After a strenuous day of training, the three dragons came into the temple for some rest. They found Master Fung and Dojo enjoying his afternoon tea (weird time to have tea). "Master Fung, what were you discussing with the other monks?" asked Kimiko. Master Fung hesitated for a moment, thought it over then said, "Well… you do have the right to know what you are fighting against. It all started 1500 years ago…"

From now on Master Fung is speaking

The war between xiaolin and heylin has already started 1500 years ago. Both side were using many different tactics, but with no success. Each side was sending reinforcements into the battle. As we all know, Grandmaster Dashi recruited the four chosen dragons of water, fire, wind and earth. When all seemed lost for the heylin side, they recruited a spell caster. His name was Firedrake.

He was a master in every style of magic and witchcraft. His magic severely damaged our troops (I'm making this sound like World War –V, because this is way before World War I). None of our troops could get close enough to do any damage to him, with the exception of the four dragons Grandmaster Dashi.

But what worried us most is the staff he was carrying around with him. Dashi and the other monks have never seen anything like it. Especially the power the staff produced. As we all know it now, this staff eventually was named the Ogre's Staff. But something else was wrong with this battle, something that must not happen again in this battle.

Firedrake seemed to have received many strange powers that only shen-gong-wu's possesses. We were able to send many spies inside the heylin forces, but none came back with a report to what we were so confused about. Finally, about a month past after we started sending in spies, that we got an answer.

Firedrake was being mysteriously being sent shen-gong-wus. No one knows who it was, because one day, one of the heylin leaders caught a spy sending messages to our side, and was then and there executed. They soon found the other spies and executed them also. No more spies were being sent in, for fear of losing more people.

But inside our camp, we did a little spy work ourselves. Grandmaster Dashi sent the four dragons to spy on any suspicious characters inside our camp. No reports came from the dragons. They soon gave up on the search, because another wave of heylin troops was approaching fast.

This wave lasted for weeks, but finally we have been outnumbered and were forced to retreat. Our forces have been decreasing dramatically, so Grandmaster Dashi decided once and for all that he himself shall find the person who is responsible for helping the enemy.

The investigation took long, but still no results. But one day as he was resting in the temple, he overheard someone talking. He outside and saw the dragon of water standing talking to someone in the courtyard. Dashi had a sense he knew who he was talking to. He ran back inside and took the reversing mirror out and used it on the spot right in front of the dragon. And just as he suspected, Firedrake stood there holding the shroud of shadows.

Omi flinched at the sound of his element.

back to the past

Guards surrounded him on both sides blocking all the exits. Firedrake muttered something and smoke rose up from underneath him. When the smoke died away, nothing was there besides the dragon of water. He was then brought inside for questioning.

He refused to talk in anyway, by force or by ? (Probably everything else they thought would work).He was kept under captive until after the last wave of attack.

The battle was over quickly, for Firedrake suddenly lost most of his powers. Firedrake was defenseless against our attacks. Without him, the heylin side lost courage and retreated. But as we all know it, the peace didn't last long.

When our troops searched through the piles of devastation, they found the remains of Firedrake. They noticed that his staff wasn't with him anymore. They thought that during the retreat, someone might have taken it with them.

As for the dragon of water, he soon escaped after the battle. Nobody ever heard of him since.

Omi's eyes stared blankly at Master Fung. "That is all you need to know for now, young dragons. Now it is time for us all to rest, for tomorrow you will need to find Raimundo and bring him back," said Master Fung as he pointed towards the sleeping quarters.

"But… but… but…," Omi said as Clay pulled him along and through the door.

"But I think you missed on one important thing…" Dojo said, but Master interrupted him. "Dojo, you must not say a word of this to any one of them, understand?" Master Fung said sternly.

"But why, you said they have the right to know,"

"But this is not the right time to tell them, at least not just yet," Master Fung said in a quiet voice. "Now I too need some rest, as for you, Dojo, you need some rest too,"

Dojo nodded and started to go towards his room. Well… it is not really a room; it is the shen-gong-wu vault.

Master Fung sat at his table wondering about the thing he refused to tell the three dragons. But he thought that this was the best; the dragons knowing nothing about it. Tomorrow will be the day they would need to battle Raimundo if they find him.

Master Fung kept thinking until he got himself tired, and he started to sleep.

sorry, i know this chap sux but can't think of anything else to write.
