Legend Of The Dragon Phoenix Warrior - 55 Ice Man

Chapter 55

Before Nathan could be drowned in his own self doubt Gorampa slapped him on his shoulder and started walking away.

“So where are we going now?” Nathan asked.

“You tell me. I was told that you would have a clue as to were our next guardian would be found. Where do you think we need to go?” Gorampa replied looking over his shoulder as he continued to walk.

Nathan had stopped for a second to think, so when he looked up again he had to run to catch up with Gorampa. He didn’t know why but every time he thought about where they should head next he felt a cold chill run thru his body. At first he thought it was just his imagination, until he breathed out a burst of frost from his mouth.

“Interesting… it seems that our next guardian is someone with an affinity to the ice element.” Gorampa said as he saw the frost come from Nathan’s mouth, “Can you think of anyone you know who fits that description?”

“I don’t know of anyone personally, but there is this one guy I saw on the internet that climbed Mount Everest in shorts….his name is Wim Hof. People call him the iceman. Apparently he has learned the ability to control his body temperature.” Nathan said not sound confident in his suggestion.

“That sounds very promising. For him to be able to unlock his bloodline in our qi devoid world is amazing. Lets go have a talk with this Iceman to see if he has been chosen to become an Earth guardian.” Gorampa was excited at the idea of meeting this Mr. Hof.

Gorampa brought Nathan up into the air and headed to Holland, where Wim Hof was reported to be from. Nathan was scared at first but after the first hour he gradually became accustomed to flying thru the air with Gorampa. When they arrived in Holland it took them a couple days to find Wim Hof’s whereabouts.

Nathan had called Janet to let her know of all the incredible things that were happening to him. They both didn’t realize it, but they had grown a lot closer over this ordeal. Janet helped Nathan to take care of their traveling expenses. Nathan knew he owed her a debit he would never be able to repay, but he promised himself he would give her the love she deserved when he returned. He finally admitted to himself that he truly loved her. Janet hung up feeling her heart swell as well. She knew that Nathan loved her and now that he was willing to openly express it she couldn’t be any happier.

After staying in a hotel for a couple days, Nathan and Gorampa found out that Wim was going to be speaking at a seminar about unlocking the power of the human body. They bought tickets to the seminar and sat towards the front. Nathan thought there were some interesting point that Wim brought out in his seminar, but Gorampa spent most of his time rolling his eyes and harrumphing at the points he thought were ridiculous.

They waited in their seats as everyone else was leaving. When Wim saw them walking up to the stage, naturally he thought they just wanted to ask him some questions about his seminar.

“How can I help you gentlemen?” Wim asked with a smile on his face.

Before Nathan or Gorampa could say anything one of the scrolls flew out of Gorampa’s sleeve and circled around Wim’s head. Wim was surprised by this strange even. As much as it shocked and even scared him a little bit, he felt a soul searing urge to grab ahold of the scroll hovering in front of his face. As soon as he touched it a bright light flashed in his mind. Next thing Wim knew he was in a white void. As he looked around he saw there was nothing else he but him. He turned in circles but saw nothing else.

Before he started to freak out he could hear the sound of foot steps approaching him. A figure could just barely be seen walking toward him, sometimes it was solid and other times it would be transparent. When the figure stopped in front of him it was a monk wearing dirty robes with dreadlocked hair, and a dirty face.

“Hello Wim. My name is the Mudd Buddha. I’m here to explain what is happening to you right now.”

For reasons he didn’t know Wim knew he could trust the Mudd Buddha, he nodded to show that he was being cooperative.

The Mudd Buddha explained the history of the world to Wim. He told him of his ancestry and the importance he would have to the world’s future. Wim was very overwhelmed at first, but as the Mudd Buddha kept talking to him his voice carried a hypnotic feel which calmed Wim down. The Mudd Buddha explained to Wim about his cultivation technique and answered any questions that Wim had. Before the Mudd Buddha left he vouched to Nathan and Gorampa, letting Wim know that they could be trusted.

When Wim woke back up he felt like he had been sleeping for days, but in reality only about half a minute had gone by. He looked at Gorampa and Nathan with a relaxed and trusting gaze.

“How do you feel?” Gorampa asked.

“I feel better then I have ever felt in my life.” Wim said while bowing to Gorampa.

Nathan and Gorampa shared a quick glance because they had both noticed the misty frosty that companied Wim’s words. Pretty soon the temperature in the auditorium they were in began to plummet. Ice cold winds circled around Wim being absorbed into his body. When Wim stood back up he looked like an ice statue has come to life.

“This feels amazing! I have never felt so much power before in my life!” Wim said, his voice sounding ethereal and radiating power, “The Mudd Buddha has instructed me on our quest. I will gladly accompany you to protect the future of our world.”

“Wonderful! Now I must ask you where do you think we will find our next guardian?” Gorampa laughed feeling ecstatic about finding the next guardian so soon.

Wim looked at Nathan, “I look at you and I feel as if a mountain is standing next to me. But when I think about where we should head next, I begin to feel a burning heat inside of me.”

The next moment a red flame could be seen inside of Wim’s chest thru his ice skin. After hearing Wim Nathan felt a raging inferno inside of his chest as well. They both breathed out hot searing flames from their mouths.

“So fire it is…” Gorampa said with a shrug, “Where should we begin looking?”

Nathan shrugged his shoulders and looked over at Wim.

Wim took out his cellphone held it out for the other two to see, “I was watching this video this morning. If I had to guess, I would say this definitely our guy.”

In the video you could see a dog that has been trapped behind a lava flow at a beach. A surfer comes running across the beach. He runs right across the lava without showing any signs of being burnt in anyway. He quickly picks up the dog and runs back toward the person filming. He drops the dog at their feet and keeps running.

“This was filmed in Hawaii a couple days ago. The person has been identified as Keanu Mahoe. He has gone into hiding ever since this video was released, so no one has been able to interview him or get a comment from him. If I had to guess he’s like us and has unlocked his bloodline as well.” Wim suggested.

“To Hawaii then.” Nathan said then looked at Gorampa, “We will take conventional methods this time. I’ll buy us some plane tickets.”

Nathan didn’t want to go thru flying thru the air like he did last time.
