𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐄𝐓 𝐀𝐒 𝐆𝐔𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐒 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐊𝐄𝐃 𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃, 𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐀𝐍𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐒. A soldier pauses, a feeling taking over and making him glance around.

A hawk lets out a call, knocking him upside the head, tossing off his helmet.

Letting out a groan he holds his jaw.

The hawk lands on a spike and lets out another call. A hook comes flying up, followed by many more over the edge of the wall.

Gasping, the soldier goes running back to his post. "We're under attack! Light the signal!"

The door opens, revealing a couple of Huns. Jumping out of the way of their hatcher the soldier climbs up the ladder and onto the posts roof.

Grabbing onto the edge as the ladder clattered from under his feet. Taking a torch he goes to light the signal only to gasp seeing  𝗢𝗭𝗔𝗜 – the Hun leader standing before him, the hawk landing on his shoulder.

The soldier glances at the pit of oil, slamming the torch into it. The Hun leader watches as other signals go on all the way along the Great Wall.

"Now all of China knows you're here."

Breaking a flag he sets it aflame. "Perfect."

—

𝗛𝗔𝗞𝗢𝗗𝗔 – the Chinese General and two soldiers – 𝗕𝗔𝗧𝗢 and 𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗧 𝗦𝗔𝗡𝗚 – walk into Emperor 𝗞𝗨𝗘𝗜'𝗦 chamber and bow.

"Your Majesty, the Huns have crossed our Northern Border." Hakoda said hurriedly.

𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗚 𝗙𝗘𝗡𝗚 snubbed his nose up, clipboard and ink paint brush in hand. "Impossible! No one can get through the Great Wall!" He shuts his mouth quickly with a raised hand from Kuei.

Hokoda spoke back up. "Ozai is leading them. We'll set up defenses around your palace immediately."

Kuei stands up. "No! Send your troops to protect my people! Long Feng!"

Long Feng hurriedly looks to the Emperor, blinking helplessly. "Yes, your Highness."

"Deliver conscription notices throughout all the provinces. Call up

reserves, and as many new recruits as possible." Walking down from his throne and to the warriors.

Hakoda stands up, gazing solemnly at the Emperor. "Forgive me, your Majesty, but I believe my troops can stop him." Determination taking over his face.

"I won't take any chances, General. A single grain of rice can tip the scale; one man may be the difference between victory and defeat."
