This place... was always so ominous to him. He could not tell why, but there was something in the air that just smelled fishy, something that god forbid he would ever try and be at ease he might end up dead the next moment. He did not know why this area itself such a stress, but for sure he could not really ignore it and just go by his day as if it was nothing. It pressed inside his every fiber like some kind of force that just told him to scream; was this his instinct? Did his instinct try to tell him this place was bad news after all?
"Ah, man... I could have picked another place, for real."
He lamented only to himself for his own ears were the only ones, at least as far as he could see from this distance. No other being apparently chose this as their tourist spot, well not that he could blame them of course. Neither would Bansho really be here if he did not seek actual change. What kind of change? Well, of course he sought to become greater. While partially until now he was under the notion that he was by far the strongest, perhaps he was only the strongest monkey. And by now there was the realization that he could not keep growing stronger if he limited his lifestyle to the things he had been doing until now.
Thus the monkey chose to indeed remain in this very place for the very reason that he was nearly tempted to just up and leave - it was against what made him feel comfortable. While in any other place it was more likely Bansho would just end up wasting time and then soon just indulging into procrastination, this place was stressful enough that most likely would have kept him on edge throughout the duration of his stay here.
"Alright..."
Eventually Bansho found a most suitable place right under what looked like to be a tree except it was so dry and far gone that there was no fruit or leaves, rather there was just him. Such a fitting place to train and get stronger, something that seemed to be a symbol of closure rather than a new beginning... sarcasm intended, of course. However by now he got here, and the travel was not all that pleasant, therefore he thought that he could at least try and get this over with, thus he began to think back during his time with the good ol' Hermit on the island.
At the time one of the first things he had him do was meditate, so perhaps that could be useful. Perhaps if this place was one of closure, it was time for a new beginning, one where Bansho would abandon the luxury and laziness and rather fight for what he sought. Yes, that did not sound too bad at all indeed. Thus the monkey sat, legs crossed and eyes closed, he reached out to the expanse that laid before him and to what laid within, focusing his ki.Thread Power Level: 14,061
