Of all my wandering around the Imperial City, I took my worst tumble at Funing Hall. I was only curious about His Majesty's bedchamber. I had barely poked my head in when a surge of Inner Power slammed into me and sent me stumbling back three full paces. I nearly went flat on my back.
What kind of Imperial Master is posted here, to strike so brutally? I could even hear the guards and attendants inside, playing cuju and laughing up a storm. I leaned in for another peek, and that unseen force shoved me again, straight onto my back. I almost smashed into the wall opposite. Whoever's stationed here has a nasty temper.
And right then, a fat yellow dog waddled up beside me, tongue lolling. It took one look at me sprawled on the ground, wagged its tail, and swaggered right through the doors.
Fine. I'll remember this. One of these days I'll get my pride back and turn Funing Hall inside out.
