I quickly got up and got dressed. I opened the door as soon as I could. There was a tall, handsome man with long hair.

- Uhm Hello. Who are you?

- Hello. I'm Chase Young. I suppose you must be Anna.

- Yes, it's me. Please come inside.

So we entered my house together. I made us a cup of tea and then sat down across from Chase.

- How do you know my name?

- I found out about it by talking to Omi and Dojo.

- You know them sir?

- Of course. I am a xiaolin master although I don't personally teach Omi or the other three. Talking to Dojo and Omi, they told me that Tsung's Cube chose you to be their master. I also know from them that you can let other people use it. However, you don't want to leave the island and train to be a warrior. Why?

- I don't know - I started to explain - Dojo said that many bad people can come to the island in search of the cube. If I left, people could be at risk of someone else's attack. When I am there, I can always sacrifice myself for their good.

- To be honest. I think this is a stupid idea. If I was evil and wanted to get the Tsung's cube at any cost to become its master, I would not only kill you but also destroy the entire island. If you don't know the basics of the fight, you won't be able to do anything.

- Well ... You're right. But what if I went with Omi and Dojo to the temple and studied there, and in the meantime someone attacked? I would feel guilty for the death of all innocent people.

- That's why I came here. I am happy to take you under my wing and teach you to fight. As for the safety of the island, I can ensure it myself by teleporting here every day.

- But I'm terribly weak and I don't know if I can handle it.

- Every warrior started somewhere. I will try to adjust the training to your strength and endurance so that you will gain great strength over time.

- I think I need a moment to think about it all.

- Of course. I'm not going to rush you, persuade you, or force you. It must all be your decision.

I started to wonder about this offer. I wanted to ask the cube for help what I should do, but just like Chase, he was silent, so he probably thinks it is mine to make that decision. It would be good to learn to fight and be able to protect yourself and others. At one point the earth started shaking. Chase and I ran outside. For the first time in my life I saw a giant, or rather a cyclop, because it had only one eye. Near him flew a ghost that flew with Jack yesterday. Chase immediately moved towards them and defeated the cyclop with one kick so that he flew far into the ocean so nobody in the village was hurt. He stood there for a moment, probably talking to the ghost. At one point she screamed and flew away as fast as she could. Seeing Chase's strength, I decided to leave the fate of my island in his hands.

- Mr. Chase - I said as soon as he approached me - I thought it over and I wish you could teach me how to gain strength

- Excellent! - he said pleased. - Pack your essentials and we'll be on our way immediately.
