Chapter2: A Story Back into the Past

"I see, very well," the lord said, "release them," getting up from his seat about to go somewhere. "Wait!" Lin shouted which caught the four attentions. "Yes?" wondered Sun Jian. "C-can we work here?" Lin asked. "Of course, well be delighted to have more maids…." "No!" Lin interrupted the lord, "Not as maids! I mean, as generals." "You kidding me! A general already? No way, if we take you two in battles as generals doing a strategy, we're sure to lose the war not knowing how strong you two are?" Ce said. "True," admitted Niang, the younger one, "but can we not duel a general of this kingdom and you, Sun Jian, can judge which class we'll be in?" Jian thought……. "Sure sounds interesting. Mind as well." "Great, Lord Sun Jian, but who would they duel?" asked Zhou Yu. "Hmmmmmm………the Qiaos!" said the lord.

They headed out to the courtyard of the kingdom for the duel. For a one on one match, Niang fought against Xiao first while everyone else judged.

(After the Battle…..)

"Well?..." asked Niang panting with cuts on her left arm. "Superb! It was fantastic! You're in as a Wu Officer!" graduated Jian. "Huh! Really! YAAAAAY!" cheered Niang. "Great job! It'll be fun to have you here, Niang," commented Xiao. "Thank you, Xiao. I am most honored, indeed I am."

Next round, Da Qiao VS Lin Yi. They fought violently and harshly, but turned out that Lin was also an Officer of Wu.

(That Night…..)

That night everyone graduated the Yi sisters by having a party. There was musuo wine, rice balls, onion balls (meat buns actually), and other yummy goodies! The Yi sisters hung out for a while until soon Lin went outside alone.

Lin went out and sat on a tree and watched everybody through the window, they were happy….very, they were cheering, laughing, and happily eating. As Lin saw the happiness of her younger sister, around the warriors having fun, she began to smile. "Hey, whaddya' smiling at?" asked a familiar voice. Lin looked down and saw Lu Xun smiling at her. "Nothing," responded Lin.

Lu Xun climbed up the tree and sat next to her on the big branch, "So why are you not down and inside with the others?" asked Xun. "Ummm…. Well it's too noisy down there, uhh…." "Lu Xun. My apologies that I have yet not introduce myself, Lady Qao." "No please, don't call me 'Lady', Lord Lu…" "Nor than you shall not address me by 'Lord'," interrupted Xun. "Sorry, it's just that I dislike being called 'Lady'," apologized Lin. "Same here but I'm not called by 'Lady'," commented Xun. Lin chuckled.

'Well that's not funny,' Xun thought. "So how old are you?" asked Xun. "Seventeen, Mei Mei issixteen (Mei Mei equals little girl who is Niang)" "Do you have a family, Lin?" "No, they died from an ambush from the Yellow Turban lead by Zhang Jiao… actually the whole town died. Some women were saved for being seduced and being a slave. Luckily Mei Mei and I were out in the fields picking up vegetables. We saw our town massacred and everyone dead, including Mother and Father. But before that our parents told us to go an hour before the enemy ambush, which was enough time for the turbans not to see us….." Lin paused and her eyes got full of tears, "I-it was though as if Mother and Father have predicted this!" she told as tears rolled down from her eyes to her cheeks. Xun silently gazed up to look at her. "Though it has been eleven years, I can and always will remember this like as if it were yesterday."

"Mei Mei and I then had to leave and then that's when we became travelers. We stopped to cities we ran into and stayed for a while, we also earned enough money by trading," finished Lin as she wiped her tears away with her sleeves. Lu Xun quickly grabbed her and pulled her into his warm arms. "I know how you feel. I too had a family which died. But they died an honorable death," said Lu Xun.

Lin pulled him closer to her and before they knew it, they were hugging each other. A few minutes later Xun said, "Lin, lets go down to the celebration, since it is for you and your younger sister. And I think Niang is probably searching for you." Lin nodded and they both jumped down the tree branch and walked inside together.
