Why you left
What do you strive for
(e.g. enlightenment, strength, peak performance)
A temple purched on a 80° cliff, the people inside meditate oblivious to my presence. One looks old enough to have seen the Dragon War. Later they welcomed me to see a martial arts display where they shot arrows at eachother, but caught them before they hit everytime.
