I looked around, all that I could see was trees, so many of them that you couldn't see where one ended and the next begun. "Well, this kinda would be the place for a secret Wuju lair." I wished to myself. I had friends that gave me intel on where "Master Yi" (as they called him) lived. They told me to look for a straw hut, hidden between they largest trees in the forest. I had a trick up my sleeve. I darted like a monkey up the tallest tree and looked down, there, not really hidden at all was a hut, constructed out of thin dried bamboo. The intel suggested straw, but that intel was from a very drunk young yordle. I lept to the tree that sat next to the house, and slid down till I was a couple feet away from the ground, where I hit a branch and toppled down the rest of the way. I mumbled something about "They don't make trees like they used to," and completely passed out.

As I slowly blinked open my eyes I saw not the grassy woodland floor. But a young man with what looked to be a white full body plated armour, and seven green goggles on a helmet.
"Umm... Sir, who are you, and why am I here?" I managed to put out, bringing my hand up to my bruised forehead.
"I would ask the same of your sudden arrival outside my door. But as you are the guest, I will answer first." He responded, standing upwards, then rummaging through a cupboard handing me a blue fresh scented bottle.
"I am Yi, I practice the long lost art of Wuju. You are lying on my straw bed because you fell a great hight from a tree." He continued.
"I have never seen someone that could be so stupid enough to climb a redwood tree wearing a hooded robe. Oh, drink that liquid I gave you, it's Yordle medicine."
"The robe is to conceal this." I lifted up my hood to revial ape like face.
"I am of the Shimon tribe. My name is Kong" A monkey faced race. We pride ourselves on peace and pacifism, and our skill in climbing trees. I needed more than a monkey tree top life. I came down here to find someone that could teach me their ways in martial arts."
"Unfortunately in normal circumstances I would never teach anyone that came to my hut that was actively finding my secret house, but these aren't normal circumstances. I owe a great dept to the race of monkeys, I would find any way to repay them if I could."
"Well, were not actually monkeys we..."
"Your close enough, now, take this hunting spear and hit me with it." Handing me a pole with a metal spike on the end.
"I wouldn't like to hurt anyone." I broke of the tip of the spear, and sat it down on the table. I started spinning the pole round and round, my trick was to dart out when nobody knows I would. I waited...I lunged forward, just as Yi's arm flue from where it lay, and easily batted it to one side.
"Now you'll know what standards you have to live up to." Yi said, standing up and walking out the door.
"Where are you going?" I asked
"I think you mean where are we going. And that is to meditate, you'll be doing an awful lot of that."
"Okay," I answered, grabbing the spikeless spear. I rather liked you, staff. I thought to myself. As I ran out the door.
