Author's note:

The story took the Dynasty Warriors 7, the best Dynasty Warriors sery that I have played, I think :P. Anyway, the original story and the characters belongs to KOEI TECMO. I just made the fanfiction story. Enjoy! :D

Chapter 1 – The Wounded Swallow of Wu

As the winter came, the snow were scattered around the floor. It was cold, every creature hided at their nest to protect themselves from the wind. It seems that every birds have migrated to the warmer area to protect themselves too.

Even the weather was really bad; Lu Xun, the young strategist of Wu, still sat on the Pagoda in the palace's yard, watching the wide sky. Lu Meng, Lu Xun's mentor, was really surprised as he saw his student sat on such bad weather. Quickly he came to Lu Xun as he bought a mantle.

" What's wrong with you, Lu Xun? Why a brilliant strategist who had won the battle still has such unhappy face?" Lu Meng asked as he passed the mantle to Lu Xun.

" Master Lu Meng…? What are you doing here? The wind is really cold, it's not good for your health…" Lu Xun was surprised.

" I was the one who want to ask you the same question. What's wrong with you? Why do you always look sad after you won the battle with Wei last time?"

Lu Xun shook his head, " I…. I…. mmmm…"

" What's wrong? What happened back then?"

Lu Xun lower his face, " Master Lu Meng… can I ask a favor?"

" What is it?"

" Can I have a holiday for a month? I think… I need some rest… "

Lu Meng nodded. " That's ok…" Lu Meng put his arm on Lu Xun's shoulder, "Where do you want to go?"

" Actually I…" Lu Xun paused as he saw a little swallow lied on the snowy floor. Quickly he took the poor little bird on his arms. " A swallow? On this weather…?"

" Maybe it just got lost from his companies who had migrated to the tropical area… Poor little bird…" Lu Meng sighed.

" Poor little fellow…" Lu Xun cupped the little bird with his hands, " I will try to warm its body with my hands…"

Lu Meng smiled," Ok, let's see whether it will succeed or not.."

As Lu Xun held the bird, the bird regained its consciousness and flew around Lu Xun. " It works!" Lu Xun shouted happily as the swallow flew around him.

" It seems that it try to say thank you," Lu Meng praised. " Hey, the swallow flies away again… I hope it can regroup with its companies…"

Lu Xun faced Lu Meng, " Master Lu Meng… Actually that was a place I want to visit. I still can't tell you about the place for some reason… But I promised, I will be back. Please… can I have just one month…?"

Lu Meng silent for a while. " Ok, if that is what you wish. Since you have helped us a lot for the last battle, I will allow it. However, please remember your promise…" Lu Meng stared Lu Xun deeply.

" Thank you so much, Master…" Lu Xun smiled.
