Chapter 1: A Typical Morning

Reality:

"NO!"

A sweaty Zhou Yu jumped out of bed. He looked around. He had that dream again…of what had happened before. Outside the window, the birds had started chirping already. He looked down at his bed, and his wife, Xiao Qiao, was just getting up.

"Again? Zhou Yu…Why do you wake up like that so many times?"

"I'm…sorry…"

"Why? What's wrong, dear?"

"It's nothing…really…"

"Ok, well I'm going to get up for breakfast now. Meet you in the dining hall!"

"Alright…I'll be right there…Give me a minute."

Dining Hall:

"Arrg! Sun Ce! Your brother did it again!"

Sun Ce replied, "What did he do wrong now?"

"He woke up screaming!"

Da Qiao came out from behind Sun Ce. "I'm worried for him…What might be troubling his mind…?"

"I think I might have an idea…" said Sun Ce.

Eager, Xiao Qiao asked, "Tell me! Tell me!"

"Alright…Well, it was a foggy day…"

"Hey!" Zhou Yu came out from the hallway. "I told you never to tell that…to anyone…"

"It doesn't matter, Xiao. It happened before my father's death…so quite a while ago…"

"Shut up!"

"OK! OK!"

Angrily, Zhou Yu replied, "Don't tell your wife either…No matter WHAT she might do to coerce you…"

Da Qiao said, "Hey!"

"Yeah…but what if she…" asked Sun Ce.

"Never!"

"Zhou Yu! I'm your wife! Your secrets are safe with me. C'mon! Tell me," Xiao Qiao said eagerly.

"I'm sorry…but…no."

"Hey hey hey! What's with all the tension so early in the morning!" Gan Ning and his crew walked out from the hallway.

Lu Meng said, "Yeah! Mornings are for quiet relaxation."

"HAH! No they are not! Mornings are for training!" Huang Gai stomped out from behind.

A lazy Taishi Ci came out from behind. "Aww…Not again…C'mon!"

"Does it look like I give a shi…"

Sun Shang Xiang walked out. "Fine! We'll go! Ok? Happy…?"

"Very."

Zhou Tai scolded them all. "Lazy imebeciles…Let's go."

Sun Ce commanded everyone, "Ok! Let's go Wu generals! To the training grounds!"

Sun Quan said to Zhou Yu, "Hey…You might want to go get your trainee, Lu Xun…"

"And don't forget your other pupil! Me!" An eager Xiao Qiao said from behind.

"Knowing Lu Xun, he's probably already there…" said Zhou Yu.

Training Grounds:

"Ah! It's freezing out here! 8:00 in the morning!" said Sun Shang Xiang.

"Hey guys! Good morning! Glad to see you all here!" Lu Xun walked out from the fogs. He was already a bit sweaty from the training.

Huang Gai commanded, "OK! People! Instructors, take your groups to the stations. For today, we'll have the stations for archery, melee, and horse riding."

Sun Quan, Sun Shang Xiang, and Da Qiao walked off with Sun Ce to the arching grounds. Zhou Yu lead Xiao Qiao, Lu Xun, and Zhou Tai off to the melee area, while Huang Gai took his group, Gan Ning, Lu Meng, and Taishi Ci to the stables.

Gan Ning said to Lu Meng and Taishi Ci, "Hah! Today, I shall own you all!"

Lu Meng replied, "Show me! Prove it!"

Taishi Ci scoffed, "You're all wrong! I shall win!"

Complaining, Huang Gai looked to the sky and sighed. "Why me! Why must I have these three!"
