A woman sits cross legged in the garden of her monastery. It is peaceful, only birds make noise, it smells of orchids and fresh grass. She breathes deeply and thinks of nothing, her body is perfectly still. Her master sits down opposite and disturbs her by speaking. You are too comfortable here, you must go, you must live on the streets without comfort, you must remember your life before this monastery and live with the people who need your help. I do not know enough. You will learn. I am not ready. You are, I have decided, you will go. What will I do? You will help the people who cannot help themselves, you will use your training, go now you will not sleep here tonight, I have decided.

A woman tries to sleep in a doorway in Daring Heights. It is too cold and her clothes are thin. She pulls her clothes closer, she thinks I must get used to this, so she clears her mind and sleeps. Later some drunks leave a nearby tavern, they are loud but they do not wake her yet. They see the pile of filthy clothes in the doorway and they approach it. The drunks shout, you are filthy, you fucking stink, get out of that doorway its not yours. One of them takes his thing out and starts to piss into the doorway saying you need a fucking shower love. They are all laughing. The steaming piss hits an empty doorway, the clothes are gone, the men are looking around them. A blow lands on the pissing mans neck, he cannot breathe and his face is red. The pile of clothes is now in the middle of them, open hands fly out of it, a bō swings from it, their drunken eyes see a blur and then they are unconscious and there is blood everywhere. People come out of the tavern, they run over to the groaning bodies. But they do not see the woman, she moves silently away in the shadows, she is gone.

A woman sees a notice asking for adventurers. She thinks I need to know more, I need to experience more, I cannot do my work with the little I know. I cannot spend my life fighting drunks and giving out bread. She decides to join the adventure.
