Chapter 4
The Story of Dragons
Po was still in shock of seeing the two dragons on his stomach, the red one, which was Amaranta, and the gold one, who was Amunet, both giggled when they saw his shocked face. Feng just smiled before trying to get the two dragons off of his brother before trying to snap Po out of his shock. It took a little time, but soon enough Po, Viper, and Crane were all out of their shock by seeing the last two Dragons. Both girls looked upset, but they didn't say anything, Feng took them inside the temple like house they were all in front of.
"I'm sorry about how the girls reacted; they've been really excited to see their 'Uncle Po' for quite some time." Feng explained as he sat down on the floor, since from the looks of it all the furniture was destroyed. The others soon sat as well, minus the sisters who went up to the ceiling watching everything from up there. "Sadly however, all I can do is telling you all the truth about dragons, before you leave. I can't, I have to stay and make any and all those who want the girls think that they are still here."
"Feng why would you do that, you can come back to the Valley of Peace with us and the girls." Po offered, desperate to keep possibly the only family member who he has left.
Feng simply sighed before speaking, "Po, I've lived my whole life here, and it's my duty to remain here and protect Amunet and Amaranta. I know that they will be leaving with you shortly, but I must stay, after all ever since the fates of the Dragons and our family intertwined, it's been our sacred duty to always be there for our allies and friends." Feng stopped for a moment before looking up at the girls and motioning for them to come down, they did and sat or more like curled up into small balls, so to speak.
"But why, I know that dragons are important, but still, why, I don't understand brother." Po told Feng, trying to understand what was going on.
Feng just sighed before he began to tell his brother the true story of dragons. "Po, it is a long story and if you trust all of the Furious Five, then you may tell the rest of them, along with your master." Po nodded, and Feng continued. "You see little brother, thousands of years ago when the dragons were still around, they were the greatest Kung-Fu warriors that ever lived. They knew how to defeat their enemies without trying half of the time, and the other half they nearly were killed. Yet that's what the problem is. When dragons are killed, a sole wish can be made by the creature that kills their dragon enemy. I don't know how it works, nor do I ever want to find out how, but what worries me is that Amaranta and Amunet are the last of their kind, and if anyone were to kill them. Not only would the Dragon race be extinct, but also the world may be destroyed as a result.
"Although that isn't important right now, what is important is that even when the dragons began to defeat their enemies, someone killed a dragon and made a wish that nearly spelled the end for the race of Dragon Warriors. He, the warrior who killed his dragon opponent, wished that in time the dragons would die off naturally, but only when two dragons are left, will the curse be lifted. It was hard on our family to watch as the dragons started to die and we couldn't do anything to stop it."
He paused for a moment, as if trying to collect himself for what he was about to say. "Now, I know that you're wondering about how our family came to know the dragons." Po nodded, as did Crane and Viper, but they didn't voice themselves in the conversation. It was strictly between Po and Feng. "Well this is how it happened, before the wish was made the killed off the dragons, they were hunted to begin with. But it wasn't the parents who were attacked, it was the children, because even they could grant a wish, yet what happened was, a father and daughter dragon were both trying to hide. The father was injured and weak, and his daughter didn't have any training at all, so she'd be in big trouble. Yet for them it seemed as if they were about to die, when a panda who saw them injured, offered shelter and medicine.
"The father was grateful, for he knew the panda was being sincere, both father and daughter went into the home of the Panda, this place right here, this is where those two dragons stayed. The kind panda, allowed the two dragons to rest, before giving them the proper medicine to heal their wounds, and food for both of them as well. The panda, who was a father himself, felt honored to have two dragons within his home that he vowed upon his own family name to protect both father and daughter until they were ready to go once more. Yet as the dragons healed and replenished their strength, a bandit soon came and tried to kill both the father and daughter." Feng paused to take a breath, and look at his brother to see if he was paying attention. He was, very intently at that, as were Viper and Crane, they never knew about the legend of the dragons, so this was something very new to them both.
"After three days, when the father and daughter were completely healed up, they were taken by surprise outside of the house, the panda was with them, and he worried for his friends as he saw a large Gorilla bandit try to kill them. The dragons were both caught off guard and were almost killed, hadn't the panda father intervened. He was able to defeat the bandit with his special kung-fu style. Once the bandit was defeated, the dragons were indebted to the panda. They said that they owed him a great debt for his kindness they offered him anything, riches, love, or a single wish. Yet the panda refused any kind of reward, for all he wanted was to help any and all dragons who needed it. So he asked that they tell any and all dragons that he and his family will be here if any of their species needs help." Feng paused to take a breath, before continuing.
"The father and daughter agreed, before they left, and over time, dragons when in need of help went to the panda's home, where he and his family took care of them, even during the harsh winters. Then at one point in time, the dragons gave the panda's a prophecy, they said that in time, one of the descendants of the family will be named the Dragon Warrior, because he or she would know how to fight just like the legendary dragons." Feng stopped once more, and smiled at his brother before continuing, "Soon after however, the dragons started dying off, and the Panda family had to take all of them in, they didn't care; they were all friends and would stay that way until then. It wasn't until a thousand years ago that when the last dragon died, she had two eggs; in it were the last two dragons, her children. Our family swore that we'd protect them until the hatched and would teach them how to defend themselves so that they would be able to take care of themselves. Those last two dragons are Amaranta and Amunet, your nieces' brother, and to be honest, I'm happy to know that you'll be able to take care of them."
After Feng finished, Po was silent, but as he thought about it, he knew that it was his destiny to help Amaranta and Amunet, and he thanked his long since dead ancestor that he helped those two dragons so long ago. He was grateful to know a little bit about his family, though he was sad that he didn't know how to fight like them, he at least knew how to fight like the greatest warriors of all time, well sort of anyways.
Yet after two whole minuets of silence, Po looked up at his brother and smiled warmly before speaking. "Feng I swear upon my honor as a warrior that I will teach both Amaranta and Amunet everything I know, and I will protect them. I swear it."
Feng smiled at his brother as did the sisters, "Thank you so much Po, you have no idea how great it is to know that you will be taking care of the girls." Feng and the girls almost bowed, but Po stopped them, and his look said enough.
"I don't mean to be rude brother, but we must leave soon, but once morning comes, after all I'd be honored to stay here, even if it will be for a short while." Po said, while Viper came up next to him, as did Crane who looked at Feng then at the girls before speaking.
"I'd like to look at any medical scrolls you may have, so that if the girls are sick I'll be able to help. I'm learning how to become a skilled medic." Viper asked and told the panda before her.
"I'd be honored if I could teach the girls a few things as well, so long as that is okay with you Feng." Crane asked, as Po and the girls went to set up the beds. He and Viper stood before possibly the last member of Po's blood family.
"I wouldn't have it any other way, besides; I think it'll take some time before the two of them learn how to fly either way. Also Viper, in the attic is where all the medical scrolls are, so if you want to look at them or take a few then I don't mind." Feng told the two warriors with a smile as he soon helped out his brother, ignoring the two warriors for the time. After all, he just wanted to enjoy a few minuets with his brother before it was too late. After all, no one can escape their destiny, but that didn't mean that Feng was going to leave without saying one last goodbye.
