The Making of a Legend

I don't own DW/ROTK

Feng, Ping and the rest had gotten back to Cheng Du two days before, and the preparations for the burial of Liu Bei, Huang Zhong, the rest of the heroes who gave their lives, in what sadly was a totally useless battle, and pointless battle, which it was going to take a while before the army would be able to rebuild from totally. When they arrived in town, the grieving of the mother's who had lost sons filled the town, as it did the other towns when they found out. Liang, and Jia had prepared a defense incase the Wu army decided for a quick follow or a attempted invasion. It didn't come, it was more then likely Wu had taken a decent hit from the battle as well. It would seem that all this little war did was to put Wei even more in a place of power. That was what was so sad about the fight, it did nothing, but make the real enemies stronger, and everyone knew this quiet well, even the ones who were most for the battle.

Feng set quickly in on a chair in his room. Everything was dark, he had closed the window shades, closed all of the door, and of course no candles were lit. He just sat there in complete darkness, letting his mind wonder of the past, letting it go from one thing to another aimlessly as if nothing really matter. His mind went over the point when he had been adopted by Liu Bei. They also went over the adventures, and battles that he had with his father, and Peng, and the others. They went over the interactions with his friends and family, his step-mothers who were now all dead, just like his father, and his brother Chan, who gone all wrong at some point along the line, though Feng was unsure of just were it happened. He had been loved deeply by Liu Bei, and Lady Sun, who was like mother to him. He mind went over what was going to take place in not long time. He as going to be officially crowned Emperor of Shu-Han, and the continuation of the Han line that went back many generations. He could not help but wonder if he was up to the task, if he could follow in the footsteps of his father, the man who he had idolized since youth.

Across the rest of the palace, things were going on at a insane pace for the actives that were going to soon take place. Cooks moving in and out of the kitchens preparing a peerless meal, servants moving up and down the halls making sure every decoration was in place, and everything was just generally perfect. Indeed there were going just great, and it was good thing too, because the preparation and the anticipation for the event had gotten everyone out of the depressed mood, and into a more up beat and happy one.

Across town, Guan Ping was getting out his formal armor, and sash, and began to get ready for the event. He had a huge grin on his face, thinking about how his friends was going to be the next emperor. True they had talked about it a lot growing up, but that had always been either as a joke, or as those things that would never actually take place. It was great to think though that his oldest best friend, was going to be the emperor. Guan Ping was knocked suddenly out of his thoughts by a loud knock at his door. His brother more then likely coming to bug him, as they had done 3 times before. It was one of the main reasons he was not ready yet.

Guan Ping walked right up to the door shaking his head, and gave a deeps sigh looking up as he opened the door. "Xing, I told you to leave me…"

Ping suddenly noticed that it was not his brother in front of him, rather it was Cai, standing there in a formal dress. Ping was knocked back at the sight, he could not remember the last time he saw Cai in a dress, in fact he could not remember the last time he saw her in something other then her armor, but then they were just getting back from a long campaign. "Oh um sorry, Cai, I thought you were Xing, he has been bugging me a lot."

"Oh ok, I was um…just…checking if you were ready…"Cai said before moving off quickly.

Ping scratched his head thinking about why Cai looked so shy all of a sudden, and left so quickly. Then he remember that he was still only half dress, and felt a bit embarrassed himself. He then quickly finished getting ready and headed right over to the palace.

The door to Liu Feng's room opened, bring light to the room. Feng was already prepared, but still sitting by himself in the darkness.

"Let me guess, your just thinking things over right, unsure if you are ready for this tasks, that the heavens have given you. I am right, my student, aren't I?"

Feng just looked up at Guo Jia, and gave him a half smile, "Well seems that you know me quiet well, and I thought you sleeping the whole time you trained Ping, and I. Still do you think I am ready?"

"Well if I did think you had it in you, kid, do you think I took you in as my student. Kid, you got talent, and from one I see, enough to lead this kingdom to great things, if you keep growing. So yeah your ready, and I am sure you father would agree with me."

"Jia, Feng, we need to get moving," Guan Ping said walking into the room.

"Yeah, your right, well lets get going," Feng said standing up.

Jia smiled at his two pupils, thinking how he knew this would be the start of a new era for Shu, one that could be greater then the one lead by Liu Bei himself.

Soon Feng was at the entrance to the thrown room, he advanced down a perfectly red rug that led to a gold chair. He smiled as he noticed his friends, Ping, his brothers, Cai, her brother, Jia, and many others. He stood in front of the chair, and smiled at Zhuge as he walked up.

"I now hand to Liu Feng, the crown of the Shu-Han, you are worthy in every means to fall your father in this task, and lead our land to its unification as the heavens wish," Zhuge said handing the crown over to Feng.

"I Liu Feng, take on this responsibility to the Han, and I will work to improve the lives of those who serve under me, and work to seek a time when the land will be reunited, and peace will rain across the land," Said Feng putting on his crown.

"Now, every we have a new emperor, all hail, Lord Liu Feng, Emperor of Shu-Han," Zhuge said followed by loud cheers of "Hail, Liu Feng, Hail, the new emperor."
