Darkness for those who deserve it

[Tai Lung's POV]

I am not a good person. And I am not a hero.

I have trained and dedicated twenty years of my life, trying to be a hero, trying to be the saviour of the world everyone admired. Yet I failed spectacularly in the end.

That experience told me that I could never be someone I was not.

I am not a hero.

Never was, and never will be.

So does that make me a bad person? Is my failure to be the hero, proof that I was a villain?

No. I am not the villain either.

Maybe I was meant to be, but I was not.

Never was, and never will be.

So what am I? If I was not the hero or the villain, what am I?

You will only understand who I really am when you realize the world is not only black and white or good and bad.

I am Tai Lung.

You might claim that that didn't really mean anything. It was too broad and narrow at the same time. What does it even mean?

It does not define anything.

Which is exactly the point. I am not defined by anything other than myself. I do not have any definition to chain me down to a single meaning or purpose.

I am free.

I am everything you behold.

I am Tai Lung.

....

So as I floated above the army camp of the Tibetan Empire and made the decision to erase them from the world, I did not feel remorse.

I was about to rob the world and its people of their lover, brother, husband, friend and maybe even their son.

Yet I was not burdened by hesitance.

The invisible force slammed onto the earth and crushed the Tibetan army. Everything was flattened in an instant.

The soldiers had trained all their lives, hoping to protect themselves and the people they love. But in front of my overwhelming strength, they did not have time to even fight back.

They did not have the privilege to fight for their lives.

In the end, what was the difference between themselves and the civilians who had never trained or experienced hardship in their life?

Because they died just as helpless.

The catastrophic impact left a deep handprint on the earth. It was more than a kilometre wide and many times longer.

Then it was followed by a deafening sound that shook the whole world.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!*

I remained in the sky as I watched the shockwave spread through the surroundings like a nuclear bomb dropped on the ocean. Mountains crumbled and nature was literally rearranged.

I watched until everything settled down and the world stilled.

Not happy with my work yet not ashamed.

Then I left without a single word.

This was the darkness Oogway saw.
