The Grandmaster listened to Keystone with unwavering attention, his eyes boring into the monk like they were trying to dig a hole through his flesh. He didn't nod or acknowledge anything Keystone said, but somehow, Keystone knew that he was listening. The mention of Kaylee brought a knowing nod from the old monk.

"It is a great challenge to contend with the dangers of the Material Plane, but one versed in the intricacies of the mind would always argue it's a greater challenge to contend with one's own mind and intrusions therein. Kaylee is a danger to your mind, Keystone. As long as she is in there, you won't be able to achieve complete peace of mind. That is the way of the mind, be it a benevolent spirit or a malicious one. For one of our calling, such intrusions are the barrier between the mind and total peace. One must get rid of the intrusion before one can achieve the highest levels of competence and balance. When that happens, you shall understand many things," the monk explained, shaking his head as if it didn't matter.

"I sense the power of the undead even now, coming closer with every passing second. He, it, is not evil. It is coming for you, and only you, stopping before nothing to achieve that goal. As long as you live with the intrusion in your mind, you will not be able to understand the greater forces at play here. I do not wish the destruction of a benevolent spirit, but I fear it will be impossible to avoid it if you wish to fight this enemy."

The monk rose to his feet so quickly that Keystone never registered the movement. He bade Keystone to show him his training routine and explained how to improve his form and accuracy. Then, Shein-Fang broke into his own set of movements, with practiced grace and control, demonstrating to Keystone the proper movements and forms. He finished with a curt bow, boring into Keystone once again with that hard, unyielding stare.

"Remember these forms. Practice them. You should start to feel improvements if you practice enough, but there will be a limit as to how far you will be able to go. Some of your chakras will remain sealed until you have gotten rid of the intruder in your mind." He handed the Time Stop scroll back to Keystone with an expression that allowed no debate: "Such magic is an open invitation to war with the Red Wizards. Even if we would win such a war, I will not have any of my pupils die for a parchment. If you are wise, you will get rid of it for a good amount of coin, or use it in combat to escape."

Shein-Fang stared hard at Keystone once again, but it was as if he didn't see his fellow monk standing there. His old green eyes briefly turned white, as he stared at, no, through Keystone, as he spoke: "In order for him to win this, you must get out." In his mind, Keystone felt Kaylee come alive and immediately shrink back, as much as that was possible, full of fear.

Shein-Fang relaxed and sat back down, eyes closed. "You will find accommodations two doors to the right out of this room. You are free to stay here as long as you like, even if that is only going to be for the next day or so. I fear we may not be able to hold off the attack." The grandmaster closed his eyes and continued his meditation, indicating the conversation was over.
