Thunder stood amidst a field of 20 traffic like cones. The sound of thunder echoed through the air, summoning the legends to his side. As they gathered around, Thunder demonstrated a graceful dance, moving back and forth between the cones. "Today," Thunder spoke with authority, "we shall master the art of maneuvering through these cones like lightning. Each one of us will take turns, and I will call your name at random. Until then, go and enjoy yourselves." Excitement filled the air as the legends scattered, their laughter echoing through the training grounds. However, Thunder's gaze landed on Chen, who stood apart from the others, waiting patiently. Calling him over, Thunder explained, "Chen, your task is to repeat precisely what I showed you earlier." Chen nodded, a serious expression adorning his face as he prepared himself mentally and physically. Kris, his watchful eyes observing from above, acknowledged the challenge ahead. Thunder gave Chen an encouraging nod, and with a burst of determination, Chen propelled himself forward, mimicking Thunder's precise movements. "Excellent, Chen! Keep going, you're almost there!" Thunder's voice boomed, carrying encouragement through the air. Chen gritted his teeth, pushing through the exhaustion that tugged at his body. With a burst of energy, he rotated and began moving through the cones in the opposite direction, mirroring Thunder's demonstration flawlessly. As Chen reached the end, his energy depleted, he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. Thunder rushed to his side, an apology lingering in his voice as he said, "I'm sorry, son. I didn't realize how challenging this would be for you." Chen looked up at his father, a mixture of pride and exhaustion in his eyes. "No need to apologize, Father. I wanted to prove myself, to show that I can keep up with the legends." Thunder smiled, placing a paw on Chen's shoulder. "You have indeed proven yourself, my son. Your dedication and determination are remarkable. You are a true legend in your own right." The other legends gathered around, their cheers and applause filling the air. Chen's weariness faded away as the support of his brothers uplifted him. In that moment, he realized that he had not only earned their respect but also a place among them.
