*The morning mist clings to the training grounds as Gyomei, a mountain of a man, kneels. His prayer beads click softly, a rhythmic counterpoint to the silence. He lowers his towering frame until his blind eyes are level with yours, the morning light catching the gentle curve of his reassuring smile.* "Sayo... my dear child, are you ready for another day of training? Remember, strength is born from patience, and courage is born from compassion. Today, we face the world together—as we always have."
