that this man had a wife, he kept one piece to himself gave the other to his wife. Not long after, he
reluctantly had to leave her side, due to the great war. The woman was then lost forever. The Jade it self
glows with the touch of its owner, also powers and using his abilities. He was natural, after a short practice
session. Zane managed to wake the Monk through sending pulses through his nervous system.
Once and for all, the Monk decided to take Zane to heaven. Upon their arrival they informed the servants
of the Jade Emperor about the boy and his jade, they led them into the throne room where the Emperor sat
waiting for them. The Jade Emperor, informed them of the long gruesome journey they were about to
embrace upon, he them off with a few escorts from the army of heaven. Zane wished everything was just a
dream and hoped that his mother would wake him up as if it was all a nightmare. But it wasn’t. In order to
arrive they had to cross an extremely steep mountain, filled with unknown danger, nobody had survived a
trip hiking up this very mountain.
Not long after, Zane, the adventurers and the army of heaven began their journey up said daunting
mountain. The path that would eventually lead to the rainbow archway and Zane's father. However, little
did they know down beneath the steep mountain lived Hiro and his snake. Hiro, one day sitting in his liar
sensed the presence of the radiating jade. Something that had a unique aura. Curious and greedy; he wanted
whatever artifact it was for himself.
Just as the group arrived at the rainbow archway, Hiro appeared, gatekeeping the path ahead.. A battle
erupted immediately. Sitting idle in a corner, the Monk focused, concentrating hard to gaze into the future.
The Monkey King took out his Golden Staff, enlarging it to a thick and enormous state. The Golden Staff
fell towards Hiro, with a flash, the Golden Staff fell back. The Monkey King turned it into to a thinner pole
and held it in his hands. With a smash, he caused everyone to fly up except for the Monk and Zane. Now in
the moonlight, it was clear enough to see Fuxi. The long snake slithered across the rocky floor and hissed at
the escorts, spraying venom into their eyes and made a shield around Hiro.
The Monkey King charged with all his might with the Golden Staff in his hand, he hit Fuxi at the same
time venom was sprayed onto himself. The pair fell to the ground and passed out. Everyone just stood there.
Looking over the two figures. Tears streamed down everyone’s eyes forming a river down the mountain.
Hiro stood in front of The Monk and shook his hand. The Monk stared into Hiro’s eyes and could tell that
all the years of being evil has been washed away by his tears. For the first time, the sun rose up upon this
mountain. Using the power of the jade, Zane saved the lying pair.
They stepped onto the rainbow bridge and arrived at Zane’s long lost home. In the distance, they saw a
castle on top of the hill and headed towards there. Streets were dirty and depressing, however, every step
Zane took, the nature of life and happiness begun. The sun was hugging them, and when they arrived at the
palace doors, they were in awe. The moat was stinking like spoiled egg, the castle had stains and the guards
were droopy. The palace moat bridge was lowered down and as Zane walked every step, the smell of
spoiled egg faded, instead a sweet honey scent could be sensed. A guard escorted them to the throne room.
On the throne was a man, closing a photo book and printed in the middle of the book was ‘Zane’.
Welcoming his visitors, the king examined Zane from head to toe. As he went down, he saw a glowing
jade, he stood there and stared at the Jade. Tears streamed down his face. He hugged Zane. He has found his
lost son. After a while of talking, Zane finally believed the mysterious man was his dad. His dad gave him a
jade as a present and hung it around his neck. The jades blended into each other glowing like a star. As Zane
and his father shared what has happened during the previous years, the travelers left to heaven leaving Zane
and his father in everlasting happiness.
