"The art of moving and coordination can be learn through intense training. You can become a shadow who moves in the dark, a bailerina who mesmerizes everyone on stage, a musician creating deep emotions on people or you can track someone outrunning them. The choice is yours. This Path will grant you the power of agility, connecting you with the deepest primitive feelings of hunting and runaway." - Trainer and Assassin, Irina Melerios.
Unionist Temple Complex, one of the training centers of the Path of the Dexterity in Planet Merkonen
The Path is a form of training inside the Unionist Religion, practiced in the Union and in other Unionist communities abroad in many other nations, like the Lewis Nations and the Confederacy of Borealis, among many others. It can be done in multiple ways but the final goal is to potence the abilities the Gift Parasite gives to its hosts.
People can connect deeper through intense meditation with the Parasite in their bodies, to the point of somehow, have an internal communication that allows them a deeper understanding of their existence, their own body and the universe. This is made by a minority of the population through deep and intense meditation. Those that follow meditation are set to start "The Awakening Way". People can stay in this stage of meditation indefinitely but many who star with it soon focus themselves on one of the many Paths.
To follow the Path of Dexterity, you need to have a special and strong bond with the Gift, however, the most important thing is to have some sort of natural ability to make the person choose this Path. This way is perfect for those who are good with their hands, who are agile, flexible and can move easily.
The Way of Dexterity
This way enhances the coordination capabilities of the person, what is essential to create agile and coordinated people into levels beyond human understanding. They are referred as "Dexters" or colloquially as "Dancers". The people who follow this path, achieve extreme coordination movements, that makes them able to play musical instruments and dance incredibly well. That's why these people are excellent dances and musicians. The best among humanity. But those who follow this path are also extremely well at spying and murdering, acting as silent assassins and spies, specially in times of War. They can also be hired as mercenaries or private assassins. Some dedicated themselves to security forces of the Union, tracking and prosecuting runaways. They are excellent as well in fight, but less strong and capable that those following the Path of the Warrior.
