Description

Been Wanting to upload this one for a good while. Finally finished him. This is by far one of the most, if not the most, Honorable Feastbeast alive. However he was not always. Infact about 500 some years ago, he was cruel, merciless, and downright evil. He didn't even have a name. People knew him simply as the red lion of Tibet. He had the power to turn what ever he touched in to smithereens. As you can guess, he was feared by people and feastbeast alike. One fine day after rampaging through a city, he came across a blind old man, and thought to himself" free food with owith an extra helping of sorrow". Red lion charged toward the old man,but was shocked when he dodged him with ease. Red lion was confused, and tried again. And again the old man dodged him. Soon Red lion was growing frustrated and no longer was having any fun as the blind old man continued doing his business. "WHY CAN"T I KILL YOU?!?!" Roared the feral Red lion. Though blind, he simply turned to Red lion and replied" I'd tell you, but you already know the answer". Red lion roared in frustration, and went away. He had returned a few days later to try again, and failed just the same. This went on for about a few months and finally Red lion had asked, still yelling" Why can't I kill you?!?!" The old man replied this time."Why do you want to kill me?" "Why? Well, to eat you of coarse!" Red lion said feeling all proud of himself that he finally got a desent reply out of his prey. The old man, though blind, simply looked at Red lion and asked "And why do you want to eat me? Why do you need such power. What is your purpose in life?" Red lion could not respond. . His Child was dazed and confused as he was, fially he walked away. For the next 3 years, Red lion did not cause any destruction. He just thought about what the old man had said. Finally, Red lion went to the old man agai. This time, he walked to the old man and asked him what he was doing that was so important to put his life in danger to thwart the strength of the mighty Red lion. The old man smiled and showed Red lion, that all he was doing, since the first day they had encounter each other, was watering a flower. Red lion was speachless, as his child of Tastiness, fell on the ground from a confusion overload. The old man had invited the now more calm Red lion into his home as a guest. Over the years they had become quite good friends as both had taught each other what they could about there life and expirences. They laughed, they cried, and ate lots of dumplings. Unfortunately, Red Lion was immortal, but not the old man. As he was on his death bed, he said" when we first met, you asked me why you could not kill me. I think its time I answered that question for you old friend." Red lion, teary eyed, but strong replied" That was so long ago. It does not matter any more" The old man smiled."Nonsense. It is that very question that even began our long friendship. Please, place your hands over my eyes and use your power. Your true power. Just be at peace when you do it." Red Lion was confused, but did as the old man had ais big red asked and placed his big red claw over the old man's eyes. He used his power, but instead of destroying the old man, he was shocked to see, that the old man's eyes had been restored to 100% health. The old man could see at long last after being about 80 years with out sight. He made sure the first, and last thing he saw was his friend, the red lion." To answer your question my dear friend, the reason why you could not kill me, was because you were blind to what you could truly do. This is your purpose." He said as he smiled as Red lion shed tears of joy after having a question answered he had forgotten about for so long. The old man was begining to fade into his final sleep and just remembered something and asked" By the way, I never did ask of your name". Red lion frowned and replied to the old man"I...I have no name to keep you comfort my friend. Please forgive me" The old man smiled and simply said" Do not be sorry, you may have my name. My name is Rhojinjo. It was very nice to meet....you...." After that, the old man had passed away peacefully and with a smile on his face. Now the Red lion had a new name. a new purpose. His name was Rhojinjo with his Child of Tastiness Ronin. He vowed to becomed a righteous being who followed peace. Even though he still had his great hunger, he now ate with purpose and with reason.
