Chapter 4: A New Adventure
Once Shifu, Po, and Hiccup went outside, the others watched as Shifu begins to unroll the letter. It said:
I AM ROZELLE, LORD OF THE TAI WAN CHI CLAN. I AM TRYING TO FIND THE MOST POWERFUL DRAGON IN ALL OF CHINA. MY PLAN IS TO CAPTURE IT AND STEAL ITS POWER SO I CAN USE IT TO RULE ALL OF CHINA. UNLESS YOU WANT TO STOP ME, YOU MUST SEND YOUR EXCELLENT WARRIORS TO FIND ME AND PROVE IF THEY CAN DEFEAT ME. FIRST, THE REASON WHY I AM LOOKING FOR THE DRAGON IS BECAUSE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL OBJECT KNOWN AS THE DAGGER OF TRUTH IS HIDDEN IN ANOTHER PLACE. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE IT IS, BUT ONCE I FIND IT, I WILL USE IT TO DRAIN THE DRAGON'S POWERS. YOUR WARRIORS MUST TRAVEL TO MY HOMETOWN FIRST. DO THIS AND I WILL BE REALLY GRATEFUL. DO NOT DO THIS AND I WILL SEND OUT MY SOLDIERS TO KILL THEM. UNDERSTAND?
Shifu rolls the letter and spoke. "It is a new evil force", said Shifu, "Po, Hiccup, you and your friends will sleep for the night and then, you will be on your journey to find Rozelle and stop him from finding the most powerful dragon in all of China. I do not know what it is called." "I think...", said Stoick, "I know what it's called, Shifu. Hiccup, there's something you need to know." "What is it, dad?", asked Hiccup and came towards him. "The dragon", said Stoick, "is called the Chinese Dragon." "What's a... chinese dragon?", asked Hiccup. "It is a dragon unlike anything you've ever seen. There was the time of our ancestors when they fought against their enemies known as the Hyan clan. During the war, they killed half of them, but some of them fought back and claimed victory in their land. Then, they saw the dragon and the leader of our ancestors named Ryundar had an agreement with the Chinese Dragon that he would transfer him and the other vikings into him so he can gain strength. The agreement was made and hid his sacred treasure that can only be open if one viking finds the crystal dagger known as the "Dagger of Truth". It's only a matter of time before this Rozelle will stop at nothing to find that dragon." Hiccup had time to believe whether or not it's true, but had no choice and respects what his father had said to him. "I believe you now, dad", said Hiccup, "and this time, you and Goober are coming with us in this new adventure." Stoick put his hand on Hiccup and said, "Thank you, Hiccup", and they hugged each other.
Meanwhile, back at Saiku's house in the nighttime, we see Prince Oai overhearing what the others are thinking about what to do with the prince. "Let's just send him back to his home", said Royo, "Who cares?" "He's just a prince", said Saiku. "You said you were gonna get rid of him", said Royo. "No", said Saiku, "I said "I will take care of him". It'll be like... murdering a guest." "And do you expect the panther's soldiers are treating their guests?", asked Royo sternly. "I knew what I was doing", said Saiku, "It's not the prince's fault." Then, Oai takes out his dagger and attempts to strike Saiku, but is pinned to the ground quickly by Royo. "I knew it!", said Royo, "We should've killed him when we had the chance!" "You know why we can't", said Saiku. "If we're taking a vote, I'm with him", said Oai and looks at the armadillo. "We can't let him go", said Royo, "He's an imposter!" "Enough, Royo", said Saiku, "Or I'll pin you to the ground." Then, he turns to the prince. "Now, how did you come here, Oai?", asked Saiku. "How do you know my name?", asked Oai. "We know you're from the castle, but, sadly, we haven't seen you before", explained Saiku. Oai gets confused. "Now tell us who are you running from", said Saiku. "I was running from the guards", said Oai, "I've heard my uncle planning to kill me and find the Chinese Dragon himself."
"You mean, the lord", said Saiku. "Yes", said Oai, "He took over the throne after my father and mother died when I was a little baby." "Isn't there something you want to tell us?", asked Royo, now curious. Oai is unsure, but it seems like he has no choice.
I'll update again by tomorrow.
