Even in the wilds of the Netherworld, there are boulders.

In front of this particular boulder, a figure in pink stands, her palms together, her eyes closed. She focuses.

Slowly, she begins to move -- simply at first, a few punches here, a few kicks there. Graceful, deliberate motions that are almost more of a dance than they are a martial art.

Then faster, with more power. She moves in a circle, running through the moves as if they are built into her very being. Only the smallest beads of sweat break out on her brow.

She puts her palms together again. Calm.

And then -- a hurricane. Faster than the eye can see, she moves, punching, kicking. Her mind as much of a weapon as her body, she is formidable in her actions, and yet as light on her feet as a feather.

A final moment of focus, and she directs one final punch at the boulder.

A beat.

And the boulder splits in half.

She resists the urge to smirk. She hopes Sammo, Yuan and the old man are watching somewhere.

Heh, reminds me of a knucklehead back at home. But unlike him, you've got... technique, I think it is.

Heh, teachers, huh?

I've just had the art of speed. Self-taught. Had friends but no teachers. I learn everything by my own experience.

Used t' do that. The old bastard gave me anything, though, it was focus, which I sure as hell didn't have before we met. Been havin' to work on my own moves since he passed on, though. Betcha I've improved on his stuff by now.

Sometimes I wish I had that guidance.

No use regretting stuff I never had though. I wouldn't trade my ability to roam the world however I want... for the world!

Roamin' the world, eh? Sounds nice. Kinda th' sorta thing I might've wanted to do before I figured things out.
