He hated Shen Gong Wu, just like he hated their creator, but he knew for once he'd have to use them. She had denied him, and it had fallen perfectly in his trap. He expected her to say no, how could he not, her parents told her since she was conceived to deny him. It seemed almost in her genetics.
He needed to get her, if not just for his revenge. When her mother had denied him a marriage proposal, only to run into Dashi's hands, he knew he'd get revenge. True he acted happy when his best friend's announced they had an infatuation for eachother, but it was more than anything jealousy. He had been tired of losing things to him, the glory, the women, the power. He however was not ready to lose Tai Li to him.
It was then when he became evil it would be decided he would, no matter what, make sure he'd steal the most important thing to his foe. His Child. He had plotted it for years, and when the child turned out to be a girl it had not bothered him. He had his chance and he was going to take it.
He was also planning on taking her with the help of the devices her father created, as if to put more salt in the wound. He could have converted easily without them, but it would be more wicked this way. And Chase Young enjoyed the idea of wicked.
Creeping quietly down the halls of the place that he for a while helped building he could only follow his senses as to which room was hers.
It stopped him though when he reached what was his room. On the door was marked her name in deep black ink. It was almost like a dagger to him. Silently he pulled back the door and gazed at the sleeping form before him. Face stuffed right into her pillow. He guessed she'd of never known her face was right where his ponytailed hair would rest in the night.
"Slhadow of fear," he whispered to the object, and with that he went straight to her head.
She winced a bit, her dream had changed. She had been having the best dream about the future. She was taking her aging father's place, but then it became corrupted. Standing at a hill she watched as a village was being destroyed straight in front of her. She had the chance to catch the cause of such destruction, but the puzzle box had been destroyed in battle. She heard as villagers cried for her help, but she had been too weakened in battle. It was then she looked up in a fade vision, Chase looking right back at her, as if saying she should of taken his offer.
And so it was revealed to Chase her fear, escaping her dream he smiled. She was scared of failure. Perhaps it was an insecurity. He however could understand such fear. He remembered having such a fear as well. However his foe was much weaker than him. This time it'd be different.
He left the room and snuck out of the temple. He'd make sure to get her, but first he'd have to return the Shen Gong Wu to it's place.
She entered the eating room, her parents both carrying very straight faces, Guan holding an all to similar one. Everyone seemed to be present, all except the family 'pet' Dojo.
"Good morning mother, Father, Guan," she bowed to the three before joining them at the table. It was obvious that they were going to finally tell her. When silence continued and porridge was served they ate in silence. The somber feeling was a bit too strange. That was until they were finished and she was grabbing for their platters.
"Yue. Your parents and I have to discuss something with you," she sat back down putting the dishes back on the table, eying the almost bald master monk at the table.
"If this is about the laundry it was Dojo I swear," she faked a panic.
"It's not at all involving him sweetie. Honey your father, Guan and I have been thinking that it might be time your team of apprentices should join our ranks, and that you should be their leader. Now it's not because of some biased idea that you are the best, nor is it because you are our daughter," Tai Li paused, gazing over at her husband as if she was transferring information to him mentally.
"We wanted to tell you beforehand, so don't go telling anyone, you'll officially be given the position sometime within the week. But now, your partners are waiting out there for you to join them in training, Dojo when he returns from hiding the reversing mirror will take care of the dishes," Dashi had finished off. He personally wanted her to take things easy. He sensed Chase could emerge from wherever he's hiding soon, and that the future dragons should be ready.
"Mother, Father, Master Guan," she gave a little bow to the three, "I am honored to be given such a high role in the defeating of evil," she then headed straight out to the courtyard where her partners were.
