Chapter 4: Ruiz

Taking this time until training comes to just write my feelings down and living in the Jade Palace has been the best experience of my life after Dai Ling was dead. It's pretty good though because he's been treating me like crap for so long and I couldn't believe that I was adopted by him.

I never met Arizona before, but since I was locked in that dark room, he would often give me food and stuff...until I saw that he escaped with Musaki and I just felt like I want to be free from this place.

After I met him again, we've grown to be close friends and brothers as well. I've also grown close to Musaki too and I couldn't find a better friend than these two and honestly, it's been really great for me.

Doing kung-fu...I really loved it. It just shows that I can't be afraid anymore and that I'll protect my friends from anything that threatens us. The Valley of Peace...I guess what I'll describe in one word...peaceful. It's a lot better than Kong Wolf City, so...

And by the way, today's my 15th birthday. Wonder how I'll celebrate it. Anyways, I gotta go. I know that Shifu's gonna wake us up at any minute so until I write you again...see ya.
