It's been a while since Chen has visited the Sky Castle. She has been back since her first visit, but it's still a trek and not that frequent absent a tournament or special gathering, and Jessic has never done quite this sort of group greeting before, so this one is new for her as well. 

As a fellow princess and Sunshard holder though, this is something of a joyous workout for her. She's never matched powers with Jessic after all, and even if she's not trying to steal a sunshard or anything, this is a chance to see how it would all go at at least two levels.

First, there's the workout. Chen flashes back and forth through several sword sets. Moves where she summons the wind with her blade and sends Jessic tumbling out of balance or where the dragon princess correct just in time and rips Chen out of the sky with a coiled tail that squeezes her so tightly that it's only the thickness of her skirts keeping her from popping! Moves where she swirls around and ties Jessic into knots with her speed, or where the dragon catches her at just the right moment and uses her own speed against her with a rebound strike so powerful that she ends up crash landing in a lake in a neighboring domain. In some moves, her flowing outfit blinds the dragon and she delivers a decisive strike that sends her to the ground of the sky castle, while in others Chen's skirts get used against her and she winds up flashing her underwear at the whole sky castle as everything else gets pulled over her head before she lands on the castle green to recompose herself with blushing cheeks. 

It is, on the whole entirely enjoyable, both the winning and the losing. There's so much to learn and so many things to feel, and Chen's no foreigner to a few bruises and tired muscles. Done right, they just make the tea and cake taste better later!

But then, there's also the secret sword. Now, it should be said, Chen is outside of her domain and this isn't just her duel, so her particular secret sword won't be at its maximum power here. But even so, as she runs through her sets, her tail rises and the wind blows stronger as the star on her forehead glows. And as her sword crosses over and over with Jessic's scales, lance, and shield, it asks a question of a dragon: What do you want to be? 

This is a different question from Jessic's secret sword. She may well dream of being in an eternal duel against an opponent who strives to be the greatest possible version of themselves. But there is still more to it than that. She is a dragon after all, and dragons are greedy. Greedy enough to dream of always being more, to imagine how she could be more beautiful, more elegant, more wealthy, and more charming. To dream of all the different shapes she could have and the hoards she could hoard. Chen's secret sword is very simple. It will just shift Jessic towards the answer to this question, in whatever ways it can. For those who dream in their heart of being snow leopards and are not already, it can be quite a bit more drastic. But even for a dragon, it will show something of her ideals and some of her scenarios will collapse towards repeating those ideals.

That is Chen's secret sword: The Shape of Your Heart.
