Chapter 90 - Chapter 92 (2/2)

Dragon and Gyatso were sitting inside of his home, which was just a simple hud like building. Very simple in design, like almost everything around this temple was.

”Elder Gyatso, please tell me what it is called when you control the wind as you all do.”

”It's not about control. It's about balance. And that is clearly something you are struggling with.”

”hm, I have been seeking something like that for a long time. But every time I came close to figuring it out, suddenly it was nowhere to be found.” Dragon had some actual frustration in his voice.

”Go figure. Dragon, it is not about figuring something out. We can never figure out what we are or the purpose we carry. So you have gotten this wrong from the start,”

”Then would you please enlighten me on this. I am so lost that I don't know if I will ever make it out.”

”It is about acceptance. Ones you accept yourself and what you are, you will find balance in your life.”

”It's that simple? I doubt that.” Dragon tried and keep calm even though he felt the frustration in himself build up.

”Simple? No! Definitely not, not for you, not for any one of us. You have a lot to accept about yourself, all the blood on your hands. Was it spilt for the right reasons? Or is there even a right reason. I feel these are the questions that are most pressing for you to answer.”

Dragon's eyes went wide in shock when he heard what Gyatso said. This old Monk had completely seen through him in ways he didn't understand.

”How can you see so much of me? No one has ever been able to see through me like that before.”

”When you spend a lifetime dedicated to all of this. You pick up a few things.” Gyatso looked around his simply designed home.

”How cryptic. Guess I earned that one.” Dragon sighed after not getting the straight answer he sought.

”Dragon, I will teach you the meditation technique that we practice here. You can stay in this temple for as long as you wish. I can't do much when it comes to guiding you. As a human, you can only learn to accept yourself by facing yourself alone.”

Gyatso and Dragon looked at each other and Dragon kindly accepted the offer to stay here. This place was a good location to start his journey.

”Then we will start now. Listen up as I will now teach you our meditation practice.” Gyatso and Dragon went to work right away. And Dragon was feeling that the slight excitement from before he arrived here had come back to fill him up.
