We are at chapter 17! Can you believe it? 17 chapters and I'm still going! If only writing my novels was this fast and easy, *sigh* oh well. Anyway I know the chapter with Aurora is shorter just like Violet's and Yaro's that's because Aurora's gots some secrets that wont be revealed till later, but I can assure you. The Dragon of Light chapter is going to be so good I had to save it for that. Even Melodie's dramatic life style wont compare!
Everyone: ITS THAT GOOD?!
Me: *nods * yep I'm confident that it will be one of the best! Oh I'm getting so excited that I need to start writing right now! Enjoy Chapter 17!
Before the gang explained everything to Aurora, she ran inside and announced that the dance was over. They all whined complaining that they didn't get to do much, but their spirits were quickly lifted when she told them that Melodie Evans did in fact perform and left one autograph that would be given away as the grand prize for their next fundraiser. As soon as it was all settled and everyone left for home, Aurora lead the Xiaolin Gang to her own house. She told her Aunt she wanted to walk with friends after the dance and she counted them as friends as of that night. As they walked the gang explained everything to her, about them, sheng gong wu, the villians, and her role in all of this.
Aurora never interrupted once, she continued to listen deeply and intently taking in everything they were saying to her. After they were finished she realized they were going to have to tell the whole story to her Aunt. 'I wonder how she will take it', she thought. For awhile everyone was silent as the gang waited for some kind of response from Aurora.
"I believe you", she finally said and out of habit everyone stared at her out of shock except for Raimundo who figured she would. "I mean its kind of obvious after what just happened tonight, I mean world reknowned super villians don't crash a high school dance without any reason. To be honest we only learned about the existence of super villians recently, when all that crazy stuff was happening to the earth. So much has happened that eventually it was revealed to us by the government of the greatest villians of all time. Most live in China but they travel, but apparently normal ways of catching criminals wont work on them, but they are confident in a bunch of heroes that fight these villians on a daily basis. Your those heroes aren't you?"
The four experienced monks all whistled and looked embarssed for some reason, Aurora, Violet, Yaro, and Mel laughed at their akward expressions.
"Well were here", Aurora said coming to a sudden hault. The gang looked at ehr very simple house and gulped knowing they were in for a long night, Dojo had already left for some reason before coming to her house. They hoped greatly that he and Master Fung didn't get lost.
Aurora sighed, ready to tell her Aunt that she would have to leave in order to keep her and the world safe. Even though she didn't choose to be part of this there was nothing she could do. 'Well guess I'll just have to learn to accept it,' she thought to herself. 'It might not be so bad with friends like these to help me and keep me on the path I choose to walk on.'
"Aunt Rose I'm home!", she shouted as she opened the door and let her new friends inside. "And I brought new friends!".
"Oh good more company", her aunt said as she ran out of the living room and hugged her neice. "How are you sweety are you ok? I am so proud of you! I can't believe you defeated those super badies! I always knew you had talent, but yoru just incredible!".
"Huh?", was all Aurora could make out along with the gang. All were confused but soon they heard a noisy sound, it sounded like someone with no matters stuffing their face silly. The gang quickly ran into the direction of the noise to find Dojo and Master Fung sitting comfortably on the couch. Master Fung was sitting in perfect posture drinking tea with good grace, Dojo on the other hand was stuffing his mouth full of tiny cakes, and sandwitches like no tomorrow. He saw the gang and smiled at them mouth full of food.
"Whats up guys!", he waved and continued eating.
"Dojo!", they shouted angrily, "where are your manners?!"
Dojo sank in his couch gulped the food in his mouth, then took the sandwitch in his hand and nibbled on it quietly with his pinking extended out. The gang sighed and groined all at the same time aggravated by Dojo's usual rude behavior (not that some of them were any better when it came to manners in general only table manners).
"Wait Aunt Rose", Aurora said as she and her autn walked into the room with the gang. "You already know everything? How?".
"OH that dragon and that nice man over them told me the whole story", she said gesturing to them both. "Their proof was me seeing how those Shen Gong thingings work and the dragon transforming, I mean once you see a 4 story dragon in your backyard you pretty much can't call them a lier can ya?". She then laughed and offered Master Fung more tea, he gladly accepted and thanked her.
"So wait", Aurora continued. "Then you know that they are going to take me away, to the other side of the world? To fight evil, find Shen Gong Wu, and teach me how to use my elemental powers in order to keep the world from plunging into 10,000 years of darkness?".
Her aunt nodded and smiled brightly, "Yes that is correct I know and I approve".
"Your seriously ok with them taking me away?", Aurora said in disbelieaf and hurt. "You won't miss me? Is that it? AM I a nuisance? Just something you can't wait to get rid of? Is that what I am?" As she said this tears fought their way through but she refused to cry, she refused to succumb to sadness and dispair again.
Aunt Rose quickly embraced her neice into her arms. "Its not like that at all", she said to her cooly and reassuringly. "Of course I'll miss but what else can I do? If you don't go then you'll be in danger here, perhaps more villians like the one's you faced today will come and use me to get to you. I can't let you put yourself in danger like that because of me. Aurora trust me I will miss you, to death which is why you got to try to get stronger as fast as you can. Just don't try too hard take your time that way you become more succesful. I'll come visit you on when I can, Master Fung is thinking about having a parents day for you guys. That would be great I'd love to get to know your mentor more", she said turning her head and winked at Raimundo then whispered to Aurora, "he's quite handsome. Your so lucky maybe you should use your woman wiles on him and see if anything starts!".
"Aunt Rose!", Aurora shouted and she giggled while everyone else stared at them confused not hearing a word they just said.
"So go Aurora and I will wait for you here at home", her aunt continued and hugged her tightly then released her.
"You know this is quite ironic", Aurora said laughing a little, "our conversation is completely reversed. Shouldn't I be the one trying to convince you its ok for me to leave, instead of you saying its dangerous for me to stay here shouldn't i be saying that to you? Its all backwards."
"Well we've always been a backwards like family", her Aunt said agreeing with her, "makes it all the more fun."
Aurora quickly grabbed a handful of things to take with her, things she could never ever leave behind no matter what. The gang already to go on Dojo waited for her as she hugged her aunt and said her final good-byes. They then walked together and as Aurora akwardly and hesitantly took a seat on Dojo Rose turned to face Raimundo.
"Please protect her", she said to him grabbing his arm and pleaded with her eyes. "Please try your best to keep her safe, if anything happened to her I don't know what I'd do. So please I begging you protect her". Rose said this all low so that Aurora and the other's couldn't hear, Rai looked at her eyes and took her hand and held it firmly.
"I promise as her mentor and as her friend that I will not let anything bad happen to her, before she is ready to face true danger without my guidance", Raimundo said. "I can't guarantee that I will always be there but I will protect her as much as possible, just like I protect all those that I care for this is my solumn outh as a Shoku warrior and as a friend." Rose smiled brightly at Raimundo and mouthed the words 'Thank You', just before he gave the signal for Dojo to take off.
The Dragons new and old then all flew into the starlit night, where there would be new horizons to explore for Aurora but also new dangers. The gang didn't notice the pair of red eyes staring at them as they flew past the alps, they stared deeply at one of them specifcally and smiled.
"Almost there", they said in unison, "just one more to go. Soon a new era will rise from the ashes and into the fire of a new sun". Long and Rong then disappeared like smoke into the night, and making Aurora shiver. For she felt a disturbence a feeling you get after waking from a nightmare, she looked at the other's to see if anyone noticed. But they didn't so Aurora decided to forget about the feeling, and look forward to her new life and destiny.
