After Chi Fu had told Shang that they were needed in helping to fight the
Huns, I ran over to Mulan's tent to tell her the good news. When I arrived
there she seemed to be lost out in space because she was just staring at
the wall. "Mulan, what are you doing?" I asked her. She did not answer me
but sighed a big sigh. I growled and walked over to her. "Earth to Mulan,
come in Mulan, over," I said as I hit her on the head. She quickly regained
her senses and looked over at me. "Oh sorry Mushu I was thinking about
home," she said. "Uh huh," I said rather sarcastically, I knew what she was
really thinking about and that was Shang, she had that look about her when
I saw her out in la la land. "Where were you all this time any way?" asked
Mulan. "Oh I was just wandering the camp, seeing what the other soldiers
were doing, I also heard some good news," I said to Mulan. "What, what did
you hear?" asked Mulan sounding excited. "I heard Chi Fu say that he
received an urgent message from the general, he needs our help," I said to
her. "Really, we're finally going to fight?" she said happily. "Yup, and I
will protect you with whatever you do," I said. "Thanks Mushu," said Mulan.
"Hey what are guardians for," I said.
Suddenly Shang opened the tent. "Ping I just wanted to let you know that we are needed in helping my father at the Tung Shao Pass, we are leaving tomorrow when the sun comes up so be ready," he said and walked off to tell the other troops. "I guess I should pack my things," said Mulan who then took all of her belongings and put them in a sack. Cri Kee and I just watched her, she did not look nervous at all, I wondered if she really knew what the Huns were like. I remember when I helped Fa Dang those many years ago fight another group of Huns and they were very fierce, one of the reasons Fa Dang was killed and because of my stupidity. Maybe I should tell you about it since many have always wanted to know.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I remember like it was yesterday, I sat upon my perch that I used to sit on before I was switched as an incense burner. It was late at night and I could hear the temple creaking because of the heavy winds that were coming in that day and all was silent until first ancestor awoke and called all the other ancestors awake. I could hear them talking about a member in the family named Fa Dang who had been sent to a camp to train to fight against an army of Huns three weeks ago. Now the ancestors felt that he needed a guardian because it was time for them to fight the Huns.
I wondered who it would be this time, I had not been a guardian in many years and I felt that it was right for me to do it next. I guess the ancestors thought that too and woke me from my perch. I quickly came to life and I did not make a grand entrance like I did when he needed me to wake the great stone dragon. "What is it that you need sir?" I said happily when I finally got my baring straight. "We have decided to send you out and guard Fa Dang in a battle with the Huns," said the first ancestor. I then jumped for joy until first ancestor stopped me by bopping me on the head. "Will you promise to help him and not get him into any trouble?" asked first ancestor. "Oh don't you worry about that I will protect him and I will keep him company," I said still jumping up and down a little.
Suddenly another ancestor whose name was Fu Yong grabbed me. "Do you promise not to get him into trouble like you got me into trouble," he said angrily. I nodded at him a little scared by his sudden attack on me. Fu Yong never liked me after I told him that he should lead this one expedition to a mountain because the original leader had to head back home from a back injury. His leadership skills were not that good and neither was mine and soon a revolt broke out. Fu Yong was then attacked in the middle of the night one night. They punched him, stabbed him, and beat him until he pleaded for mercy. They all then left him on the mountain where he was stuck there for two weeks. When he finally found his way off it, he had pneumonia and almost died. Luckily he lived but he never really recovered from it and never talked to me again, he also did not want me to be his guardian any more.
Fu Yong then put me down and first ancestor began to talk. "He's right about that Mushu, no slipups this time and if you do slipup, you will no longer be a guardian," he said. I gulped at the sound of that and waited to hear more of what he had to say. "Now Fa Dang is at the De Suri plain in the north, the battle will start in two days, do you think you can make it there in time?" he asked. "Yes I think I will be able to," I said to him. "Good now go the fate of the Fa family rests in your claws," said first ancestor, yes he does say that fate of the Fa family thing every time he sends someone out. I nodded and ran off in the direction of the plain, hoping to please them greatly.
I arrived by the next night, all the men were by the fire telling jokes about women and other things men liked. Fa Dang was on the far end of it looking quite tired but amused by the other men's antics. I walked up to him and tapped him on the leg. He looked down at me and smiled. "Let me guess, are you a guardian to protect me," he said. "How did you know?" I asked. "My father had one when he had to see the emperor about an issue many years ago," he said. "I'm glad you didn't freak out then, your ancestor Fu Yong screamed when he first saw me," I said. Fa Dang laughed and then picked me up. "Man the ancestors have a great sense of humor," he said. "Why is that?" I asked. "Because your travel sized for my convenience," he said. "I should remember to tell that to the next person I take care of," I said. And of course I did.
After a few minutes of watching the men joke around Fa Dang decided to go to his tent and talk to me about what was happening. "We are fighting a group of Huns called Hyu Po they are a small group though, only five hundred strong and we killed ten of them today because they were spying on us," he told me. "Where are they right now?" I asked. "You can't see it but they are over that ridge over there and once morning breaks the battle will start, so you better be ready to help me," he said. "You can count on me," I told him. Fa Dang just smiled and for a few hours we talked about strategies for tomorrows fight and what Fa Dang planned on doing when he went home.
The next morning, I was awakened by Fa Dang who was all dressed and ready to go. "The Huns are getting ready, follow me," he said. I then climbed on him and hid behind his collar like I did with Mulan. We then walked out to where all the other soldiers were standing and watched the Huns. "They seem to be almost ready, once they clear the ridge, we run up and fight them," said the general. I looked at Fa Dang; he showed no sign of nervousness and was already clutching his sword. We stood there for a very long time until suddenly a Hun jumped out from behind the ridge and ran toward us. One soldier ended his life with just one shot of his arrow.
Suddenly the whole Hun army came out, the general then yelled "charge" and Fa Dang ran full toward them. We reached them only a few seconds later and he immediately took down a Hun with one stroke of his sword. He took down another not ten seconds after. I was surprised by how well he could fight and I wondered why the ancestors even wanted someone to help him. But I figured out that answer when a Hun snuck up behind him. I yelled at Fa Dang who then turned quickly and fought the Hun, they clashed swords for a while and once another Hun tried to kill him and I warned him, he just stepped out of the way when the Hun he was fighting jabbed and stabbed the other Hun instead. Fa Dang then stabbed him in the back.
By the afternoon, the Huns had lost half of their members and most have been from Fa Dang. The Huns then decided to retreat back to the ridge so they could asses their damages while the soldiers went back to the camp and waited for them to come back. Fa Dang decided to rest up in the tent and clean some of his wounds he received. He was stabbed a few times, but they were not very deep so he would recover quickly. Once he was satisfied with what he had done he talked to me. "Thanks for the back up today, I needed it," he said. "Hey I'm your guardian that is what I am supposed to do," I said. "Boy there was some close calls though," he said. "Yeah some of those I did not see until they were almost on you," I said. "Good job though, I hope the ancestors call you in more often because you are very good at protecting us," he said. "Thanks," I said. Fa Dang then walked out of the tent and joined the soldiers who were discussing the fight, I just stayed in the tent and slept since it had been a long day.
The next morning the soldiers waited again for the Huns to appear. We waited for a longer time this time and when a Hun did come out it was Hyu Po the leader. The soldier with the arrow wanted to shoot him but the general said no and watched him until he stopped halfway and began to speak. "Since there are much more of you than us now, I have decided to fight the one who has killed most of my men to the death. If he wins we will leave, if I win, we fight you all again until one of us can no longer fight, now which one of you has killed the most?" he asked. Fa Dang then stepped forward. "That would have been me," he said. "Then come out and meet me," said Hyu Po. Fa Dang nodded and walked out. "Do you still need me?" I asked. "Yes I want you to watch for assassins," he said. I nodded, you can never trust a Hun, they have assassins everywhere.
Once Fa Dang reached Hyu Po both looked at each other angrily. Suddenly Hyu Po ran out with his sword but Fa Dang moved out of the way quickly and Fa Dang stabbed Hyu Po in the side. Hyu Po roared in rage and tried to attack again but missed. The battle lasted for a very long time and soon both men were suffering from deep and heavy wounds. I had been watching the ridge for assassins but soon I was so into the fight that I forgot and did not see an archer aiming his arrow at Fa Dang until it was too late. I saw it happen right when he let the arrow fly. "Fa Dang!" I yelled but it was too late, the arrow hit him in the side. Fa Dang let out a cry of pain and clutched his side. "You okay?" I asked him. "I'm not sure," he said. I then looked up just in time to see Hyu Po lift his sword to give him the final blow. "Fa Dang!" I said again but I did not say it in time.
A cloud of smoke then enveloped me and I soon found myself in the family temple. "Mushu, you have failed," came a voice it was the first ancestor. "I'm sorry I just got so into the fight that I forgot to watch," I said. "Look what you did to me," said a familiar voice, I turned around and saw Fa Dang's ghost holding his head. "Because of your foolishness, you are now no longer a guardian," said first ancestor. "Can't you give me another chance?" I cried. "You said the same thing last time but now I cannot let you do it again," said first ancestor. "Where do I go now though?" I asked. "Well I have noticed that we are in need of an incense burner so that is what you are going to be," said first ancestor.
Before I could even respond, first ancestor grabbed me and shaped me into an incense burner. "May you bring lovely smells to the family for all eternity, and a gong ringer to wake up the ancestors," he said. I then tried to move but I was fixed to the spot. I would be fixed there until I was needed, which would be every couple decades. And I vowed that one day I would try to be a guardian again and not mess up like I had done those last two times.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I kept thinking about that day when Fa Dang died throughout the journey. I kept hoping that Mulan would be able to fight and that she would not go down with the first blow. She still did not look too nervous about what was going to happen and most of the time would play practical jokes with Chien Po, Yao, and Ling who were all talking about what kind of girl they would want. Mulan just went with the flow and pretended she liked girls who had a brain and always spoke their minds. Of course the other soldiers thought that was so lame.
About a week later we arrived toward the mountains, it had been snowing recently so there was a lot on the ground. The soldiers would make snowmen and get into snowball fights and I even pinned Cri Kee with a cricket sized snowball once. We were having loads of fun until something tragic caught our eyes.
There in front of us was the village we were supposed to come and help but it was barely a village now, it was all burned and there were no signs of survivors. "Search for survivors," said Shang who sounded like he was in tears. The soldiers did what they were told and searched the area. Mulan was the only one who found a survivor but it was only a doll that a child had played with. Why would any one want to kill a child, they are so harmless and loving, not worth killing.
Shang walked up to Mulan still looking quite scared. "I don't understand, my father should have been here," he said. "Captain!" came Chi Fu's voice from a few feet away. Shang and Mulan turned around and ran over to Chi Fu who was pointing to the bottom of a hill; he looked all wide eyed and scared. Every soldier came running to see what it was and saw a gruesome site before their eyes. Every soldier from Shang's father's army and every inhabitant in the village were lying in the gorge, dead, killed by those ruthless Huns. It made me sick to my stomach; the villagers never did anything to deserve this. I then saw Chien Po climb up from the gorge and handed Shang a helmet, the general's helmet.
Shang took it from him and walked to the edge of the cliff. He then took out his sword and stuck it in the snow. He then knelt down and put the helmet on top of it. I felt terrible, he lost his father just like that, he never had a chance to say goodbye or I love you. He would never again spend time with his father, to talk to him, even play with him.
I then saw Mulan walk up to him. She was too quiet to be heard but I think she said that she was sorry about what happened. Shang just got up and touched her on the shoulder before mounting his horse. He was silent for a few minutes and then he spoke up. "The Huns are moving quickly, we'll make better time to the Imperial City through the Tung Shao Pass, we're the only hope for the emperor now, move out," he said.
Everyone was silent as they followed him up to the pass. I quickly noticed that Mulan was not with them and turned to see her setting the child's doll down against the sword. Its hair blowing slowly against the wind, the only thing left from the whole village that belonged to a child who will never again see her next birthday or see another sun set below the mountains where she called home.
Mulan soon joined us beside the cart, she was silent and I was too. I just could not talk about it and I knew that Mulan could not either. I then went over to a corner and cried, I cried like I had never cried before. I was now scared because of what the Huns had done, and soon we would be facing them. I wondered if we would stand a chance, if Mulan ended up like Fa Dang, or if we would end the Huns reign for good. I hoped that we would defeat them, but there would be no guarantee because both sides would suffer heavy losses once we met. The fake letter I had given to Chi Fu was true, they did need help, but we did not arrive in time and we really were the only hope for the Emperor and everyone else in the Imperial City.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
There's chapter five for you. I hope you liked it. Sorry about how short the story of Fa Dang was I did not want to make it too long or it probably would have been boring or something, it took me so long to write it too because I kept changing my mind about how to write it, that is why this chapter took so long getting up. Also if any of you have not noticed I do accept anonymous reviews, I forgot to click on the check that said I could in my log in area. That is all I have to say for now, I will hopefully have the next chapter up by next week so have a nice week and have fun writing.
