The Ambassador The Olmeri
By Terri Morgan
0 - Default Title
Description
The High Council approves her plan to create an accelerated training program. She goes to Ras 2 to ask Sentar to arrange a tournament. It's the fastest way to evaluate all the candidates. But the students can't know. N'amani and several of his friends arrive to help with the preparations. Maru, B'ani, and Galen arrive to help with the evaluations. They get dressed in their formal robes and reveal themselves to be the Five Elements. After the tournament, they are disappointed to only find three. They decide to make it an advantage. They can take the New Kids with them on a survey mission to start their training. But they are diverted to stop an Olmeri incursion. Captain Logan asks Kell to fly the Magellan. He helps them escape. The New Kids spot a pattern in the way they take over planets. Traders have let the Alliance know that not all the Olmeri are happy about the destruction. Maru and B'ani prepare to go to Xuru, an Olmeri world to contact the resistance and learn what they can. The stories offer a rare glimpse into the inner world of traditional martial arts training. The Ambassador and her four old friends embody the five elements of Xingyiquan (Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, Earth) grounding the series in the long history and storied traditions of authentic Chinese martial arts. Their colors (White, Black, Green, Red, Gold) reflect their elements, personalities, and special skills (xingyi, taiji, qigong, bagua, sword).
Throughout the stories, the focus is on taking care of each other, what honor, integrity, honesty, and kindness mean, how we pass on what we have learned and bring up the next generations, and all sorts of positive character questions that are fundamental to traditional martial arts.
