The Day of Thunder

While they discussed, Zhe stirred the pot before cutting a cheese wedge into smaller pieces and adding it to the mix. ''Should about be done'' he stirred again, making sure the cheese would melt and spread around. ''If you could give me your bowls I'll fill them right up! Oh and if you want extra ch...

''That depends Nanzi-sama. As instructions to repair a roof, stitch a hole or as a cooking recipe...yeah, it's useless. But dealing with people is more difficult then objects. We all have different perspectives and ways and thus no straight answer can be given...then there is the problem of hearing ...

Zhe added the roots to the pot with a satisfying hiss coming from the butter. The soaked hard cakes came next, then the spices. He gave a little scowl. "I hate being this blunt." ''Had I been you I would have said something like: A sprout needs constant care and a young tree can benefit from a tutor...

''I am unsure if that is really a hassle though'' The rice finished, Zhe put the pot aside and brought the second one on the fire. With a large wooden spoon the dragon scooped french amounts of a yellow substance, butter for those in the know, and dropped them in the pan twice or thrice. ''I was alw...

''When the wind bellows and the clouds thunders the oak shall tremble while the reeds dance'' Zhe muttered has he prepared rice

Wu Zhe raised an eyebrow, seeming to have missed something as well

Heh, it happens

Now that the fire was ready he began boiling some water in the first of the two pots

''I take it the y'all have seen how things are down south. How is it?''

''Must be all the meditation'' commented, letting the hard cakes pieces soak and turning to the roots

Meanwhile Wu Zhe got three odd looking squares, presumably the hard cakes, from one of the pack and put them in a smaller cloth bag. He proceeded to install in a semi-flat stone and, another stone in hand, smash them. Tok, tok, crack! The cakes began to crumble after the third strike but he continue...

The dragon came back with a few bags hauled over a shoulder and two pots. After a quick check he seemed satisfied. ''Dragonfire stew it will be. You are in luck, I still have some edible roots.'' He checked around for a good place to make a fire ''Could I importune anyone to make fire while I break ...

Wu Zhe took note of that and nodded ''I can manage something without meat and have no fish anyway.'' He slapped his hands ''Allright! I'll go fetch the pots and ingredients'' but before actually doing so he answered Ai's question ''No, not dragon. It's something my tribe always did and most of the p...

"Chee... cheesu?" she questioned. Lord Hida bursting out of the woods, in the nude, streaking across the river yelling Quack, quack, I am a little duck while flapping his arms would not have elicited in Wu Zhe the blunt shock of Ai's comment It was Ukyou's timely intervention that brought him back ...

My work here is done!

It ain't much, but it's honest work.

My work here is done!

''Have you people eaten lunch yet? The village is not far but this is not a bad place or time to break bread if there is need.'' Zhe piped in Seeing how the impromptu group intended on travelling towards the same destination but were now taking a pause to discuss destiny and such ''Fate is a matter ...

Okay, the thread has already been MMed, but Ranmaru flexing at himself for inspiration is killing me. And I want it said, for the record- mad, MAD respect to the player for running with a concept that most if not all of our characters are going to hate. :lol: Not only that but it is well executed w...

Ukyou sighed. "He's such a pain. But what are friends for, but to pull your rear end out of the fire when you need it?" He shrugs with a half smile. He looked to Ai and Wu. "Did whispers of Thunder call the two of you, or did you have a different reason?" Zhe was not sure if the talk of thunder was...

''Well met Nanzi-sama, I am Wu Zhe.'' he replied with a bow ''If the beauty if the land calls you then there is a lot of travel in your future, I am sure''

Then the monk spoke

''Thank you for your words, Ukyou-sama'' he bowed again ''It is only natural that we help each other in hard times.''

Zhe smiled wide. He remembred Jiyo Sora and, for someone so close to the Emperor, had found him to be fairly amiable and down to earth. ''Milk, cheese and more.'' he replied to the imperial, indicating to the numerous sacks the animals were carrying with them. ''A gift for the village. I figured the...

One old imperial, one dragon, his panda, two monks and three cows walk by the river...

At a distance a little dancing light could be seen piercing through the fog. Bobbing from left to right the little flame seemed to be getting closer and with it the sound of bells. Not a clear and crystalline sound, it was slightly muted. Then there came the distinct moo of a cow ''We will be there ...
