[That made him falter a bit. Darin told him about his brother leveling an entire city before. He can trust Darin'd never want to intentionally cause that much wanton destruction if he can help it, if he wanted to he easily could've a lifetime ago, but being reminded that so many lives could be wiped clean from the world's radar...

I hear ya'. I can handle most things cause of Pop training me while I was still in diapers. My body's built up a lot of endurance that not even seasoned fighters can make it through these kinds of trainings without some debilitating injury or dying. [Really isn't much of a brag as he might sound right now.] It's cause of my training that I don't shatter all the bones in my body throwing a punch, or tear my own limbs off making them strike as fast as they can.
There's something a monk Pop and I ran into our travels told me that always stuck with me. Strength is only a simple tool one can use and master. I've met plenty of knuckleheads who think pure brute strength or speed's all you need to be a good fighter. Truth is, martial arts -- fighting as a whole -- is a trifecta, and they forget the third part: technique. Being strong and being fast can only do you well enough until you meet someone who can and will use whatever opening you leave. It's all about discipline.
You talked about training before with a dao, yeah?
