My story is strange and you will find it hard to believe, my old friend. The panda wrote. But what I will tell you is the truth, as bizarre as it may seem.

I took my son to China, to train him in the martial arts. We journeyed for many years in the wilds of that country, learning and training from the peoples of that land, when we came across a valley of cursed springs. Nearby was a village of warrior women of great martial prowess. These women were plagued by an evil Oni in the shape of a small old man. He would taunt the women daily until the women vowed to train my son in their most deadly arts if we would rid the village of the Oni.

We were able to distract the old man long enough for the village elder-woman, a witch of great prowess, to cast an entrapment spell on the Oni, capturing him.

But the Oni was not so easily defeated. Angry at us for thwarting him, he threw two vials of the cursed spring water at us, one at me and one at my son. I was turned into a panda and my son...

My son was turned into a woman.

Now I know that you have fallen onto hard times, my old friend, and I will help you. But I need one thing from you in return. I will help you restore your dojo to its former glory and will help make life easier on both you and your daughters but in order to do so I need one of your daughters to marry my son. It is a difficult thing I ask of your daughters, but to save their birthright it is a sacrifice I must demanded, for in order to cure our curse I need to return to China with a bride for my son.

Bearskin will be appearing on the Ranma ½ fan fiction page soon.
