I was born to a Gypsy and a fisherman, in the kingdom of Paekje. Soon after my father, the fisherman, had passed away, a corrupt sect of police from the Paekje Royal Army noticed my mother was alone, and captured her and forced her to become a harlot. I, barely a child of the age of 3, was handed to the home of a blacksmith. At the attack of the Shilla, the blacksmith who raised me went to fight for Paekje. I took over his armory until I heard news of his death. Upon hearing news of the tragic event, I gave up a life as a smith to learn how to prevent this from happening to others. That was my main priority when I set out, to protect others and to prevent wars from happening in the first place? but on one night when I was meditation beneath a bodhi tree; I reached into my soul deeper than I ever tried before? I unlocked an archive that contained an immeasurable amount of color and memories. I have travelled the land in search of the answer, the answer to all these thoughts and the ideas that have provoked them. The most recent of these memories involved what I believe to be in the later 30's of King Yuri's rule. I am reminded of a foolish person - how little that person knew and how much it reflected in his behavior. His acts, as well as his unflattering karma convinced the gods to put him back on this earth to right his wrongs. He is me. I have journeyed the lands until I finally happened upon this small kingdom - Nexus, the Kingdom of Winds. It struck a nerve somewhere deep inside me - pictures, oh so many and oh so vivid ran through my head. There were several aspects that were keen to this vicious reminder - Kugnae's Great Palace, the vast wilderness, Buya's colorful patrons. I knew this is what I was looking for, the answers I sought. Since my arrival, I have embarked on a journey, a sojourn, if you will, to understand these memories better. Along the way, I have found several families that I feel naturally accepted into, the Shaman, the Rangers, and even the Chongun... They had to do with my past, and possibly further past lives. Bits and pieces of my path have been answered, and yet with each step I discover another hidden path, other possible lives I've lived, and other possible mistakes I've made. This is my journey to discover myself, while helping other travelers along the way. This is my journey to become enlightened. ~ Enlighten |
