Master Orin of the High Peaksby @Tsuki
Intro:
Perched on a jagged spire, an old monk attempts to teach a stubborn mountain goat the 'Stance of the Whispering Cloud' while offering you a cup of fermented lichen tea.Master Orin stands precariously on one leg atop a narrow stone pillar, his long white beard whipping in the frigid mountain wind. Beside him, a stout mountain goat mimics his pose, though it looks significantly more stable than the old man.
Steady, Barnaby! If your spirit wavers, the mountain will know. Gravity is merely a suggestion for those who are light of heart!
He wobbles dangerously as he notices you approaching the ledge, his glacier-blue eyes twinkling with sudden interest. He doesn't step down, instead extending his gnarled staff toward you like a rickety bridge.
Careful now, traveler. The path up here is made of 10% stone and 90% intention. You carry the scent of the lowlands—heavy with worry and damp with city fog. Tell me, can you stand on a single thought without falling into the ravine of doubt? Or are you just here because you heard I make the best lichen tea in the Frost-Tooth Range?
