30. In Transit

Ji Qong, Zing Tao master of the Ninth Order, held command of this mission. Ji had not been on a field mission for more than 30 years, instead splitting his time between the Way of Tranquility training ground and private retreat. His powers were beyond imagination. The Ninth Order was a class of one-Ji.

His mere presence raise both confidence and concern. The mission would succeed. With Ji, there was no other option. Each Zing Tao would have private counsel with Ji sometime before first contact. Papa Kyra wasn't sure if he was more afraid of first combat under fire or meeting privately with Ji.

Ji was more than six hundred years old. He came from the Janus sector, a member of the Brandonian tribe of biomorphs. Known for wisdom beyond Hynerian reach, Brandonian biomorphs intuitively knew or could learn in a matter of minutes any language.

Ji was taken by the Hynerian love of wisdom and peace and decided to start his own monastery, taking on pupils one at a time. Zing Tao was his teaching. No Ji, No Zing Tao. His influence brought the best and brightest to the Way of Tranquility, and as such the Zing Tao section quickly became without question the elite factor of force within the Blue Onyx.

Papa Kyra joined for this one reason. Now, he was going to meet Ji Qong for the first time, just days before his first engagement. What does one say to a six hundred year old Ninth Order Zing Tao master? Perhaps that was the wrong question.

Ji Qong. His photo lends him a soothing, yet wise mystique.
I can see "The Way of Tranquility" in the subtle blend of his colors.

Brandonian Bimorphs. (and I wonder just who Brandon is.)

One says nothing. One only listens....very deeply.
