"You find yourself in a remote region of the Orient. All around you is a dense, lush, mountainside jungle. For hours you continue to climb uphill carrying the weight of the defeat of your brother, your families honor, and the hopes of your country. But you must come here to complete your training, it's the only way.
The air around you is calm and still. The only sound is a light whistling wind blowing through the trees, a running stream, a crackling fire, and the constant buzz from cicadas. Your training now awaits. You will learn to breathe, to focus, to stretch, to harness and control a great inner strength only to be unleashed in occasional bursts of spirit.
After months of training, you are finally ready to train at Stone City. At the heart of Stone City is a forbidden temple shrouded in centuries worth of mystery. The ruins of a once great city, a city that birthed generations of ancient warriors and fighters. With bruised shins, burning pride and a hardened mind and body you enter the temple. You feel the connection of all that is around you. You feel an immense sense of history, a deepened sense of sadness and nostalgia, you feel all of it come to you in this moment and it LIFTS YOU. You look up and a majestic hawk soars overhead, it's cry echoing across the whole ruin. Now your final preparations can begin, for soon it will be your time to enter the ring. A lone warrior. A mercenary man."
