THE WAY OF THE WIND

The Way of the Wind was said to have been first concieved of almost a

millenia ago.  Under attack from Rah's many forces, a shivatian general was

puzzled as to how best to teach his men to defend themselves from their foe.

Rah's armies were well-trained and taught specifically in how to fight his

men.  As he pondered the problem, a leaf blew past, brushing against his

nose.  Reaching up to grab it, he led the leaf on its path- but just as he

was closing his fingers about it the wind changed direction and the leaf was

blown from his path.  Some say that the General went mad, thinking that even

the Kami were against him.  Others say he merely saw things differently, and

was perhaps even enlightened.  For whatever reason, he was soon teaching his

men to fight in the most unorthodox of ways...and it worked.
