The Dragon Elements: epilogue
Many years ago when the world was formed the Dragon Emperor called upon 4 powerful dragons, each with the ability to control and summon one of the four elements, to create a world for the Dragon emperor to rule over so he let the 4 magical beings create this world in their own image. The Delong, earth dragon, gave the world land like hills, mountains, rocks and canyons. The water dragon, Suilong, gave the world oceans, lakes, rivers and rain. The Fire Dragon, Huolong, brought heat, light and fire to the world. The wind dragon , Fenglong, brought the winds and air to the world so that life can thrive.
Legend has it that the dragons were so impressed and awestricken by the beautiful new world they wanted to live in the world they created together but the Dragon Emperor would not allow it by saying " we are beings above this world. The creatures that will grow here are better off admiring us from afar. They will never understand beings like us so get that useless idea out of your heads." Ordered the great Emperor to the dragons. Forbidden to live on the world but to admire it from afar, they vowed to find a way to live on the world they created together with the creatures they long to meet.
And they did. . .
Many eons later. . . before the Dragon Warrior, before Tai Lung's escape, Before Lord Shen.
"Master Oogway, how long will you be on your. . . journey?" Shifu asked questionably to his long time master. Mater Oogway gave his friend a happily reassuring smile.
"Do not worry Shifu. 2 or 3 moths will go by faster than you expect. I will be back before you get inner peace." Oogway said with a good hearted smile. He than made his way down the numerous steps down. A small sack of four round objects in hand.
Shifu was a little confused on the last thing he said. "um, master, don't you mean ' before you say inner peace'?" Oogway chuckles to himself.
"That too, Shifu." He said to his student happily. Before Shifu could turn back to the Jade Palace, he finally noticed the sack Oogway was holding. Surly he does not plan on living on 4 small peaches for 3 months. Does he? Shifu thought. "Master Oogway, I believe you might need more food than that." Shifu shouted down to the Terrapin Master who was now on the 30 step down. He points to the bag.
Oogway just gave him a reassuring but amused smile. "Oh, they are not for me Shifu. They are for my old Friends to wake up."
I give up! Shifu thought mentally. I swear, sometimes I have no idea what goes through my master's head. However, it has not steered me or anyone wrong so I guess he knows what he is doing. Of course he does! Master Oogway is the wisest of anyone. Shifu argues to himself.
He looks down once more to see that his master is gone. "Now I will go meditate" he says to himself and with that he makes his way to the Jade Palace.
