RISE AND FALL
Dragon Lord's View
Part 7: Royal Prison
By: Michelle
She walked over to her brother again. Many millennias they spent here in this prison. They lived forever, never aging, just watching the world pass them by. They all longed to be part of that world again.
"Bitoku, have you seen father?" Kat asked.
"He is looking out the mirror again."
"I should have known. Revenge is more important to him than anything else."
****************************************************************
Not long after I was thrown into the glass, my family and army joined me. Over the new few years, the rest of the dragon race were thrown in also. Tashina and I got into a huge fight. Our sibling bond was broken. I blamed her for our entrapment.
For over 8 millennias, we were captives of the glass. I saw the world pass before my eyes. I saw humans invade humans and humans kill humans; but I was the one imprisoned in the glass. If I was so ruthless, why did all humans remain in their world and dragons trapped. As the world began to become modern, most people had forgotten that dragons existed. Dragons became myths to the world.
Throughout or banishment, the Shinobis constantly placed a guardian over us. I studied each guardian of the glass to find a weak link back into the world. Then, in the 1940s, a new shaman took guard of the glass. His name was Chung I.
Chung I was only in his late 20s when he took guard over the glass. He was a very powerful shaman and he killed Vam Mi, a Chinese vampire. He was also skilled in the martial arts, but I noticed he did not like to fight.
In the early 1970s, Chung I trained a young woman named Mai Li. I thought she would be the next shaman to guard the glass, but I was wrong. She did not train with him for very long . He did trust her greatly and in 1980, he had her watch the glass while he went to a city called New York.
While in New York, Chung I found a small baby turtle floating in a drainage ditch. When he picked her up, she grew into a half turtle half human baby. He considered her to be good luck and to her back to China with him. He called her Mei Pieh Chi which means "Beautiful Turtle of Energy".
I watched Mei Pieh go up to be a beautiful young turtle woman. I felt sorry for her but I envied her at the same time. Mei Pieh reminded me of Kat growing up. I felt sorry for her because she was never allowed to go and come as she pleased. She was always with Chung I. He tried to shelter her from the world because she was different. I also envied her. She was able to live in a world of humans and to grow up. Kira was trapped in her terrible twos for the entire time we were in the glass. Mei Pieh was not thrown into the glass like we were even though she was not a human. I guess this is why Chung I hid her.
One day while Chung I was dream walking, I felt a weak link in the glass. It had something to do with his mind. For a few years I studied this weakness. I watched it grow until I decided to make my move. On September 19, 1997, I made my move.
While Chung I was talking with a Ninja rat master named Splinter, I broke the barrier. I broke into the Realm of Dreams. Chung I tried to warn him, but I quickly seized his spirit and held it captive. The only thing I needed was another to save him. Once saved, I would follow the dream walkers into the real world. I knew Mei Pieh and Splinter's students would open the gateway.
Using a flame of dark energy, I killed Chung I. He was no longer of use. He vowed that there would be another to defeat me. I told him to send his pretty daughter. For the last few hours of his life, Chung I was comforted by Mei Pieh. He told her before his last breaths to go to America and save Splinter. Then, she left.
I waited three days for Mei Pieh and Splinter's students to come for him. It was hard to be patient. While in the REalm of Dreams, I burned it to the ground. On that third day, they came. Splinter had four turtle sons; they were eager to get their father back. I released Splinter with no fight, then I let them leave. I called all the dragons and we followed them out the Realm of Dreams. We were finally free.
