Chapter 12 - Takahashi - 3 (End)

'.....whoa... Sensei, I need you to teach me....'. said the boy. 'Teach you what!!!! My wife already told you the method, right? All you have to do now is practice!! Meditate!! Focus!! It's a long way to activating the first Chakra, really short one to activating the rest!! Go ahead...try it!!!'

.

.

The boy (without wasting anymore time) went far away from the village, deep into the forests high up in the mountains... He began his meditation with utmost dedication, sitting on a flat stone, for hours on end...

.

.

Just when he thought his reflexes were getting sharper, he thought he should test himself, but, according to his plan he had to sit down for the longest amount of time he could give to meditation. He kept at it for as long as he could, after two days of continuous meditation, he felt a strong heat inside his stomach, close to the navel. The heat started as a point source but started growing little by little, until finally, it dispersed in his body, through the veins in his spiritual body...

.

.

He could now feel no pain or discomfort in meditating for such long hours. He felt he could sit for as long as he liked now...he wanted to.....

.

.

he continued his meditation, after 2 more days he felt another point sourced heat right above the one he had felt before, when it dispersed, he could feel the movement of the wind and hear things from far away that he couldn't before, this process kept going on for two weeks.

.

Everytime he felt a heat source higher that the last one, he achieved some new ability, the final and the 7th source was on the very top centre of his head.....

.

.

He immediately knew that he had reached the pinnacle of his meditation, so he slowly opened his eyes after a time of two weeks, but what he saw shocked him....

.

he was nowhere close to where he sat down and began his meditation, he was inside a deep bamboo forest, and in front of him was a pathway. The pathway lead him upwards as if a pathway to the top of a mountain.....

.

.

.....The more he advanced, the more serene and beautiful the landscape got, he kept climbing for a long time.....he was at a point where he felt the least amount of fatigue, so he kept climbing, finally he reached what seemed like a beautiful temple.....at the gates of the temple was heavenly beauty in the form of a woman dressed in a traditional kimono, inviting him to the temple, he went in but when he entered the temple itself, he saw that from inside was starting a well made staircase that was his way to reach higher.....on the beginning of it was another woman welcoming him.

.

He kept on going up the stairs, every flight had a most beautiful maiden showing him the path to reach higher. After long hours of ascending, he turned around to have a look at how high he had reached from the ground....

.

He was awestruck, his eyes were sparkling, it was the most beautiful scene he had ever witnessed. He was now way above the clouds....

.

Much further at the top of the mountain, it was now visible to him, a unnaturally large and beautiful castle, it's walls were shining, the climate around it was the most comforting, he made his way to the gates of the castle, each gate as high as 100 metres...

.

Standing outside were 50 young guards, standing there to welcome him into the castle, they pushed the gates open.....

.

He was welcomed by the most beautiful woman had ever seen, she, with her maidens escorted her through what seemed to be an enchanted old city, to the Divine palace, when he entered into the main courtyard of the palace he was surprised to see a gathering of godly people who looked like the royal officials. The announcer said, "ah, he's here, let the ceremony begin", he thought what ceremony could they be talking about.....

.

The girl who escorted her said,"This is a test of your abilities to prove yourself to the very gods that created, what you've harnessed, the essence of all human life, QI....

.

The boy was taken by surprise here, he had no idea of what he could do to prove himself, but the moment he began freaking out, the elder god said, " Calm down Child, ...BREATHE" .

.

The moment he said that, the boy felt a sudden surge of energy and confidence in himself.....

.

" Now, you have been summoned to this holy land, by us because you are one of the few warriors who have ever managed to activate their seventh Chakra, the last Chakra is ...

.

.

.

.

" THE GATEWAY TO HEAVEN"

.

.

.

Now I command you to show me that you're worth the entry to this holy land and the time of the gods, show your skills in physical and spiritual Martial Arts.....

.

The ceremony began the gods made him perform his art in unarmed combat, then right after that weaponry, and when they were satisfied with his abilities, the last thing they asked of him, was to meditate, and activate his third eye Chakra.....

.

After he did what was asked of him, without opening his eyes he felt a fireball coming towards him.....it was an attack from the war martial, standing there along side the gods...

.

He immediately jumped almost 7 metres high to dodge the ball, without opening his eyes....

.

when he opened his eyes, he saw a smile on everyone's face, even the war martial himself, and a nod of acceptance on the Elder god's face....he had passed the test...

.

The Elder said, " You, that have come to the holy land and passed the test of the gods, I now, welcome you to be the student of the most honorable War Martial, practice under him as your mentor and become the warrior chosen by the gods to protect your world."

.

The War Martial said to the boy, " Identify yourself, son."

.

The boy replied, " Jinko....

.

. JINKO TAKAHASHI"
