Silence, stillness, calm. Inhale, exhale.
Calm in thought, and clear skies in his mind. It had been three weeks since he had set out from the monastery, and he sat lotus in the center of one of the many isolated pagodas in the mountains. He had been readying himself for joining the rest of the world, and meditation was what he used to keep his goals and morals straight. But inconvenient for him, he had come across a number of tribals, indigenous or primitive people who didn’t care too much for his presence in the mountains.
He had yet to be harmed by them, and they had yet to be deterred by his staff. Things were sure to escalate from there, but until then, he’d wait, and think. Until a set of footsteps could be heard approaching him. If they were hostile, he’d be happy to oblige them. If not, he’d be happy to speak.
