The Jade Warrior

Chapter Six: A Time to Remember
Po showed Chi around the Jade Palace. After the tour Mantis mentioned the fact that Po was hiding something from Chi.
"Thanks, Mantis." The panda said hotly.
"Sorry." The insect said to the fourth time.
"Well?" Chi asked.
"Chi." Po said.
"Yeah?"
"Can you please not ask anymore?"
"Why?"
"Will you not get angry?"
"I'm getting angry now." The vixen said in cold fury.
"Okay!" Po exclaimed, "I sorta miss being known as a normal guy."
"That's all?" Chi asked.
"Uh…Yeah."
"Hmm…Okay."
"You're not mad?" The panda asked.
"I'm mad because you kept something from me after I found out about you hiding something." The vixen explained.
"Okay, granted."
"So you're friends again." Viper asked.
"Yeah." Chi confirmed.
"That's great." Mantis announced.
Crane was a bit quiet through the tour and it bothered the fox.
"What's wrong?"
The bird did not look at her when he answered.
"I don't know; it feels like we're being followed."
"Ya know, I have the same feeling." The vixen announced, "Po, I think it's about time to go place to your dad's restaurant."
"I think you're right." Po responded.
Later that night, Chi and Po were talking while eating noodles.
"Really?" The fox asked, after slurping noodles into her mouth.
"Yeah! Tai Lung was very close to Shifu until he was denied the Dragon Scroll." The panda said.
"And the Valley?"
"He went on a rampage."
"Was anyone killed?" The vixen asked, shocked by the story.
"Only one."
"Who was it?"
"I don't know; it only thing I know about her is that she was suppose to be the Jade Warrior."
"The Jade Warrior?" Chi asked, "You'll have to explain that to me."
"I don't know much about her, and I'm a Kung Fu expert." Po announced.
"Tell." The vixen said coldly.
"Okay!" Po exclaimed a bit, "The Jade Warrior is a special kind of warrior like the Dragon Warrior."
"How?"
"They are chosen."
The fox sighed heavily.
"I asked, 'How?'"
"Oogway chose the Dragon Warrior." Po said.
"Po!" Chi said, losing her patience.
"The spiritual leader of the Valley of Peace chooses the Warriors."
"And?"
"And that's it."
The vixen fell silent.
"I know it sounds weird but it's true."
"I'm going to bed." Chi said, "I've got a headache."
"But…"
Po tried to say something, but Chi wouldn't listen.
"Night, Chi."
Chi was asleep when she had another dream.
There was Vixen and Tai Lung, grown up and ready to fight.
"Are you ready to lose, Tai Lung?" Vixen asked.
"You're joking, right?" Responded the snow leopard.
"What do you think?" The fox said, cocky with the thought of victory.
"Stop!" The aged voice of Oogway spoke.
The two rivals stopped and turned to the tortoise.
"Yes, Master Oogway." The two said as their showed their respect.
"Vixen, I need to see you in the Hall of Heroes." The ancient creature announced.
The fox wanted to know, but did not ask. She waited until Oogway had walked away.
"What have you done now, Vixen?" Tai Lung asked, eager to hear his friend's mischief.
"I don't know." Vixen answered before leaving to the Hall of Heroes.
Vixen entered the Hall. She saw the many weapons and armor of warriors from the past.
"I wonder why Oogway wants with me?" The fox asked herself as she made her way to the pool.
The pool is where Oogway would mediate for days and nights. Above the pool was a golden statue of a dragon with emeralds for eyes, and in it's mouth was the legendary Dragon Scroll, which has been waiting for nearly a thousand years for the Dragon Warrior to read and obtain it's power.
"Master Oogway?" Vixen asked, feeling a little scared.
"Vixen, so good that you came when I asked." The master said as he seemingly appeared out of the darkness.
"Master Oogway, am I in trouble again?" The fox asked like a child about to face her mother's wrath.
"No." The old one chuckled, "It's about your destiny."
"My destiny?" Vixen asked.
"Yes."
"May I ask why?"
"Soon the Dragon Warrior will be chosen." Oogway answered calmly.
"The Dragon Warrior." The fox said, awestruck. Then, she looked up at the dragon statue.
"I have known about it for some time." The tortoise said.
"But does it mean that the Jade Warrior will be chosen soon as well?" Vixen asked.
"She has been chosen."
"What?" The fox asked, not knowing what he meant.
"She was chosen long ago." Oogway explained.
"Who is it?" Vixen asked, trying to contain her frustration.
Chi had waked up in the middle of the night.
"The Jade Warrior?" The fox asked herself.
She tried to go back asleep, thinking that she have to dream to find out who the Jade Warrior is.
