A man in rags stood in front of the gate. The gate to where it all began and830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxvdhn0oRp
where it would all end. A thousand steps it took him but he was reluctant to830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAXBxygqkI
take the last step. After all who'd be willing to walk to their deaths.830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4IvxY48Xn

Yet his mind was ready. His body steeled. The man took the hood off his head to830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkjPlbcuh2
reveal an aged face. With many wrinkles and more scars. He took a deep breath.830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO1FeZHuRb
Breathing in the fresh mountain air and the bloomed sakura trees. This beauty,830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlzQrjQ78u
he wondered if he'd be able to appreciate this picturesque view after...830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFiAxxfmCq

step and knocked, three times. First time, for the beginning, second time, for830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruXDNkr3sK
the journey, third time, for the end. One second, two seconds, three...The gate830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge0rqUF5Ok

traditions were important. Especially in this sacred place. Tradition...how big830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zXVBh0jWi
part of his life has that been ever since he joined the Golden Columns. 830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rtWfucOSV
How it moulded him, made him the man he was today. Should he be proud, or830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQO4Oiq726
should he be ashamed? He could not truly answer that.830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8iU4KRYWn

up to the Kami Temple. It was truly majestic, Serene Dancer could not help but830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N3WeCgCUL
take a few moments to appreciate it. But he knew he could not wait any830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kHMaULuMZ
longer. He had to keep going.830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y612FJiTz
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwi3WWBMmN
First830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHrcYUTRU7
step, ten steps...twenty...Serene Dancer counted each and every last step.830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawN57W6XqH
Taking in every last blade of grass and pebble, until he reached the main830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qLR1mBlp1
temple with their grand doors open.830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fkD52WCFY
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUXK1rbIxq
The first830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSiWWndyv6
step tentative, each one helped Serene Dancer gather more courage, until he830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8MgN7F6DX
entered the temple itself. Inside the temple was darkness, with a path of830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HlQ1Fbuzt
light leading further in. 830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbFNUSvcrR
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzsMlqCATF
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaugNXiUSH
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QuAZbB5Ze
Serene Dancer was surprised, he was expecting splendour. Beauty to match the830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOkwH1M8Ss
outside, but the darkness felt as if it would swallow you whole. It felt as if830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XjgCAchxc
Serene Dancer would lose his mind inside this darkness and would be forever830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJudIAJzCm
trapped.830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17QRz68KUs

"Calm830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe2Buem4xm
mind, calm spirit. The great one shall guide you." His mantra. He kept830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa95iHIeMpu
repeating those words until he had renewed courage to challenge the darkness.830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjqBh39fvs
The courage did not come But he knew he could not turn back, thus muttering the830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyULxC3oc0
words under his breath he followed the path of light.830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqpxdN66rY
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFyiWsoId1
He walked830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4WFmdOT2e
and walked, ten minutes, twenty an hour. "Calm mind, calm spirit..."830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQMWBLYB2g
The only words echoing in the darkness. As it kept encroaching the path of830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDER9QNqARb
light, dwindling it down. 830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZUefhsTU0
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bQyhe7Mo9
"Enough."830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9jhdk0gii
A voice joined Serene Dancer's prayers as the darkness retreated from the path830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjlla0RqQt
and revealed a figure sitting upon a throne, shining so brightly that it overtook830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGvWRUrenf
the darkness and there was only light.830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEwALxNhDC
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6kqpXXkB9
"You830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMR5dw0NPB

830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrAf7ahuar
Serene830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqR6sSLkqy
Dancer wept, for he was so overwhelmed by the sheer presence.830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoQ1thCPEZ
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN2Bydfwhv
"Come,830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk3fj2cCVZ
let us talk." Serene Dancer felt his legs move on their own as he walked830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz3IKlIk93
closer to God. Upon reaching the light he bent his knees, laying his, bald,830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oul8c4SfG
head down until his forehead touched the path of light.830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk0yBLcSU3
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLemiBx4hpU
"You,830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWqPT6Kzeo

judgement, whatever it may be"830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTmNP1mxkj
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU8NVQ4ixN
"I830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxutJAlU0i
do so swear." Serene Dancer's voice sounded so tiny, so miniscule in his830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHuTX5A3Il
ears. Especially compared to the voice of god.830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBS6Fixvtn
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6bIO9I8qL
"Very,830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE6z5QLt0z
well. Raise your head." As he did so, God's shape began to change,830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxmvjGd4zi
morphing into something else, something smaller. Until the light stopped fluctuating830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKH77DjpPU
and a small boy appeared out of the light.830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqRuIe0BFc
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zL9XmMUtJ
"This830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAMROwjMDZ
is the past you." Voice still unchanged. "Tell me why did you decide830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTivC9FjKH1
to join your order at such a young age?"830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQPWx80SON
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJORSHPLjTd
Serene830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnw2X8vHIK
Dancer sat in silence for a while, gathering his thoughts. "I wanted more830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFmwY4OE9u
out of my life. My parents were honest people, but poor. They were not able to830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvd4eWX1pa
provide for me and my siblings..."830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa0Pc1yc8b
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT59dsqw3D1
"Is830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU4HncwTIE
that why you abandoned them without saying a word?" Gods words cut through830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmLxBubkEg
Serene Dancer's as if knife cutting butter. "Do you know that they have830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ511HH5SKBT
spent years searching for you? That they blamed themselves for your disappearance?830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjN449Lldt
They died, 10 years after you joined the order. Thinking they have failed you,830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5MvCzAczX
leaving your siblings on their own. They are all dead now aswell."830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKpW9cNLU7
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5oSbvbG5s
Serene830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvenMQKABC
Dancer sat in contemplation. It was his family, but it has been so long ago830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Dp9ijCzRb
since he stopped being Bongzhon that it mattered little to him. The loss of830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXLz6ePLxY
life was horrible, but it was all in the past.830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyy6c3TwgZ
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcArPAEpI5
"Do830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh0LLmPGWh
you still believe you have made the correct choice? Of abandoning your family830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZcnN5w6nN
leading them to ruin?"830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuVtkDBB2Z
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUUR3hoB4i
"Yes."830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WU7D2zJR0
Was the only word Serene Dancer said, for that life would lead to ruin whether830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJPiXexnsv
he would've stayed or not.830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMcnBz9q21
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZJAFxuKX6
"Very830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8AUqVydeL
well." The light changed form again. This time to a grown man. With well830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpjawOv3Vm
developed muscles and a shaved head. "This is you when you have taken the830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51Sqwh60To
mantle of master. Tell me, do you believe you were worthy?"830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ9sqjYJmd
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FNotkGzy5
"I830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqAq7neejv
do." For believing otherwise would be dishonouring the choice made by830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxrw8vhA4N
everyone who chose him. The mantle of master is passed on through vote. With830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iiyZtj5RI
everyone in the order eligible to vote, from the youngest acolyte to the830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95w0ZZrqlW
hardened elder. Serene Dancer would respect their choice.830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePbexi4vts
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdCi9DktbC
"And830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseeOnllPN8
what of your choices? Would you do anything else or do you believe you were830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYafx0yrLH
perfect in your role?"830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAV878peW9
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg9y0SmRxc
"I830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE53nmGEw56
was not the perfect master, but I would not change any of the choices I830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnhXyK8rch
made." Before, the answer would've been yes. But not anymore. Did all his830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo5MUZxmCw
choices lead to a good conclusion? No. But they were his choices and he would830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgyTPQxzRT
stand by them.830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ExOotPDnQ
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4ePTXJT82
"Good."830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkEGgRgWZO
A shift again, and this time Serene Dancer saw an older man. A man with a bent830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgt3BfAMAM
down posture and beard that only ended at the waist. A man who had both830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQnO7gD0qG
wrinkles and scars on his face. A man that was him.830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncVU2lsLmQ
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVWasyCCu4
"This830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa2RbAOIFe
is you now, with all of your experience and wisdom you have gained. Tell me,830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn14URHiJVO
why did you decide to rest now?"830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9BCq7ucq0
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWZudSd8hd
"Because830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLOFGjV7HA
I am tired." Tired of seeing his friends die, tired of seeing people in a830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw2zVTMhyc
cycle of poverty and violence, tired of seeing the young ones deny tradition830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbRv8Y4gld
and stray further away from the righteous path. His time has come to an end.830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkS5LLzzJg
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzPLBoe6kF
"Any830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsVQbGLnEy
last words before I begin my judgement?"830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa57lUF8L9x
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAPoPrT1M5
"No."830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wmgf6NuJQ

830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcMZEQl429
"Bongzhon,830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndNM1e0zdu

rest."830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZT3eVKOKc
830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QSiRO9wHv
The light830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglfp0gj3Za
enveloped Serene Dancer, as he felt it's light touch and warmth. He felt830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94VJ1F1n44
his body slowly disappearing as it joined the light and he felt, for the first830Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ArvClkGkM
