After I had taken a bath, Baozi comes and hands me a towel along with a clean pair of diapers.

"Hey Baozi, where did you get these from?" I ask curiously. This place doesn't look like the type to carry around baby products.

"Oh! Guess I forgot to mention it. Master, this is the legendary, Heavenly Pavillion, with treasures ordinary people in the outside world can only dream of seeing let alone having. You can just think of what you want and then 'poof' it appears out of thin air." He makes a motion with his hands when he says poof. "The water you just washed in is full of medicinal and purifying benefits. The Koi are nice and plentiful and they assist greatly when it comes to cultivation. That's all I'm willing to tell you now though. The rest is too long. You will just have to find out yourself."

"Wow, like..I knew this place was good but I didnt realize it was this amazing." Now that I'm starting to learn the in's and out's of this place new ideas pop up in my mind. Hmmm I think I'm gonna like it here.

[ If you get the reference I got it from, you are an awesome person =) ]

Changing into the diapers I am suddenly struck with realization.

"Baozi! Quick! How much time has past since I've been here." My voice is panicky, my nerves tightly wound.

"Master it's been around 4 hours already, why'd you ask?"

"Oh my gosh no. Listen, you have to tell me how to get out of here. I'm suppose to be with my master and if he finds out that I have such a heaven defying treasure, I don't know what would happen."

The dumb bird doesn't say anything after a while, until, out of the blue he starts to laugh. My face turns red with anger and mild embarrssment.

"This...Why you...Who are you laughing at. I am your master. I command you to stop!" Finally after 5 whole minutes he stops, but I can still see the crystal tears hanging off the ends of his eyes. Hmph, dumb bastard.

"I'm sorry master, its just that the look on your face was priceless. This filled bun thought you knew that the time in here and out there is comepletely different. Since it has been 4 hours in here then only about 10 minutes have passed out there." Ohhhhhhh, now I feel stupid.

" That...ummm....Still though, if you respect your master then immediately tell her how to leave this dimension."

"No problemo, just close your eyes and imagine your soul being dragged back into your physical form." I do as he says and when I open my eyes again I am back inside the sect master's study, his entire attention focused on that of the stack of papers he's reading over.

"Master, did it work." Baozi's voice pops up in my head and I jump a little, startled at the invasion of personal space.

"Obviously you dumb bird. Does it look like you can see me." He stays silent after that. Guess I hurt his ego. Ha.

30 minutes later, the peppered hair of Shan Chao, sect master, looks up at me. His inquistive gaze locks on me for a good minute before he blinks.

"Ahem. Melia as you know, I am now your master and in taking up this arduous role comes a lot of responsibility. Like teaching you how to cultivate and so on. Now I heard from Lei that you're grandparents gave you a set of cultivating books and looking at your appearance I can tell that you've already started. So, I'm just going to check how far you've advanced so I can understand what I need to do."

He gets up from his desk and within 4 steps, stand in front of me. He then extends a crystal ball infront of me and asks me to touch it. I do as told.

My palm reaches out and rests on the ball. A spark of lightining cracks and colors then appear. The colors begin with a light shade of red, then darkens, going to orange, yellow, and after that it stops on a nice shade of baby blue. Shan Chao looks at me with shock in his eyes, seemimg to be at a lost of words. I understand sect master, I usually have that kind of effect on people.

"Child! Goodness Gracious. Y-..y...yo..You're a once in a lifetime seen cultivating prodigy!" He exclaims in delight. Pshhh, tell me something I don't know.

"With you, this sect's reputation will surely increase by leaps amd bounds." Stop it Shan Chao, I'm flattered. Please do continue though, I was only joking when I said stop.

Putting away the crystal ball he lifts me up in his arms, carrying me towards a foreign place. It looks like a training ground. I can see disciples doing all kinds of physical excercises to buffen up, boys and girls alike.

"This is where you go to strengthen the body. Since you are young I will start you off first by lifting some weights, then, after you're used to it. That's when we'll begin sparring."

He rests me on the soft grass and motions for a worker to come over. Whispersing a few words in his ear the worker nods and leaves, he comes back soon though. A bunch of baby weights in his hands.

"Since you are only...what, 4 months we're gonna start you off on lifting bunies." It's almost exactly as it sounds. 2 stuff bunnies on either end of a short pole lay on the ground in wait for me to use them.

"This is humiliating." I grumble under my breathe. "What was that, I didn't hear you?" Shan Chao says. That cocky little bi-...

"Chop, chop. We dont have all day. I wanna see you lifting those bunnies high in the air by 5pm. No Slacking." I'm gonna chop chop your ass if you don't stop provoking me. He walks off after that, with me glaring daggers at him. If looks could kill he'd be incinerated.

Did I mention the fact that I have on a pink bunny shirt. No? Well, now you know.

Brushing my hands together I sigh in defeat.lets just get this over with. I mean I did martial arts all the time with my sensei back in my previous life. How hard can this be? Lifting a few bunnies, hmph is he looking down on me.
