This story was requested by a Guest reviewer by the name of T-FighterX9. I hope he/she likes it!
So, I add this story to my long list of summer projects. I had to pick this summer.
12 years ago…
A beautiful woman with curly, shoulder length black hair (that covered her left eye), royal blue eyes, royal blue lips, and tongue. (A/N: She sound like anyone you know?) She wore a redand gold dress with black shoes and a golden crown with a red ruby in the center, under a black hooded robe. She was carrying a bundle wrapped in a dark blue blanket.
"Sing-Sing, my love, are you ok?"A handsome man with short black hair, silver eyes, pink lips, and tongue wearing a red and gold tunic with red pants and a golden crown with a ruby in the center, under a black hooded robe.
"Yes, Shen-Wu, I'm fine. And so is our baby."Sing-Sing said looking at her bundle.
"Our only hope rest peacefully. May he grow to be a mighty king."Shen-Wu said
"I don't believe that will happen any time soon, my brother." A male voice said
The two lovers turned to see a tall, lean man with long silver hair, dark purple eyes, and a wicked smile wearing a black crown with a dark purple jewel in the center, black shoes, and a black and purple robe ride up on a black horse with dazed looking, violet eyes.
"What do you want Fang, have you not caused my people and the dragons enough trouble?" Shen-Wu asked
"Not until I can assure that I will have no chance at defeat." Fang spoke. His voice deadlier than any poison in the entire world
"What do you mean by that?" Shen-Wu asked
Fang smiled wickedly and his hand turned into a black and purple fire.
He blasted a nearby tree, which immediately caught on fire.
Shen-Wu and Sing-Sing gasped in fear.
"Run, my love! Take our child and Flee! I will hold him off." Shen-Wu whispered to his wife.
Sing-Sing kissed her beloved husband for the last time and took off running just as the baby began to cry.
"Hush my child." Sing-Sing pleaded to her child.
She heard the agonizing screams of her husband far behind her. The baby cried harder
"No! No! Please my child, hush!" Sing-Sing heard hoof steps quickly catching up.
She turned and jumped off a nearby hill and slid down to the bottom. And continued to run.
"I shall peruse her on my own! The rest of you get rid of that fools life-less body!" She heard Fang cry far behind her. She turned and ran to a nearby abandoned village. Unfortunately for her, she did not know it was abandoned.
Having thought she loss Fang, she cried out:
"Please! Someone Help Us! Help Us!"
"There you are!" Fang cried out far behind her.
Sing-Sing ran long into the night. She ducked behind a thick, hollow log.
The baby continued to sniffle.
"Oh, shush little one." Sing-Sing said.
She opened her mouth and began to sing softly:
Hush my love now don't you cry
Everything will be all right
Close your eyes and drift in dream
Rest in peaceful sleep
If there's one thing I hoped I showed you
Hope I showed you
Just give love to all
"Where are you, Sing-Sing?" Fang wondered out loud from just above Sing-Sing and her child. She stopped singing until she was certain he was out of ear shot and resumed her soft singing
Oh my love… in my arms tight
Every day you give me life
As I drift off to your world
Rest in peaceful sleep
I know there's one thing that you showed me
Tears began to well up in her eyes, as her child began to drift off to sleep.
That you showed me
Just give love to all
Let's give love to all
Just give love to all
Let's give love to all
The last lines were barely audible, but she had to finish the lullaby for her child.
Just give love to all
Let's give love to all
The child was asleep.
Sing-Sing shed tears.
She realized there was no way she could care for her child and continue her run from Fang.
She tearfully pulled out a slip of paper and a pen from her robe and began to write.
My name is Shen-Song. I am the rightful heir to the Empire of the Dragons.
My uncle has murdered my Family in an attempt to take over the empire. He succeeded
Now, I ask of you, care for me and when I turn 12, take me to the Cliff of Dragons Fire and allow me to claim control of my kingdom. If you do not do this, all of Hidden Kingdom will fall into fire.
Care for me as if I was your own, and when the time is right tell me of this day.
Written by my mother Queen Sing-Sing of the Dragon Empire.
Sing-Sing sniffled as she pinned the note to her baby's blanket.
She poked her head out of the log, and she spotted a house with lights.
"You'll be safe there my baby." Sing-Sing whispered to her sleeping child as she tip-toed over to the house and slipped her child in a window.
She picked up a rag left outside and a log and wrapped it as if it was her child.
She peered into the window to get one last look at her child.
"I shall always love you my angel." She whispered.
She took off running past the house, and shortly after that she began to smell smoke.
Sing-Sing turned to find Fang (a top his horse) behind her.
"Thought you could evade me, didn't you?" Fang asked
"You won't get away with this Fang."Sing-Sing shouted.
Fang smiled wickedly and blasted the trees behind her with fire. The fire spread quickly and made a crescent shape behind her. Sing-Sing was trapped
"What is your desire, Fang? We were all perfectly happy with each other! Why did you have to ruin such a happy thing?" Sing-Sing cried.
"I was never happy, I wanted power, I wanted it all! Including… you." Fang purred
Sing-Sing looked utterly disgusted.
"What?" Sing-Sing cried
"The time has come, Sing-Sing. This choice could mean your life… or death! Choose me, or the fire that will end you." Fang said evilly.
"I will never choose you. You killed the love of my life!" Sing-Sing cried
Fang frowned
"So be it." With the snap of his finger and arrow pierced Sing-Sing's abdomen.
Sing-Sing groaned in pain and dropped to her knees.
Fang's hand began to glow a dark purple and the bundle began to float over to him.
"With you out of the way, I will-"Fang stopped short as he saw that it was a log wrapped in a rag.
"What the? But how, did you…? Where is the baby!" Fang roared as the fire grew bigger.
"Far away from here. Not only do you not have my heart, you do not have my child's head. You will never find him and he will defeat you."Sing-Sing said weakly.
Fang's hand glowed dark purple and the fire surrounded Sing-Sing and she screamed in agony as she was burned alive.
"Oh what a tragedy. One of the most beautiful women to ever grace hidden kingdom, is dead. But, a pleasure to me."Fang said evilly.
12 years later…
A handsome 12 year old boy with curly, shoulder length black hair, silver eyes, and blue lips wearing a blue tunic and silver pants with black shoes watched as his father and mother barricaded the door.
"Momma, Poppa… what's going on?"The boy asked.
"Shen-Song, this not will explain it better than we ever could." A woman with graying brown hair said handing a note to the boy.
My name is Shen-Song. I am the rightful heir to the Empire of the Dragons.
My uncle has murdered my Family in an attempt to take over the empire. He succeeded
Now, I ask of you, care for me and when I turn 12, take me to the Cliff of Dragons Fire and allow me to claim control of my kingdom. If you do not do this, all of Hidden Kingdom will fall into fire.
Care for me as if I was your own, and when the time is right tell me of this day.
Written by my mother Queen Sing-Sing of the Dragon Empire.
"I'm confused. What does this mean?"Shen-Song asked
"We found this note attached to you when we found you in our house." A man with grey hair explained.
"So… I was adopted."Shen-Song asked
"Yes. And we are going to take you to this Cliff of Dragons Fire so you can claim your throne." The woman said as she put a black hooded robe over Shen-Song.
"Thank You. I will-"They were interrupted as the house was burned to the ground by a dark purple fire.
"After all these years, Master Fang will be pleased to know his last standing threat is to be dead." A man with a very deep, unnaturally deep, voice said
"Take the boy as far as you can, I'll hold them off!" The man cried as he pulled out a staff.
The woman scoped up the boy and ran as fast as she could and didn't stop, even when she heard her husband's screams off agony.
"What's going on?" Shen-Song asked frantically.
"We can no longer take care of you! Take this note-"The woman handed Shen-Song the note he read moments ago. "And find a place where you can live until you are ready to challenge your uncle and avenge your birth parents and us. Show them this note when you are positive you can trust them!" The woman set Shen-Song down.
"Run, Shen-Song. Run. Run until you find a protector!" The woman cried as Shen-Song ran as fast as his legs could carry him.
The woman's agonizing screams only stalled him for a second, but he ran as fast as he could up a steep cliff.
"We have you know, you little brat!" The deep voiced man cried
Shen-Song continued to run.
But, unfortunately, he ran off the edge of a cliff.
"Today is just not my day." Shen-Song muttered as he plunged head first off the cliff.
"Should we follow him?" A man with a whispery type voice.
"Naw, there is no way he could survive that fall." The deep voiced man said as he and the army turned back.
As Shen-Sung was falling, he began to spin, then, golden like spiral surrounded him, and he was landed safely on the ground.
Shen-Song began to whimper and shake.
The people he thought were his parents were killed, his true parents were killed 12 years ago, and a mad-man that was his supposed uncle wanted him dead.
"Hello! Is anyone here?" A female voice shouted.
Shen-Song was too scared to move.
Then, a woman with short, spiky black hair, blue eyes, and lips wearing a strapless grey dress with a skull on it with a pink out line, red puffed pants, and black shoes walked through a clearing. A creature sat a top of her head
"Oh my goodness! Did you fall all the way from the top of that cliff?" The woman asked
Shen-Song nodded slowly.
"Well, my name is Mystique Sonia and this is Yaksha." Mystique Sonia gestured to the creature on top of her head.
"I… I-I-I'm… S-S-Sh-Shen-Song." Shen-Song introduced himself.
"Well Shen-Song, you looked pretty shaken up. Do you want to come back to Big Green base with me and my friends? We could give you some time to rest before you have to go." Mystique Sonia said sweetly.
"You would do that?" Shen-Song asked
Sonia smiled and nodded.
"Ok." Shen-Song agreed.
Sonia helped him up, and the two walked off to Big Green.
