I would like to extend my greetings to the people of Worlds' End. Some of you I have already had the honor of meeting, but many I have not. My name is Phoson Ashoka, and I am a sailor and tradesman from a land known as Creation, born in the Eastern Riverlands ( Read more... )

Martial Arts? I don't really know much about unarmed fighting, but I'm a pretty good swordsman.

Maybe we can exchange teaching. I know which end of a sword to hold, but that's about it, but I've been fighting unarmed since I was a young child.

We just need to find you a sword and a suit of armor, then. Hopefully it won't be too hard to find a spare set around here. When would you be ready to begin, if I can get my hands on equipment?

withoutsorrow June 15 2009, 02:08:27 UTC

I'm not busy. We could start right away.

dragon_savior June 15 2009, 02:11:35 UTC

Good to hear. I'm Ryu.

withoutsorrow June 15 2009, 02:13:33 UTC

It's good to meet you, Ryu. Where are you from?

dragon_savior June 15 2009, 02:14:31 UTC

From a little farming community called McNeil, you?

withoutsorrow June 15 2009, 02:15:49 UTC

The Riverlands. I'm not sure if that means anything to you, but it's in the east of my world.

dragon_savior June 15 2009, 02:20:32 UTC

It doesn't ring any bells, I'm afraid.

withoutsorrow June 15 2009, 02:31:53 UTC

Oh well.

Where'd you learn to use a sword? A teacher, or family?

dragon_savior June 15 2009, 02:39:47 UTC

[A slight pause.]

Both, in a way.

withoutsorrow June 15 2009, 03:40:22 UTC

Tell me about them.

dragon_savior June 15 2009, 03:41:47 UTC

One of them is here, his name is Rei. He found me when I was a kid, and took me back to his home. There's Teepo, too, but...

[His tone changes, sounding quite grim.]

He's no longer with us.

withoutsorrow June 15 2009, 03:51:53 UTC

I'm sorry.

We're in the same boat. My father - the one who taught me hand-to-hand, at first - is no longer with us either.

We can only do their lives justice by passing on their teaching and their memories.

dragon_savior June 15 2009, 03:53:04 UTC

It's not like you had a hand in what happened.

I... never knew what having parents is like. Rei and Teepo are all I ever had.

withoutsorrow June 15 2009, 04:02:19 UTC

It sounds like you have a story to tell. I'd like to hear it, if you want to tell me.
