Arise o Youth, Destiny is Yours (No SV, Welcome to the MCU)

The Great Asian War 2: To Grow and Live.


You took a deep breath as you finished cleaning your hands, counting to five as you said. "Next." You had tried your best, but be it as it may, you were still only one person, working with people whose idea of modern medicine was… lacking.

That did not mean they were incompetent, no, the doctors of this clinic, Dr. Lee and Dr. Wong were experts at what you would consider advanced first aid and traditional Chinese medicine and if they were able to take time to study, you would admit that they would be fantastic medical doctors in a more modern sense. In fact, the tips you gave them both made their patients feel better, and make this clinic into one of health and wisdom in equal measure.

They were cleaning their hands regularly, sterilizing all their equipment, and even used more modern medicines, like vaccines for several ailments, like the flu, and smallpox, which they did regularly.

Unfortunately, despite being more forward-thinking in their ways, even allowing you to work among them for the foreign visitors, they still practiced medicine that you could not reasonably call safe, ethical, or healthy for themselves and the patients.

The concoctions they came up with, using rhino tusks, among other things, were terrible for their patients. Some of the tea remedies were actively poisonous, and if it were not for you constantly warning the two men about the potential allergic reactions that one patient was going to suffer, that child would have died.

But the day was close to an end, and the two men had prepared a pot of tea, as they sat, waiting for you.

Both men took a moment to glance at each other before both drank some tea. "So, Heirich." Dr. Wong was the only one of the two who spoke German, being part of Von Falkenhausen's Trained Divisions of Soldiers during the civil war, a survivor of the First Defense of Shanghai. "Tell me, where did a boy like you learn to become a doctor?" He asked.

You shook your head. "I learned from textbooks and others. It came rather easily after that."

Dr. Lee then said something to his colleague. And Wong Translated. "What of your… other proclivities?"

"What? What does that even mean?" You asked.

Wong then shook his head. "Sorry, the wrong word, I meant to say, do you feel… a connection to this place, to our country?"

You frowned. "I don't feel any connection with any place, only the people that I care for."

Lee turned to face his colleague, before shrugging. "Have you tried meditation, to feel your spiritual energies?"

You frowned. "No offense, but I don't think taking part in such rituals will be good for my soul."

That made Lee laugh, and Wong to join him with a softer chuckle. "You strange people with your strange customs. We are not asking you to convert, merely to feel the energy around you. Like, as some of your priests would say, 'feeling God's presence among the world'"

You frowned as you took a deep breath. "I mean, I'll try. But I'd rather pray to my God than try and find him."

"What makes you think prayer and meditation are different. They are merely two different ways for one to feel the energy around you. Perhaps open your mind to what can be seen, and perhaps, you can see something else." He replied. "So stop being a child, and try it."
------------------------------------------------------------

You were alone, sitting on the top of the roof, watching the sunset. Perhaps it was something silly, but Wong was adamant to try it. You were going to sit there, and try.

You sat cross-legged on the ground and took a deep breath. The air was clean, despite the city's pollution. And the air smelled of flowers.

And you closed your eyes.

The Feeling?:D100 => 90

And you felt it.

The feeling within you. The energy that swirled within your belly, your blood, your mind even. It was something that felt foreign to you, but completely normal.

And then you saw it?

What did you see:

[]The Spirit of the Monkey King: The Monkey looked at you with a smile. "So, you finally took a chance to do something new? Well then, welcome to China… and might I say, you need a tail, can't be me without a tail?"

[]The Angel: The Angel was quietly reading one of his books, as he looked up. "Oh thank god, it's not, Aziraphale and Crowley… Wait, your human. Oh, this is troubling? Are you Jesus?"

[]Nothing: You were awoken by an explosion. What did they do?!

AN: Enjoy.
