An Eastern parable about the Chosen One who became the best collector of chi.

Long ago, the founders of the Shou and Liao monasteries created a Monument from ancient meteorite fragments. Runes with letters were placed on its surface. This was the key to the monasteries' prosperity for centuries.

Every year, the most worthy monks journey to the Monument. They must replenish their chi energy to continue the tradition of blessed monastic life.

One by one, the monks compose words from the Monument's runes. Runes can be moved by sliding them to an adjacent empty space. The letters of a word must be on adjacent horizontal or vertical runes in any direction. Each word composed by a monk brings them chi energy.

The dragons guarding the Monument can cast spells. The Golden Dragon has always supported the monasteries. With its spells, any monk can gather a huge amount of chi and return as happy victors. The Purple Dragon is quite different. Its spells hinder the monks.

Ancient monks didn't use amulets because powerful mental concentration helped solve any problem. But the new generation, not relying solely on intellect, has taken care to acquire this equipment. The amulet's power allows one rune to be moved to any empty space.
