Okay, this is my first Mulan fanfic, but I'm going to try my best! I usually write Dragon Ball Z ones, so this is going to be very different for me! Anyway, here goes!
I don't own anything to do with the Mulan movie. I own my storyline but not the Disney characters I'm using.
Shang walked silently up the walk to his home. Since his mother learned of his father's death, she had since passed away. The doctor said it was from a broken heart. The house is by no means empty, however.
The warrior sets down his helmet as a maid comes in. She is a young woman, though she looks much older than she is. Her hair is jet black and pulled up into a bun and she has a pale face. She wears a dark kimono-style dress. She bows deeply and motions for Shang to follow her. He complies and he is led into a rather dark room. His meal is hot and he kneels down on a cushion to eat.
"General?" The maid bowed again. "You have a visitor."
"Send him in." The General answered coldly. She bowed sadly and left the room. The maid returned a moment later with a messenger from the emperor. Again, she bowed and left the room.
"You have a message from me?" Shang demanded, getting right to business.
"Yes. The Emperor needs you to come to the palace right away. Urgent business."
"When must I leave?"
"Tomorrow morning." The messenger replied.
"I will leave tomorrow then. Will you be accompanying me back to the palace?"
"If you will allow me to stay the night."
"I will have one of my maids show you to a guest room." Shang answered. "Mei." He snapped. The same maid from before walked back into the room and bowed.
"Yes?"
"Show this man to a guestroom." Shang ordered.
"Yes, sir." Mei bowed and waited for the messenger to rise. He also bowed and followed Mei to his room for the night. Shang finished his meal in silence and walked to his own room. He washes his face in a wash basin and removes his clothing to put on clothes for sleeping.
"Mulan," Fa Zou addressed his daughter at dinner. Grandmother Fa and Fa Li glanced at each other nervously. Mulan wondered why but turned back to her father.
"Yes, Baba."
"We have gotten word from the Emperor. He needs you to return to the palace."
"What? Why?" Mulan was confused.
"I do not know. The messenger only said that you should leave right away in the morning. You will take Khan and meet him at the edge of the city. He will be riding one of the imperial white stallions. That is how he said you will find him."
"Okay, Baba, I'll go." Mulan decided even though it wasn't hers to decide. The rest of the meal was finished in silence. Mulan was sent to bed early in order to be rested for her long journey to the imperial palace.
Okay, I'll see how this goes over! If I get any names wrong, please let me know!
