Li Wang saw something shiny at a corner. It’s the dragon’s heart! He saw that Da Shun and his
guards were climbing down. Li Wang quickly took out the pearl and placed it to where the heart
was. Li Wang desperately waited for something malicious to happen, as Da Shun and his guards
were getting closer and closer. Da Shun got out a rope and roared, “You are going to go back to
the Great Wall and face death!”
Suddenly, something unexpected happened. The dragon huffed and puffed that made Li
Wang, Da Shun and the guards fly out of the Dragon. Li Wang then saw the dragon blowing fire
everywhere; the Mogao caves shook under a violent earthquake that made sand and rock fell
to the ground. The caves faced its doom with Da Shun and his guards. The dragon roared, and
stamped his enormous claws and everything stopped.
“I rise, from the rubbles of the Earth” he boomed.
“Thank you for saving me, Dragon!” thanked Li Wang; “I will take you to a tribe I met along
the way as they taught me how to save you! However, one of them tried to help but died while
trying to save you.”
The Dragon obeyed Li Wang and they both went flying back to the oasis.
When Li Wang and the Dragon arrived, there were cheers from at least twenty tribes.
However, when they realised Khulan wasn’t there with them, Gondi approached them with woe, “I
welcome you for returning back safely, but where is Khulan? Is she dead?”
“Khulan’s dead,” Li Wang admitted.
Suddenly a tribe came up to Gondi, “Khulan’s not dead. I saw her over there, behind a tree.”
A few minutes later, everyone saw her and knew she was safe.
“Are you all right?” Gondi asked Khulan.
“I thought I was dead!” she proclaimed.
Gondi then congratulated Li Wang and the Dragon; “I’m thanking you for coming back safely.
I can see the pearl’s power has fulfilled our wishes; Khulan’s alive and you both are safe!”
“Thank you” said Li Wang and the Dragon.
Gondi then said, “Now, I have been thinking, would you like to be our tribal member.”
“No thank you!” said Li Wang,
“We’ve a Promised Land waiting for us, and we’ll go there; we may not know where it is but I
believe we’ll be safe there.”
“Farewell!” said all the Nomad tribes including Khulan.
“Farewell!” said both of them, and they both fly to the Promised Land.
