Bad Chi - Chapter One "Run in at the temple."

"Suyu! Wait up!" Yelled a unseen person.
I turned around to see who it was only to see someone running towards me, I could not make out who it was but obviously whoever it was, was not used to running.
"Suyu! Please!" Yelled the person again.
Obviously bad sight too for not being able to notice I am standing still, wearing my traditional sky blue robes. Now I could see who it was.
"Yes Tikau?" I said back when he catched up.
Tikau was a plump man who obviously prefered the more mental part of our training over our physical. He too wore the blue robes but it almost seemed too small for him.
"Suyu! You wont beleive what news I was just told!" Tikau said. Now when Takau is excited about something it usually is a big deal.
"What was told to you friend?" I asked.
Fixing himself Takau said in a voice fit for a emporer, "You are being sent out. Out of our walls. You must make haste to the council chambers to know the rest, for I do not know."
I started to run Takau said something while I was running but I was sure it was just a "good luck" not something of any importance.


I made my way through a gap between two large housings, then caught totally off guard I catched something out of the side of my vision. Wiping around to look I saw a cat, but it was more than a cat. It was too big and muscular to be a cat but it was also to small to be a panther. It reminded me of a story we were told as children, the story of the strange people of the forest who are able to change forms from cats to men. But thoughs were just legends... right? Before I could take a better look the cat saw me then almost dissapeared into the shadows.

I could not think of illusions and myths now, I needed to get to the council chambers and see why I have been summoned to go outside our walls.
