It was a normal day. Just like everyday before. Shen was having a hard time showing his affection for Viper, as usual. Kann and Song were very happy together, and life seemed to go on peacefully. But, nothing lasted forever.
" Kann, there you are. Shifu wants to speak with you, now. He said it was important." Rushing to the giant white wolf and Song, Po quickly informed him. Kann nodded, he turned to Song and said:
" I'll be right back." Then rushed towards the Hall of Warriors.
The wolf found Shifu talking with an exhausted imperial soldier, who seemed like had run all the way from the Imperial city. Noticing Kann, the red panda stood up, facing Kann with a grim appearance.
" What do you want to speak with me about, Master?" He asked quickly.
" This is a soldier from the Imperial city, who have run here to inform us that the northern border of China was over run by an army of barbarians form the north." Shifu paused to catch his breath, " They were many tribes, banned together by a tribe of giant white bears." Hearing this, Kann was shocked. Those were the bears that wiped out his village.
" You said white bears?" He asked again to insure the fact.
" Yes, giant white bears. Their army were vast in numbers. That's why I need you." He paused, giving Kann the time to acknowledge the events which had happened.
" Why?" He asked, confused.
" Your fur is white. I presume you know who they are and how to deal with them." Shifu explained.
" Yes, I know who they are. They wiped out my village." He said grimly, shocking the red panda.
" How didn't you tell me any of this?" Shifu asked, with a questioning look.
" I told the others, you were just too busy to notice." He spoke back calmly.
" Forget it. Now, we have urgent matters to deal with. You, will scour China, selecting a group of heroes for me. And you along with your heroes will lead China's army against these marauders from the north. Me and the Five will try to buy you time, by leading some of the imperial army itself against them. You have thirty days." Shifu finally stopped, giving Kann the time to take it all in.
" Ok, I'll do what I must. Besides, I have a score to settle with them." Kann said firmly.
" Alright then, we'll start right away. I'll inform the Five and Po. Take whoever you must." The red panda informed. Then he quickly ran towards where the Five and Po were training. Immediately, they rushed down the Thousand Steps and headed north, it was incredibly too quick for someone to take in, but not for Kann. He was used to this, long before he got here. He rushed to Song and Za Shen, informing them with the news. Song gasped, knowing war was coming.
" But, but…how?" She asked, still in shock.
" They must have been gathering in numbers all this time. My village probably was another of their have to conquer list. China probably the last. If they reached this far, that can only means two things: one, they conquered the Hungs; two, they have allied themselves with the Hungs to conquer China. Either way, we have to stop them." Kann explained, receiving a nod from Shen. Song was shocked hard by the news. But she was still calm enough for a request:
" Can I come with you?" She asked Kann.
" No my love. it's too dangerous. You must stay here and take good care of this place until we return." He said calmly back. But his eyes showed her otherwise. He hated this decision of his, but he must did it, for the sake of his love, for his new home.
" Well, I'll have to leave right now, Song. Time is crucial." He paused, hoping that he wouldn't have to say good bye. He kissed him passionately, and she returned it.
" Good bye Song. I love you." He said sincerely. She was able to break a smile at this point. A sad smile. There were tears in her blue eyes.
" Good bye, my wolf. Take care." She said, barely holding back the tears. It was a sad site for Kann, but he had to leave. Turned to Za Shen, seeing the snake nodded, he rushed down the steps, with his black cloak covering his upper face, the snake on his shoulder, he ran on all four, towards the southern lands of China. And his search began.
Song stood there, watching her love ran to the south. Tears in her eyes. Wiping them away, she walked back inside for bed. An early sleep, with only sadness as company.
The two best friends took a sleep under a tree, in the edge of a forest. Both were asleep. But only Kann were seeing these sights in his dream:
He was standing at the peace tree back in the Jade Palace. There was an old turtle, standing right in front of him. The turtle broke the silence.
" Hello, young one. You are on a journey to gather heroes, for the sake of China, am I correct?" He gently asked.
" Yes. But, who are you?" Kann said, confused.
" I am Oogway, former Master of this Jade Palace. I summon you from your sleep to inform you of a way, Kann the giant white wolf." He said calmly.
" How did you know my name?" Kann asked, more confused.
" That's not important, young one. I know you are the one savior of China in these dark times. These invaders won't stop, until all of China is taken." The turtle pointed at Kann. " You, are the savior, but not until you have a weapon. Your destiny lies here, to save this great empire. Your Kung Fu is incredible, but not invincible. You need a weapon, like all legends of China needed theirs. Go to the southern mountains. There, you'll find your weapon, with the help of a master black smith, a former friend of mine." The turtle said with gentle voice, but clearly he was too wise to be fooled by his confidence. " These people need you, Kann. Go south, find the one-leg ox. There, you'll be complete."
" Why me?" Kann asked, questioning his destiny.
" In time, you'll see. Go south, young one, south." The old turtle said, then his body was covered in peach petals, and ascended to the heavens. Ending Kann's vision.
Kann opened his eyes, quickly sat up. He was shocked by his vision, but he intended to follow it otherwise.
The next morning Kann, ran on all four, with Shen on his shoulder, towards a huge mountain. The two climbed restlessly, until reaching a small workshop on the side of the mountain. The workshop had smokes coming out of its roof-holes, proving that there was people, or at lease, a person. Kann walked cautiously in the door.
" Hello? Is there anybody here?" He asked to the thick smoke in front of him. There was a voice echoed through the smoke.
" What do you want? Go bother someone else." The voice echoed again, not showing any friendliness.
" I've come to ask you to make for me a weapon." Kann shouted.
" Go away, find other blacksmiths." The voice kept on.
" Oogway told me to come here and ask for a weapon." Kann shouted again. This time, nothing echoed back. Then, an old ox emerged from the thick smoke.
" He ascended to the heavens long ago, don't you dare tell me a lie otherwise." The ox exclaimed. He was surprised at the mention of Oogway.
" He came in my dream. He told me to come here and look for you, to ask you to make me a weapon, for the saving of this empire from the invaders from the north." Kann said calmly.
" You can't ask me to make you a weapon, you must make it yourself. Only then, the weapon and you become one." The ox explained.
" Then teach me how." Kann kept on pushing.
" I…I…. alright. Come with me. I'll teach you." The ox reluctantly motioned Kann to follow him. Kann followed the old ox to his workshop. He was a master at this craft, swords and axes, all in different shapes and sizes, which seemed like they were made long ago, to unknown heroes of the past.
" when making a sword, you must transpire your emotions, your energy into the sword. With different emotions, the sword will be created to different purposes. For example, anger creates a destructive sword, created only to kill. But compassion, creates a sword meant to build. it can gather trust, love and loyalty. Combine them both, you'll have an invincible sword, which no one can break, nothing can destroy. Do you understand?" The ox stopped to check on Kann's concentration.
" Ur, ur what? Oh yes sir." He quickly said, he didn't fully paying attention. He was thinking of his village, thinking of his hatred for the white bears.
" Concentrate Kann. You might learn something." The snake on his shoulder advised.
" The snake is right. If you make it the wrong way, you'll have a weapon, a mighty weapon, but it'll be taken, to suit another person who seems to has only that emotion, the one emotion you put in." The old ox solemnly advised the wolf. Kann nod. Then he began his work, to create a weapon. But, Kann was doing it wrong. With each thrust of a hammer, he transpired his anger, his hatred, the thirst for those who wiped out his village to die. Soon, a powerful sword was made, with red silk covering its handle, its blade curled swiftly, on the front side, it curled like an S, on the back side, it was straight. It was as sharp as razor, as strong as a rock, but as light as a small wooden sword. Kann carved into it: "blood for blood". Because of his poor sight, the old ox couldn't read the small carved words. But the snake could. He looked at Kann with worried eyes, though Kann couldn't see him. The two then departed for their quest.
" Good bye old one. Thanks for the sword." Kann's voice echoed back, he began to walk down the mountain.
" May the Gods bless you, young one." The ox spoke to himself, gazing at the descending white wolf.
While the two were sleeping under a big tree, Kann was missing his beloved, Song. He missed her already. And somewhere up in the Jade Palace, she was missing him. At the same moment, yet so far away, they quietly spoke to each other, though they couldn't hear each other, only themselves:
" I miss you."
