Chapter 5: The Four Skillful Brothers:
Lü Dongbin's POV:
I have met four interesting people and they're all brothers. A thief, an astronomer, a huntsman, and a tailor. They all offered to help me get into Shen Du's palace. Now we just need to find a way in.
Yuandu's POV:
Maybe what Nichang said was right. But the Princess has always been so kind to me.
"Are you alright," asks the Princess.
"I... uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh... yes."
"I just want to say thank you for being so kind to me since I got here." And to my surprise, she kissed me on the cheek. She then returned to her cell.
Yuandu: So many times, out there
I've watched a happy pair
Of lovers walking in the night
They had a kind of glow around them
It almost looked like Heaven's light
I knew I'd never know
That warm and loving glow
Though I might wish with all my might
No face as hideous as my face
Was ever meant for Heaven's light
But suddenly an angel has smiled at me
And kissed my cheek without a trace of fright
I dare to dream that she
Might even care for me
And as I ring these bells tonight
My cold, dark tower seems so bright
I swear it must be Heaven's light!
Lü Dongbin's POV:
The Four Brothers and I managed to sneak into the palace.
"We just have to get past the security," says Franz.
Then these strange warriors in black suits come out of the ground.
"Is that it," asks Wilhelm.
"They're new," says Franz.
"I have seen warriors like these in Japan," I said, "what would they be doing here?"
They then attacked us. We fought back. They were like nothing we've ever seen before. They could move in the shadows and they had these red eyes. I removed a mask and saw its hideous blue face.
"They're tougher then they appear," says George.
"But what are they," asks Peter.
"Definitely not human," says Franz.
We then got away from them.
. . .
"Those things came out of the floor," says Wilhelm, "so they might come through the walls."
"Then we must hurry," I said.
. . .
We then continued on our way. We were walking down a hall. We then saw a hideous creature. The four brothers then attacked it, but then I took another look. "Wait, I think it's human," I said.
"Can you four please get off of me," he asks.
. . .
Yuandu then told us his story of how he has been Shen Du's slave and there is a princess that is being held prisoner.
"We should save this girl," says Franz.
"I would do anything to save her," says Yuandu, "but the wrath of Shen Du..."
"We came here to defeat him," I said, "now, take us to this princess."
. . .
Yuandu took us to the Princess.
"Why are you risking your life," asks Franz.
"I just want the Princess to be free," says Yuandu.
I think he might be in love with her. I just hope she is one to look inside.
. . .
We then found the Princess.
"Yuandu, who are these people," she asks.
"Single," says Franz. Wilhelm then hits him on the head.
Shen Du's POV:
"Are you sure the Princcccessssss issss sssstill in her ccccell," I asked.
"Yep, that is what I told you," ssssayssss Nichang, "you can clearly see her right there."
Obvioussssly, ssssomeone ssssaved the Princcccessssss and Nichang replacccced her with a badly dissssguissssed broom. "You know I don't believe you, right?"
"I'm just going to find her," ssssayssss Nichang.
"And Nichang, next time, try a little better with your decoyssss," I ssssaid.
