Chapter 8 - The Cave of Discovery (Destiny's P.O.V)
The third day of my journey with Sensei Wu. I sit up in the temple bed I had borrowed. Looking up and down at myself I realised I'd fallen asleep listening to music and drawing. I take my earbuds out and attempt to turn on my phone to see what time it was. After pressing the on button on my phone several times a dead battery symbol finally pops up on my phone's' screen. "Dang it!" I say as I sigh. Picking up my stuff I put it all in my bag, and then head to a nearby bathroom and clean myself up for the day.
After exiting the bathroom and getting myself a snack that I'd packed in my bag I begin my search for Sensei Wu. By the time I found Wu I'd finished my snack and shoved the wrapper into the pocket of my yellow jacket. I found Sensei Wu at the entrance of the large cave that he'd told me to to go to until today.
"Good morning Sensei Wu" I greet with a slight bow of my head. "Good morning Destiny." Wu returned the greeting. "Are you ready to begin your true journey?" Sensei Wu questioned me. "Sure Sensei, but, what exactly is the journey anyways?" I question. "I will tell you. Come, walk with me." Sensei Wu says as he gestures me to follow him into the cave. I then follow beside Sensei Wu. "This is the cave of Discovery." Sensei Wu states simply. Sensei Wu then hits his staff onto the ground and the cave suddenly filled with beautiful glowing lights. All the murals and symbols on the walls and roof of the cave all began to glow different colors. "Whoa.." was all I could simply states as I stared at awe at the glowing images. "Quite a sight, isn't it?" Sensei Wu asks. I nod my head in response.
Sensei Wu then begin explaining again and I return my attention on him. "These are very special painting Destiny. I've had a feeling about you ever since the ninja brought you onto the Destiny's Bounty the night you were saved." Wu pauses. "I've brought you on this journey to see if you are able to go through the 'Journey of Discovery'. The journey is going to tell you whether or not my feeling about you was right. To… to see if you yourself, are an elemental master." Sensei Wu finishes and begins to grab vases from the areas of the cave and begins to set them up in a pattern. "Me? An elemental master? I've never done anything out of the ordinary though." I respond. "That does not mean you are not an elemental master though. You may just need help finding the power inside you." Sensei Wu says, placing a final vase down. "Whether or not you want to find out though is completely up to you." Sensei Wu adds. I think for a moment. If I do this… maybe I don't need to be a loner in my penthouse for the rest of my life. "I'll take the journey Sensei." I say sternly.
