Queen of the Jungle
Chapter 2 – Jungle Masters
“I have a special assignment for the three of you. toi may starve ou never come back alive, but it is necessary for warriors, like yourselves, to train yourselves in the harshest of conditions. You’ll have to endure burning, tropical heat, lack of water, and a lack of nourriture supply. If toi manage to pass, toi will indeed be deemed as true high-level masters…”
“That was our order from Shifu, toi guys. Now, let’s pick up the pace!” yelled tigresse to grue, crane and Monkey, who were severely lagging behind in step. “Oh… Why do we have to do this?” uttered Crane, “I don’t know how anyone can survive out here.” “Stop being a baby!” tigresse scowled. “I think I’m going to like it here!” exclaimed. “And we only wonder why.” tigresse replied, sarcastically. The three Kung Fu masters entered the jungle, with little water and no nourriture with them.
They entered a part of the jungle where ancient ruins dating back thousands of area stood firm, with moss and vines surrounding almost all of the stone structures. tigresse then stepped onto what seemed to be a small platform. “You see.” she beamed, “Here lay the ruins of an ancient civilization, whose people actually made a living in this jungle, and managed to built all this despite all these conditions.” grue, crane was still not convinced. “Yeah. And how long did these guys survive here?! Probably about a year.” Monkey sided with Tigress. “I don’t think they could build this in a year.” “Then, once they finished building their structures, they definitely would have left this place, and gone back to where they came from.” grue, crane contiuned. Tigress’ face grew angrier. “Crane, I can tell this civilization lasted for centuries. These villagers became one with the jungle, with all its resources and climate. And that’s what we have to do as well. Understand?!” “Yes Tigress.” muttered Crane. “Then, let’s begin our training. We’ll do it right here.” tigresse declared proudly.
With Monkey’s help, tigresse set up three wooden targets throughout the ruins. The two had chopped down several of the older trees, and carved out a target cercle towards the haut, retour au début of the trunk. “Crane, for use to become masters at a highest possible level, we’ll have to use one of the most common techniques of Kung Fu. The Element of Stealth. This time, the targets themselves will be using stealth. toi must defend yourself from them par using your instincts. But… You’ll have to do it blind.” She explained. She showed him a blindfold that she had brought with her on the journey. Crane, with a puzzled look on his face, asked, “Why do I have to wear that?” “You have to do it this way because we need to use our ears to sense our targets’ presence, not our eyes. Master Shifu has done this many times, and we must learn it ourselves.” she answered him, “And you’re up first. Good luck.” tigresse and Monkey watched from behind a bush, as grue, crane began his training.
Crane stood in the middle of the ruins as the three targets approached him one at a time, courtesy of a rope being pulled par tigresse and Monkey. grue, crane stood silent and at the ready until the first target approached him from his right. grue, crane breathed deeply and sensed the forthcoming target as his ears twitched. With a quick swipe of his right wing, the first target immediately went down. Within a minute, the two remaining targets were downed swiftly and without hesitation. After the final target got knocked down, tigresse and Monkey came out from the bushes and applauded. “Well done, Crane! toi did it!” exclaimed Monkey. tigresse continued, “How do toi feel now?” “Thanks toi guys.” grue, crane said, in relief, “And, actually, I feel rather empowered, if toi know what I mean.” tigresse laughed, and took the blindfold off of Crane’s eyes. “Now… It’s my turn.”
Tigress completed the task in no time all, and the same went for Monkey as well. After the testing was completed, tigresse and grue, crane agreed to a practice battle as they would déplacer around the ruins, with Monkey as a witness. “This seems like a different, but better, spot for us to train together isn’t it Crane?!” she asked. “Indeed.” he replied. The two Kung Fu warriors started out with some punches and kicks, and then grue, crane flew in the available space, as tigresse moved quickly along the ledges of the stone structures. Each time the two managed to traverser, croix paths, a little spar would occur, and, as time passed, grue, crane began to déplacer quicker and quicker. So much, in fact, that he actually managed to be in line with Tigress, step-by-step. tigresse was impressed. “You’re definitely improving yourself.” she a dit while smiling. “I know. And toi were right about this place. When toi focus on what you, yourself, are doing, then the jungle doesn’t become a distraction to you.” “Right. However…” tigresse then lunged into the air, kicking him with a rapide, swift right-footed kick to the mid-chest, “You still can’t let your opponent distract you.” she said, as grue, crane fell onto the ground. After she landed herself, she went over to Crane, and let out her paw. grue, crane lifted his left wing, and tigresse pulled him back up. “I think that should do it for the day. It’s nearly sundown.” she declared to him and Monkey exhaustingly.
That evening, the three gathered around a feu that tigresse started, using the test targets as firewood. “That was some intense training we had today.” remarked Monkey, “So, what’s our plan for tomorrow?” tigresse smiled. “I hear there’s another landmark not that far from here. It’ll take us about an heure ou two walking to get there from here.” “What is this landmark?” asked Crane. “I don’t know. It’s probably another structure built par the ancient civilization. I only wonder what fascinations this civilization had, and how could they have survived for so long in these hard conditions.” she replied. “Yes. I kind of wonder the same thing.” Monkey continued, yawning. “I think it’s time we rest for the night.” stated Tigress. She put the feu out, the three a dit “Good Night,” and the three went to sleep.
The suivant day, they set out to the suivant landmark. As they ventured, grue, crane asked, “Do toi think anyone else in this jungle right now? I mean I hope that we don’t run into an enemy, and have plus to worry about.” “I doubt we will.” answered Tigress, “However, we can only assume that there might be, and we’ll just have to handle it in the proper manner when the time comes…”
