He remembered well, what he had promissed Shedis. He did think it through. The more he thought about it the closer he was to agreeing. Yes, Master Fu was hidding something. He also didn't want to tell them when will they be fighting and who will be their oponent. But... What she said... "Would you rather be the one, who can do nothing, but hide and wait for the nightmare to end, wait for someone else to save him, or the one who fights, who has a choice and power to stop the nightmare?" Her words echoed in his head. Once the battle comes he will be the victim or the hero. And he hated being a victim. He still wasn't sure, thow. Was he ready to be responsible for other people's lives? Then one thought struck him. Eun Chae. If he will be the victim who will save her? He is the only one who really cares about her. Her new family... He didn't think that there could be anybody who cared about her as much as he did. He could be wrong, but he doubt it. Finally he decided to agree, to join Master Fu. And once he decided he didn't hesitate any longer.

Three days after the proposal, Lee Mon sneaked to his house passing all security. He went in through the window and went to the living room. The door were closed and the voices came from behind it.
'What were you thinking!?' that was definetly Master. He was angry. 'Do you know no responsibility!? That was stupid! How can you act so thoughtless!?'
'What!? What was so wrong about it!? I TRUST him! I do! Why do you care, anyway!? I didn't reveal any of your secrets or anybody else's!' Shedis shouted back, fury burning in her voice.
'Now that he knows that you are The Pink Mantis he can easilly connect The Green Mantis with your sister! Did you think even for a second?'
'He won't be sure! He can ask her or me, but we'll say that he is wrong. You know how good we are at acting!' She said, a cold tone fighting with anger. At that moment Lee Mon decided to enter. He knocked.

'Come in' In Master's voice there was no anger from before. The thief opened the door and walked in. He saw suprise on Shedis's face, on which fury slowly faded. Master Fu on the other hand acted as if he was waiting for him.
'What brings you here?' he asked.
'I decided that I'll join you.' Shedis looked at him with thankfull expression. Lee Mon smiled at her and looked at Master once again. Old man nod.
'What made you change your mind?'
'I had my reasons.'
'I understand. But I'd like to know what you are fighting for.'
'Why? Because you want to know if you can trust me?'
Master Fu only looked at him. Lee Mon smirked.
'I don't know if I can trust you either. Let's make a deal. I'll tell you what helped me make that decision as soon as you tell me why you don't want to tell anybody when, where and who we will be fighting. What do you say?'
'Lee Mon...' Shedis looked at him suprised and kind of... Amazed.
'I agree.' Master looked him in the eyes.
'It makes me happy.' Lee Mon looked around. 'So? What now?'
'Now it's time for you to get your miraculous!' Master Fu shouted with sudden enthusiasm.

Lee Mon looked around. The four of them stood in the middle of a round room. Actually it had a shape of a ball cut in half. It had no windows. Near them stood a big, wooden chest with three golden circles at the top. The floor was decorated in butterfly shapes and the cope was dark. Suddenly it opened revealing a big, round window with a little square hole in the middle. The future hero looked at Master Fu, who was holding a small remote.
'This is the old lair of a terrible villain. He had a Miraculous as well. But instead of helping others he used it for his own, selfish goals.'
'Hawk Moth.' Lee Mon said.
'Yes. Actually, he was not evil. He was sad. Angry. He was in sorrow and in pain. He wanted to bring back the one who he lost. But in sadness he lost his way and has gone crazy. Do not let something like that happen to you.' Not waiting for any response Master Fu walked towards the chest with Atria and Shedis following him closely. The three of them put their wrists on the golden circles. Then Master Fu opened it and called Lee Mon with a slight move of hand.
'Here are all Miraculuses that don't have their owners yet.'
Lee Mon looked inside. The chest was tall, but it looked like it is only 3 inches deep. And there were no miraculouses. There were places for them, but no small objects. He could see where the earrings in the shape of wings layed, where glasses were supposed to be and a place for some kind of a ring. But all those places were empty. He was about to ask Master about it, when Atria and Shedis took the top away. Under it was annother shelf. With annother empty places. On the third level there was a watch with wolves face and a hairpin with a claws, but this and the next shelf (full of miraculouses) were taken away as well. While girls revealed next shelves he could finally see how many miraculouses there were. Finally on the bottom he saw a circle with a yin yang mark for two miraculouses in the middle and five other places around it. There were about ten more around. Master Fu took one of them out and the two girls put all shelves back on their places.
'Some time ago' Master begun 'I kept them hidden in an old gramophone. But once the eldest Miraculous was found I had to find sometging bigger. That miraculous's power is to make new Miraculouses. Since then his owner makes new ones to be ready for the fight that is to come.'
'It's power?' Lee Mon asked.
'You'll know everything soon. This is your Miraculous.' Master Fu handed him a small object. It was an earring with a black claw. Lee Mon just put it in his ear, and took out an old, metal circle that stayed in his ear untill then. At this moment something weird appeared in front of him. It happened so suddenly that he jumped and took two steps back. It was something like an animal. A tiger. It was orange and had black lines on its back, paws and tail. It's belly and part of his face was white. It was flying in mid air and looking at him with its black eyes.
'Hello!' the creature said.
'W-what are you?' Lee Mon asked still suprised. The creature looked at Master Fu angrily.
'You didn't tell him anything, did you? Every time the same thing! Of course, I am the one who has to talk. You three, get out!' it shouted at Master and the girls. They just looked at each other and went to the elevator.
'Much better' The creature said when they left. 'Now, where do we start? Ah, yes. I am Andy. I am a kwami. A little creature who gives you power to do incredible things!'
'Isn't it the Miraculous that gives power?'
'What!? No! You see, Miraculouses are objects used only to connect us to this world. We connect through Miraculouses and their holders, so we give powers to people who wear those objects. Anything can be a miraculous. Even a chair. The thing is, it is extremly uncomfortable to carry it with you all the time. Clothes are not the best either. People change them every day.' Here Andy looked at Lee Mon with critism on his face. 'Well, most of them. That is why we don't use those as miraculouses. But things as earrings, rings, neckleaces... Perfect!'
'What about powers?' Lee Mon asked.
'I'll get to it. We give powers and abilities. Abilities are pretty normal: you are faster, stronger, jumppier...'
'That is not a real word, you know.'
'So what?'
'Nothing.'
'That's what I thought. Where was I? Oh! Powers. Every hero has one power. Once you use it you have five minutes to hide before you'll get back to your normal looks. After that you have to feed me. Using the power is really tiering for me.'
'And... What do you eat?' Lee Mon asked.
'Chocolate... It is so delicious!'
'If there are so many heroes Paris will soon run out of chocolate.'
'No. Only I eat chocolate. Every kwami has their own food. But that is not important.'
'What abilities and power do you give?'
'You will be really fast and strong - like a tiger. You will be able to see in the dark and move super quietly. You'll jump high and far. Your reflexes, hearing and also smell will be stronger. Your power is called "Crack". You have to shout to use it.'
'Crack?' Lee Mon smirked.
'Hey, don't laugh! I didn't name it. Besides, you'll be the one to shout "Crack!" in the middle of the battle. Anyway, let's get back to your power.'
'Crack.'
'Oh just give it up alredy!' Andy shouted angrily. 'You all laugh at that name!'
'We all?'
'All holders of the tiger Miraculous.'
'So what does it do?'
'It is the power of light. You can blind someone, or create a tiny sun, or make a shield of light.'
'Okay... But why Crack?'
'You can ask the first tiger miraculous holder once you die. And if you won't stop laughing at the name you'll be able to chat with him really soon.' Andy said in a dangerous tone, so Lee Mon gave it up.
'Listen, buddy. You are a worrior of light. You don't run around killing everybody who makes you angry and dueling with everyone you meet. You protect and lead. You fight when necesary. You must let your heart lead you, not your head. You must use your head to do, what your heart tells you to do.'
'Okay?' Lee Mon wasn't sure why Andy told him this, but he didn't ask. 'How will I be fighting?'
'What?'
'All the heroes I've heard about have some weapons. What will I...'
'You have a sword' the Kwami interupted. 'You have a sword and big, hidden claws. Don't worry, you'll know how to use them.'
'Okay. How do I change?'
'Woah! Not so fast! You must know, that we kwamis hate transformations. It just feels terrible. But if you must... Enlighten me.' Andy looked kind of down.
'Why do you hate it?' Lee Mon said after some time of silence.
'It's just exhausting. We give our energy and strenth to our holders. Actually Miraculouses are like prisons. They make us serve all people who get their hands on those tiny objects. Miraclouses are our prisons and our tyrans, but also our homes. Without miraculouses nobody would care if we exist or not. Our life would be meaningless.'
'Why are you telling me this?'
'You'll need to know it. Other Kwamis are not so serious about their heroes, but in my opinion they make a big misstake. You see, we have to be a team. To be a team we must understand each other. And for that you need to know these things. I talked with Nooroo.'
'Nooroo?'
'The butterfly Kwami. Hawk Moth didn't understand what Nooroo feels every time he made a villain. That is why nothing stopped him from becoming evil.'
Lee Mon nooded.
'Now that I think about it I don't have to transform today. I'll think about my Superhero-Nick-Name.'
'Usually people just name you guys'
'But I'll make them call me by my own nickname.'
'I just like your way of looking at this kind of things.' Andy giggled.

The day seemed to last forever. Shedis showed Lee Mon his new room, so he went to his biggest hideouts to bring his stuff. Master was happy to find his granddaughters cloack among them. None of the girls commented it. When Lee Mon finished it was alredy late. He went to the balcony and stared at the view. The city lights seemed to be reflections of the stars. The Eiffle tower shined in the distance. Sometimes a car disturbed the silence and stillness. Lee Mon sighed. Paris looked so beautifull from up here. Much better than from the streets, where all thiefs fought for their living. Much better than from the spots where homeless people slept. Much better than from the insiede.
He heard quiet footsteps and then door slam. Seconds later Atria stood beside him.
'It's beautifull, isn't it?' she said quietly, but it sounded loud in the still air.
'Yeah. It is.' the boy agreed and looked at her. Atria lowered her gaze and blushed a bit under his piercing stare.
'Why did you do it?' she asked finally rising her head.
'Why not?'
'You were so against it.'
Lee Mon looked at his hands thinking about an answer.
'There is someone I care about. I have to be able to protect her once the fight comes. No one else will.'
The silence fell for a fiew minutes. Both teenagers were lost in their own thoughts.
'Who is she?' Atria finally decided to break it.
'A girl for whom I care most in the world, but I haven't seen her for a fiew years now.'
'What if she left paris?' she asked rising her head to meet his eyes.
'Then I will at least help others make this world safe. For her.'
'You must really love her.'
'I...' Lee Mon was about to answer when suddenly they both felt someones arms around their necks in some kind of a group hug.
'What are you talking about?' Shedis asked curiously.
'Nothing. I was just about to leave. We should all go to sleep.' Atria said and took her sisters hand leading her out.
'Good night' Shedis said.
'Good night.'
