Unlike so many of the poor orphaned younglings who have now grown into adventuring connisseurs, my history compared to theirs is rather dull to the taste and lacks the somewhat common element of dead or forgotten parents. `Ji I was born in wilderness, close to the gates of Buya but shrouded from nosey city eyes. Both father and mother were Druids and thus trained me very well in the, what some may call religious, Druid arts. At a young age I grew accustomed to the Druid festivals, Imbolc, Beltane, Samhuin, and Lughnasadh. I enjoyed seeing all the new faces and different walks of life from the cities, but other Druids did not. You could say this was the original spark of my inquisitive nature. Druid Elders found me nosy and sometimes my thirst for knowledge got me into trouble. Alas I grew older and the Druids found that my knowledge grew unrivaled to their own. I was ascended into a leadership position in the path; to teach and mold the fledgling Druids with my knowledge about not only Druids, but the kingdoms we live in as well. The days of Druid knowledge have come and gone, my travels have brought me near and far, to and fro, and there and back again. I have decided that although the Druids and their lifestyles, their knowledge, and the gifts they have given me will remain with me forever... that thirst for knowledge has never been quenched and I seek more. I took a particular fancy to the teachings of the Monk's in Koguryo during a visit to their happenings once. I would attend several gatherings they hosted and even took a step towards inner peace with one of their elders. I can't say that I have always felt a calling towards the Monks, but I find that by learning their lifestyle, I may grow and understand the next chapter of my life. I may appreciate that the Druids were always a welcome home and had welcome faces, I may appreciate that my life in the wilderness and the Kingdoms has been fortunate, and I may find out that my thirst for knowledge is a wonderful ally in the times ahead. Some call me an Inquisitor... but I'd rather be known as simply having a curious mind. So that is where my life has taken me. I now write to you in hopes that I may learn another lifestyle, one of deep patience and virtue. `Ji |
