RISE AND FALL

Part 4: Dragons

"Chung I, why did your ascendants imprison the dragons?"
"The ruler of the dragons was marching his army all over China. He destroyed many villages and wiped out most of China's population."
"How could one dragon army destroy China?"
"The dragons are warriors and also great shamans. They used their magic against the people and took no mercy in the lives they took. The Shinobi clan made a plan to capture the ruler by marching in the dragon's castle. My ascendant, Taisu I, captured the Dragon Lord and punished him by throwing his into the enchanted glass where he and the other dragons have lived for thousands of years."
Mei Pieh was silent. She still did not completely understand. She did not even know what to say. The glass was still confusing to her.
Chung I looked at his confused daughter. "Mei Pieh, I know it is hard for you to understand. I should have told you sooner."
"Yes, I suppose so."
"Understand me when I tell you this." Mei Pieh looked into her father's eyes. "The dragons are demons. They...." Chung was interrupted by a voice that came from the mirror.
"Now why are you telling her such vicious lies about me and my dragons."
"Never lies. Only truth." Chung I told the Dragon Lord.
"Who...what...." Mei Pieh was practically speechless. She couldn't believe what she was hearing from the glass.
"I'm sorry." The voice said to her. "I'm afraid we were not properly introduced. I am the Almighty Dragon Lord, the ruler of all dragons."
Mei Pieh backed up in fear. This Dragon Lord frightened her.
The Dragon Lord saw her backing up. "Yes, be afraid. Be very afraid."
"Silence, demon."
"No. It is you who should be silenced. Now your time is up."
Chung I and Mei Pieh looked at the mirror. It changed somehow. They could see the Realm of Dreams.
The Dragon Lord captured a rat named Splinter and held him captive. It was a trap; a trap for Mei Pieh. He knew she would come for him. Chung I would be dead and she would have to come. To him, the weaker Shinobi was the key to freedom.
