Huh, what is this place? Tsk-tsk, the serene lake, and the clear horizon at the end of the vast treeless plain ... I would have thought I was back in the good old mountains if I didn't see you here. Alright, do you mind showing me around, my grave-looking friend?

See that? On rainy days, this is how you get yourself an enormous wild boar on the glass with moderate effort!

Future is a perennial topic threaded throughout our lives ... I have been chasing after mine for 40 years, yet it was never the right one.

When you take a nap, always keep your ears to the ground and the leaves ... The bear cub walks like drums, and pheasant like flutes.

Well, well, I heard your footsteps when you rounded the corner ... Anything I can help you with?

Eeh, wanna have some yak butter tea? If this is your first time trying this, I'd suggest that you not smell it before you drink it. No no, it tastes good, except for that special odor, haha ... You'll learn to love it once you're used to it!

Take your time, my friend, there is no need to race against the clock. Everything happens in its own time.

Help yourself to the tandoori chicken, cinnamon-spiced lamb soup, and lamb biryani. The chickpea curry, chickpea roll and chickpea & pumpkin stew are for the Buddhist vegetarian.

I remember the first time I saw my teacher dance. The villagers said the dance would rid them of illness and evil spirits and lend them health and happiness. The heat from the bonfire distorted my vision ... And I no longer saw the dance, but a fierce fight between a brown bear and a snow leopard.

Interested in this mask? Here, I have all sorts of them in different shapes and patterns. They are the source of my power and as important to me as your wands to you. They witnessed my rebirth as a Shaman.

I once thought this is a price I paid for being weak ... But now I see it as a medal of bravery. I mean ... look at it! It's so much cooler than the other arm!

The deepest cut on my back was inflicted by a wolf cub, took me two months to ease the pain. Never underestimate the wolf pup, it can be more fierce than its parents, no less.

My life here is quite similar to the time when I studied and meditated in the mountains. Living in solitude, dealing with dangerous critters, and the unpredictable mischief-makers ... How confusing yet exciting this is! Life can't get better!

Look at your wise and clear eyes, the strong and agile movements, the considerable professional experience, and the composed character ... though I think the composure appears too soon on you at this age, I'm deeply amazed by what you have achieved!

Raise your hand, clench your fist, then hold up your index finger and the middle finger, keep your thumb out, and waggle, waggle ... Look! A wolf cub!

It's hard to imagine that you people can learn so much from that hissing metal box. Even the most forbidden shamanistic ritual can't achieve this.

Kumar is hardly a good sister, but neither am I a good brother to her ... so we're cool!

Twenty years is a long time. It ebbs one's hostility and immaturity, but also takes away almost everything one once owned. Fortunately, I got through it and find myself at the end.

Ha, an experience adult is coming to your aid.

Wuhoo! The hunt begins!

A brave decision.

At your command!

Are we gonna do this with gloves off?

Alright, deep breath in ...

Hold on to that.

Heh ... Ho! Aaah, ha ...!

Everyone has their own destination.

Now dance.

Give me a hand, friends. I can't do this alone.

Auuu ...!

*Groans in pain* ... Good for you!

This is not bad for a stretch.

Whoo ...! Thought I can have some sugared pine nuts.

I've seen snowy mountains stretch dizzyingly to the end of sight. I've seen the eyes of the wolves, where plants grow in spring and snow falls in winter ... That's the moment when I realized where I belong.
