Queen of the Jungle
Chapter 2 – Jungle Masters
“I have a special assignment for the three of you. Ты may starve или 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 Еда supply. If Ты manage to pass, Ты will indeed be deemed as true high-level masters…”
“That was our order from Shifu, Ты guys. Now, let’s pick up the pace!” yelled тигрица to кран 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!” тигрица scowled. “I think I’m going to like it here!” exclaimed. “And we only wonder why.” тигрица replied, sarcastically. The three Kung Fu masters entered the jungle, with little water and no Еда 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. тигрица 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.” кран 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.” кран 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.” тигрица declared proudly.
With Monkey’s help, тигрица set up three wooden targets throughout the ruins. The two had chopped down several of the older trees, and carved out a target круг towards the вверх 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. Ты must defend yourself from them by 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.” тигрица and Monkey watched from behind a bush, as кран 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 by тигрица and Monkey. кран stood silent and at the ready until the first target approached him from his right. кран 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, тигрица and Monkey came out from the bushes and applauded. “Well done, Crane! Ты did it!” exclaimed Monkey. тигрица continued, “How do Ты feel now?” “Thanks Ты guys.” кран said, in relief, “And, actually, I feel rather empowered, if Ты know what I mean.” тигрица 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, тигрица and кран agreed to a practice battle as they would Переместить 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 кран flew in the available space, as тигрица moved quickly along the ledges of the stone structures. Each time the two managed to пересекать, крест paths, a little spar would occur, and, as time passed, кран began to Переместить quicker and quicker. So much, in fact, that he actually managed to be in line with Tigress, step-by-step. тигрица was impressed. “You’re definitely improving yourself.” she сказал(-а) while smiling. “I know. And Ты were right about this place. When Ты focus on what you, yourself, are doing, then the jungle doesn’t become a distraction to you.” “Right. However…” тигрица then lunged into the air, kicking him with a быстрый, стремительный, свифт right-footed kick to the mid-chest, “You still can’t let your opponent distract you.” she said, as кран fell onto the ground. After she landed herself, she went over to Crane, and let out her paw. кран lifted his left wing, and тигрица 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 огонь that тигрица started, using the test targets as firewood. “That was some intense training we had today.” remarked Monkey, “So, what’s our plan for tomorrow?” тигрица smiled. “I hear there’s another landmark not that far from here. It’ll take us about an час или two walking to get there from here.” “What is this landmark?” asked Crane. “I don’t know. It’s probably another structure built by 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 огонь out, the three сказал(-а) “Good Night,” and the three went to sleep.
The Далее day, they set out to the Далее landmark. As they ventured, кран asked, “Do Ты think anyone else in this jungle right now? I mean I hope that we don’t run into an enemy, and have еще 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…”
