Chapter Ten: A New Beginning

Mulan returned home, and the familiar courtyard filled her with warmth and peace.

Her family hugged her tightly, celebrating her safe return.

Grandmother Fa exclaimed excitedly, “What wonderful gifts has Mulan brought back?”

Mulan presented the Emperor’s sword and medallion to her father.

“These are honors given by the Emperor,” she said softly.

Fa Zhou put the items aside and embraced her gently. “The greatest honor is having you back.”

Tears glimmered in Mulan’s eyes—she finally understood what truly mattered.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Li Shang stood outside, looking slightly nervous.

Grandmother Fa whispered excitedly, “Oh my! It’s the handsome captain!”

Mulan smiled gently. “Li Shang, why are you here?”

Li Shang cleared his throat. “Uh… I just wanted to… see you.”

He handed her his helmet—a gesture of respect and affection.

Mulan accepted it, and their eyes met with warmth.

Grandmother Fa shouted, “Well? Come inside for dinner!”

Li Shang blushed and nodded. “If… it’s not too much trouble.”

The family welcomed him inside with joyful smiles.

Mushu boasted proudly, “I told you she was a hero! And I helped the most!”

Mulan looked up at the sky, feeling calm and confident.

She knew that her story was only just beginning.
