Author note: I own nothing! If you've ever seen the show Gargoyles then this might seem somewhat familiar to the episode The Mirror. Also their will be familiar characters and plots from othe random things mixed in. This chap is short and most likely not that good. Sorry.

*The Dragon Basin*

-Short Intro: It Was Stolen By Who?

It was dark out. Nothing could be seen or heard other than the noises the guards made while marching. They had to be on alert,ahat they were guarding was legendary. Setting on a podium between to guards was a medium basin.

But this was no ordinary basin...according to legend and myth it was Eryanghuatai de pendi* and had power that was unfathomable. But nobody really believed that. In these times, no one believed that Eryanghuatai*, the dragon queen, or Ao bo lun*, the dragon king, or their magical isle, A wa long*, even existed at all. They were simply a story to tell chidren anymore.

The basin was lovely. Silver and four feet across, at the bottom of it was a golden dragon, thought to be an engraving of the dragon queen herself, that wrapped around the edge of the basin. It was embedded with numorous jems stones and had an all around mystic look about it.

The two guards, a wolf and a snake, were pacing back and forth at the moment. Really, these two thought that it was stupid to be guarding this artifact as though it were a weapon. To them it was just just of fancy bowl, not really all that dangerous.

Then the temperature of the room dropped about twenty degrees. Considering that it had been a fairly warm day this made a good bit difference to the two.

"Wierd," the wolf said under his breath.

Suddenly a shadow lunged at him, pinning him to the wall. His partner froze from shock, because it was a shadow that had attacked his partner.

Getting a grip, the snake lunged to the shadow...only to go right through it. The shadow then divided and captured the snake. After the two passed out from lack of air supply the shadow let him go. It knew that they wouldn't remember a thing anyway. Plus the less pain he caused now the less it would take to get back his life.

The shadow flew over the basin, causing it to float in midair. The basin floated through the doors that the shadow had opened, passed over the other unconsious guards, and into the woods.

Once in the woods the basin floated into a secluded cave, the shadow dipped it into a small pond that resided in the cave. Once it was full the shadow placed the basin on the ground below a hole in the caves roof. The light of the full moon glistened beautifully in the basin.

One of the legends of the basin was that shadows would get their faces back by looking in the basin when it was filled with water on nights when moon is full.

Now hovering above the basin the shadow looked and saw his face again. In the basin was the reflection of a snow leopard with golden eyes.

The reflection was of Tai Lung.

Review! See not all that good. Sorry!
