By: Michelle



After Chung I finished his tea, Mei Pieh brought the empty cup back into the kitchen and began washing it.

While Mei Pieh was washing the cup, Chung I decided to meditate. He had to warn his friend Splinter and others about the Realm of Dreams. It was no longer a peaceful place. The Dragon Lord was slowly breaking his way in using his mind.

**********************************************************

When Mei Pieh returned in the room, the glass rippling again. Green and orange light lit up the room and wind began blow violently inside their home. It was all coming from the glass She ran around to get closer to her master who was holding his hands up to block the light from blinding him.

"I am frighten Chung I. What is happening?" She shook under her robe. She was scared; this enchanted glass was so strange to her.

"As my adopted daughter and apprentice, it is time for you to understand the mysteries of the glass." He took a deep breath and looked at his frightened daughter. It was finally time for her to know.

"Thousands of years ago, before recorded history, the world was the domain of dragons. Magic users, who are my ascendants, imprisoned them here." He pointed to the glass.

"In this enchanted glass."

"Yes, but something has gone wrong. The dragons have found their way through my mind and into the universal Realm of Dreams."

"What do they want?"

"To take back the world."

As the creature poked his head out of the glass again, Mei Pieh grabbed onto her father's arm. "What else haven't you told me?"
