Sasha Clay was saved by Shang-Chi only to be abandoned by him for 8 years. she longed to see him again but definitely not under these circumstances.
・・・・★・・・・★ ・・・・
Now she has to fight alongside her friends to save the legendary Ta Lo from his delu...
"You both good?" Shang-Chi asked the second he was thrown into the cell with his sister.
"Hate to say I told you so, but I told you so." the man gave out a small chuckle at Sasha's quip from her place on the ground with her head on Katy's shoulder.
"So, um, pretty confused right now, because, uh, initially I thought your dad should definitely see a therapist for his delusions, but then that dragon vomited a magical water map, and now I have no idea what's real." Shang-Chi couldn't help but nod in agreement at his best friend's words
"Is what he said about your mom's village true?" Sasha asked the siblings, Shang-chi sighed sliding down the wall
"She used to tell us stories about Ta Lo when we were kids. A village in another dimension full of magical creatures. I thought it was just a fairy tale." He explained, thinking about the times the two would sit with their mother as she told them stories of the wonderful faraway magical land she was from.
"What if Dad's right? About Mom being locked behind a gate by her own people? Crazier things have turned out to be true." Xialing considered, Shang-chi looked at Sasha who was now sitting straight
"Look, it won't matter if he's right or wrong, if this is gonna end with blood, we can't just let him destroy Ta Lo"
"She's right, I don't know what the hell is going on, but if we don't find a way to get to Ta Lo before him, he's going to destroy what's left of our family" he ran his hands through his black hair.
"This family was destroyed a long time ago" Shang-Chi frowned at his sister's statement knowing she was right.
"Poppet." Shang-Chi froze at the use of his childhood nickname, growing up Sasha was petrified of everyone in this home, so Shang-Chi made it his personal mission to make her as safe as possible, so to her he was first and the most nicest person she'd ever met earning himself the nickname of "poppet" and he loved it. He looked at her with a smile making her chuckle as she moved to sit next to him "About the-"but her whispers were cut of when the two went rigid when they heard a muffled groan "what the hell was that?" Shang-chi was the first to get up, followed by Sasha and Xialing.
"Oh...you're- you're going towards the noise?" Katy fumbled on her words, Shang-Chi looked over his shoulder to see Sasha helping her up.
"Yeah, haven't you seen horror movies?"
"I don't think that's the takeaway there."
The group made their way towards the noise carefully, Shang-chi flinched a little when he heard the sounds of metal striking, Sasha holding his forearm with concern.
