A/N: Enjoy chapter three

Tigress and Po had now finished eating, and they watched the Sun set behind the hills in the distance

"This is the best thing that has ever happened to me" said Tigress as she cuddled with Po. He put his arm around Tigress

"Me to Tigress" he said kissing her head

They sat there for a while watching the sun set, then Po got up

"Where are you going Po?" asked Tigress

"I got you something" he said with a smile

He went to the basket and pulled out a wrapped up box

"Oh Po you shouldn't have" said Tigress as Po sat next to her and gave her the box

"Open it" he said

Tigress opened the box and gasped

"Po you didn't" she said her face filled with joy, it was the necklace she wanted. Po took it out of the box and helped her put it on. Tigress looked down at it and held it in her hand.

"Thank you so much Po" she turned around to kiss him

As they kissed, the sun had set, and the ruby in the necklace started to glow. When they broke away, they stared at each other's eyes, but Po noticed the glow from the necklace and widened his eyes

"What's wrong Po?" asked Tigress then she noticed the glow coming from the necklace

"W-What's happening Po?" asked Tigress nervousness in her voice

The Necklace began to glow brighter and brighter, Tigress was trying to get it off

"Po help me get if off!" she yelled

Po came to help and finally got it off. They dropped it on the ground, and it continued to glow but then, the two dragons intertwined in the center of the ruby and a red smoke emitted from the necklace a figure was seen from the smoke, it was the figure of a blue eyed white female river fox dressed in a red kimo.

"How has summoned me" the vixen said but in a sweet voice, that calmed Po and Tigress

"Who are you?" asked the fox

"I'm Po"

"And I am Tigress, but who are you?" Tigress asked

The fox smiled "I am Empress Mai, but I am also the spirit of love and affection"

"Why did you come out of that necklace?" asked Po

"This ruby is from the heart of the earth, it symbolizes love and whenever two lovers are joined together near it, I am summoned" said the fox

"But why are you summoned?" asked Tigress

"When two lovers are joined together I am summoned because I need to give them the Test of Truth" said the fox

"The Test of Truth?" asked Po

"I know what that is Po, it tests two lovers to make sure that they will be true to one another" said Tigress

"Correct and it will either take both of you apart or make you grow closer" said the fox

"And how are you supposed to take us apart?" asked Po

The Fox didn't speak, her face changed from one of love and comfort to one of a daring warrior; she only raised her hand and a trail of the red smoke began to wrapped around Tigress

"Tigress!" Po shouted he tried to reach for her but the smoke burned his hands

"Ahh…Tigress! Tigress can you hear me?" he shouted

But there was no answer; he turned around to face the Fox

"Let her go!" he shouted

"The only way you can set her free is if you accept the challenge" said the Fox

"Then I accept" said Po

"Very well" said the fox

She raised her hand and made the smoke that enclosed Tigress disappear along with Tigress

"Wait I thought you would release her if I accepted the challenge!" said Po

"And I am going to keep my word but here is the challenge. It is a riddle

I am just two and two

I am warm, I am cold,

I am lawful, unlawful

A duty, a fault

I am often sold dear,

Good for nothing when bought;

An extraordinary boon,

And a matter of course,

And yielding with pleasure

When taken by force.

Who am I?

If you solve this riddle on when noon strikes the valley on the fourth day from now Tigress shall be freed, however if you do not, she will be trapped in this necklace for an eternity" said the fox

Suddenly the fox started to disappear

"Wait at least let me see her" said Po

The Fox was still fading

"If you look into the necklace she will be revealed to you" said the fox, and with that she disappeared and the necklace layed on the ground Po, walked up to it, and picked it up, then he saw Tigress with a smile on her face.

"Don't worry Tigress I will get you back, I promise" said Po and he ran back to the Palace, clutching the necklace near his heart.
