Hélándòu exhaled his breath and looked in the mirror. It was now nighttime and his papa was asleep. He was still awake because he was wondering what was wrong with his yeye. That, and it was a strom outside and he hated storms. But the storm wasn't what was really bothering him now.

He was looking in the mirror to see if there was anything wrong with his person that makes his yeye dislike him so much. When he thought about it, he didn't look like any of the villagers, but then again, neither did his papa, the five, or yeye. But He didn't look like his papa either.

Was that the reason he's never proud of Hélándòu? Because he didn't look like the Dragon Warrior?

Hélándòu grabbed his heart necklace as tears fromed in his eyes, hoping that that wasn't it.

"That's not why, little one."

Hélándòu jumped and started shaking at the voice that came out of nowhere. It was curtainly not from his papa. He watched scared as a green mist appeared in front of him and disappeared to reveal an old turtle wearing a gold and white tunic, holding a long stick.

"Who...you?" Hélándòu asked, struggling with the words.

The turtle smiled down at him.

"I am Oogway." He said. "I am sorry I have not visited in a while."

Hélándòu raised a brow, not really knowing what Oogway was talking about.

"I use to come and take care of you while your papa trained, disgused as a servant." Oogway explained.

Hélándòu nodded understanding.

"I am glad I came when I did." Oogway said, sitting down and pulling the one-year-old cub into his lap. "It seems that my former student, your yeye, is not happy."

Hélándòu hung his head.

"Yeye...no like me." He said, starting to sob.

Oogway shook his head while wipping his tears.

"It is not you that Shifu does not like." He said. "It is who he sees you as he does not like."

"see me as?" The little cub asked.

Oogway nodded sadly.

"You see, he raised a snow leopard like you once named Tai-Lung, who acted just as you do now. He trained him, thinking that he could be the next Dragon Warrior."

Hélándòu raised hid brow again and looked at his papa. He was confused as to why the snow leopard yeye raised wasn't the Dragon Warrior. He looked back at Oogway for answers.

"Everytime Tai-Lung got stronger, Shifu grew more proud of them as a father would...which made it painful for both me and him to refuse Tai-Lung's passage into being the Dragon Warrior."

Hélándòu's ears slowly went down. This was were the story got bad.

"It wasn't Tai-Lung's destiny to be the Dragon Warrior, that fact was not taken by the young leopard lightly and rampaged through the Valley until I was able to stop him. He was sent to Chor-Gom prison, a place where bad people go."

Hélándòu was even more sadden by that, starting to feel sorry for Tai-Lung.

"But twenty years later, he was able to escaped the prison and make his way to the Valley of Peace. The Furious Five tried to stop him, but it was the work of the Dragon Warrior, your father, to defeat him, which is what he did. Ever since, Tai-Lung was nowhere to be found. He was assumed d...not with us anymore."

Hélándòu couldn't believe what he heard. It was probably because they were both snow leopards, but he felt sadden for Tai-Lung's life. He didn't blame his papa, since he was the Dragon Warrior and did what he did for his home. But his yeye also lost a son, that also made the cub feel really bad.

"Don't feel bad about yourself little one." Oogway said. "You have done no wrong. But it's up to you to prove that to Shifu."

Hélándòu looked up at the turtle and smiled.

"I...w-will!" He said proudly.

He wasn't going to make same mistake that Tai-Lung did, he just need to tell his yeye that. Oogway smiled widely at Hélándòu's newfound confidence and stood up holding him. He set the little cub next to his heavily-sleeping father. As Hélándòu started to fall asleep, Oogway started to disappear.

"Get some rest now, Little One." He said. "You have an interesting future in front of you."

With that, Oogway was gone, leaving the cub to wonder, in the morning, if it was a dream.

(For the record, if you don't know how to prenounce Hélándòu's name, it's like this:

Hélándòu(He-Land-oh)
