Legend of the Otherworld

A legend come true

This work contains elements from LOA, shorts and the trilogy. It doesn't take anything from LOA besides the characters they introduced and some of his lore. It also contains a good level of violence, blood and a low level of romance. There aren't offensive elements such as language, but later on, in the story, you may find an oc who does. It will still be a low level, nothing excessive.

In this work there's a "special thing" that you'll discover from the first page already. A lot of people don't like the idea but I encourage you to reach AT LEAST the end of fourth page to decide if you want to keep going or not. Please put your trust in me and if you'll decide to stop I'll know you tried. Thanks for reading and enjoy the story.

On Earth, there is no heaven. However, there are pieces of it. If you would spare a moment, we will take a peek at a rather special place.

The rays of light fluttered and danced as they make their way to the land below. The blazing sun shined brightly upon this town, so comfortably nestled among such tall intimidating mountains, and built upon a fertile valley. The residents who moved between the buildings, from the smallest of mice to the heftiest of rhinos, seem to radiate with abundant energy. Everywhere we look, fragile cubs giggle and coo, mischievous little ones laugh and play, diligent grown-up animals shout and work, and the wise elderly share their many tales of life.

It's quite easy to see how this town earned its name, the Valley of Peace. As this flow of serenity flourishes around us, it really is difficult to imagine the destruction that took place not too long ago. This destruction still affects the town to this day, but still, the residents cope, taking on an image of peace.

Several months have passed since the defeat of the latest threat to the Valley of Peace. A spirit warrior by the name of Kai tore his way through the valley with his personal army of jade in search of power and vengeance. With the combined might and wit of the town's protectors, the menace was led away and defeated, and with him, an end was put to the spirit warrior's schemes.

However, his defeat did not immediately usher in peace for all. Ornate towers and humble stores were equally gifted with chipped stones and split wood. While they had been mostly spared, the renowned Jade Palace, the valley's greatest structure, was unrecognizable.

Polished jade shattered, aged wood was burnt, and forged metal was twisted. The innumerable scrolls and artifacts stored within were not spared either, leading to many centuries' worth of knowledge being lost.

The once historic building, which served as a temple, a school, and a home for the students and masters who resided within, was devastated.

When greeted with such a sight, the Dragon Warrior, the Furious Five, and Grandmaster Shifu vowed to resurrect their home. Soon they were joined by craft workers from all walks of life who worked alongside each other, and the masters, to rebuild and restore the Jade Palace to its former glory. It truly was a moving sight to behold.

Within this period of hustle and bustle, and to the shock of them all, Shifu spoke out his wish of retiring to his students. Whenever asked for a reason, the old Grandmaster would simply fold his ears back and say, "It was time." Nevertheless, Shifu, after retiring from teaching, often spent the day meditating.

Po, now grand master of the Jade Palace, dedicated himself fully to the training of the Furious Five that usually ended in the afternoon. The trend followed to this day.

"And that's all you need to know for today," wearily stated the panda. "You're all free to go now." The teacher and students bowed respectfully to one another before Po quietly walked outside.
