Bushido.

I have, recently, come upon a discovery quite jarring to me, in a pleasant manner. During some travelling I was doing I happeend to witness Bhuddist Warrior Monks in combat, needless to say they were sparring among themselved, but I was quite taken by their prowess and after they were finished I proceeded to ask them about their dicipline.

One challenged me to strike him, I was dubous, given I could rend the gentleman apart with one strike, but he assured me it was safe; after a rather guarded attempt which was easily evaded he asked me to not hold back, I assented, and found myself, quite for the first time in my life, unable to strike at him- His reflexes seemed to be even faster than mine and he had no trouble surviving the attack.

I begged the group to teach me their secrets, which turned out to come in the surprising form of a spiritual nature, clarity, beleif and meditation which all came easily to me. They taught me the use of their swords and their customs, called Bushido, a way of honor and one-ness with the world.

I was taken on as a student; those eager to learn their ways are very rare these days, as it turns out. In time, I was given a robe called a Kimono - which is very loose and comfortable, allowing coplete freedom of movement for their arts. I was given armor they had made for me, which is admittedly more ceremonial than it is functional (it would not stop even a round from the most modest firearm) and finally, swords of my own.

Their disciplines have taken well to the structures of my mind, and I like what they have taught me, though their actual religon is barely comprehensible, I confess it makes more sense than any other so far, and i am looking into it.

I've since taken up residency at The Getaway, an outdoor bar which lends itself to the visitations of many dragons and avians, and also easier for the likes of me. It is visited by many niteresting and friendly creatures. I work there as security now, though it's largelty a token title given how eventless the place is already, festooned with the powerful who are mature enough to flex their power in decense alone with a lack of ego. I mostly spend time greeting customers and cleaning,

That is enough, for now, i confess I'm not even certain if anyone reads these thoughts...
