Like a great many things in this word, the art of being in control of oneself is hard to understand and master. It is a teaching that has been passed down around the galaxy through many generations, many different views circulating the universe about how best to channel ones own power, and the desire to expand it. The ancient race of Saiyans would have you believe it is a detrimental part of existence to seek to expand your might, through force or otherwise. The more pacifistic people of Avalon would have you know that ones own power is only useful when used in moderation and with the goal of common advancement, and that knowledge is the ultimate form of this power. But wherein lies the true secret of this strange presence in all of us we know as Ki? How do we learn of its use as we learn to know it and control it, and how exactly is it decided that some of us are more proficient than others in utilizing it? Is it by random chance that we find ourselves consumed by our own might should we attain too much, or is there one great presence that fills us all with this limited idea of godliness? What is the driving force behind all life, and what does it attempt to show us by distributing this power of life, and this power in life? If you are still reading, I must have piqued your interest. It is probable that you yourself are one of us who has found this strength, this Ki, within yourself, and it is likely that you do not fully understand that question that haunts all of us. Why? Why you? Why do you possess this power and others do not? Why are you special? Are you even special by this definition? And then of course, the inevitable, why is my power limited to what it is? It is a natural train of thought that flows through all of us, and all of us have sought and found ways to increase this power within. But there is a price to be paid, a greater price for some than others, but a price nonetheless. What is this price, you wish to know, do you not? Of course you do, for you will be one of many that will pay it in the end. But fear not, for as inevitable as the end is, your power will protect you until then. And none know when the end will be. It is a comfort I do not share with you, my friend. I know my end, for I have seen it, and even as I write this, with my trusted quill, I can feel it drawing close. But not yet, my friend. I still have a great deal to write, and you still have a great deal to read. But, let us start at the logical start. My name is Sandro, and this is the tale of my end. |

As it is common, stories such as mine tend be be overly complicated. There are those who would have you know everything there was to know of their plight, in keeping with chronicling their adventurous souls. However, what has transpired in my long life heretofore has not affected what will happen to me once my work is done. Much of who I was, I still am, and much of what I did I still do. In short, one could say that my life has been one of odds and numbers - chance as much as decision has led me to where I am now. This, though, I probably should explain. I am currently locked away within the depths of a dark and damp dungeon, built and guarded by those who would prefer they were the only ones with the power you and I share. I have seen their end as well, but I fear mine will come before then. I am to be executed as soon as my work on this tome is done, and although the thought not to write this book has indeed crossed my mind, it would be testament to a certain form of cowardice that is thought of as dishonorable. So what is left for me now? Just to write and maintain my health as I do so. I am well guarded, yet taken good care of. This tome serves a purpose to my captors, and I tend to keep writing it in hopes of learning what that purpose may be. If I eventually do, I will of course share this information - it may be of help to you, stranger. How it got to be so that I was locked away here is a different matter altogether, and as I pointed out earlier it was a combination of chance and decisions. Whether or not different decisions could have diverted this fate, I do not know. It seems these days all I can do is look ahead. I will try to look behind, however, to aid you in understanding what exactly it is that flows through your veins. To do that, we need not necessarily start at the beginning of my studies, but it would be wise to do so regardless. You may better understand me, if not the Ki itself. |

The origins of my life lie in a small, sovereign nation known to most people on Earth as Arden, to the north of the great continent I find myself entrapped on these days. The tales of my early youth elude me, as even my enlightened mind cannot hope to enclose the memories I would have of my first years. The earliest strands of my life take place in my late singular years; I was eight or maybe nine years old when I first knew that I may have been special outside of the meaning my parents gave to the word. My mother was obviously surprised when I seemed to punch a man attempting to rob me and her. The reason she was surprised is I was not within range of physical contact, and the punch sent the man flying. At that time the only response my mother could muster was to lift me up and make a run from the interested looks we got from the townsfolk. From that point on, my parents always told me to keep this gift a secret from the people in my country; they did not understand what it was and would label me a freak of nature and attempt to harm me. I knew even then that I could protect myself better than they could themselves against me. But ones parents are obviously a factor in ones decisions in early life, so I did as they asked, but practiced to control these powers as I grew in years. By my fifteenth birthday I found myself able to concentrate this power into the ability of flight - something I found my later students could do within weeks had taken me a number of years. This is also a reason I'm detailing my experiences for you. I imagine that in your age, everything involving Ki goes so much faster than my first experiences with it. These things take one slow start, as it would seem, but once the ball gets rolling downhill, the only option is to go faster. In a way, you might look at my words and mistake me for one weak and frail in the arts of cosmic energy, being one so early in its development within human beings, but make no mistake in your assumptions, as you will find that I later became one of the greatest forces this universe had ever known, both to my delight and despair. |
