This was requested by NickGallen1998 as a one-shot but decided to turn it into a short side story instead.

It was a sunny afternoon in the Valley of Peace. The sunlight was shining through the windows of th Jade Palace as a strong scent of seasoned vegetables filled the air of the Kitchen where a certain new addition to the Jade Palace was cooking Chow mein for lunch.

This newest addition was a tall and muscular white wolf with patches of grey fur. Who was dressed in a red long-sleeve shirt with golden ribbons on it and blue pants? This was Asher a Polar Wolf who recently came to the Jade Palace four months ago.

"Asher I need you to come with me," Master Shifu said waving at Asher from the kitchen.

"Coming Master Shifu," Asher said with a bow before turning back to the stove putting it on low, and walking out to the Kitchen to see what Master Shifu wanted to talk to him about.

Asher walked out of the kitchen to see what Master Shifu wanted to talk to him about this afternoon.

"You wanted to see me, Master Shifu?" Asher asked with a bow.

"I need you to head out towards The Frost Forest and locate Tigress since she still hasn't returned from her mission," Master Shifu replied.

"I noticed that she has been gone longer than it should have taken her to capture the female snow leopard bandits but why have you chosen me instead of a more experienced member?" He asked looking at the small red panda who was his Kung Fu master curious but deep down he was worried about the stoic female tiger.

"You have more experience with the cold being a member of the Arctic wolf species and you can track her with your nose," Master Shifu explained.

"I understand Master leave it to me Tigress will be found and brought back safely, " Asher replied with a bow.

"I trust that you will get ready to set off as soon as you finish your lunch," Master Shifu stated.

Asher bowed and hurriedly headed off to eat his lunch before he headed off on his misssion to find Tigeress the stoic Tiger he come to start developing feelings for seven months since his arrival.

'I hope you are doing okay out there Tigress. I will find you no matter what even if you don't like others helping you when needed.' Asher thought eating his lunch eyes full of determination before heading to the bunkers to get any emergency supplies he might need.

I hope you enjoy the first chapter of this side story I decided to make based on this one-shot request of mine.
