Doan woke suddenly when he felt something wet and cold splash in his face. He quickly realized it was starting to rain. It had only been a few days since he left the only home he knew to make his own path in the world. The wind was slowly picking up as he gathered the few belongings he managed to gather before he fled. Droplets of water burst all around him as they hit the ground, which made him only wish he had brought something to keep him dry. With a sigh of frustration Doan began his long trek to the nearest city and a quick pace.

He ran for quite some time before the rain increased in intensity which made him think twice about being out in it. He quickly took cover under a tree nearby to escape the drenching downpour. “Great, I can’t seem to get a break at all.” He glanced down the road when he suddenly noticed a light in the distance. It quickly got closer before he realized it was a car. As the vehicle approached it slowed down, Doan figured the driver must wonder why anyone would be out here in this weather. Sure enough the car stopped near his shelter and the driver rolled down his window just enough to shout.

A deep voice bellowed out from inside the car. “What the hell are you doing way out here? Get in I’ll give you a lift.” Puzzled why anyone would stop for a complete stranger Doan slowly approached the car, however the downpour quickly washed away any caution he may have had as he quickly ran and climbed into the passenger seat. Doan shivered as he heard the man speak. “So, what’s your name?” He reached over and turned on the heater. Feeling the warm air was great compared to freezing in his wet clothes. Doan turned and looked at him as he spoke, “Doan.”

The man appeared to be in his mid fifties from the looks of it. He wore a navy blue suit and tie, his hair was graying with black here and there. His bright blue eyes had a hard look to them as if there was more to him than just a suit. There was a slight smell on the man’s breath that Doan couldn’t quite place. The man was giving Doan a hard stare, oblivious to the road as he drove. “From the looks of you, you’re a martial artist.” Doan glanced down at his training gi and pants and slowly shook his head. The driver glanced back at the road. Something didn’t seem quite right about the man, but Doan couldn’t quite place it. Doan couldn’t sense anything obvious about the man, he felt as strong as any other average human.

As he leaned close to the vent to warm himself the driver spoke again, “Are you a student of Master Roshi?” This took Doan completely by surprise.
Doan: “No, I actually don’t know where he resides though I have heard of him.” He thought back to all the times his uncle talked about famous martial artists and the familiar pain of regret filled his heart again.
Driver: “I see.” He glanced at Doan for a moment. “Might be worth seeking him out he lives on a small island about a week long trip from our destination.” Doan pondered the wisdom in such action and quickly agreed. “I’ll do just that, thank you.” The driver nodded as Doan looked out and began to stare at the passing scenery. The remainder of the trip passed in Silence.

The car came to an abrupt stop which jolted Doan awake. He yawned as he glanced out the window only to see sand and lots of water. As he set forward he slowly scanned the beach. “Master Roshi is around here?” Doan glanced back out across the water. “Yes, he resides on an island,” the driver pointed in a direction to prove his point. Doan squinted as he stared in that direction “Is there a boat…” He was quickly interrupted by the driver, “No, you’re going to have to swim.” Doan didn’t finish his question as he gave the man a questioning look. “Swim…” The driver nodded as he opened the door and slowly got out of the car. “Follow me there is something I would like to see first.

There was a sudden change in the man’s demeanor that left Doan feeling a little concerned; however he followed the man towards the water. About ten feet from the water the man suddenly unbuttoned his jacket and took it off in one smooth motion. Doan glanced towards the jacket as the man said, “Think fast.” Before Doan knew it the jacket nearly smacked him in the face; however he lowered into a crouch and leaned slightly to the right to avoid the throw. The man was ready for him however and Doan barely had enough time to bring his hands up and block the man’s knee from impacting his face. The blow sent Doan sliding back a few inches and pain shot down his arms.

Only his training saved him from the next blow as he rolled backwards on instinct avoiding a low sweeping kick from the left. Doan then quickly pushed forward with his left foot launching himself towards the man. As he neared he pivoted on his right spinning slightly and aimed a kick directly at the man’s stomach. Doan felt satisfaction as he felt his foot connect. His satisfaction was short lived as he realized it had connected with the man’s hand and not his stomach. Doan had little time to react as the man backhanded him. The force of the blow took Doan completely by surprise as it sent him flying back only to land in the water.

There was a taste of blood in his mouth as Doan forced himself up into a crouching position when suddenly he felt something odd with the man. His strength seemed to be surging. What he saw next took him completely by surprise. The man’s left hand was glowing…no it wasn’t glowing. The man was forming a small ball of energy. The light of the orb barely illuminated a slight grin on the man’s face. “Let us see how you deal with this,” and with a move to quick for Doan to see the man hurled the ball of energy at him. Not entirely sure what to do Doan jumped to the left as the orb of energy narrowly missed him.

With a slight smirk he turned and looked at the man and started to speak. However he was interrupted as the water where the orb impacted suddenly started to swell. Before he knew what was happening he was hit by the force of the explosion and sent flying only to land a short distance away. As the water engulfed him he had enough time to wonder if he should have listened to his uncle more when he talked about things such as this. Before darkness started tugging at the corners of his vision he had enough time to wish he hadn’t slacked off in his training so much.

Light slowly returned to Doan’s vision as he coughed up some water. As he rolled over onto his back he figured he was on shore based on the taste of sand in his mouth. When he could clearly see it took him a few moments to notice it was actually dark outside. He groaned slightly. “How long was I out for?” He glanced around to see if the guy was still around but he was nowhere to be seen. Doan let out a laugh that was cut short as pain shot down his side.

Guess I’d better get a fire going before I get sick.” He ignored the pain shooting through his limbs as he forced himself to his feet. After an hour of searching he managed to find a good bit of dried out driftwood. With a bit of effort a fire was soon blazing and his clothes were well on their way to drying. He lay there all night, not able to get settle his thoughts. “Well at least it’s not raining.” He slowly rose and started walking towards the water.

When the sun started peeking over the horizon Doan rose and walked towards the water. He yawned loudly as he started walking down the beach in an attempt to calm his mind. So much has happened to him and his path brought him here. As he continued to reflect on his problems he sat on the sand watching the water splash towards him then quickly recede back into the sea. He still felt a little disappointed about the previous night. With a thud he lay on his back looking up at the sky watching a bird flying into a strong wind blowing in from the water.

I wonder why we fight against odds like that; so much effort for so little gain.” Of course he didn’t expect the bird to answer. Compared to the constant rainfall the day before the weather was much more pleasant. The sky was a light shade of blue without so much as a single cloud in sight. With a loud yawn he closed his eyes. As he relaxed as he pondered the wisdom of sleeping in such a place.

(Events following this post : I have no intention of trying to get the word count off the spar. I am just using those events in this personal roleplay.)

By the time Doan woke it was already early morning. He quickly packed his camp site up before he stared out across the water. He wondered if Master Roshi was really out there, or if the man had tried to trick him. He let out a deep sigh. “I guess there is only one way to find out.” Over the next few minutes he stretched in preparation for the long swim to come. He slowed his breathing before he dove into the water. He kept to a pace he knew he could keep up all day in the event he was unable to find the island.

Three hours later Doan started to get worried. There was no sight of an island anywhere. It was a frightening thought but perhaps he missed the island. He refused to even consider the other possibility. That possibility was the man had lied to him and sent him out here to die. He glanced around as he kept himself afloat in the water. In every direction he looked there was only water. After he oriented himself based on the position of the sun he started swimming in what he figured was parallel to the shore. There was a good chance he simply got off course at some point.

By the time he covered what had to be the entire area the island could have been the sun had started to vanish on the horizon. Once again he swam in place and glanced around. “Damn if only I could fly this would be so much easier.” As he swam back to shore he felt frustrated. There was also fear starting to build in the back of his thoughts. The feeling only grew with each moment. His pace had slowed considerably due to the length of time he had spent in the water. A feeling of relief washed over him as he finally caught sight of land. However his relief was short lived as his muscles cramped up and his pace slowed considerably.

Before he knew it he was swept under by a current of the rising tide. His exhaustion had taken its toll on his body. Doan was unable to fight his way to the surface. Water filled his lungs when he was forced to gasp for air. As his vision began to dim the last thing he saw was a dark shape that moved toward him at a quick pace.

As Doan began to regain consciousness he heard people talking around him. The world was still dark to him as he was on the verge of regaining consciousness. “Look what I found; did he think he was a fish or something?” A different voice spoke up this time. “From the way he looks I would assume he was seeking me out. I guess we shall know soon. He’s waking up.”

Slowly he opened his eyes only to find it was still dark. As the world came into focus Doan found himself staring at the night sky. Two blurry figures were standing over him. Comprehension of his situation began to take hold of Doan. As he tried to sit up one of the figures stopped him and said, “Take it easy you nearly drowned out there.” Doan leaned back on the ground and realized an old man was standing over him. He was balk and had a white beard.

The man was wearing a very vibrant shirt and a pair of shorts. The only thing covering his feet was a pair of sandals. He was leaning on a wooden cane as he looked down on Doan. The other was not even human. It was actually a sea turtle. Upon seeing he was ok the turtle turned and crawled back into the water. He disappeared under the dark depths of the waves. Upon hearing the man speak Doan glanced up. “So tell me what were you doing swimming out there?” It took a few moments before he could form any words. “I was searching for a small island that I was told Master Roshi resided on.”

The man smirked slightly. “Well it’s a good thing we found you first. I am Master Roshi.” Doan looked the man up and down before suddenly he realized what he just heard. Doan set up and bowed. “I am here to seek your guidance and training. Will you train me?” Doan stared at the ground while waiting for Roshi’s judgment. “Hmmm, well I suppose I could see if you would be worth training. For now get some rest. You’re going to need it.” Without another word Roshi turned and walked into the small house behind him. With no other choice Doan found a small place near the house and slept.
