Synopsis for "Dragon Vs. Phoenix"

Centuries ago, Yu-Ti, the August Personage in Jade and master of the mystical city of K'un Lun, had recurring dreams of a bird of fire and a red-haired young woman who would possess and subdue it. The sacred pool of Bo-Ling revealed to him that the bird of fire was the Phoenix Force, soaring through the cosmos en route to Earth. Lei Kung the Thunderer had no red-haired women among his trainees, nor could he recall seeing one in the city.

Yu-Ti's recurring dreams became clearer, and in one particularly vivid moment he witnessed the girl (now wearing the mark of Shou Lao, which showed her to be the Iron Fist) releasing a Dragon spirit which merged with the Phoenix, giving her control over both forces. Driven to action, Yu-Ti went into the city. There he found a red-haired young woman, the product of her mother's dalliance with an outsider. The girl would not speak to him. Her name, Fongji, translated to "Firebird."

Yu-Ti took the girl away from her family and told Lei Kung to train her as the next Iron Fist.

In the present day, Yu-Ti has surprised the new Thunderer with this account of a previously-unknown Iron Fist. He says that they must prepare Daniel Rand, the current Iron Fist, for the responsibility he is about to take on.
