Chapter One: The Beginning of a Legend….Sort Of
As the sun broke overhead, the Kingdom of Wei was already alive and thriving with anticipation of oncoming battles. One particular warrior, Pang De, was anxious that his relative, his younger cousin Pang Jing, was going to follow his footsteps and join the Wei army and fight alongside him. As he prepared himself, swinging his massive twin halberds, a messenger came by to deliver some news to him. "Your cousin has arrived, Lord Pang De." "Excellent", he said. "Send him to me." The messenger nodded and ran back to fetch the young warrior. When Pang De heard someone yell out "De!", he looked up and smiled, seeing his cousin.
Pang Jing was about 19 or so in that age area, with short, black hair and eyes that were a mesmerizing teal color. He embraced De, having not seen him in so long, before looking at him. "It's great that you're still alive, De. But then, I'm not surprised you are, since you're so strong. You've always been a strong man." De simply chuckled. "You've grown since last I saw you, Jing. I would not be surprised if you become stronger than even I." Jing smiled a bit bashfully. "No way. I could never be as strong as you, cousin. You wield two halberds. Two halberds! I can't see anyone else using those." De laughed. "True, I am strong enough to use them, but I believe you could if you tried. But since you have a ways to go, Jing, I have this for you." And De handed him what looked like a pike, the blade of which shaped in a massive "U", with sharp, pointed ends.
Jing could only stare at the weapon, having never seen anything like it. "Wha…De…that's for me?" "Yes. I've seen how good you are with pole-arms, so I figured this would be a nice weapon for you to use." He handed the weapon to a very flattered and veryshocked Jing, who held the weapon without any trouble. "De…I don't know what to say…thanks." "It's my pleasure, Jing. After all, not only are you family, but also you fight for the Wei Empire. You deserve nothing less." Jing smiled as he looked at his weapon. "This is amazing…" "What's more amazing is that we now have another warrior to fight with us!" A voice called to them. Both De and Jing looked up to see a general walking to them, one eye covered in a patch, and in his hands, a giant scimitar. De chuckled. "Of course, Dun. He is of Pang blood. He will do fine." He turned to Jing. "This is Xiahou Dun, one of Lord Cao Cao's top generals. Dun, this is Pang Jing, my cousin." The two shook hands. "It's nice to see that our army is growing with fresh, new warriors. I hope you'll do well." Dun said to Jing before he left to complete his rounds. Jing looked to De again. "De…. thanks. For everything." De patted Jing's shoulder. "Like I said, Jing. You're family. I would do anything for my family." Jing looked down to the weapon in his hands and gripped it tightly. "I promise you, cousin. I will live up to your expectations, and I will not let this kingdom down!" He twirled the two-pronged pike in both hands, ending it in a dynamic pose. "I, Pang Jing, will serve Wei with all of my might!" "That's the spirit, Jing! I knew bringing you aboard would be good for you. I can safely say that you will be the future of Wei." De smiled as he spoke, proud to have had his young and eager cousin fight alongside him. "Now, come with me, Jing. Let me show you the encampment," he said, walking with Jing to introduce him to the generals and to show him everything he needed to know.
Later that day, Jing was now getting ready for some sleep, since he would have his first real duty to perform tomorrow. As he layed down and looked up at his tent cover, he felt like he was the luckiest guy in the world. Having met such great friends already, and fighting alongside his cousin, he knew that he had a lot to do, but he was sure that he would do all he could. Sleep finally beat excitement in the end, and he drifted to sleep.

Hiyo, everyone! Kong Ming here. This is my first fic, so please be gentle. I know this first chapter is a bit short, but only because I couldn't think of anything else to add for now. Don't worry, I promise the coming chapters will be longer. But there will be some delay, as I only have current access to the computer at school (I'm in college), and since I yet have Internet at home, it will be a while before I get everything together here. But please take a moment to look at my fic. I wish to prove myself here in this awesome community. Oh, and this fic is and was inspired by Clarinet's "Zhuge Ling: The Immortal" fic. I strongly suggest reading her work. Funny stuff.
