[ WP ] You were born with a large birthmark in the shape of a dragon . However , this is just a coincidence ; there is absolutely nothing magical about it , and you 're getting really tired of explaining this .

 `` Master.'' The monk bowed low. 
 
 I sighed. `` For the last time, I'm not the reincarnation of Tian Long. I am not a long dead kung-fu master. I ca n't do magic. Why wo n't you assholes just leave me alone?'' 
 
 He smiled politely, but in that slightly superior way that let me know that he did n't believe a word I'd said. 
 
 Bloody monks. They'd been on my case since that fateful afternoon when, aged five, my mother had let my play topless in the park fountain. A monk had tried to give her a copy of the Bhagavad Gita and seen the large birthmark on my chest. 
 
 A dragon? It looked more like a donkey. Frankly, I had been pretty ashamed of it ever since Winona Jane had burst out laughing while we were making out in the empty History classroom. I still hated that bitch. 
 
 `` Master Xi,'' the monk said. This one was a persistant devil. `` Danger is coming. You must be prepared.'' 
 
 `` Listen, buddy,'' I said, grabbing the collar of his robe and shaking his scrawny frame. `` The only danger I'm in is a prison sentance after I wring your neck.'' 
 
 He seemed unphased. `` Very good, master, but the great wizard Huan Li has come to America to hunt you. For the prophecy states...'' 
 
 `` Screw the damn prophecy!,'' I yelled, but my voice was drowned out by screams from behind me. 
 
 A man was floating down from the sky into the middle of the shopping mall. Fire covered his hands. Lightning crackled from his hair. 
 
 He looked straight at me, and spoke in a booming voice that echoed around the mall. `` Tian Long. I am Huan Li. Let us fight.''
