It was late at night, and both Fan Sengya and Zhong Liuxian were on watch. They sat by the shore of the pond as they waited for the morning's first light. "Such a peaceful place. I do not think anything bad could happen here."
"Benefactor, speaking like that will only bring karma's punishment down on you." As if on cue, the pond's calm surface began to turn turbulent. And a strong pressure began to weigh down on them. Zhong Liuxian quickly stood up and readied himself for battle: "I told you such words would bring bad Karma. Benefactor, hurry and wake the others."
"Ah! Right!" Fan Sengya was still in a daze. He never thought just saying something on a whim would bring about a catastrophe. "Kana! Girls, wake up!"
"MMm… Meat…" Kana mumbled as she turned over her foot, smashing into Liu Na's stomach, causing her to cry out in pain and wake up. Kana's mouth was right next to Fei's arm. It opened slowly and chopped down, causing Fei to also yell out in pain. Both girls sat up and looked at Kana with aggrieved expressions. Kana smacked her lips and scratched her stomach, still stuck in dreamland. Fei was lucky that Kana did not bite down hard, only hard enough to leave teeth marks.
"Girls, wake up!" Fan Sengya yelled out again. He did not dare open the tent because he did not wish to be skinned alive.
Fei and Liu Na both fully woke up at Fen Sengya's yell. It was then that they finally felt the pressure in the air. "Nana, wake Kana. I will go see what is going on." Out of everyone in their group, only Lui Na was able to wake Kana. So Fei left it to her as she adjusted her clothing and exited the tent. "Fan, what is going on?"
"I don't know, but something big is coming." Fan Sengya pointed towards the pond.
From the middle of the pond, one could see a bugle rising up and something dark just under the waves. Zhong Liuxian's face paled as he watched a large head hundreds of times the size of him emerge from under the water. "By the heavens… A dragon!"
"Hmmm?" Kana, who had just exited the tent with sleepy eyes, heard Zhong Liuxian's cry and looked out over the water. She squinted her eyes to see through the darkness, but when she saw the head that had just emerged from the pond, her eyes shot wide open. "Oho? Big brother?" Kana sniffed the air and shook her head: "No… this is not a dragon… close but not fully a dragon."
"Kana, what do you mean?" Liu Na asked. She already had her sword drawn.
"It may look like a dragon, but it only has some dragon blood. If anything, it is just an oversized ugly snake." Kana replied as she also drew her weapon. She then continued: "But it is not something we can fight, so we will need to retreat quickly. We need to quickly gather the tents and get the hell out of here."
"Got it!" Three of the four yelled out. Zhong Liuxian seemed to be frozen in place.
"Zhong!?" Kana yelled out. She could see the so called dragon slowly getting closer to him. "Zhong!"
No matter how much she yelled over to him, Zhong Liuxian did not react. Kana felt like something was wrong with how he was just standing there in a fighting stance but not moving at all. She told the others to quickly pack up and ran over to him. "Zhong, what are you doing… What is this!?"

Kana went to grab Zhong Liuxian's hand to run away, but when she touched him, she felt like she was touching stone. To make things worse, when she went to try to drag him away, she felt like he was rooted to the ground. He would not budge an inch.
*Roar!*
Kana's hair fluttered in the wind that was created by the roar of the dragon like demonic beast. She turned to see two huge eyes staring back at her. "Kana!?" Fie cried out, seeing how Kana and Zhong Liuxian were still at the pond's shore, now face to face with the huge beast.
All three dropped what they were doing and began running over to them. "Kana, what's wrong!?"

"Stay away! Nana, take the others and leave." Kana cried out as she continued to try to pull on Zhong Liuxian. She was trying desperately to lift him off the ground to carry him away. While they may not have known each other long, they were still friends and teammates. She would not leave him behind if she could help it.
*Roar!*
The dragon like demonic beast let out another loud roar as it opened its huge mouth and shot forward to swallow both Zhong Liuxian and Kana up in a single bite. "Infinity Arrows!" Fei's voice filled the air, and a rain of arrows rained down stopping the dragon like demonic beast's attack.
At the same time, Liu Na and Fan Sengya both arrived next to Kana. "Kana, what is wrong with Zhong!?"
"I am not sure he seems to be frozen. I can't even lift him. It's like he is part of the ground itself." Kana answered on instinct before turning and yelling: "Why are you here? I said run!"
"We can not listen to an order when you are putting your life on the line to save one of our team. We either all leave here alive or all die here fighting." Liu Na replied as she stood defensively in front of Kana.
"Nana is right. We will not leave you here to deal with the danger by yourself. Not after everything you have done for us. I, for one, could not call myself a man and front runner to be your dao companion if I were to run away by myself." Fan Sengya replied, giving Kana a wink.
"You are all crazy!" Kana yelled but she still felt warmth well up inside her. She was happy these people, her team was willing to face this danger with her.
"Not as crazy as you are!" Nana laughed as she retorted.. She then braced herself for the next attack from the dragon like demonic beast.
