Kenji

"Aido," said Moto.

"Take him to Kenji," he said to him.

"Come, let us go," said Aido to Chanaka.

Chanaka did not question the masters direction. He followed him blindly now.

Aido led Chanaka to an old house were there was an even older man.

"You stay here with Sensei Kenji," said Aido and dropped him off there.

"Sit," said Kenji.

Chanaka sat there in the hot boiling room.

Through out the day, he sat there watching the old man go after his craft with sincere dedication. He was singularly focused and did not even utter a word. He asked Chanaka to get him some water now and. That was the only conversation they had.

Chanaka dozed off without his knowledge and when he got up, the next day he saw Kenji making a sword. Sorry Master! said Chanaka and sat up firm. Hmm! said Kenji. That day went as the same day, like the one before. Then the next few days passed by. The only thing Chanaka could do was observe the master.

Slowly but surely a restlessness energy was developing in Chanaka. A dark aura now formed over him. Stop! shouted Naster Kenji and Chanaka snapped out if it. Be still, said Kenji

"Okay, Master," said Chanaka and started to observe once again. A few weeks had passed and the dark aura would appear now and again. But Kenji would snap him out of it. Finally, after a month had passed. A lighter blue aura firmed around him replacing the dark blue aura. Good! said Master Kenji. Now you are ready! he said.

Chanaka got up and stood before the master. Only when he stood before his master, that he did realise that there was a berry light aura around master Kenji. But a very powerful one. Chanaka, said Master Kenji. Aura, the more powerful it is, the more it cannot be seen, he said.

A man aura that can be easily seen is very weak and can be dangerous. For you as well, said Master Kenji. Master Moto, he has an aura? asked Chanaka. Yes, the strongest aura. That is why you cannot even see it, even when you are closer to him. Master Kenji! bowed Chanaka. I want to have a powerful aura, said Chanaka.

You will, said Kenji. But now, you learn to make a sword, said Kenji.

Yes Master! said Chanaka.
