Tien carefully picked Raiden up and put him in the shade under the tree. "That is something you should have told me about." Tien said seriously as he stood up and went into a state of deep thought. "From what I have seen you are both very strong physically, and have a good grasp of the basics of kung fu... but you need restraint, you need to practice wisdom and patience rather then just technique." Tien said was he looked from Ren to Raiden. "Todays lesson is complete... get some rest and see me again when the sun raises."[/i]
Raiden sat against the tree, his body as still as his silent companion. Where did we go wrong?
I didn't keep count.
And what did we learn?
There is no room for mistakes in battle.
Very good. And will we continue our training under the discipline of Master Tien?
I see no reason why not?
Very well than, you may rest. The dawn comes quickly for those who await the dusk. Raiden tilted his hat down over his face. He could slowly feel the pulse of the tree against his own. One, two, three, before setting away into an eternal bliss.
