The Sorcerer's Downfall

Meng Ling was a Famous Sorcerer back in his day,he lost his family and position when Shai Kun's forces invaded the kingdom which he called Home.Meng Ling had a son and daughter,his wife died given birth to his daughter and he had to take care of both his children and keep appearance in the Sorcerer's Academy because even though he was famous he still had some enemies who thought he didn't deserve to teach in the Sorcerer's Academy because he came from a Disgraced Family, but Meng Ling didn't let it pull him down.

When Shai Kun's forces invaded the kingdom he was at the Sorcerer's Academy and he couldn't get to his children and they were taken as slaves and most parents who tried to hide their children where killed along with them and no one could stop Shai Kun's forces,Meng Ling was the only one willing to fight against them but he knew that without help it would be a futile attempt to fight against Shai Kun's forces.

Meng Ling left the kingdom with a stone in his heart because he knew that he was powerless to save his children, so he headed to the kingdom of Cauldaria,he wanted their help in rescuing his children and kingdom because they were one of the most powerful Kingdom in the Four Realms.

On The Third day of departure from his Kingdom,Meng Ling meet a young girl she told him her story how Shai Kun's forces raided her village and killed her family and took the girls in her village as slaves. Meng Ling took pity on her and decided to take her with him to the kingdom of Cauldaria he knew he couldn't leave her alone or else Shai Kun's forces might catch her and turn her into a slave like his children. On getting there,Meng Ling washed his face and body at a nearby spring and told her to do the same,then it occurred to him that he didn't ask for her name, she then told him that her name was Chun Mei, Chun Mei was only a few years older than his daughter so he told her that if anyone asks who she was, she should tell them that she was his daughter to avoid suspicion. Meng Ling knew the King of Cauldaria, he and Meng were best friends in the Sorcerer's Academy before he became king, Meng had not spoken to him in years but he knew his friend wouldn't turn him down.

When Meng Ling got to the gate of the kingdom he noticed that the kingdom was heavily guarded and everyone going in and out were questioned,he then called one of the guards and told him that he wanted to speak with the King when the gaurd heard this he flew into a rage he could believe that in this peril time that a commoner would want to speak to the King and the man said it with no fear in his face after hearing this the gaurd called two more gaurds and locked up Meng Ling and Chun Mei. They spent two nights in the dungeon before a gaurd took pity on them and listened to Meng Ling's story and decided to tell the King, Chun Mei was getting tired of the situation she was in, she was the daughter of Shai Kun the Greatest Overlord in The Four Realms,she wanted to accomplish the task her father gave her which was to kill the King and poison the food supply of the Kingdom. She knew that if she asked Meng Ling any questions about the King or if they were going to see the King that he would get suspicious of her so she kept quiet and thought of ways to complete the task her father gave her.

When The King heard that his friend from Sorcerer's Academy was in his kingdom he was overjoyed, He knew that if there was anyone who could help them in this period it would be Meng Ling because Meng Ling was the most powerful sorcerer he knew. he ushered the gaurds to quickly get Meng Ling out of the dungeon, he then prepared a feast to welcome his Bestfriend, When Meng Ling saw his friend Fei Pi he sighed a breath of relief they hugged each other and exchanged pleasantries he then told Fei Pi all what happened to his family and kingdom and that he actually came to ask for help to rescue them, after hearing this Fei Pi didn't know how to tell him this but he told Meng Ling that the reason that his kingdom was heavily guarded was because they were preparing for war with Shai Kun and he was sorry to hear about the tragedy but the only way he could help him is if he won the war against Shai Kun and he needed his help too, after Meng Ling heard this, his heart sunk again but he soon gained his happiness again because he knew if he could help Fei Pi beat Shai Kun's forces he would easily be able to rescue his children and kingdom.

That Night, Chun Mei sneaked out of the room provided for her,and headed to the king's room. On her way, a young boy stopped her and demanded to know who she was, the first thought in her mind was to kill him and continue her task but before she could attack him she noticed the crest on his Vest and she knew it was the same crest that Knights in this kingdom wore to show their ranking and she knew she couldn't take him even in a surprise attack.
