Part 2: Uneasy Feelings
By: Michelle
Taisu I sat down patiently and listened to the Dragon Lord. The Dragon Lord had something about him that seemed so trustworthy. It was his aura. The Dragon Lord was truly a kind and peaceful being. Unfortunately, the young dragon next to him did not send off that feeling. Taisu I felt uneasy with this youngster whom the Dragon Lord introduced as Ryu. He had a feeling that Ryu would be reason the humans and dragons would split.
************************************************
I came home from my meeting with the lords of Asia. I still had this uneasy feeling about the young dragon I met. I decided to talk to the elders of the village about the feelings inside of me.
So, I called them together. At first they did not understand why I called the meeting. They still didn't give me much respect because I was only 38. I was still considered a "youth" compared to them, but they agreed to listen.
**************************************************
"Taisu I, why have you called us?" One of the elders questioned.
"Yes, what is the meaning of this meeting?" Another replied.
"I call you, Great Elders, because of the meeting I had with the lords of Asia" I took a deep breath. "While there, I met the Dragon Lord's son, Ryu. When around Ryu, I got an uneasy feeling."
"What do you mean by an uneasy feeling?"
"That I am not sure, but I kept thinking about the prophecy the oracle told us many years ago. I, for some reason or another, fear that Ryu is the dragon that will end our friendship with the dragons."
"That's impossible." An elder stood up. "The Dragon Lord is a kind and honest being. I'm sure he teaches his son to be the same."
"I know Sir. But this feeling was strong in me." I defended myself.
Another elder jumped in. "What if his feeling is right? The consequences could be disastrous if we let down our guard." A few of the elders nodded in agreement.
"I know what I felt." I insisted. "And I know something is wrong."
"Then what do you suppose we do about it?"
"I don't know."
