It was an ordinary day, which, as it turned out later, was not so ordinary. I am Anna and I live on a whale island that looks like a whale from above. There is only a small village, forest, beaches and the ocean. Most of the time, nothing interesting happens here. As usual, I went to the forest in the morning. In its very center there is a huge empty clearing. Every day I come here to draw and spend most of my time. As soon as I sat down by one of the trees, leaning against it, something fell on my head. I noticed it was a wooden box. I don't know how it ended up on the tree, but I decided to pick it up and take a look at it. As soon as I picked it up from the ground, it started to glow magically. It only lasted for a while and then it became a regular box again. I had no idea what happened then, so frightened, I threw them towards the forest. I sat back under the tree picking up my notebook and starting to draw. I wanted to chase what just happened out of my head. At one point I felt something near my leg. When I looked, it turned out that it was a box that I threw deep into the forest some time ago. Out of fear, I moved as far as I could, but the mysterious box approached me again. I decided to pick them up wondering what this strange box is.
- Hello - Suddenly I heard a mysterious voice
I was scared again when I heard the mysterious voice.
- Who are you! Where are you! I shouted at the forest.
- I am Shen gong wu and I am in your hand. - I heard the answer in my head.
Looking at my hand, all I could see was the box. Is it possible? Am I going crazy? Can this box really communicate?
- You're not crazy. Of course I can communicate. I have chosen you to be my master, and only you can hear me. - I heard the answer in my head.
Master? What does it mean? And what are you? Apparently the mysterious box can read my mind as well as it can answer me in them. So I sat back under the tree with the box in my hands, listening to all his translations.
- You are my master, so only you can give me orders. Even if someone tries to steal me, I won't follow his instructions and I will come back to you. However, I may obey someone's command at your command. As I said, I am shen gong wu, or a magical object. We exist to help the people who use us. I am the oldest and first shen gong wu that was created and I am the only one with free will. Thanks to this, I can choose who I serve.
I'm slowly starting to understand. I think so. So you are the magic box that chose me to be its master. But why me? And what's the deal with these commands?
- I can't tell you why, but I feel you are supposed to be my master. Each shen gong wu has a unique power. Mine is that at your request I can change my shape and properties. When you think about an object or creation, I will change into it. For example, if you want to heat the water, I will turn into a kettle and heat it up. If you want to be able to fly, I will turn into wings thanks to which you can fly. I can also keep things inside me that you can take out at any time.
So I tried to think of something small and the box turned into a little bracelet on my hand. After a while, it returned to my hand again in the form of a little mouse, which jumped to the ground and started running around me. I found it terribly interesting and I practically stopped being afraid of it. Our party, however, did not last long when I suddenly heard someone speak.
- I'm sure it's over here somewhere! We need to find Tsung's Cube before Jack.
And then they showed up.
