''Shen? Is that you?''
Shen turned around. He saw nothing but the color white. 'Where am I?' he thought to himself.
He looked at his surroundings, all there was, was the color white, so who could possibly see him?
''Shen?''
'There it is again.' He thought to himself.
''Em...I'm armed!'' Shen's train spread wide open and he reached for his lance...only if he had one. 'Where the heck is my lance?' he thought again.
He reached for his throwing knives, 'What!? They're gone too?' he thought again.
''Okay I'm not armed..'' Shen grunted, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Suddenly he noticed a big, blue figure walking up to him from the white mist. Shen couldn't see clearly who it was because it was too blurry to see. Then, he noticed another figure walk by the big blue figure. The other figure was a bit shorter, it's colors baby pink and baby blue.
''Shen it's me. Your father.'' the big, blue figure explained.
''Eh, and your mother.'' the other figure added.
Shen's confused look turned into a disappointed look. ''Oh...of course. My parents. So you've decided to come and ask for forgiveness, hmm? Well your not getting any.'' Shen growled.
Shen's father sighed. ''You are dead Shen, just like us. This is heaven. Well...more or less...'' Shen's father said calmly.
''Heaven? So I died after the cannon crushed me and went to heaven? I wasn't expecting that...I expected to go to hell.'' Shen muttered as he turned away from them.
''Hell? Why hell? You deserve a second chance.'' an elderly, strange voice that Shen never heard before in his life asked.
''Okay now who said that?'' Shen sighed.
From the white mist, a wise-looking tortoise appeared near Shen's parents. It was master Oogway.
''I did. Shen, do you want to be sent back?'' Oogway asked simply.
''Me? R-return? You must be joking? So I would be caught and put to prison, beaten or killed? No thanks. I mean, if you want me to change..-''
Shen asked, feeling a bit stressed, then got cut off by Oogway.
''Shen. You must believe. You can change, and you will get help. But not from me or your parents. So...do you want me to send you back?'' Oogway asked again.
Shen looked nervously left and right. ''Em...oh fine. Send me back. But..who will help me change, hmm?''
''You find out yourself.'' Oogway smiled.
''B-but-'' Shen was about to ask a question, but got hit by a blinding light.
For a moment all he could see was white, but then, all he saw was pitch black. Shen opened his eyes half-way and noticed broken pieces of wood lying everywhere around him. He then got hit by the freezing chill of the water he was in. He was holding onto a floating piece of wood. Luckily the piece of wood was big enough for Shen to climb onto and out of the freezing water. Shen used his last bits of strength to get onto the piece of wood. His robe was soaking wet and was torn on the sleeves and bottom of the robe. Suddenly Shen felt the searing pain in his right wing and his side. He put his left wing on the side of his stomach and then he had a look at the feathers of his left wing. The feathers on his left wing were red instead of white. He noticed that he had a serious wound on the side of his stomach.
