The dust off the ancient tomb of knowledge makes Tse Cheung sneeze. He takes the large book and places it on his reading table. A single sputtering candle provides ample illumination for Tse. After an indeterminate amount of time Tse's eyes widen as he learns more of the unexpected disruption in the fabric of space and time. He leaves the book on the table and slowly moves out of the library. He passes through many stone-cut passages, with torches lighting the way casting eerie shadows across the walls. He comes to an iron bound door and politely knocks. A voice inside can be heard to say "Come in Tse." Obeying the voice Tse opens the heavy door. The room is bare except for two chairs and a table, in one of the chairs sits an old wrinkled man. He motions for Tse to sit down. "I have known for a while that it is your time to be free of the shackles of this monastery." The old man says in a low soothing voice. "I too have felt the disturbance in the fabric of our time. It seems that an evil warrior Citange, from the Clan Hurricane's Eye, has finally freed himself from the prison he has resided in." The old man paused searching for the spark of understanding in Tse's eyes. "Go on" intoned Tse. The old man smiled, "It is unknown what caused the destruction of the Clan Hurricane's Eye, however some knowledge of the clan remained intact. It seems that not all their members where destroyed. In scorched ancient documents the Shadow Clan managed to find out that many of the clan members where imprisoned in another dimension, why this was done is unknown but we now know that it was so." "A Report came to us that five shadow warriors were killed in the town of Carmen. The work was carried out by one man who seemed to appear out of thin air." Tse interrupted the old wise man ----------"Matar, I have already decided to go to Carmen, it seems that my destiny is entwined with this demon Citange. I have already packed my sword Demon Stalker and I see little reason for anymore delay. Please pray for guidance there is little more to say, goodbye." "Wait" came the old man's cry, but Tse paid little heed. He rushed to his own simple room to collect his sword, Demon Stalker, and then proceeded to the monastery door. Two initiates saw the approaching warrior priest and opened the door as he approached. As Tse passed the initiates one said "Walk in shadows Lord." Tse was blinded by the strong sun. He started down the mountain path one hand shielding his eyes. Demon Stalker glinting in the Sun. ----------
