~Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses~
-Lao Tzu
Prince Jalan released a groan of relief as he finally stepped out of the maple courtyard. The king had given strict orders that Prince Jalan was not permitted to exit his quarters until the recommended time duration of his meditation was up. It had been a trying few days but Prince Jalan admitted it had done him good. Prince Jalan could feel the energetic circulation of his spiritual essence, his power markings pulsed with a healthy glow that proved the warrior was back to top condition.
Prince Jalan willed his power markings to disappear. The slight glimpse of glowing swirls that were visible in the area of his neck left uncovered by his robes vanished instantly.
