The Summons of Woo Fen
-
**_…the cock crows, and you wake. You slide out of bed and slip gracefully across the sandalwood floor. You bow to the sun and whisper a prayer to the Morning Lord as you greet the day, then fall quickly back into a combat stance. Something is not as it should be. A quick scan of your spartan chambers reveals the oddity. There, lying next to your bed and only two feet from where your head sat on it's soft pallet, vulnable, sits a small missive tied with a red ribbon...
...the lizards always come at night. Which is as you commanded. It took some time to break them from the yuanti-control, but breaking is something you do well. With your hands. But tonight they are late. They arrive with your "delicacies", with your amusements, but they bring something else as well. They bow in complete subservience as you sit before them in lotus stance, and they deliver a missive tied with a red ribbon...
...a dozen youths sleep nearby. Today was a good day. Master Hedges herself visited the monestary and honored the novices with a lesson. But something is lacking, here. The years pass and you learn and grow wise but something is missing. Something compelling. As you meditate and ponder this you hear movement in the room. Your eyes blink open to spy a blur of movement, a man in crimson, flash through and out the open chamber door. By your side on your bedroll sits a tiny missive tied with a red ribbon..._
A call spreads through the lands of Narfell. A call to those with unyielding inspiration, with talents and potential unmet. A call to monks, to martial artists, to philosophers of mind and body…a summons, to present themselves before the Master Woo Fen.**

Maralina smiles icily.

Maralina sat, in the lotus position and naked in the snow of the hills to the north of norwick enjoying the sensation of the cold seeping into her too often warm body. The red blindfold, worn now for over a year still tied in place about her eyes, the robes the Master had given her upon passing the first test within easy reach. She had been here a day and a night, contemplating whether she should finally give up on the hopes of a further summons. And then somone dropped a letter into her lap. She had not heard them arrive and she did not hear them leave, her keen hearing losing any noise in the wind through the pass. She felt the letter and the ribbon binding it, then checked again the texture of the binding around her eyes. The same. At last. She decided it was enough and lifted the blindfold, blinking even in the moonlight as her eyes struggled to cope after a years of blindness. She read the missive and in a simgle movement was standing. She pulled the robe back on, and set out.

_The mountains near Ormpur were tall, the skies clear, the air thin. Two breaths where one was normally needed; a perfect training ground. And also peaceful. A place to meditate, to observe the arising of thoughts and emotions, and learn to let them go once more. To understand, to find focus. To learn to ask the right questions.
But solitude can only bring so much. And so, when the small missive, tied with a red ribbon arrived, Yu Shei began to make her preparations for the journey west once more._
((Er…this should be in the Jiyyd forums. Doof.))
