This is Goan a friend of mine from Cherryton Academy, he is a talented drummer for my band Mountain Peak as well as a master of Judo. Once a week we would meet up at the school gym and have a sparring match and in return he wouldn’t bully the other students. Goan can come across as very arrogant and tough but deep down he was back then a very trouble soul. These fights were a way to help Vent steam but realising now a way for us to bond and to be open with each other. As a foreigner to the Beastworld Goan has acted as my protector and warning me of the dangers of their society. For him it was his way of thanking me, very soon took me on as his brother or sometimes call me his brother in arms depending the situation. I knew this must mean something to him as we both don’t have our parents anymore.

He began to mellow as he got older becoming a far more easy going person and is now in charge of the School’s judo as their instructor. As well as a far better drummer than he ever was before and became an Olympic Champion famously known for kissing his opponents hands after a match as a sign to say thank you.

Sadly at 65 years old Goan dies from a terrible illness but his legacy is still remembered from a professional fighter to a rock legend. Goan is someone once you met you will never forget!!!
