As soon as Yingtai ran out of the palace, we all immediately grew worried. What was wrong? Was she scared? Was she upset? Was she angry? I couldn't understand it. She had the coolest destiny out of the three of us. Was it maybe too much for her to handle?

"We'd better go look for her." Po said. We all nodded in agreement.

When we got outside we decided to split up. Tigress and Po went to look around the village, and Shifu and Viper went to check inside in case she decided to go change course and go back in. Monkey, Crane and Mantis went to check the Pool of Sacred Tears, and Daiyu and I went to look by the Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom. There were so many cool things on the way there, but our only concern was to find our friend. We searched in every possible place she could be on the way with no luck until we finally reached the Peach Tree. She obviously wasn't on the ground, so we tried to look up through the branches of the tree, only to find that there were too many peach blossoms in the way.

"I'll climb up. I'm faster." I said to Daiyu.

"Be careful." Daiyu said.

I walked up the tree and, gripping the trunk with my claws I clawed my way up until I reached the branches. I was small so I could easily climb on each branch. When I reached the top of the tree with no luck, I climbed back down.

"Any luck?" Daiyu asked as I carefully clawed my way back down the trunk. I shook my head when I was back on the ground.

We decided to go back down the hill and see if we could think of another place to look. We double checked every place we had already looked on our way up as we went down. We had no luck once again and finally reached the bottom of the hill.

"Ky, what are we going to do? What if we can't find her?" Daiyu asked, starting to panic. Just as she had finished her sentence, something caught my eye. I ran over to a clump of bushes near the bottom of the hill that would lead into a forest.

It was a golden thread.

Yingtai shirt must have snagged on a branch when she was going through the bushes. I faced Daiyu. "Ying's been here!" I said with a smile, while holding up the thread. Daiyu smiled with hope in her eyes.

We quickly jumped into the bushes and discovered a small path leading into the forest behind them. We quickly dashed down the path, following the footprints in the dirt, while carefully observing at the same time. Not much later, we found a small clearing. It was rather pretty. There was a small, crystal clear pond with a few fish swimming around connected to a little waterfall that wasn't very loud like other waterfalls, and willow trees covered some of the area. The sun just barely peaked through the trees and it shined on none other than Yingtai.

I felt like a giant weight had been lifted off of my shoulders when I saw her. She was just staring at the water, or maybe her reflection. I looked at Daiyu.

"Go find the others." I whispered. "I'll try and figure out what's wrong."

Daiyu nodded and dashed back the way we had come. I carefully made my way out of the last of the bushes.

-Yingtai's POV-

I couldn't believe what Grandpa Shifu had told me. Me, a legendary child? That couldn't be right… could it? I felt a lot of things, anger, excitement, shock, but mostly fear. What was going to happen? Would I still have time to have fun with my friends? What if Mom or Dad got hurt? What if Ky or Daiyu got hurt? What about Uncle Monkey, Crane or Mantis? Or Aunt Viper? Or Grandpa? Or me?

What if I failed?

That thought sent chills down my spine. What would become of the world if I did? So much was expected of me, but I was a five year old child! What could I possibly do? I could feel tears trickle down my cheeks. One of them fell into the pond. I watched the small ripples turn into big ones and eventually fade. All I could hear inside my head was Wenling's words repeating themselves; You're just an accident waiting to happen… You're just an accident waiting to happen…

"Ying?" I heard. I easily figured out who it was, since Ky was the only one who called me that.

I slowly looked up. Ky sat down next to me. "Why did you run off like that? I figured you would be excited to follow in your parents' footsteps."

I sighed. I figured I would be too. However, I had figured I would start off smaller and slowly get better. Maybe a couple robbers to start off with. I knew most kids my age wanted to start big like Lord Shen, Ke-Pa, or Tai Lung, but when you grow up with your parents, grandpa, aunt and uncles as Kung Fu masters, you discover pretty fast that the smart thing would be to start small and work your way up.

"I guess… I just… I…" I couldn't figure out what I wanted to say.

"Ying, don't be afraid to tell me." Ky said.

I looked back down. "I'm not afraid to tell you, but I am afraid of my destiny." I said, finally finding the right words and gently nudged a pebble into the pond, creating more ripples.

When Ky didn't say anything, I could sense his confusion. I went on to explain to him all the reasons why I was scared and why I wasn't excited to follow in my parents' footsteps.

To my surprise, Ky didn't laugh. "I can understand. Every day at the Bao Gu Orphanage, I always worried that no one would want to adopt me. When my parents did, I honestly didn't think I was worth enough to have parents at all. I'll tell you what my parents told me. You're scared because you don't have enough confidence in yourself right now. Confidence is something you need to help you succeed."

I did recall my mom and dad telling me something like that when I was younger in one of my bed time stories. Wasn't it the one about Uncle Crane? I continued to listen to Ky's words.

"We all believe in you, Ying. I know your family and Master Oogway would never put you through this unless they believed that you would succeed. We are all going to help you as much as we can, but I have a feeling in my gut that there will be a time where the future is up to you. You can't do it unless you believe in yourself. Besides, it's not like you'll be going into this untrained. You'll be training as well, and don't worry, during every bit of that, Daiyu and I will be right by your side."

I felt a slight bit more confident. Ky was right, my family and friends would be with me through everything and they all believed in me. I then knew Master Oogway hadn't made a mistake. As Grandpa had once said to my dad, 'Oogway was wiser than us all.' I can't say that I wasn't still scared, because I was, but now I felt more confident.

I smiled. "Thanks Ky." I said. Before I could change my mind, I hugged my friend. Ky seemed to stiffen up for a bit before he returned it.

I let go of him and he smiled back at me. "Race you back!" he said.

My smile grew. "You're on!" With that we dashed back through the bushes to find my family.

I forgot to mention something in the last chapter. I was thinking of possibly having a love triangle between Ky, Yingtai and another character that will come into the story eventually (don't worry, the kids will grow up a little more before this happens.) However, I began to wonder if I should do that, or if it would just be too random.

So I need you to tell me! Should I make a love triangle or not? The answer will be revealed in the next chapter!
