CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

His small chunky body suddenly erupts into flames. The power from it was so strong that It blasts me at least fifteen yards away.

His arms suddenly change into wings about ten feet long, the feathers on them glisten in the sunlight, beautiful colors of red and gold reflect from it. A stark contrast from the pretty purple color that had once adorned his body.

The blast stun the weed monsters for a second, giving Baozi enough time to escape from them. Then, he flies up high in the air, his one charcoal orbs changing into a bright orange. A circle of flames surround his body, and like a sword it straightens and heads towards the weed monsters.

*BOOM*

I can not believe that Baozi is actually this strong. And to think! All those years of me fighting and wasting energy when I could have just put Baozi at the fore front. Sigh, what a waste of a good mount all these years.

“ Yes! Finally you realize!” The Jade Emperor’s voice echo throughout the garden. The once injured weed monsters disappear. And the battered field of flowers soon stand anew, their petals shiny and fluff, as if they hadn’t been uprooted a short while back.

The Jade Emperor appears as a tree in front of me, as Baozi flies over to my side, changing back into his toddler form.

“Why do you always have to shout!?” I ask slightly annoyed.

“That question is not important my dear. What is important, is that you’ve finally realized the error in your ways. All these years you’ve only relied on yourself. Completely neglecting the fact that you have a mount that is meant to accompany you in your trials also.”

“Oh that. Hehe.” I scratch the side of my head a bit embarrassed. Sheepishly glancing at Baozi from the corner of my eyes, while a tint of red coats my cheek. I guess I have been treating Baozi more like a pet than something that could ȧssist me. It’s just, I’ve been so use to relying on myself to get everything done that I...I’m just not used to having someone to share my troubles with....

“That’s fine my dear, I know your worries. What’s good is that you know your faults. Now that you know your downfalls, you understand what you need to do in order to stand at the top. With great power, comes great responsibility.”

“Okay! Got it! So...how come Baozi is so powerful, for a baby bird.”

“Master! That’s because I am the great Vermilion bird, the king of kin-

“There’s nothing wrong with this great one’s diet. I eat a lot of veggies and meats.”

“Little bird, have you ever heard the saying that too much of something isn’t necessarily a good thing?” The Jade Emperor says inquiringly.

Baozi shakes his little head no, stray tendrils of his hair flying as he says so; an innocent look of naivety painted on his round face.

“It means that if you just eat food all the time you’re gonna be a chunky little bird who can’t fly. And your master wouldn’t want a bird that can’t fly. Why, that would be an embarrassment to the Vermilion bird race if such a thing was ever leaked.” Baozi took the trolling words of the Jade Emperor very seriously, nodding his head to everything the Jade Emperor spoke about.

Why do I suddenly feel left out?

“Hey!? What about me! I need advice too!”

“Oh right! You’re advice is don’t be an idiot. Also, being lazy only takes you so far. Don’t think I don’t know why you gave Baozi such a difficult task in the first place.”

After giving his piece, the Jade Emperor conjures up a gold robe for Baozi to wear, red underpants trimmed with green also made to go along with it.

Ah! Those colors remind me of the holiday Christmas. Around this time of the year the orphanage would be at it’s busiest, foreign people coming in and out using the orphans as advertisements for their “honest” work. Then there would be the cute toys that all of the children would receive from a nearby toy company, that sponsored the orphanage.

As I was reminiscing about my past life, I feel something cold drop on my nose. I look to the sky only to see snowflakes falling from it. Thousands of them from all directions coating the ground in a white carpet. Baozi seems to be enjoying it as he has his pink tongue stuck out, letting the snowflakes drop onto it and melt.

A smile breaks onto my face.

That’s right...I still have my family.
