To the members of this community,

I am certain that everyone is aware of the importance in the entity of power. Logically, a certain amount of strength is necessary for survival.

However, history has proven many instances where people have succumbed to their greed of acquiring too much power. They can be easily led down the wrong path, and then left wandering around in the eternal darkness of their own creation. Power that exceeds reasonable limitations would likely cause fear and discontentment amongst many of the bystanders affected by the carrier.

And yet, in spite of knowing these dangers, people continue to have the desire to become stronger, and some pursue their goal relentlessly, regardless of the possible consequences.

Those of you that may have been affected by, or even experienced this ordeal, what would you be willing to risk, and perhaps even relinquish completely, in the pursuit of power? How does one decide which point is appropriate to stop?

Signed,

The moon? Mmm. I enjoy going outside at night to gaze upon the full moon.

Woah, not a werewolf or something are you?

Excuse me? No. I am a ninja.

Just checking, there are some wierd things on this community.

But a werewolf? I have yet to see one of those creatures.

...Though there is a hyena around that I have recently spoken with.

Me too, but there's a first time for everything man.

A hyena?

Werewolves do not exist. They are a myth.

Yes. His name is Ed. Are you acquainted with him?

So are ninjas in my world.

No, I can't say that I am.

Fair enough. So then, do werewolves exist in your world?

Hmm.

If we should ever meet in person, I can prove to you that I am a shinobi.

I don't think so, but since joining this community I've started to wonder about many things I took for granted.

Oh I have no doubt about it, but in my world a ninja would just be a stealthy acrobat.

Oh? Such as?

An acrobat? The people in that line of profession are for entertainment purposes.

Well Gods for one.

Well ninjas just aren't the same in my universe. No special powers and shit.

Are you perturbed by the presence of gods on this community?

I see. Then perhaps you will be surprised to see my abilities.

Oh hell no!

Maybe I would, but I'm getting used to wierd shit happening.

Good. I would not recommend angering them.

Well. People typically don't expect sand to be used as an effective weapon.

Sand?

Yes. That is my primary weapon.

Well that's diferent.

Mmm. I can use it for defensive purposes as well.

I suppose you find this method unusual.

Yeah. just a bit. Around here its bare knuckles.

Oh? So you fight in the form of physical hand-to-hand combat. That is my weakest aptitude.

My friend Johnny mentioned that people in New York also use guns.

Well I try to avoid violence, I wouldn't want to harm anyone.

That is a commendable attitude. Unfortunately, violence is rather prominent in the life of a shinobi.

Ah then I am glad I am not a shinobi.
