Ruler of the Bamboo Forest (Closed)

"Relax, Ming-Jin. We don't know what's going to happen yet, but we must be mindful," Cheng-Ti replied. He then looked at his son and vowed that he would do everything in his power to keep the cub safe.

King Li Bing looked at them all. "We will try to reason with Jun Kun first and if he tries anything I will unfortunately have to do worse. What better way to hurt the enemy than by kindness first of all?" He looked at Tai Shan, "You disappoint me. Cheng-Ti perhaps I can talk to the little one alone?" He looked at Ming-Jin, "My loyal friend you know you are always respected by me."

"Shall I alert the other tigers?" Ming Jin asked. "It will do us more good to have everyone ready and alert than let them have the advantage of surprise over us."

[KingKovu44]

"Yes, Ming-Jin. Alert them and also the deer, wild oxen and other animals. As you said, if we are all alert, we are more likely to avert a war or takeover attempt. As for the king's suggestion, I agree. With regard to my son, I think it would be good if you talked with him, your majesty," Cheng-Ti replied.

King Li Bing nodded and waited for everyone to leave. "You should be more careful Tai Shan. Your father only loves you and cares for you." He then smiled and said, "Don't feel too bad though for I did the same thing at your age." He said to Tai Shan, "There are many things a king must do but the most important are these: protect the innocent, love your subjects, and fight for what is right. Do you understand Tai Shan?"

[KingKovu44]

"I think so, your majesty," Tai Shan replied. He then turned his attention to the king doing what he had done as a cub. "Did you really do something like what I did when you were a cub?" he asked.

[VitanisMate]

Li Bing smiled, "Oh yes. Not exactly what you did but we all have our temptations Tai Shan. I admit it was and still is, when I recall it, great fun." He then looked at Tai Shan, "Jun Kun will not attack me. He would never do something so evil. You see I only exiled him for his cruelty. What happens with kindness Tai Shan? What have I told you?"

[KingKovu44]

Tai Shan tried to remember the lessons the king had given him. "That kindness is the best way to overcome cruelty?" the tiger cub answered, hoping that his answer would be accepted.

[VitanisMate]

Li Bing smiled, "Yes but not only that. Kindness can conquer everything. Now don't worry about Jun Kun Tai Shan. Run along and play with your friend."

[KingKovu44]

"Thank you, your majesty," Tai Shan said. He then went to go and find Xiu Fen. He found her with her parents. "Hey Xiu Fen, guess what I just learned," he said.
