Tai Lung has escaped. I don't know what I have to do, but I have to do something to calm my nerves. What can I do? Train. That always helps me. I'll just go and do some hard core to calm down.
Crane is in the training hall. I can't be around someone. I'm so frustrated right now I don't even trust myself to not hurt someone training with someone else. What else can I do? I could go to my room and meditate. I've never tried it before, but it seems to work for Monkey. No, Viper knows me too well. She would notice my disappearance and know exactly where I went. Besides, right now I could not be still enough to meditate. I pass by the kitchen where Monkey is trying to get to the almond cookies he keeps on the top shelf. Does he really think we don't know where those are? Viper is in the hall we usually reserve for banquets dancing with her ribbon. I've never been a fan of dancing, but she is really good. Mantis is in the first aid room studying nerve points. He keeps fiddling around with his acupuncture needles and a doll. Pretty much every room I usually go to when I'm upset already has someone in there. I've got to do something where I can be alone.
The Field of Deceased Warriors. Basically, it's a cemetery for Kung Fu warriors. I've heard legends of the ghosts coming out at night. I'm not sure if they're talkative, but I'm not sure if I have a complete guarantee of no one bothering me anywhere. It's a better chance of being alone than anywhere else.
You know, it's not so bad out here. I'm still staying pretty close to the edge just in case there are ghosts, but so far it's been quiet. I've actually been able to think about what's going on. If I trust Ooguay so much, why am I worried about Po being the dragon warrior? If he doesn't win, who will save the village? What's that under my foot?
It looks like it's supposed to be a carving of the original Master Croc. There's been many, but my favorite story is of the original with an impenetrable shield of scales. People get the stories mixed up and think the one that's living now goes with that story, but they're wrong. The more I look at this little statue, the more it looks like the original. The skill of carving is that of a child, but a lot of work has obviously been put into this. Probably some child that considers the original to be their hero made this. I guess I'll put this where he is buried. I figure it was made to go there in the first place.
On the memorial is one of his most famous sayings. "You are only as strong as the risks you take." What does that really mean? Well, I guess I better set this toy here. Whoever made this sure put a lot of effort into it. I'm sure Viper is probably looking for me by now. I know nothing really productive came out of this, but it was nice to really be alone. I wish I could do something against Tai Lung though.
Wait, who says I can't? "You are only as strong as the risks you take." I honestly played it safe and stuck with my strengths to be the Dragon Warrior. Maybe I just need to take that risk. That's it! I'll go and fight Tai Lung and prove that Po falling from the sky was an accident. Prove that I should be the Dragon Warrior. I'm going, and there's nothing the rest of the five, that panda, or even Master Shifu can say to stop me.
