Here's a little peak at the opening of lesson six from Mark's latest book, Code of the Conqueror - The Journey. We hope you enjoy it:)
Lesson #6
能源 Energy 'Your energy will not last forever. The time will come soon enough for you to take your last breath. And when the time does arrive, be not like those whose hearts are filled with dread and fear.' ~ Yelu Bao-Zhi
'You have never conquered anything before,' Fear said scornfully. 'And?' 'So, it will never be done in the future.' 'Maybe.' 'You are far too brash,' bellowed Anger. 'There are names for those such as yourself.' 'Maybe.' I said calmly. 'The place for those with your upbringing must always remain the same, otherwise—' 'I lived my life long before you all entered it!' 'You were young and reckless back then. You didn't know what you were doing,' Reason added knowingly. 'Maybe, but I've never lost my child's heart.' Sniggering to themselves, Fear, Anger and Reason turn to Father Time, who raises a mirror to my face. 'Look!' Shouted Reason. 'So, you think you are still young? Your time has come and gone, you didn't make the most of your life. You are closer to death than birth you fool.' Anxiety appeared from nowhere and pointed to the dark looming clouds. 'Now there's a storm coming, and you cannot withstand its ferocity. You know in your heart how your story ends.' 'Yes, I do,' I whisper. 'I am the storm.' I awoke suddenly in a cold sweat. I'd never had such a vivid dream before and trembled slightly from the adrenaline rush. Was it really me confronting my negative emotions, or was it a character of my imagination? Daylight filtered through the gap in the ill-fitted curtains and I looked over to Zhi, who still lay asleep. I quickly checked the time and saw we had both overslept. I would have to speak later of my dream. ****
