The Sleeping Dragon

Yesterday was indeed fascinating. An interesting culture, one I researched much into today, but the curse plagued us with many unsavory events, such as seems to be most frequently in their nature. Slavery is truly an abhorrent practise, one that cannot be allowed, and to see my own student forced to work as such, a personal strike against me.

I believe I dealt with it as necessary, in the calm manner one must take in such situations. To give in to temper is to lose the ability to rationalise properly. So it is.

Indigo blue is obtained from the indigo plant, but such color is bluer than the plant itself. How true is this... as generations gain new wisdom, thus the disciple must one day surpass their master. I shall be glad to see Jiang Wei fulfill his potential and when I one day pass on, I shall surely watch him come to greatness from the heavens. Yes... so it shall be so. I am certain of it. I pray only that Lord Liu Chan's fearful nature does not damage Shu as he grows older. I am weary of such things, but in death there will be nothing I can do.

I must put my faith in the heavens, and hope that my student shall be allowed to fully utilise the potential he has for the sake of Shu.

Ah... a Ball. A time to meet new people and forge new bonds. It is a useful gathering in terms of widening one's net, and also for simple enjoyment. I do not think I shall be dancing, but I shall most certainly be there to talk and enjoy the atmosphere. Jiang Wei, the experience will be good for you too.

Attending this is an opportunity not to be missed. I could simply have sent my young student along, but there is nothing quite as wise as seeing and hearing for one's self. A chance to analyse as much of the City's folk as I can; learn something about how the different citizens are perceived to be. Anybody interested in such things would be fool to miss it.

I shall enjoy the company as well; it has been a while since I have been surrounded by so many, and I start to miss it.

After exploring this city and learning more about the way it works, and its inhabitants, I have decided I must look for work. I have great wisdom, logic and intellect; this is not an arrogant statement, simply truth. There is much in which I could assist and be of use. I hope, therefore, it does not take too long to fulfill this objective.

Jiang Wei, I do not wish you to find work, at least yet. You must dedicate yourself to your studies.

Sasaki Kojiro. You disappoint me, not turning up to duel me. For all your words, you were not able to back them up, were you? You shall not have another chance to slay this dragon, rest assured.

I shall explore the City today. Jiang Wei, you shall come with me. You need to see it, too.
