Venus' View
Part 5: Death of Chung I

By: Michelle



"Dragons, I am Chung I, Master of the Internal Arts. I demand you to release the Ninja master."
Dead silence came from the glass. "Respond, I command it."

The Dragon Lord stuck his head back out of the mirror. "Your services are no longer required magician. Soon we will use the dreams of man to gain entrance into the world of man."

"No!"

"Oh, yes!"

Then, the Dragon Lord blew a flame out of his mouth. I hit Chung I, throwing him on his back. Mei Pieh rushed to her weak father's side.

"There will be another to defeat you." Chung I said weakly.

"Good. Send your pretty daughter." Then, the Dragon Lord when back into the glass.

A few hours later, Mei Pieh was still at her father's side. He was dying and she knew it. She hated to see him suffer so much.

"There isn't much time.....You must go to New York....to Splinter's home......You are his...only...hope." With that, his eyes closed and his spirit left his body.

"Yes, Chung I. I will do what you say." Tears filled Mei Pieh's eyes as she pulled her hood off. "I...I...I will go to America." She bent her her down and sobbed for the loss of Chung I, the only person she ever knew and loved.
