XXII: Kingdom under fire Part 1

I could only thank whatever deity was looking down upon me, because everyone was much more preoccupied with the impending attack that on my clothes, which would undoubtedly cause much of a stir among the ranks. Regrettably for me, the dress was much too constraining, so I tied my sleeves up and tore the skirt a bit to move somewhat more freely.

“General Kai!” I shouted, and immediately the man materialized to my left. He, like Bao Hu, had taken quite a liking to the Path of Wind.

Anyone could choose whatever element they wanted to challenge during each tribulation, but so far, only my father and I were crazy enough to attempt more than one element.
