To Grey Coincidence: True, Toka will be happy to learn that. Though the Hypnotizing Dance doesn't work on everyone, it's still a useful technique. Also, for the team battles PST idea, I'll think about it.
Suya's training hasn't been very successful so far. No matter how many times she tried to meditate on the pearl, she couldn't stay focused for more than 20 minutes. The queen remarked that it was late and would be better to continue tomorrow.
Actually, Suya was laying all naked on her stomach over some pillows. The queen arrived with a vase of warm liquid which she dropped over the snowy owl's back to massage her. She purred cutely and relaxed.
"Feels good, right?" The queen Maghr said with a smile.
"Yeah..." Suya said with her eyes closed in relaxation.
"Now, how about you tell me what went wrong with the training I gave you? You didn't seemed capable of focusing correctly."
Suya looked down sadly. "I'm sorry. I don't know what's wrong, but every time I try to focus, I can't stop thinking about my friends and the upcoming battle against the Pharaon. It makes me nervous and loose my balance." She explained.
The queen started massaging her shoulders. "Do not worry about the future." She whispered in her ear. "The future is always full of surprises and incertain. Care only about the present. It's the most important part of time."
Suya remembered Po telling her that Master Oogway told him something similar about the yesterday being history, tomorrow being a mystery, but today being a gift which is why it's called the present. The more she though about it, the more it made sense to her. She started thinking that she could be able to accomplish her training, but only after a good night of sleep.
For now, she was going to enjoy the massage given to her by the queen...
By the time it was tomorrow afternoon, when the sun started going down, Aicha ultimately finished teaching the Hypnotizing Dance to Viper who was also very tired.
"Congratulations, Viper. You've mastered my technique." The lady cheetah happily said. "I sure hope you're gonna use it correctly, right?"
"Maaaybe..." The snake girl said with rolling her eyes, having already one or two ideas of what she could do with this new technique.
Tanchi suddenly arrived alongside Kitsu. "Hey, girls! You won't believe all the cooking things I've learned today!" She said in excitation. "Did you know that we could make a machine to mix many fruits into one juice? And also that putting ice cubes into a drawer could easily keep all the food inside fresh for months-"
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" Aicha interrupted her with a paw. "Calm down, Tanchi, one thing at time!"
"Sorry, I tend to get excited easily." The penguin apologized with rubbing the back of her head with her bandaged flipper. Before she could keep sharing all that she learned, they spotted Suya returning with a smile on her face.
"Suya! You're back!" Viper happily said and went to hug her owl friend.
"Glad to see you too, Viper. Did you learned the Hypnotizing Dance?"
"Yes and she's already planning on what to do with it." Aicha said with her arms crossed as she gave a pointed look to the snake.
"What about you? Did you learned anything new? You've spent a lot of time at the palace." Kitsu asked her.
The snowy owl giggled to herself. "Well, I learned the Hypnotizing Dance too and that was yesterday."
"You learned it yesterday?" Aicha was surprised at how fast her owl friend learned her technique. "Then what did you do at the palace for the whole day?"
Suya giggled again. "Well, I did learned something else, but I prefer keeping this as a surprise for tomorrow."
"Great, 'cause we're gonna need good tricks to win tomorrow." Said Aton as he arrived alongside Sewu, Ghyr and Adhan.
Suya was about to ask them if they recruited the warriors to help them, but she already got her answer as she saw tens - maybe even more - of armed animals behind them. They all looked like they were ready for battle.
"Whoa! Those are our warriors?" Aicha asked in surprise. "Where did you found them all."
"I simply asked Ghyr and Adhan." Aton replied with pointing at them.
"The Pharaon can come with his little dumb army: we'll be ready to receive them!" Sewu said with enthusiasm.
"We should go back to the Siwa Oasis before they arrive. That way, we can prepare for the battle in advance." Kitsu remarked.
Everybody nodded in agreement and started packing up everything they needed before leaving for the Siwa Oasis. The battle was about to start...
