He sat aboard the ship carrying all his hopes. Along the way, he passed through one kingdom after another and met one person after another.
Some clung to justice, only to eventually fall into darkness. Some chased money, only to be consumed by their own ambition. Others were full of burning passion and eventually set out on the path to becoming kings. Some devoted themselves to the sword, proving their unmatched samurai spirit with blood and scars. Some lost themselves in a vortex of darkness, only to find companions who would accept them. And some once told lie after lie, until every boast they had made came true.
He looked back and saw the companions aboard the ship who had followed him. They saw him too, and in the end, every word gave way to one radiant smile.
We cannot choose to live in a peaceful and prosperous age. But no matter what darkness surrounds you, remember: you may be humble as dust, but never twisted like a maggot.
