The sun slowly begins to peek its way over the horizon. As the first rays begins to climb there way up the Guild walls, a silhouette can be seen sitting atop the highest point of the guild.
The figure sits Indian style upon a board. This alone isn't strange. What is would be the fact that this board is perfectly balanced, on a narrow point. There is no sway, no jerky unbalanced movements. Just...serenity and tranquility.
The figure is slowly revealed as the sun finally crests and its rays wash over him.
It is Master Azulari.
As the beams climb there way up his face circles appear around his eyes. He remains unmoving though as he breathes ever so calmly in and out. He collects and stores the natural energy from around the area.
Down upon the guilds walls...etched deeply within the stone a few quotes begin to appear. They are revealed only by the suns solar rays or the light of the moon. The words glow blue with an eerie and yet soothing effect.
"Life is tough! That's a given.
When you stand up, you're gonna be shoved back down.
When your down, you're gonna be stepped on.
My advice to you doesn't come with a lot of bells and whistles.
It's no secret you'll fall down… you'll stumble… you'll get pushed… you'll land square on your face.
But every time that happens,
You get back on your feet.
You get up just as fast as you can.
No matter how many times you need to do it.
Remember this.
Success has been and continues to be defined as getting up one more time, then you've been knocked down.
If experience has taught me anything, it's that nothing is free, and living ain't easy!
Life is hard.
Real hard.
Incredibly hard.
You fail more often than you win.
Nobody's handing you anything.
It's up to you to puff up your chest, stretch your neck, and overcome all the difficult… the nasty…... the mean…...the unfair.
You want more than you have now?
Prove it!
You want to be the very best there is?
Get out there and earn it!
Once you decide that, you will know where it is you want to be.
And you won't stop pushing forward until your get there!
THAT'S HOW WINNERS ARE MADE.
At the end of the day, success is what we all want.
We all wanna win.
And, the race will be won.
There is no question about that.
So come on…
Get out on top.
Run faster.
Dream bigger.
Live better than you have ever before.
This is in you!
You can do this!
Do it for yourself!
Prove it to yourself!"
Then the second...
"It's easy to feel hopeful on a beautiful day like today, and that's great...But there will be dark days ahead of us too. There will be days when you feel all alone...and that, is when hope is needed most. No matter how buried it gets or how lost you feel you must promise me that you will hold on to hope...Keep it alive...
You have to be greater then what you suffer.
My wish for you is to become hope. People need that. And even if you fail, what better way is there to live? As you look around you at all the people who have made you who you are it may feel like saying good bye. But, you will carry a piece of each and every one of them into everything that you do next.
To remind you of who you are...and of who you're meant to be...
So hold on to hope, share hope...Be. Hope."
Master Azulari slowly opens his eyes and smiles...
Today was the official birth of his Guild.
"WELCOME ALL...TO DRACONIAN STAR!"
