I decided to continue on with this story and for those who does not know, sun Shang Xiang is only 16 at the moment, as the story progresses she will get older. this story has some historic references but most of it is non-fiction. enjoy.


My eyes fluttered open when I could hear mutliple footsteps comming from outside my door. It sounded like little mice scattereing around the hallway. As I lay down for few second son my bed, I noticed something was up. Suddenly, my bodyguard opened the door to my room.

"Whats going on?" I asked.

"Lord Yuan Shu has called upon your father and Huang Gai to assist in a battle against Liu Biao" as she continued to talk and get me out of bed, i was confused to why would Yuan Shu send father against Liu Biao. "Why whats the matter? I thought papa and Liu Biao were allies."

"They were, but something went wrong, Liu Biao probably went against the emperors orders and needs to be taken care of." as i stared at my bodyguard who is now fixing my bed, I decided to get dressed, putting on some pants and a blood red shirt.(her outfit from DW2). I was excited to help my father hoping this would be my first battle. I grabbed my chakrams and almost headed for the door, but then i felt my arm being grabbed. It was my bodyguard, her face was different as if she hiding something. "No my lady you mustn't leave your room, there are many soldiers out there scattering around getting ready to deploy. Your father, Huang Gai, and Zhou Yu has left earlier this morning."

"THIS MORNING! with not telling me!"

"Shh calm down my lady, he did not want to wake you. Right now your Brother Lord Sun Ce is rallying up more soldiers and he mustn't be disturbed, sooner or later he will be there to help your father."

Upon hearing this I was already getting angry, how could they do this to me, papa, brother....why am i not in this battle. I deserve to be protecting my people of Wu also. Suddenly a soldier peeked into my room. My door slowly opened as i could see the fully dressed man addressed me by my full name and after a bow and then looked at my bodyguard.

"um excuse me my lady..." Chen Hsin Hsu then went outside the door witht he soldier. as the door shut close i ran over it and and put my ear against it, hoping i could catch something from them. damn door for being so thick all i could hear was whispers. The door then started to open, startled, I ran to my bed and waited for my bodyguard to come back inside.

I sat down anxiously waiting for her to speak to , her face remain the same, she was hiding something.

"Princess..." she said softly. she was talking so slowly it made me so anxious just to listen to what she has to say.

"There has been an ambush on the soldiers of Wu, and your father was caught in the middle of it."

My eyes widen as this information was regarding my father. "IS HE OK,IS HE ALRIGHT!" I blurted out, so many things were running through my mind and most of it was about papa.

"He was ambushed by a group of archers, he barely escaped, He is now retreating back to the palace, Huang Gai is with him." She said it so slowly and softly, hoping that this news would now offend or hurt me. I didn't know how to feel and what to say, all i know that i wanted to know if papa was going to make it and if he is alive.


Many hours has passed and already the sky is now dark. The palace was filled torches lighting up the hallways and rooms. I was outside waiting in the garden hoping the arrival of my father was comming closer. I was pacing back and forth until I saw a sillouette in the distance. It turns out it was my brother, Sun Quan. He came to me slowly and i could tell that he was worried also.

"This night must be a dreadful one....." without even looking at me he stared into the night sky. I looked up also, but i was confused. Finally he looked down at me and gave out a chuckle. "Sorry Shang Xiang, its just that father and brother is out there fighting against someone this land once trusted, and i feel that my time is finally comming also." I was trying hard to figure out what my brother was trying to imply until we were both distracted by the sound of distant voices and galloping comming outside the palace.

Sun Quan ran towards the sound and so did I. From afar i could see a line of torches heading towards the gate. Going towards the light, i ran into Qiao sisters, both were as curious as i was.

"Do you know what's going on?" I asked them.

"I'm not sure i heard voices comming outside."

"Its them, they're comming back." Sun Quan answered our question. the figures from afar become more visible to the our eye, they all looked exhausted. Many of them came back by foot, and there were so little of them. Then the feeling of worry overwhelmed me again. "Where is papa?!" I yelled. I ran towards the soldiers as Sun Quan and my body guard who was also there tried to stop me. I could feel my heart beat faster as i struggled through the soldiers exhausted bodies until Huang Gai and Sun Ce came into my sight on top of thier horses.

"Princess...?! What are you doing?"

"Where is pa--" I was then cut off by Sun Ce as he jumped down from his horse.

"He's gone....He's gone Shang Xiang....." I stood still when the message he gave me was registering in my head.

"What do you mean he's gone brother?" Not noticing that Sun quan was beside me i could feel water filling up in my eyes. I was holding back my tears but i couldn't. I remember i was yelling and screaming when everyone around me started to tear up too. I ran to my brother and punched him several times in the abdoman. "WHY WHY WHY CE!...WHY DID HE HAVE TO GO!" Sun Quan and my Bodyguard tried to calm me down along with Huang Gai. It must of hurt for him also because he was the one who protected my father.

"Shang Xiang, there was nothing we could do, when I was about to aid father he was ambushed by a group men atop the mountains.....they crushed him with these boulders...and he was trapped inside." I could feel that my brother was breaking up as well along with Zhou Yu by his side. His hand on his shoulder.

"I knew this day was a day where Wu failed...and I losing a father..."
