(Shaolin Monastery 22 years ago Master Daoxuan)

         The night was still the wind softly tugging at the trees. It was a late spring night and the full moon was set highly in the sky. There weren't very many disturbances until the sound of horses filled the secluded area. I walked to the opening of the monastery to find his majesty on his knees before me. 

"What is the commotion?" I sighed as he looked up to me.

"I beg you please, save my wife and my child I believe your the only one who can" he pleaded as a peircing scream was heard from the carriage.

"Bring her in quickly" I motioned inside until another man came up to the doorstep.

"Master" he choked back a sob as he held his wife near him "Please save her, our child"

"Her too help everyone inside" I panicked as I rushed back inside "Now tell me what's going on"

"She began labor early this morning but it seems as if nothings happening just her contractions. We never had his much trouble with our first child" the emperor sighed as more screams were heard "Please just make it stop"

"And with your wife, Wu?" I looked up to the other man who was seated before me.

"Same thing, but she keeps saying something about a prophecy" 

"The red string of fate" the emperor mumbled before looking up at me "Her majesty spoke of it as well"

"Your children are connected their lives a pulling at one anothers energy" I sighed as I looked up at the at the panic sticken men "I need to tend to you're wives" I stood up and walked into the room over.

"Master" Lady Wu  sighed as she reached for my hand "Please what is happening" a small tear escaped the corner of her eye as she looked over to the empress "What is happening to our children?"

"Master" the empress gathered enough strength to sit up "Please tell us"

"I have a feeling your childrens lives are connected. Your husbands said you both mentioned some sort of prophecy" I sighed as they looked at each other.

"My grandmother got torn away from her soul mate and would always tell me that the red string of fate would come to join her and him together gain" the empres sighed.

"My grandfathers soul mate was torn away from him as well he said that someday somehow he would find her again whether he was in this world or not" Lady Wu grasped the empresses hand "Was your grandmother Zheng er?"

"Oh god" the empress began to cry as the emperor entered the room along with Master Wu.

"What's going on this doesn't make sense" Master Wu panicked as he sat beside his wife but this is something I have seen before. Two lives are reaching back out towards one another. The red string of fate when broken cause an imbalance in nature leading to things like this. Two lives connected as one.

"They must give birth right now the children are harming each other draining their energy by fighting for one another. Stopping that alone is beyond my power but if you don't give birth now they're putting both their lives at risk. The reason the pain is getting stronger
