Aislinn LaChance was fairly innocent. By her standards, and the Fauchex's. You see, she was the servant girl to the Fauchex Family in a small village in France. She was treated kindly by the family, one might even say they treat her like family.

Well, except for one member of the family.

Candice Fauchex hated Aislinn. She thinks that she is stealing the attention away from her and she is a mere peasant, a servant girl and she should be treated as such. She treated her badly, tripping her up in corridors when she's carrying stuff, or insulting her when they are alone.

Despite this, Linn continued to serve the entire family loyally, but harbouring a secret hatred for Candice.

One day, the family announced that they were having a special guest the next day.

"…and we must all be on our best behaviour." The master of the house finished.

"Which means that no dirty, peasant servants must be seen." Candice pointed out snobbily, looking directly at Aislinn as she said this.

Linn merely stared back at Candice, but inside she was screaming all sorts of profanities and all manner of murderous rage at the spoiled brat of a girl. She turned on her heel swiftly and left the room, going downstairs into the basement and into her own room. She slammed the door behind her and threw her maid bonnet off onto the bed, slightly dishevelling her hair. The tore her apron off and threw herself onto the bed in frustration, tugging on her hair to vent her anger.

After a while, Linn unlaced her fingers from her dip-dyed locks and grasped the black rosary around her neck. The rosary was given to her at the age of 5 by her parents, whom she barely knew because they left her at the orphanage after giving the rosary to her, where she was bullied countless times because of the rosary. The orphanage was where she was picked up by the Fauchex's.

During the time she was bullied, Linn found that every time she held the rosary, all negative thoughts dissipated from her mind. This was exactly the case as she seized the cross in between her fingers, all mean thoughts about Candice simply melted away like ice in the desert.

Exhaling deeply, Linn closed her eyes and smiled contently before drifting away into her dreamland.

The next morning, Aislinn quickly got dressed and brushed her hair down before replacing her maid bonnet. She looked at her clock and read the time. 11:30.

Sighing heavily, Linn sat back down onto her bed. She knew that Candice would never want her around when the guest, a man named Master Fung, was visiting today.

Then again, Linn hated the rotten bitch.

Creeping up the stairs, Linn slowly pushed the door to the basement open a crack, just in time to see Candice with Master Fung.

"And this is the music room! I'm really good at piano, wanna hear?" Candice hurriedly said before rushing off to the grand piano and slammed her hands on the keys, making dissonant notes.

While Linn covered her ears, Master Fung seemed to not listen to the awful music. Instead, it looked like he was looking for something, or someone.

After a while of banging on the piano, Candice finally led Master Fung away from the room, letting Linn come out of the basement. Closing the door behind her, she made her way over to the piano.

Sitting down onto the stool, she examined the keys and pressed a few of the slammed ones.

Seems like none of the strings or hammers are broken, she thought, I'm surprised considering how hard she was banging on these keys.

Testing the grand piano further, Linn began to play a melody she was taught by the lady of the house. As the tune went further along, her fingers moved more swiftly along the keys, her feet constantly pressed on the pedals, and beautiful music was resonating throughout the room, and to the ears of a certain guest.

Looking around the room, Linn finally saw Master Fung standing in the middle of the room observing her movements.

"Oh!" Linn hurriedly stopped playing her piece, hitting a few other keys in the process, "M-Master Fung, I trust you're not lost? Are you looking for Candice, I'm sure she's-"

"Hush, young one." Master Fung stopped her in her ramblings, "I merely came to see who was playing such beautiful music."

Linn hid her face a little bit at this statement, "Candice says you've come to take her away to China. Something to do with the 'abilities' she has." Linn's voice was laced with an undertone of envy and malice towards the tainted girl.

"I have come to take someone to China, but it is not Candice."

"Oh really? Then who?"

"You."

Linn stumbled and got off the stool immediately, "W-What?"

"You're coming to China, for your abilities."

"B-But, I don't know…"

"You'll learn in time, child. Now come, we'll have to leave now if you want to get to China in time."

Holding out his hand, Master Fung had asked her to come with him. Placing her hand in his, Linn was led away to a life of adventure and Shen Gong Wu, unlocking her true potential as a Xiaolin Dragon.
