it overtook853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2ECyFemmU
the darkness and there was only light.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi5C2WGwxA
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1IhYi89vo
"You853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvawTpa9oDl
have come far, Bongzhon."853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ElpXPWLU6
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UCDPMGvla
Serene853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqgyey9X3g
Dancer wept, for he was so overwhelmed by the sheer presence.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWihQGeskb
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjnlqR5gss
"Come,853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x2NaKjkXR
let us talk." Serene Dancer felt his legs move on their own as he walked853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdxQqjisOj
closer to God. Upon reaching the light he bent his knees, laying his, bald,853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vxwRpaWNS
head down until his forehead touched the path of light.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJrzeBHa7d
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb6KGCnLoh
"You,853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUNSKyt4hu
as many before you, have come to be judged. Do you swear to accept my853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ll2a81hyF
judgement, whatever it may be"853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF11POGN51
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOyBEZln1q
"I853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjc86tUWAp
do so swear." Serene Dancer's voice sounded so tiny, so miniscule in his853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksdLd4doQz
ears. Especially compared to the voice of god.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMmGARncAP
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoge0E67aI
"Very,853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JaAMUyxc4
well. Raise your head." As he did so, God's shape began to change,853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJCB45TV44
morphing into something else, something smaller. Until the light stopped fluctuating853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0urKZy8Ht
and a small boy appeared out of the light.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGno9AtrY4y
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyJynPI6mV
"This853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9QAUkPLyF
is the past you." Voice still unchanged. "Tell me why did you decide853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt58QnEHfwS
to join your order at such a young age?"853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BkxYN4pMG
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrPGw3dhbG
Serene853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPx9D1L0l8
Dancer sat in silence for a while, gathering his thoughts. "I wanted more853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjg3nd4Dqr
out of my life. My parents were honest people, but poor. They were not able to853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHxUDSneml
provide for me and my siblings..."853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA44F0NWQTr
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOQONqdQyL
"Is853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIpxhIUT6j
that why you abandoned them without saying a word?" Gods words cut through853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3db9n8DEwX
Serene Dancer's as if knife cutting butter. "Do you know that they have853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OTSH4hVXO
spent years searching for you? That they blamed themselves for your disappearance?853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqZsZSs0Vv
They died, 10 years after you joined the order. Thinking they have failed you,853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKQe6gr61Y
leaving your siblings on their own. They are all dead now aswell."853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaGj5HTtsR
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza5UTiAU1z
Serene853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xz7JLLBHW
Dancer sat in contemplation. It was his family, but it has been so long ago853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWGziPhyU1
since he stopped being Bongzhon that it mattered little to him. The loss of853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxVgExwHsJ
life was horrible, but it was all in the past.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek4cg6spkO
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCqnWgsvWw
"Do853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4OVHY9sIB
you still believe you have made the correct choice? Of abandoning your family853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj5dTQmgBu
leading them to ruin?"853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVQwB8psUV
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxOiOfX2zA
"Yes."853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8zEFSzGvK
Was the only word Serene Dancer said, for that life would lead to ruin whether853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbFdrcscas
he would've stayed or not.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu7N7wYvnz
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrikPOrXwHI
"Very853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyAD32wyi6
well." The light changed form again. This time to a grown man. With well853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T2Q3xn8yd
developed muscles and a shaved head. "This is you when you have taken the853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRrndqMdNG
mantle of master. Tell me, do you believe you were worthy?"853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYibp0LzyfI
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzOBIgInzz
"I853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBTFOZ8zzH
do." For believing otherwise would be dishonouring the choice made by853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Varyk6inR
everyone who chose him. The mantle of master is passed on through vote. With853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKfaNFUT86
everyone in the order eligible to vote, from the youngest acolyte to the853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVuLGDp2Vq
hardened elder. Serene Dancer would respect their choice.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PyP9BbRzN
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHrmSP8AQs
"And853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVmVae7NIl
what of your choices? Would you do anything else or do you believe you were853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjh5Xa3JSr
perfect in your role?"853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7V6F9tJXq
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OIKSwW0hT
"I853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtmjbi34D1
was not the perfect master, but I would not change any of the choices I853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwpxHE5m1c
made." Before, the answer would've been yes. But not anymore. Did all his853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSIFzSEHK7
choices lead to a good conclusion? No. But they were his choices and he would853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbOEZQx3OC
stand by them.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNRFUwL3eb
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0qYoxIoi8
"Good."853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GJ55KHAyG
A shift again, and this time Serene Dancer saw an older man. A man with a bent853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXClPmRX5xk
down posture and beard that only ended at the waist. A man who had both853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M2D6QMYFv
wrinkles and scars on his face. A man that was him.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOaeZsBDAh
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmPVWwM04V
"This853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0AWxF1jrE
is you now, with all of your experience and wisdom you have gained. Tell me,853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTEKkMjDys
why did you decide to rest now?"853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSaLJCG6ch
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDWq3WDOG8
"Because853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedt65a3pRx
I am tired." Tired of seeing his friends die, tired of seeing people in a853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQVAX2ospO
cycle of poverty and violence, tired of seeing the young ones deny tradition853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfgSEaAHpg
and stray further away from the righteous path. His time has come to an end.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79Q3jgAUvJ
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ9VoD5yvi
"Any853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8YVMOz5kK
last words before I begin my judgement?"853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xuOcUnJrT
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZMQpZ2neV
"No."853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C9BnvzjZs
Serene Dancer cleared his mind, it was time to let go. 853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2nXy8McBB
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG80XHpo6j
"Bongzhon,853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3g4CPxs35

rest."853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp227AEI1q
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y6LPbDWua
The light853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKMBHKL7wO
enveloped Serene Dancer, as he felt it's light touch and warmth. He felt853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhqpM0Anu4
his body slowly disappearing as it joined the light and he felt, for the first853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OxNRakmTW
time in decades, happy and in peace.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwe5ss8DBS
