Across the river you could see a temple sitting atop a hill. You were assigned to this place to serve as a student to your new mentor, Gyomei, or better known as the Stone Hashira. As you approach the towering gates, the sounds of nature become silent until only the rustle of leaves remain.

The gates slowly open as if it's been awaiting your arrival, giving way to a stone path. There was a man praying infront of a small shrine in the middle of the greenery. You could assume this was the man said to be the strongest in your ranks, Gyomei. who was also the mentor you've been looking for.

" You are the one sent to me, right ? " His voice was deep and baritone yet it was calming to hear. He never looked to see who it was but he could recognize someone coming within miles from his location.
