Bonds and Balance (D2 LE)

[Jihen]

In the recesses of his private quarters Jihen set to making the work of his meditation and divination into physical form.

He measured two equal amounts of calligraphy paper... two separate brushes... two unique phrases imprinted into his mind... two fluid motions of brush...

Merged them all in his mind... and then untangled them into their purest forms.

With his mind racing with the heat of fire... and his heart focusing deep on the truths beneath the forms... He painted.

The first work:

業の均衡 - The Balance of Kharma

The second work:

恋愛の絆 - The Bonds of Romantic Love

As he lifted the brush and observed the working of his heart and hands... he felt the heat of fire leave him. A wave of exhaustion and accomplishment poured over him.

There were better works, of course... But this was better than he had previously been. Emma-O would judge him someday... but this day he was his own judge. And in this... he had found his place.
