DRTUNA: 	%  : : :  All of a sudden the painting becomes reality. : : : 
DRTUNA: 	%  Steady yourself, just continue observing.
DRTUNA: 	%  : : :  The Doctor begins walking up the hillside towards the large
tree. : : : 
DRTUNA: 	% This is wonderful, I am back in my time as a youth, in the land
where I was born and raised.
DRTUNA: 	%  This is one hill I do not mind climbing.
DRTUNA: 	%  : : :  As the Doctor nears the top of the hill,
DRTUNA: 	%  it becomes clear that two people are seated under the tree. : : : 
ImtheDoctr: 	%  Hermit>  : : : sitting by a tree: : :  Hello, my boy.  It's nice that
you visit so often.
DRTUNA: 	%  Why, my old teacher! And that must be ......
DRTUNA: 	%  : : :  The Doctor looks at the lad seated in front of the teacher. : : : 
DRTUNA: 	%  : : :  The young timelord is tallish, lanky, and with an already
haughty bearing. : : 
DRTUNA: 	%  I think I looked better after I got a little gray.
ImtheDoctr: 	% Young Doc>  You're wisdom is great and I wish to learn.
DRTUNA: 	%  This is my teacher, K'an-po, and that lad in front of him is
myself.
DRTUNA: 	%  : : :  The Doctor goes and sits next to the two -- teacher and pupil.
: : 
DRTUNA: 	%  Greetings, friends, may I join you?
DRTUNA: 	%  >K'an-Po:  Well, you have come a long way to join us, welcome!
DRTUNA: 	%  >K'an-Po:  All are welcome who will learn to teach themselves.
ImtheDoctr: 	% Young Doc>  Who are you, sir?
DRTUNA: 	% I am an elder.
DRTUNA: 	% >K'an-Po:  My young pupil here has many questions. Being older, you
must have some answers for him.
DRTUNA: 	%  I am afraid not, noble one. Some think me wise, but the important
mysteries still elude me.
DRTUNA: 	%  >K'an-Po:  What questions would you ask?
ImtheDoctr: 	Y Doc>  Do you travel?
DRTUNA: 	%  Yes, quite bit. Would you like to do that?
ImtheDoctr: 	%  Y Doc> Oh very much so.
DRTUNA: 	%  Noble one, I am troubled by the use of force. I have been violent
in my actions.
DRTUNA: 	%  >K'an-Po:  To not be associated with force, that would be not to
live.
DRTUNA: 	%  But I have done more than live -- I have destroyed, I have
controlled....
DRTUNA: 	%  ....I have even killed.
ImtheDoctr: 	%  Y Doc: : : gasps: : : 
DRTUNA: 	%  Could you be proud to say that, young man?
ImtheDoctr: 	Y Doc. No I couldn't bear to have someone's death on my
conscience.
DRTUNA: 	%  >K'an-Po:  You look for an obvious answer you cannot find.
DRTUNA: 	%  >K'an-Po:  You think of yourself, and of all the cosmos, but you do
not think of THE OTHER.
DRTUNA: 	%  The other?
DRTUNA: 	%  >K'an-Po:  Yes. Look into your enemy. The universe is balance. If
your enemy is unbalanced...
DRTUNA: 	% >K'an-Po:  ...and violent, the equilibrium of the cosmos will bring
their actions back to them.
DRTUNA: 	%  >K'an-Po:  You may not be a lone violent man, but a stabilizing
force.
DRTUNA: 	%  You mean if they are violent, my response is justified?
DRTUNA: 	%  >K'an-Po:  No. It is never justified. But it can be understood.
DRTUNA: 	%  >K'an-Po:  But you must never do more than respond in the short
term. No revenge.
DRTUNA: 	%  >K'an-Po:  No reprisals. Over-react and your violence will come back
on you.
DRTUNA: 	%  >K'an-Po:  Under-react and you can expect a better balance in
return.
DRTUNA: 	You mean, I....
ImtheDoctr: 	Y Doc> So, no matter what you do, it will always come back and
haunt you?
DRTUNA: 	%  K'An-Po> Right, young man!
DRTUNA: 	%  >K'an-Po:  Your recent failures may be nothing more than
DRTUNA: 	%   >K'an-Po:  the establishment of an equilibrium you create.
DRTUNA: 	%  I can respond, but I must limit myself. I must be understated in my
actions.
DRTUNA: 	%  I must use less force than my opponents. I must substitute
patience, intellect, and cunning!
DRTUNA: 	%  : : : Turns to youth: : :  What questions are you asking today, young
man?
ImtheDoctr: 	%  Y Doc>  I gather you have found yourself again?
DRTUNA: 	%  Yes, perhaps I have.
DRTUNA: 	%  >K'an-Po:  Well, my son, that is a good question.
DRTUNA: 	%  Excuse me, thanks so very much, but I must be off!
DRTUNA: 	%  : : :  The Doctor walks away and down the hill.: : 
DRTUNA: 	%  : : :  The Doctor gazes at the small house down the mountain. : : 
DRTUNA: 	%  [Dr. thinks to himself] I wonder if they are at home. It has been
so long.
DRTUNA: 	%   Perhaps it would not hurt too much to see them?
