Zokiro rose from her own meditations, refreshed after being able to quiet her mind in the grotto sent into the mountains. Yet something had hovered at the edge of her peace, a faint hint of a shadow, that made her concerned. She crossed to the master and knelt, bowing before him. She waits until he has acknowledged her before speaking.
"Master, I sought peace in the grotto, as you had bade me, and found quiet and stillness there. Yet a shadow sought to intrude upon my mind, one that seemed to be hovering from without, rather than within. Master, has their been a disturbance in the earth that your greater wisdom has sensed? I have worked hard at my arts, but there is much I have yet to learn and much more I have yet to experience," she says respectfully.
