Master Oogway, did you... [She's still a little shaken, give her a minute.] ... did you go up to Deck 1 too?

[wiserthanusall]

Hm. I was there already.

[He nearly tripped getting down the stairs, not a pleasant fall, at his age.]

There is more darkness in the sky. Be careful, by young friend, I do not know if this is finished.

[lilyground]

Do you know what kind of bird that was?

[wiserthanusall]

Yes.

Zhū Qiǎo is a creature of pride, and of planting seeds. Do not be afraid of him; be mindful, and he cannot hurt you.

[lilyground]

Are you sure?

[wiserthanusall]

Nothing is certain. But...I am very old, and Zhū Qiǎo is much older. I know the path well, by now.

Beshides, I do not think he is looking for ush. It is easy to miss what you are not trying to see.

[lilyground]

What about the voices?

[wiserthanusall]

I'm not sure....could be any number of things. We must meditate on it, for your next lesson.

What did dey say, to you?

[lilyground]

They said things like... things like "I know what you did", and "I know what you are". And then they said "bring him to me and i will grant your wish", over and over and over.

[That was tempting.]

I dunno who "he" is, though.

[wiserthanusall]

Hmm...Da tis a puzzle. Perhapsh dey mean the Captain?

[No, that would be too simple. Besides- anyone can see that 'bringing' Redd anywhere is beyond all their power.]

Or, one of the crew.

[lilyground]

[Sudden. Fear.]

M-maybe Kage? Maybe B?

[wiserthanusall]

Do not panic.

[lilyground]

But what if something happens to Kage or B or anyone or - or even the captain if it's possible?

[wiserthanusall]

I do not know. It will depend upon us, and what we choose to do.

However, becoming over-excited, panicking, will not help us. Remember the breathing? This too, is part of Kung Fu.

[lilyground]

... Right. Calm. I got this.
