Lessons for a Master

"For the love, how far up is this place!" I groaned as we walked up a hill of a stupid mountain.

"We need to keep moving, Y/n" Master Wu said.

"I know, I know. I love your father and my grandmother. But could they have made stairs at least."

"Shut up and keep moving," Iron Baron said, as I rolled my eyes.

"Tell me something. Why did you lie to your hunters? About the Oni being real?" Wu questioned.

"I told them what they wanted to hear, that I will keep them safe. And in return, all I ask is to be treated like a king. Is that so wrong? Look around. This is a cruel world. We do what we must to survive."

"There's more to life than surviving," Iron Baron just laughs.

"You already control this realm. Why do you need the armor?" I asked.

"There's always more to rule. That's the beauty of power. One can never have enough. Are you sure the dragon armor will control Firstbourne?" Iron Baron asked as I tried not to smirk. Sensei lies sometimes when it's needed.

"Unlike you, I tell the truth," I tried hard not to laugh at his reply.

"How very...honorable of you." 

"the Master of Lying comes in handing sometimes," I mumbled to where only Wu could hear it.

"It's okay to lie sometimes, especially in this predicament," he whispered back. Iron Baron trips, Wu tries to help him up, but instead he raises the sword.

"Over reacting much, he was just trying to help you," I rolled my eyes.

"Shut up and keep walking."

"Shut up and keep walking," I mocked. He growled and raised his sword. "Not, unh, unh, you still need me to help find the armor," he lower the sword, grumbling as I turned a marched on forward happily and snickering.

"I do not understand how you are a master sometime," Wu sighed.

"You know, I had the same thought when you made me one" I laughed as he just smiled and walked on until we found the world's most unstable bridge. "Oh, hell, to the no. That's a death trap waiting to happen."

"The bridge is too brittle to hold us three," Master Wu said.

"Then you better tread lightly," I sighed as Wu and I started to walk. Wu stepped on a rock, and it instantly falls. We took a few more steps and a rock started to wobble, so we jumped over it. The rock under Wu starts lower, so he jumps over to me. Iron Baron tries to follow us, but the bridge starts to fall along with Iron Baron, but Wu grabbed his hand as I sighed and helped the idiot up. "Keep moving,"  I rolled my eyes.

"A thank you could have been in order," I grumbled.

"That was the perfect chance to get rid of me, but you missed it."

"I gave you my word, remember? Once I get you the armor, you send my ninja home," Wu said.

"There's nothing I would like more than for them to be gone," I rolled my eyes again. For the amount of times this guy made me roll my eyes today, I'm surprised they're not stuck. We stopped at a large rock. 

"This map is indecipherable. A mountain? What mountain?! They're everywhere!" I turned and saw, I swear, the tallest mountain.

"If we have to climb to the top of that thing, I'm staying here," I shook my head.

"We won't have to. I know where the nest is," Wu runs up the mountain. I sighed and followed them up.

"The nest of Firstbourne. And in it, your freedom and my power. Come now. Our future awaits," we walked inside. Which, of course, the entrance was the world's most scary of entrances. Lava, glowing red rocks with lighting shooting at each one, what could go wrong. As we got deeper into the cave, the darker it got. "Wait...I cannot see a cursed thing in here," I felt him run into me.
