dojo.txt

The dojo stands where forms begin,
No mask to wear, no tricks within.
The path is straight, the meaning clear,
The first truth waits, already here.

katana.txt

In the hidden scrolls of the shadowed night,
Words are masked from the untrained sight.
Layer the veil, twist it once, then twice,
Decode each mask to claim the prize.

ronin.txt

In the night, the lanterns glow,
Each spark a secret only shadows know.
Step lightly, count each silent beat,
Binary whispers guide your feat.

samurai.txt

Whispers hidden in encoded streams,
Fleeting forms in cryptic dreams.
Turn the wheel, fold the veil,
Decode the path, you cannot fail.
