Story of the white wolf

Chapter 14

Disclaimer: I don't own nothing!

" Well this is certainly boring." Song said to herself. She had been locked in her cell for a month now, her only pass time was drawing random things on the wall, with some rocks from the ceiling. The mysterious panther gave her regular meals though. He still spooked her regularly with his unsuspected appearance.

" Yes it is." His voice suddenly broke the silence again. Song jumped at the sudden appearance.

" Could you just start a conversation normally for once?" Spat Song, annoyed at the panther's strange habit. He just laughed at the reaction.

" Sorry Song. My job is in the dark. This is where I feel most comfortable." He exclaimed, " And here's your lunch." The panther said, pushing a tray through the bottom of the cell.

" Thanks." Song said sarcastically, though the panther ignored it.

" You wouldn't be thanking me anytime soon Song." The panther said.

" What do you mean?" Song asked questionably.

" This." He said. Then, Song sensed a hand hitting her neck at the back. Then darkness covered the clouded leopard.

" We must move quickly. Tarvon lost his battle with the white wolf. Move, now!" Ordered the panther to the eagles. They replied obediently. One took Song in his talons, one took the panther, then all of them took flight to an unknown land, in the far Northern side of the world.

After half a day of flying, the eagles arrived. One carried Song, on the panther's order. They walked seemingly aimless in the thick snowy weather. After a few more hours of walking, they reached the cold black steel door. It opened slowly, revealing a cloaked and hooded figure standing in front of them. His face was hidden completely under the hood. Suddenly, his voice broke the silence, a cold, synister voice.

" You've managed to come back in time this time, Balro."

" Mind you own business, Kaster. We have important matters to present him." The panther said, irritated at the figure's remark.

" Sure you do. But be careful, little panther. You have many *enemies* that will be very satisfied if you end up dead." Finished, the figure disappeared in the thickness of snow.

" Come on. Back to walking boys." The panther ordered, and the group continued to head to castle.

" My lord, i've return with great news." The panther respectively dropped to his knees after slowly entering through the main gate. The wolf sitting in the throne didn't even look at the panther. But his voice rumbled loudly through the black corridors.

" Yes that I can see, Balro. And did you brought me what I want?"

" Yes, my lord. Song, Kann's girl. Your plan is perfectly in place." Obidiently answered the panther. The wolf smiled, not raising his head:

" The fool, Tarvon died so quickly. I think I might have underestimated the young boy." He said calmly, his voice echoing through the castle. " No matter. Now, find our *guess* a place to *rest*. And I believe we have something to talk about Balro."

" Yes, my lord." The panther bowed, then quickly exited the castle with his band of eagles carrying Song, heading to the West side of the citadel.

All of our heroes had reached the Jade Palace. But before departing, Kann said goodbye to his friends, his comrades in the war. All of them returned to their homes, to start a new beginning. Sun Mei was summoned by the emperor to train his spies and assassins. She took it gladly. Old Ming returned with good news to his people: the emperor had given their lands and belongings back, and he had also executed some Ministers for their crimes against the peasants. Kin and his eagles, as well as Yao Sheng, received a huge amount of gold from the emperor. To repay Kann's leadership and guidance, Kin and Sheng spared half of their gold to him. Kann accepted, but as soon as the eagles and the ox were gone, he gave the gold to a nearby village.

Night came, just after the group had settled back in their homes. Mitch joined them too though. He had decided that he would stay for a while, before leaving to Japan. All was going in their rooms for the night, except two snakes, who was currently laying by each other under the Sacred Peach tree. Za Shen had finally asked Viper out, took him quite some time.

" So, Shen, what's about me that got your eyes?" Viper asked, looking up to see the black snake's face, which made him blush a little under his scales.

" Um, i don't know...you're kind, warm-hearted, and you're the most beautiful snake I've ever seen." Shen managed after a minute frozen. Viper just smile kindly at him.

" Thanks Shen." She said, her head laying down at Shen's body (the part where it's suppose to be a shoulder). Shen smiled, then switched his gaze to the moon above.

" You've finally did it, old friend." Kann chuckled, standing at the Hall of Warriors, looking down at the two.

" Kann!" Shouted a goose, suddenly crashing down right behind the white wolf, " Oh Kann, I have terrible news."

" Yes I know Zeng, Song is captured." Kann said, then sighed, " You don't need to remind me of it."

" No, I have different news." Zeng hastily said, " The imperial scouts found the place which had held Song!" Zeng informed the wolf, Kann's eyes widen, he grabbed the goose by the collar:

" Where Zeng? Where? And what do you mean had held?" Kann asked with anticipation.

" She was moved a day ago, towards the Northern lands." Zeng scaredly said.

" No, not there! Tell me it's not the truth!" Shouted Kann at the messenger goose.

" I-I'm sorry Kann, but they took her with them." Said the goose.

" What happened?" Asked Mitch, joined by Shifu, Po and the Five. " We heard the shouting. What's wrong Kann?" Asked Shifu.

" Song is taken, again. This time, they took her to the far North, Master Shifu." Said Zeng. Kann was dead silent. After a minute of recovery, finally Kann spoke:

" I'll leave in the morning, towards the Frozen Wastes."
