Reflections: A New Take On a Classic Story

Hey there, B here! Today I've got a new take on a classic tale for you. Who doesn't love Mulan, the story of a girl who joins the army in her father's place and ends up saving China?! And who can forget that heart-wrenching scene when Shang finds out that Ping is actually Mulan because of an injury?

Well, what if that Mulan never got injured? Suppose that Shang saved her from the wicked slash of Shan Yu's sword. That's what you'll get when you start...

When Captain Shang is mortally wounded by Shan Yu in battle, Mulan must travel to the Underworld, Diyu, in order to save him from certain death. But King Yama, the ruler of Diyu, is not willing to give Shang up easily. With the help of Shang's great lion guardian ShiShi, Mulan must traverse Diyu to find Shang's spirit, face harrowing obstacles, and leave by sunrise--or become King Yama's prisoner forever. Moreover, Mulan is still disguised as the soldier called Ping, wrestling with the decision to reveal her true identity to her closest friend. Will Mulan be able to save Shang before it's too late? Will he ever be able to trust her again? Or will she lose him--and be lost in the Underworld--forever?

Give it a try, and tell me what you think! Good luck and stay classy, Newton Falls!
