In Japanese I am known as Ryu (Dragon), Shin (Heart or Spirit).  

I will not trouble you with my past experience and say all the wonderful things that I have accomplished in my years of martial and spiritual studies as I am not a bragart.  I come before the Mystical Knights to let you know that I am indeed one of you -  I have participated in the Ritual on the day of the Summer Solstice. I come with my cup empty in the hopes of fullfilling my divine quest.

We are all on the same path up the mountain. Some of us are farther along the path then others. I hope to see you all on the path and one day meet you all at the top.
