Once she fought alone, no foe could stand before her
In the flames of war, she claimed her own destiny
When the sun finally rose, and the strife came to a close
Their marching drums and chirping birds silenced her woes
Glory worthy of envy, strength deserving of fame
Boundless wealth that any man would claim
Yet she need only her horse, her dragon, her cricket, and her brew
And a sword with which she can cleave the sky in two

In the past, she fought in her father's place
Through the trials of battle, she concealed her strain

A victim of fate, she was bound to the blade
On her battered armor, the bloodstained would not fade

Though honored and praised, Mulan seeks no fame
Her heart longs for home, not the empire's acclaim

Her deeds and her devotion shall be known for ages to come
The great sea is vast, and the sun shines on high
Through her pain is immense, her faith will not die
Hell or high water, come what may from her path, she shall never go astray

Her sword laid forgotten, biding its time
As she yearned for freedom, to take what is hers
Her heart calls out to her, there is no need to ask why

When the time is right, she shall spread her wings and take flight

They tell her to obey, to be subservient and polite
To do all of her chores like a respectable wife
Yet her soul burns with passion, to live and to fight
To rise like a song into the dawn's light

In the past, she fought in her father's place
Through the trials of battle, she concealed her strain
A victim of fate, she was bound to the blade
On her battered armor, the bloodstained would not fade

Though honored and praised, Mulan seeks no fame
Her heart longs for home, not the empire's acclaim
Her deeds and her devotion shall be known for ages to come

The past is far behind her, buried in the ground
The feats that brought her glory are nothing to her now
She ride back to the place she call home
With her sword at her side and her spirits held high
She trade her armor for dresses and go about town
But it is no longer the home she have known
She aim for the stars, the battle is hers
No longer bound to the past
Her undying might shall carry her forward until she breathe her very last

The great sea is vast, and the sun shines on high
Though her pain is immense, her faith will not die
Hell or high water, come what may
From her path, she shall never go astray

One day, she comes across the war in the Celestial Realm
She ride her dragon named Mushu to come and aid those in need of help
When she made it up to the clouds, things have start to change
She fought off the demons that attempt to dethrone Jade Emperor
With her sword and her dragon, she is unstoppable
Demons may be stronger than her, but her spirit is stronger than them

When she won the battle, Jade Emperor offered her fame and to be a Celestial Warrior
But she comes for no fame or anything, she only yearns for home she's still searching for
So he gifted her the Staff of Light and powered up her father's sword that allows her to summon wind
She accepted them and went off her way to her own journey

Throughout her journey she comes across the monk
He seeks for the Journey to the West and offers her to come along
Her heart calls out to her that this will be her home
So she followed her heart and joined him

After she joined the monk, the monk meets new friends, the dragon, the pig demon, and the sand demon, especially Monkey King
Then she met the nine-tailed fox and of course, the cunning black monkey
After which Mulan learned what friendship is, even love
Together, they are strong and unstoppable as they fought off their foes

They come across the great evil, the lady bone demon
With her sword and her friends, their battle will be legendary
After the defeat of the lady bone demon, Mulan was seriously injured
A victim of fate, she was bound to the blade
On her battered armor, the bloodstained would not fade
She felt cold and weak as she lived a short but wonderful life,

For this Mulan died with honor, but God gave her a second chance,
A reincarnation that will fulfill her generation

A/N: These lyrics/poems are inspired by the video about Mulan called "My Path". It's beautiful and fitting for her. As for the sudden disappearance on each chapters, I would like to make a fresh start of the plotline after watching season 4 of Monkie Kid. I feel like my writing needs to do better, especially with the character developments. So, yeah. Hope you enjoy the prologue! Love ya!! Peach out!!
