Chapter 28

We entered the gates of the Empress palace when I felt something missing. As we came closer and closer we saw something has gone terribly wrong. Before even waiting for the carriage to stop, we all jumped to the sandy walkways. As we ran I could see fire and smoke coming out. People running from every direction. My only thought was to run in. I tried contacting the Jin sisters, I lost contact of Xiao who I placed beside mother. The other two responding as I told them to scout the area. Somehow I knew mother is inside that building. Suddenly 4th Sister shouted in pain. Then I could see the panic in her eyes, I also felt a sharp pain as if piercing my heart with needles. As we ran to the front doors it was evident it was not normal fire. Either caused by alchemy or mystic. Ones mystic can take place as a element and it can be fueled by Qi.

We stopped in front of the burning castle, from the corner of my eyes I saw 3rd Brother running into it. Before long I also ran into it. As I entered I could only see smoke and broken pieces of furniture. "Mother" I screamed, "Empress Mother"

Suddenly I felt a call that sounded like Shifu. I couldn't really understand it. It seemed like it was coming from my heart, inside me. 'Go to the second floor, third door to the left. Everyone fainted, I'm sending you a message because my legs are stuck under burning pillars.'

I didn't know what to do and decided to follow it. I ran up the stairs as fast as I can, I sped through the hallway reaching the third door. As what the message said everyone was fainted, and then I saw Shifu. I ran to her both of us working to free her. As we got her free another pillar fell on the place she was at. She then ran to mother and Empress mother side and grabbed them. Then she put them on top of her spiritual beast and started grabbing more people. I followed and started grabbing people placing them on top of Wolfy and Frost (Dragon). Then I sent Olivia (Owl) to the knights bellow telling them to hold back the fire as much as possible and to look for 3rd brother.

As we started putting people down and made some round, I managed to get everyone on and left on Olivia's back. While Shifu followed along.
