The end of life - 01

After 6 months disappeared without trace, Master Quinn returned in April, when spring came upon all the mountains and seas. That meant all the stiches on my body could be cut off.

My body was bandaged for 6 months already. At first, I used to jump out and scare people. But after a while, I realized that no one was afraid after the first time, and I couldn't remember who did I scare, who did I not, so I lost my interest.

After 2 months, I felt uncomfortable.

Many people thought I couldn't stand 4 hours soaking my-bandaged-self in the medication tank. Actually it was very good for healing. But afterwards I had to keep the wet bandages like that until they dry. It was even more uneasy when the weather turned cold.

Later, I comforted myself that all heroes must accept the special harsh training challenges from their masters. Master Quinn must has wanted me to be trained. So, even in the freezing cold January and with some fevers, I endured it.

After half a year of persistence, my diseases resistance was clearly improved. I talked about it with Master Quinn. He stayed quiet for awhile, and witty replied: "Ah, I forgot to tell you. Next to the bathroom is a fireplace. It could have helped the bandages to dry quicker. Ha ha..."

Master Quinn was the Abbot of the Quant Denomination. The Quant Denomination settled on the Quant mountain, in the territory of Bash Kingdom. Rumor said, its founder was borned in a poor family and his surname wasn't Quinn, but Waiter. Sevant Waiter.

Later, Sevant Waiter learned Kung Fu from a secret master, and founded his domination. But he couldn't recruit good disciples, because whenever people heard his name, they thought his domination was a school for waiters and servants, and their children would serve in all the restaurants of the country if they got in there.

Sevant Waiter must ask a wise teacher nearby to change his name. The teacher studied it for a while, and said that if the domination was located on the Quant Mountain, why didn't he take that as his name. But Waiter said he would have trouble with the government if he took that name, because he couldn't explain it. So the teacher changed the pronunciation of the name Quant into Quinn, and Sevant into Sloan (means the fighter). Sloan Quinn.

After Sevant Waiter changed his name into Sloan Quinn, the number of his disciples was clearly increased, and his domination grew strong. Master Quinn was his seventh generation.

I've known Master Quinn since I was a child. By then, I lived in the Tad Pagoda - national Pagoda of Vetschau. My first Master was Sir Hamblin. He was old but still healthy. He could still eat a lot and chewing roasted peanuts was not a problem at all. Master Quinn brought his son to live near the Tad Pagoda. He used to visit Sir Hamblin very often and played chess with him.

Every time Sir Hamblin took me up to the mountain to see the sunrise, we would stop by Master Quinn's house. There was only one bed in that house, and every time we got there, I got to sleep on that bed, while the other three slept on the floor. It made me feel rapturous, because whenever I got there, I became special.

Later, I talked about that with Cedrik, Master Quinn's son. Cedrik said: "It proves that you were borned a princess. Only princesses like to be distinguish." But I didn't agree with his explaination. Princesses don't like to be distinguish, but they got used to it. Mainly because nobody would dare to be like princesses. There is big difference between like and get used to. I have understood it deeply when I had to face death many years later.
