To Readers: Hey, this is my first DW fanfic, so please R&R!!! Uh. . . I'm
not from the US, so I didn't play the American version. I kinda can get the
hang of it, but I might get some of the English names wrong, so. . . if I
make those mistakes, I'm really sorry and please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks! R&R
What A Few Heroes Can Do
Chapter 1: The Time of Chaos
In the year 184, 5 years before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there was a 10- year old boy living in the area of Sang-San, located in the northern parts of China. He often heard from his parents and townspeople that the Han was dying and there would be a war. "Dammit. Those idiots that work under the king don't know anything else other than money. By the way they're going, this whole countries going down!"
Zhao Yun turned to look at the man who said that. Many people started to gather around and talk about it.
"Why don't we just get a lot of men together and just destroy the Han?"
"You mean, betray our country?"
"You call this a country? Taxes are getting higher and we're barely making a living here. A few more years and nobody will be left in Han."
"Well, let's just wait around and see. We need a leader that'll lead us to freedom. We'll just have to wait until more people start to share our thoughts."
After they talked for a little while, the crowd broke up and went to different directions. Zhao Yun thought about what those men had said. They needed a leader. Maybe it was just he, but Zhao Yun suddenly had the urge to become a leader and lead the people to a new world.
"Hey, Zhao Yun!"
His friend, Sun Ce came along. Sun Ce was actually from the land of Wu, but Jiang Dong's Tiger, Sun Jian, sent him to Sang-San. Sun Ce also had a great interest in fighting as well. His father decided to send him to Mount Sang, where a wise man by the name of Jwa Jwa lived. Zhao Yun decided to go with Sun Ce.
"Hey, Sun Ce! Ready?"
"Ready when you are!"
The two 10-year olds ran up the mountain as fast as they could. They ran for nearly an hour, but there was no end to the big mountain. Finally, they got to a plateau and they could feel this weird aura around the plateau. Sensing danger, Zhou Yun yelled, "Look out!"
Sun Ce looked up and dodged just in time as a number of big boulders fell down and made a gigantic pile on the spot Sun Ce had been.
"I have a feeling that somebody's not welcoming us."
Zhou Yun walked a little farther to see a small house and an old man with a long and white hair.
"Fools who don't know what's for your own good! You little kids should be helping your parents! I won't allow any trespassers!"
The old man sent a few fireballs at them and Zhou Yun was so surprised at the fireballs, that he just stared at it coming to him until Sun Ce pushed him away. Then gathering courage, Sun Ce yelled, "We're no trespassers! My name is Sun Ce, son of Sun Jian, Jiang Dong's Tiger! I have come with my friend Zhou Yun to learn the ways of fighting! We will use our power to get rid of this chaos!"
The old man just looked at them, and Zhou Yun knew that he didn't believe in them.
"You kids may talk big, but you don't what it's like fighting. I also had the same idea as you when I was a youngster, but I just wish that I had never known. Just live a peaceful life, marry, have kids, and wait for the chaos to be over."
Zhao Yun wanted to say how he felt, so he just went up to Jwa Jwa and said, "You might think that way, but we're ready to sacrifice ourselves for the future. Every men that fights for righteousness can make millions of people live better in the future. I know Sun Ce and I can change the future! Please, teach us!"
Zhao Yun was on his knees in front of Jwa Jwa and Sun Ce, noticing what he had to do followed Zhao Yun and did the same.
Jwa Jwa stayed quiet and just said, "Are you ready?"
Zhao Yun and Sun Ce had been here for a month now. They were to stay here for many years, learning with weapons as well as books. They were a little lonely to see their family from time to time, but they had come here to do what they had come to do. Zhao Yun got up at 5 in the morning with Sun Ce. They washed, ate and got ready until 6. Then they waited in front of the house meditating until Jwa Jwa came out at 7. Then they just trained without any weapons, just with fists and foot. They did this, because they wouldn't know when they'd have to fight without their weapons. They practiced until noon and ate lunch until 1. Then it was archery time for 2 hours. By 3, they practiced with their swords and spears until 7. After eating dinner until 8, they studied about war, strategies, and politics as well. They did it until midnight and then they went to sleep by 1. It was a tight schedule. Zhao Yun fainted on to his pillow and blanket after another hard day.
5 years had passed. It was Zhao Yun and Sun Ce's birthday. They woke up at 5'o clock sharp. It was easy to do now, since it had been their 5th year training. They could meditate without opening their eyes until 7 in the morning. They now probably had the skills to take on 20 soldiers without using a weapon. Zhao Yun could shoot arrows from a distance of 100 feet away and hit a target 90 out of 100 times. Sun Ce could only do 80, though. Zhao Yun wasn't very comfortable with a sword, so he used a long spear he was comfortable with. Sun Ce, meanwhile used a pair of sticks (what do they call this?) that could hurt. At night, they memorized thousands of books from front to back. Zhao Yun felt good and felt a lot stronger now that he was 15 years old. He had finished his studying and went to Jwa Jwa to bid him good night.
"Teacher Jwa Jwa?"
"Oh, Zhao Yun. Come in."
"Uh. . . Yes, sir."
Zhao Yun went inside Jwa Jwa's personal room, a place he had never entered for 5 years. (Sun Ce could've gone in once or twice without anyone knowing) It was a small room filled with excellent weapons and armor and there were famous books from all over China as well.
"Zhao Yun, you and Sun Ce's skills have reached its height. You can't learn much else in this mountain anymore. I think it's time you've gone back down. Do not say anything. Here are two suits of armor, one's red for Sun Ce and yours is silver. Here's a good bow and arrows for each of you and a horse for you two will be at the stable. They're not good, but they'll be fine until you get another horse."
"Thank you, teacher."
"Don't mention it. Don't be surprised if I'm not here tomorrow. Now that I've trained you and Sun Ce, I'm going to travel around Han once more. We might meet again, someday. . ."
Zhao Yun quietly took the armor and arrows and left. The next morning, Jwa Jwa wasn't there when Sun Ce and Zhao Yun went to his room. So they went to the stable, where there were two horses waiting for them. With their new armor, weapons, and helmet, they looked back at the place that had been their home for 5 years.
Sun Ce, looking at Zhao Yun stare through the little house said, "Well, I guess we got a long way to go, huh?"
"Yeah. . ."
"Alright! Let's go!"
Zhao Yun reluctantly followed Sun Ce down the mountain, but he looked back at the little house until it disappeared from view. That was just the beginning of Zhao Yun's journey.
Hey!!! Sorry about the first chapter. There just wasn't much to say from the beginning, but I promise long, full chapters next time! Please R&R!!!
