Dragons of the Valley

Prologue

Shifu meditated peacefully underneath the Sacred Peach Tree. He heard a voice that sounded distant, yet also sounded like it was right next to him.

"I need you." It said. "You must protect me."

"Why me?" Shifu asked out loud. "Why must I be responsible?"

"I cannot tell you." The voice said. Shifu's head dropped. "But I can show you." Then, Shifu saw the scenery around him change until he found himself in the Sacred Hall of Warriors. The sky outside was dark and stormy. Shifu heard a cold laugh behind him and whipped around, only to stare in horror at what he saw.

A giant, dull green dragon was standing in front of the Moon Pool. The glow of the pool made the dragon look even more evil than he did before. At the paws of the dragon were Shifu's students. Shifu was horrified to see his students had been reduced to bloody corpses. Shifu smelled smoke. He turned around and saw the village in flames. Shifu saw the dragon behind him lunge and, before he could react, Shifu was pinned to the ground by a giant, talon paw.

"This is your future." The voice said coldly. "Do you want this?" Shifu didn't answer, still horrified by the sight. "DO YOU?!"

Shifu yelled as he woke up abruptly. He breathed deeply, still scared. He groaned and leaped out of bed. He yanked up his loose floorboard and walked down quickly. In the dim light, he could see the black dragon egg on the cot. Shifu grabbed it and raced back up to his room. He gently set the egg on his bed and sat in front of it, staring at its pitch black color. He sighed, then jumped when someone knocked on his door.

"Master?" Tigress called. "Are you alright?"

"Come in Tigress." Shifu called back. "I'm fine." Tigress walked in and stood next to her master. "Just a bad dream."

"About the egg?" Tigress guessed.

"Sort of." Shifu sighed again. "What's supposed to happen after this thing hatches?"

"We'll just have to find out." Tigress said. "We'll ask Yī fù tomorrow. How's that?"

"Fine." Shifu muttered. Tigress left for bed. Shifu continued to stare at the egg.

"Let's hope that Tigress and I know what we're about to get into." He thought.
