On Maxwell Montes, the highest mountain on the planet located on Ishtar Terra continent is where Crimson, my casper, chose to teach me an important lesson. The Mont sits 11 km above the average Venusian surface height and to my knowledge holds no interest to the Fallen or to the Vex. "There are two historically important Ronin you need to be aware of, Miyamato Musashi and David Carradine. We will focus on Musashi today" Crimson began his lecture. I stifled a yawn and focused on moving a small rock with my mind. "The Ronin or 'wave man' was a socially adrift person disconnected from master and normal society during Japanese feudal times" The rock wouldn't move so I picked it up and threw it down hill. "Musashi in his own description of himself and his writings described himself as 'one who practiced many arts and abilities, all with no teacher." Crimson ignored the rock. "Then what do I need you for." I mumbled. "Ehem." He continued, pretending to clear a throat he never had, "though he indicated he had no teacher, please take note that it may be said that he had many teachers. For each of his wanderings prepared him for the world he occupied." "Boring." I sang in a high note. "B.", Crimson turned my way, "time to get over yourself" "I didn't ask for this." I said defensively. "Neither did Musashi. He grew up in a time of war, he cut down his first opponent before the age if 13." I could feel my void rising. The drum of the dark energy pushed me towards nova. "There is nothing left for me. To fight and die and fight and die for what!" I screamed. "For the city? Those poor bastards. For the consensus? Bickering old men. Oh, what about the Speaker? The Traveler? Are those the answers that you want to hear?" I begin to hover as the void made me weightless as space itself. I channelled the chaos through my arms ready to release the mini universe in all its fury." "To heal your own heart, B." Crimson whispered. My void burped and sputtered and I fell to the ground. "I don't know how.", I said through purple tears. "Musashi began to teach in the hour of the tiger." Crimson said softly, "that hour is now." So on that mountain the Spirit of Ronin was rekindled and the 'wave man' was reborn. Little did the darkness know it had more to fear. An excerpt from the book of Five Rings THERE ARE MANY ENEMIES There are many enemies applies when you are fighting one against many. Draw both sword and companion sword and assume a wide−stretched left and right attitude. The spirit is to chase the enemies around from side to side, even though they come from all four directions. Observe their attacking order, and go to meet first those who attack first. Sweep your eyes around broadly, carefully examining the attacking order, and cut left and right alternately with your swords. Waiting is bad. Always quickly re−assume your attitudes to both sides, cut the enemies down as they advance, crushing them in the direction from which they attack. Whatever you do, you must drive the enemy together, as if tying a line of fishes, and when they are seen to be piled up, cut them down strongly without giving them room to move.
