The legend of the ten rings has been told for thousands of years. Every generation, the story grows. But at its center, there is always one man 

A Chinese warrior man is on his horse telling his men to wait as he goes ahead to the army in front of him. he has ten rings in his arms five on each side.

Some say he found the rings in a crater or stole them from a tomb. They gave him the strength of a god and the gift of eternal life

the other army looks nervous as they see him getting closer

He could have used them for good. 

suddenly arrows launched at him and he just smirked at the sky and activated the rings 

But all he wanted...was power.

He fights the army and attacks the kingdom. His army follows. he sits on a seat as he watches his men train and plan

He called his army the Ten rings. Over the centuries, they spread into every corner of the world

He and his men fight tons of armies, destroy buildings, killed generals, shot men, and take all the wealth

they moved into the shadows....toppled governments...and changed the course of history.

Now in 1996, he is a helicopter to his home looking at a special book

He chased money and power for a thousand years. But he still wanted more.

" have you heard the legend of ta lo?" Wenwu said to his men in Chinese " a hidden village with mythical creatures and ancient magic. Where people practice a martial arts style from the gods. I want to find it."

" of course. I'll send a scout to explore the area, and come back with more information." his men replied 

" I want to go now

soon they are driving through the bamboo forest but then his men see the forest moving.

" the forest....is moving," he said and they both looked back to see the forest closing behind them fast. and then the car jerks away to not get crushed and flew off the cliff only wenwu escaped and survived. he looks back at the forest and entered it again.

He had nothing left on earth to conquer. That's when he came to my home.

" Where's the entrance to ta lo?" he asked her

" You're not welcome in our village," she replied

" You don't know who you're talking to," he said 

" I don't care who you are. Turn around now, and I won't have to hurt you."

he activates his rings and stands in a fighting position. she smirked and said, " Is that all?"

He attacked and they started to fight. h goes aggressive and she moves smoothly and gracefully when fighting. He toss her hat at him and he does it but stops seeing her face.

"Shang chi," Ying lin said to her son as they are working on origami as she finish narrating the story to him " there's much more to know about the legend of the rings, but you'll earn about that when you're older."

" if dad's rings were so powerful, how did you beat him?" young shangi chi asked her

" where I'm from, we are empowered by the magic of the great protector," he said showing him the dragon origami and giving it to him " when you have the heart of our dragon, you can do some amazing things."

"Can you still do those things?" he asked her

" I left those powers in ta lo with our dragon, but what I got in return is so much better." she said making him smile, then she took out a pendant for him " I want you to have this. Whenever you feel lost, this will help you find your way home. Can you remember that?" 

she said putting it on him. he nod and looks at his pendant excited

Suddenly, a phone alarm rang loudly making the two people in bed jump out of their sleep.

" Shawn...." The girl said to the guy who turns off the phone alarm " really you had to put a loud one" she rubs her eyes 

" sorry Amara...at least we get ready on time..." he said kissing her forehead.

"you're lucky your my husband or I would have beaten you up for the rude awakening," she said 

" Okay sweetheart..." he said sitting up as she gets up and grabs her things to hit the shower first.

he sighed and looked at the postcard before getting ready for the day and work. he finishes his workout and goes to his wife who is making breakfast before they leave to work in the hotel.

I have just gotten my break in the bakery and headed to a place to havelunch...then I saw a car speeding up the hill and spotted it was Katy and Shawn. " oh my god" I said before standing in the middle of the road and the car stops right in front of me.

" heyyyy Amara~," both Shawn and Katy said seeing me 

" no chocolate chips for a week," I said before they became childish and asked me to reconsider cause they can't live without my signature treat but I remained firm. these two can be kids sometimes
