Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: New Turtles in America

Chapter 2: The Return of the Dragons

High in the rugged peaks of a hidden temple, the revered master and formidable Shinobi Shaman, Chung I, spent his days alongside his mother, an esteemed elder of their community. Under her guidance, he honed his skills as both a Shinobi shaman and a warrior, dedicated to safeguarding his clan and preserving the legacy of his ancestors.

One day, he made the decision to venture out and explore the world, traveling to New York City, specifically to Chinatown, situated far from the rest of the structures. The temple's exterior was surrounded by an unseen force field both above and below, and within this unique space, he discovered a hidden ancient chamber beneath Chinatown. He chose to design this secret area as his own home.

Inside the chamber lay a remarkable space, a sacred site established by ancient Chinese shamans long before the elders. The complex serves as a grand residence for shaman masters and their students. Since its inception, countless masters have lived and trained within this hallowed chamber, presumably guided by the wisdom of ancient elders. It stands as a symbol of justice, honor, and courage. Additionally, the structure functions as the sacred hall of warriors, housing artifacts from past masters, a moon pool, and a thousand scrolls encompassing kung fu, karate, martial arts, and beyond. The grounds also feature an arena for public tournaments, a training hall with a concealed outdoor training courtyard, and accommodations for students.

The floor is a rich jade green, while the exterior roof features accents of blue, orange, yellow, and red, though these hues are less prominent. Inside the sacred chamber, the jade green continues, and the pillars supporting the lower ceiling are adorned with red designs, showcasing spiraling golden dragons and phoenixes.

As he walked down the hallway, he observed ten rooms lined with sliding doors that appeared old and rusty.

Within the bed chambers, furnished with a canopy bed adorned with intricately carved wooden railings, one could find a footstool, a wash basin, and two versatile small stools shaped like fans. Additionally, a bed chamber might include a lamp, an incense holder, a small chest, and a few cherished decorative pieces. However, Chung I chose to transform this space by acquiring and introducing new items.

At the far end of the hall, two Chinese lanterns—typically red with ornate gold patterns—sway gently on either side of the walls. In the center stands a brown wooden door, intricately carved with dragon motifs.

Inside, the space resembled a dojo, featuring numerous expansions and enhancements that suggested years of development. Each alteration mirrored the preferences and training philosophy of the current martial arts instructor.

On the opposite side of the dojo, the exterior features a walled courtyard adorned with various training equipment, including a weapons rack positioned around the perimeter. This space allows students to practice individually or engage in sparring sessions with one another. In the center of the ground, a yin and yang symbol is prominently displayed.

With each door he creates, he opts for a dark brown, sleek, modern design featuring robust and durable construction. Each piece is meticulously crafted from high-quality materials that minimize environmental impact. The design reflects traditional Chinese culture and aesthetics. The glass section of the wooden door offers practical functionality, providing both privacy and translucence. OPPEIN products come complete with essential hardware and accessories.

Regarding the ten rooms, he opted to furnish them with bed stands, mattresses, dressers, wardrobes, and various types of Chinese decor.

The bedstand features a Dark Cherry Elmwood Imperial Qing Queen Size Chinese Platform Bed with a Lattice Headboard, inspired by the Qing Dynasty Palace style. This exquisite bed is distinguished by its intricate floral and dragon motifs. The low platform design, suitable for queen or king sizes, showcases a beautifully carved headboard adorned with a central chrysanthemum pattern, complemented by an open framework of clouds and flying dragons. The detailed floral and dragon designs extend across all three sides of the bed and its four legs. Meticulously handcrafted from solid Elmwood using traditional joinery techniques, this bed promises a sturdy structure and long-lasting durability, finished with a rich cherry hue.
