A new day

The long awaits has arrived, as the crowd watched Xun Ei dressed in black robe with Xun symbol walking into the center. People held their breath for the change that was about to happen.

Xun Ei stood tall at the center of the ceremony then looked at the crowd around him before beating his chest while vow solemly.

"My name is Xun Ei, I vow to heaven and earth that I shall leads Xun Clan until the end of my life. I will not bring disgrace to the clan neither convert things from the clan member. And I will not suppress others using my authority but will be the wise leader who is just and fair. Let all the member in Xun Clan here be witness with heaven and earth, that I, Xun Ei shall be the next clan leader."

"Long live the Xun Clan."

"Way to go nephew"

"Eldest brother you'are so cool."

"Let's show them what we've got."

The loud cheer broke the tense atmosphere, clap after clap rang in all direction. After some time the sound subsided and then it was replace by respect and awe.

Xun Ei then sat down at the chair before writing his name on the paper.

'Xun Ei, the partriach of Xun Clan'

After he finished writing, the paper turned into fragments of lights.Some fragments ascended to heaven and some descended to eart, but most of the fragments spread out into the crowd before disappeared completely.

Then he turned around and looked at the crowd then he spoke

"Now the Xun Clan ceremony offically ended and I have three things to announce. First, we will discuss our future plans inside the manor tommorrow. Second, there will be a clan tournament in one month and the seeds that show promising results will be sent outside to help our clan business. Third, this is the last peaceful day that you could enjoy, treasure it."

After his announcment he turned around and walke back to his room. The future possibility made his blood rushes in excitement. Although, the path they choose may fill with bloods and sacrifices but their pride as Xun could never accept a peaceful life. They may have met a setback those years agos but they will come back stronger than before. Shaking his thought from excitement he changed his clothes to casual wear before sitting at the bed to meditate.

He then chanted

'The Sutra of the Wise'

"To be wise is to let go of bias,

To let go of bias is to let go of the emotions"

He then let his thoughts flow freely without his control. When there was the beginning there was the ending. Such as thoughts, it shall come and go until there was no thoughts left but blank state. A logical state without bias, an blank state without emotion, and the enlightened state that he's in control.

The plans finally becomes completed inside his mind. As the sound of bird chirping reverberated all over the Xun Clan, a ray of warm sunlight touches his face. He opened his eyes, then, he thought, a new day has begun.
