First installment of a long planned series, this one is based around an Original character named Liu Jin who resides in the Jing Province of feudal China and is about to choose his master.

Note: This is only the prolouge, stay tuned for Chapter Two:The Wrath of Sun Ce, many headsplitings included and also the character description of Liu Jin will be given in Chapter Two.

The valour of Liu Jin

Jing Province
The death of a tiger, the birth of a cub.

Sun Jian had followed Huang Zu far from the main camp and indeed far from his main force. Such cowardice would not be overlooked by The Tiger Of Jiang Dong. Even if he was far from aid, he had nothing to fear from Huang Zu. Suddenly his quarry stopped and turned to face him.
"You halfwit, you've fallen straight into our hands"
A line of archers sprang from both sides and aimed towards Sun Jian, he turned to find he had been cut off by the rest of Huang Zu's unit.
"You wish to step on the Tiger's tail? Very well." Sun Jian sighed, having gotten out of worse scrapes than this one he was fairly confident, the line of archers let loose it's arrows, forcing Sun Jian to dive from his horse and roll away to the side. He knew very well that it was foolish to just dodge arrows at length, so he decided to take the offensive and rush the line of archers protecting Huang Zu. As he dashed forward he saw one arrow coming and raised his sword in time to block it, then another and at last he felt one slip between his armour and pierce his flesh. As his vision span he saw the archers ready another wave.

Liu Jin had watched how bravely Sun Jian had resisted and had chosen his side, drawing his two swords he leaped from the roof of the small house he called his own and stood facing Huang Zu.
"What? What is the meaning of this?" Sun Jian asked weakly.
"It is tyrants such as Liu Biao who are to blame for the current chaos." Liu Jin began, "Jing is my home and I will not see it cringe beneath his boot any longer"
"Such brave words for such a lowly warrior." Huang Zu chuckled, "Kill him. Kill him now"
The archers drew back their bowstrings and let loose a second barrage, but in what appeared as one long flash of steel the arrows were struck down.
"Not arrow nor man shall pass here." Liu Jin rasped, "Nor raging dragon while I still have breath in my body and a sword in my hand"
"Well in that case. It seems fitting that the Tiger of Jiang Dong should die as lonely as his namesake suggests. You will not pass my men alive, nor will you bear Sun Jian to safety"
"You fool!" Liu Jin scoffed, "Tigers are not solitary animals as some might think, they travel in families, just wait until Lord Sun Ce arrives"
"However." Sun Jian began as he rose, "Until its family arrives the tiger puts its own fangs to good use!" In that moment a great power and nobility was shown in Sun Jian's face and it shook Huang Zu and his men.

The two men, one old, the other youthful, one experienced, the other innocent, one a king, the other a soldier, stood back to back as Huang Zu's army closed in about them. As they both knew, it requires space to swing a blade, so once the soldiers got close enough, they stepped a few paces away from one another and plunged into battle. Jin raised his left sword up and flung his arm wide, shoving aside an enemy spear and sank the other into the other man's stomach, after which he spun to the right using both swords to slice across numerous throats and then, let his opponents drop, those behind looked in awe and fear at Liu Jin and then as he approached a few fell backwards, one Jin used to propel himself over the crowd , turning himself horizontally and spinning with both blades out stretched, carving a clear path a little way into the troops, which Sun Jian exploited and ran through to join Liu Jin as he landed. Sun Jian shook a little before falling to his knees, however still confident that Liu Jin was guarding his back from his kneeling position he fought. They went on like that for around half an hour before the distant echo of horseshoes thundering towards them reached their ears.
"Ce!" Sun Jian yelled, knowing his son would soon take revenge on Liu Biao, he was in fact so happy that he let his guard down for a split second, but that was all it took for another arrow to reach him, followed closely by a third, his final battle cry echoed across the field as he flung himself at Huang Zu, but only to be kicked onto his back, too badly wounded and exhausted he lay there, arrows still protruding from between his armour, and that was the moment that the Tiger of Jiang Dong let go his sword and let his eyelids slip down for the last time.

Well just having him retreat like in the game wasn't really dramatic and I wanted togive Sun Jian a decent last battle.

Next Chapter: The Wrath of Sun Ce.
