Master Fu's past
"H-How.... Wh-why are you here?" Marinette asked, trembling.
"Um... You know him?" Keefe asked.
"Yes, she knows me. Now, quit chit chatting and let's go in to my house." Master Fu said, gesturing towards the second floor.
The seven hesitated and looked at Marinette, she nodded, indicating that they could follow him, but she still looked a little shaken.
As Master Fu led them up the stairs, Sophie whispered to Keefe," Do you think we can trust this guy?"
"He did save us and Marinette looks like she knows him so... Yes?" Keefe said, uncertainly.
Sophie frowned and was about to say something when Master Fu interrupted her, "We've arrived!" he announced.
Everyone cautiously took a step into his house and Marinette gasped, it was as though as he had never moved, everything was almost exactly the same, except for a few pictures that were added, plus the miraculous box wasn't on his table anymore.
"Moonlark, come, sit down, I have been expecting you."Master Fu said, patting the cushion in front of him.
"Ho-How did you know that name?"Sophie asked.
"Well....Mr. Forkle has told me a lot about you and he also told me you wanted to keep your identity secret.....so I decided to use that name, don't worry, I'll be very careful, you can trust me."Master Fu said.
"How do we know we can trust you? I mean, all we know that is you're a super old man whose name is Master Fu, and Marinette....kinda trusts you?"Keefe said, pointing to Marinette.
"For those answers, I would need to talk with you all. Except Marinette."Marter Fu said, as Marinette stepped forward.
"Whaaaat??? Why?????? Is there some big secret that you don't want to tell me?"asked Marinette.
Master Fu nodded,"Prescisely. The information I share with them is strictly confidential, especially to you. Please understand that."
Marinette looked like she was about to protest but in the end, she sighed and said, "Fine. But for only ten minutes."
Master Fu nodded, then led the seven over to the next room, locking it.
"You can take off your hoods now. It's safe now."Master Fu said.
All of them hesitated, but in the end, each of them took off their hoods, one by one.
"How did you do that with Lady Gisela and Fintan? How do you know our names? "Sophie asked.
" Easy there, one question at a time. I clearly used telekinesis to make Lady Gisela and Fintan, though mine is a tad bit stronger. And for your next question, I have known your names since Progect Moonlark started, I even took part in it. "Master Fu said, taking a sip of tea.
" WHAT?! YOU TOOK PART IN PROJECT MOONLARK?! "Sophie shouted.
Master Fu nodded calmly," You see, I am a human, Mr. Forkle needed to be informed about human traits. Otherwise, the project would not be as successful as it is now. "
" If you say you're human, then how did you flip Lady Gisela and Fintan? Only elves can do that. "Keefe asked.
Master Fu smiled sadly," A long time ago, before I met Mr. Forkle, I... Lived in the mountains. My mother was a elf who had chosen to live with humans. My father was a human, they met and had me. So that makes me a half-human, half-elf, so that's why I can do those little things that elves can do, like telekinesis as you saw, levitation, blinking and others. I also gained a tad bit of immortality from my mother, though I will still die from old age, I will live much longer than a average human. "
Everyone fell silent, trying to process what Master Fu had just said.
"So...how old are you now? You look....old."Keefe asked.
Master Fu smiled,"I am approximately 186 years old. So, does that answer all your questions?"
"Hold it, hold it. I've got one more question, how did you meet Forkle?"Tam asked.
At Tam's word's, Master Fu's face darkened,"That story, is one that I had expected you to ask. It all started when I was a kid...."
Meanwhile, while Master Fu was talking with the seven, Marinette paced up and down the other room.
"What do you think he's keeping from me Tikki?"Marinette asked.
"I'm not sure, Marinette, but if Master Fu is keeping a secret from you, I think you should not look into it."Tikki said, trying to sound not to nervous.
In fact, Tikki was sure about what Master Fu had wanted to keep from Marinette, it was a secret, not known to many miraculous holders.
Marinette groaned,"What if there's something they're planning without me? They might be in danger! I better go listen a bit, no harm there...."
"No Marinette! Master Fu had warned you not to!"Tikki said, trying to pull Marinette away from the door, unfortunately, since Marinette was much, much bigger, Tikki had no chance of pulling Marinette away.
Marinette put her ear against the door, listening as Master Fu shared his past....
"It all started when I was a kid. I had been trained to be one of the holder of the miraculous boxes, but I did a grave mistake and a monster burned down the place where all the miraculous boxes were held. Every single box, and human or elf was burnt down, all was gone, except me and one miraculous box. While I was running away, I lost two miraculouses, I will always regret that day, but what's done is done, I couldn't rewind time, so I ran and along the way, I met Mr. Forkle."Master Fu paused and his hands trembled a bit.
"So what happened then?"Biana asked.
"Well, Mr. Forkle and his twin were adults then, one of the twins were on some mission in the human world to find some things for the project. But I had fallen to my knees and had asked him to help me. For some reason, he knew I was a half-elf and took me to the lost cities, where I stayed for a few years. After a few years, I came back here, where I stayed as a guardian. Mr, Forkle told me today that you would be coming for the cure for Chat Noir, is that right? I'll go get the cure for you now."Master Fu said.
"Yes, that's right."Sophie said, as they prepared to step out.
"Oh, and Master Fu? I'm so sorry for what happened when you were a kid."Sophie said.
Master Fu smiled,"It's no problem. I am happy that Mr. Forkle had found me, or I would have never survived. He and his twin are a very special elves who help people. You've turned out to be a very unique elf, Sophie Foster, I'm glad they made you. "
Sophie smiled too,"Me too, Master Fu, me too."
Okay, I'm so glad I'm done! Sorry for not updating last week! Goodbye and stay tuned! I will update soon!
