Kenji and The Infinite Rings of Harmony

Kenji picked up The Infinite Rings of Harmony and carefully turned through the dusty book. In it, he found very boring lists of temple supplies and ritualistic teachings, each concerning their own aspect of the Mu-Chen. Most of all, it seemed to be a general guidebook for living at peace with neighbors and with nature, in order to keep one from ever needing to use the more violent aspects of the training.

As he turned the pages he grew more interested in spite of the lists of spices and utensils used in rituals. When he came to the last page, he found text written in a different hand. It was strange, most of all because it was written in a different language, one with letters and symbols full of strange blocky lines and curly loops. At the center of the page was a symbol larger than the rest, and though he did not know the language on the page, he could sense from it a great foreboding.
