Hey Gray, I have decided to review and ask about the main characters from your KFP fanfiction series...the three former villains, aka the Trinity. The second one would be...Lord Shen!

1. I love the idea of giving Shen a family. Since there aren't a lot of fanfics that has him having a family. What inspired you to do it?

2. The family of Shen, Xia, and Lao(Dongji)was beautiful. And I have some questions about them...

-When did Shen and Lady Xia meet? Before Shen's banishment or after? Did Xia know about Shen's banishment? If she did, then how did she think about it?

-How did Shen and Xia get to know about each other before marriage?

-How did Shen react to having Lao? was he proud and happy? surprised? nervous and worried? how was he to Lao before their separation? a warm and loving father? a strict one?

Alright, that would do for our peacock lord! I hope you would kindly reply this one too!

Okay! My thousand apologies for not answering your questions for weeks now! (Real-life starts being a pain.) Now, I'll start off with one known villain most of the fandom loves (remember he's evil)!

1. I don't think either fanfics I know so far have Shen giving a family of his own, so I made his challenging aspect to hinder his plotting progression and the claims of gathering the mixtures of gunpowder and metal. Despite being a single-minded maniac to concentrate on his retaliation, Shen had his secondary objective to keep his family legacy going, regarding his father and mother propose him to marry a princess during his youth age, but otherwise. . . he denied to wed because of his ambition, Shen craved to achieve for. Until then. . .

Finding a new home for himself and his army was no easy task, banished across the northern plains before the tundra. Arriving there to the village where a place accepts people without homes (little did not the community know of Shen's crime at that time) had his unexpected cross path from another, meeting the outcast, like Shen.

Rather multitasking on his ambition, simply by doing what his parents recommended him for the continuation of their bloodline, he started an acquaintance with her.

2. Shen met Xia after his banishment, months of strolling to where he and his army were sent away. Despite the issues of him not wanting to go back home, having plans to conquer, Shen kept his dark secret from her. Little did Xia know him that he "left" Gongmen City to find himself a new home; she had the related experience of bitter relationship from one of her family members. Unrelated to Shen's banishment, she was forced to leave after her father's death, regarding her uncle becoming the next heir instead of her. (Uncle, you dumbass.)

Her discovery soon to reveal Shen's crime that early would have turned tables at him. During their time at peace, as they raised Dongji, and as for Shen secretly plotting to invest and craft weapons (stealing metal including), Xia's revelation only came to her when she found a message from Shen's parents.

3. Shen's reaction having his child did slow his "plotting" progression, but did his tries to spend more time with Dongji. His own father (Lord Feng) regrets not giving Shen's attention longer than he deserves, and what Shen could do to Dongji was allowing his time to be with his son. Being a father wasn't exactly his type, but he accepted to raise Dongji how Lord Feng treated Shen well. I would say Shen doing his best to entertain Dongji was quite warm at first but stubborn.

While gradually loving his son more, Shen was going to admit his resignation for the sake of his own family; Shen would have wanted his parents to be proud of him. His parenthood went downhill when the assassination attempt occurred - the raid at Shen's home after Xia's discovery of her husband's crimes.

Lady Xia and her son Prince Dongji fled their home from Shen. Now entitled the inheritance as the new heir after his parents' demises, the Lord of Gongmen, letting his family go from himself poisoning their minds, returns to his conquest scheme. And the rest becomes history. . .

That's all I can answer for the genocidal maniac, Righteous Flames!

And now, for our final mention, who will be introduced for another review for my favorite anti-hero / villain character!

The Supreme Warlord of all China will be summoned soon.

Little plot hole

Crowpaw/feather said "winter" in one chapter but other cats refer to that as "leaf bare"

How did Crowfeather know what "winter" is if its a human term?!

ii. The New Prophecy

[djkinski]

the prophecy gang again

[grayzeppelin281]

Hey Gray, I have decided to review and ask about the main characters from your KFP fanfiction series…the three former villains, aka the Trinity. The third and the last one would be…the Beast of Vengeance, Maker of Widows, and the Mightiest Warrior, General Kai!

I love the idea of making him a widower. It surely adds a deeper lore on him. Like I said before, one of the things that I was disappointed in the third movie was the lack of depth in Kai's backstory(just like you also said!). And giving him a long-lost family was a great idea. So, what made you write this fabulous backstory?

One thing I was confused about while reading your story was…What exactly is Wugu's current status?More like...

-Is she the same as Kai's Jade amulet? If so, how can she talk and interact with him?

-Or is she a spirit? If so, shouldn't she be at the Spirit Realm? How can she appear in a mortal world?

-I noticed that Wugu both appeared in Kai's necklace and Xing's katana(Wugu's sword). Then… Is the necklace and the pendant some kind of anchor that Wugu's soul is in, and she can travel between the two objects

3. What is the backstory of Wugu? Since she is the sister(P.S: is she older or younger sister?) of the main villain Huoju, I think her story would be interesting too. like… -How, and why did she escape from Huoju? -How did Kai and Wugu meet each other? How did they fall in love and eventually get married?(I can't imagine Kai being 'romantic', haha) -Did Wugu know about Kai's corruption? If she did, how did she think about it? Umm you might have to answer this question by making an another post…

Alright, so that's it for our General, Gray! I will be waiting for your kind reply!

Alright, Righteous Flames! I can not deny that General Kai is my favorite one who is the least popular, unlike Shen and Tai Lung. The lore I did dig in a writing history on his recognition as the Maker of Widows presents him to be a husband killer, proving his vengeance by slaughtering enemies who are married - many wives watched their husbands die by the hooves of General Kai, became widows. This may contain spoilers from my series, The Mightiest Warriors, so if anyone hasn't read, avoid you can! I will answer as little as possible for our giant friend.

1A. Yes! I did mention the lack of depths for Kai's background story that needs to be expanded more. Oogway's story is there, and we need to hear Kai's story as well - we want to know why his brother betrayed him. What other titles did he achieve for and among the good and bad ones? With a hint of Maker of Widows title, I did expand his tragic event that caused the death of his beloved wife Wugu, making him a monster everyone feared of his wrath.

1B. The more I write for Kai's tale, the more I like to understand he had his family during the Great War events in the first place. Since writing The Trinity Book I, I created an idea for Kai to discover his lost memory of his own family member - one of his own who fought beside the warlords. A mystery warrior. What I see Kai's type, mostly everyone I hear, he's like a dad figure, so when I generated ideas to build the warlord's complex tale, after I watched Disney's Treasure Planet (Treasure Island) with Silver and Jim, the hidden symbolism of a father and son truly makes me want to write for Kai and one of my characters (The yak warlord was a father before in his past life, and promising himself to never lose another son, he will protect the important one until his last breath).

2A. (Is Wugu the same as Kai's amulet?)

Now, for my OC's current status, Wugu's essence rests in her amber amulet. Unlike Kai claiming chi from souls to enchance his strength and power, and using Oogway's amulet around his neck last time, her necklace is like a totem charm, her power of whispers she can communicate with her husband, including her defensive abilities to cast her spells against those who harm him, and her healing melody to relieve those around Wugu's proximity. (Her strength is limited.)

2B. (Wugu's appearance in her necklace and Chen Xing's sword)

As for the ancient weapon (Heaven's Wrath) from the falling stars, Wugu, among previous owners who grasped the katana from different times, used to carry her weapon across Great War battles with Generals. After her death, the weapon waits for its chosen wielder, and as part of the previous owner, Wugu can transfer her soul from her amber necklace to straight katana. Same ability to speak with a new wielder, but it is very defensive and lethal, unlike previous sword owners.

Wugu's Background Story

Okay. This appears to be more complicated than ever. Some of these are planning in the works, mostly in spoilers, so I'll share some lore under WIP.

3A. Wugu is a young sister of my main villain Prince Huoju, a few minutes younger than him (They were born as twin siblings, giving references of Luke and Leia Skywalker from Star Wars Original Trilogy, and Prince Nuada and Princess Nuala from Hellboy II: The Golden Army.)

Her background tale (what I'll be digging in this lore) appears to be tragic. What I meant tragic, was their father Emperor Khan became a stubborn leader who wished to erase histories of China and essentials of martial arts; he and his ally (mystery character) forced Huoju to march his army and destroy Qing Temple, where Oogway and his companions built Kung Fu, Wing Chun, and Tai Chi, all three into one essence of martial arts tranquility.

3B. After a recent tragedy event of the Desolation of Qing Temple, the siblings received their curse from Emperor Khan's ally. Wugu's failed attempt was for her convincing Huoju not to lay destruction across temples, but her brother needed to save his own fur from abandoning their legacy. The curse they received was immortality, immune from the mortal age. Realizing her father was much cruelty to despising his own daughter, giving his son the only opportunity to kill his own sister for being a worthless blood, Wugu fled and survived from her father and brother.

3C. (First encounter of Kai and Wugu) Shhhh. Our friend's tale is under progression and will prevail. Will be updating a marriage scene during the last fifteen years before the Great War's end. *Sighs* I really need to learn romance someday (friendship and family are what I am good at).

3D. (Did Wugu know about Kai's corruption?) Yes. She knew her soulmate went to a chi corruption when Kai discovered his ways to claim souls, craving for more to be stronger. Feared that Kai continued to claim masters and a few of worthy for collection (shut up, Grievous!), and fill with loathsomeness against Oogway for panda monks who opened his eyes for the change, Wugu had no magic to suppress his dark chi from an ancient enemy who claimed others like Kai.

That's the last one for the three baddies! Thank you for all the questions, Righteous Flames!

What if Squirrelflight was dull grey-black with stripes and a single white paw, and a tiny white tip on her tail but fluffier?

Then Thunderclan only seeing Scourge reincarnated.

"Squirrelflight" is now "Sootflight"
