Popular Post James XVI Posted August 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) When the white eagle of the North is flying overhead And the browns, reds and golds of autumn lie in the gutter, dead Remember then, the summer birds with wings of fire flaying Come to witness spring's new hope, born of leaves decaying As new life will come from death, love will come at leisure Love of love, love of life and giving without measure Gives in return a wondrous yearn of a promise almost seen Live hand-in-hand and together we'll stand on the threshold of a dream. The citizens gathered in the capitol to watch the forces of Empyrea return from the thousand years war. Millions of old men, women and children gathered in the great Ten-Men square (it was named this because it took ten artisans and masons a hundred years to complete this great feat) to see their heroes march down the center aisle and on to the steps of the great Forbidmen Palace. (It was named thusly because after the great palace was built the first emperor that lived there did not allow any men to live inside except for him. He had thousands of female guards, servants and concubines.) But when the citizens saw the state of their great army they were shocked. Other than the military leaders It looked as if there were only ten men left. (Ironic because of the name of the square they were all standing in.) One old monk was standing in the crowd watching the procession. He thought something was off. Now this monk had been around for a long time for he was already an old man when the great war started. He thought it was unusual that the leaders that came back with the soldiers looked like they had not aged one day. What was their secret? He asked himself. He looked in a bit closer to try to figure it out but instead he saw a dark aura surrounding the two kings leading the group. He noticed that their bodies looked strong but their spirits were weak. Then all of a sudden he hears a voice in his head. “Find the true kings.” It said. The old monk was confused. These were the true kings instituted by the Chaos Gods after the Eternal and Heavenly Magnificent Rozalia passed along the kingdom to them. These two men known simply as James of the southern kingdom and The Royalist of the north were instituted to be the leaders as part of that agreement. They had been top men during the reign of the Great and Charming one with the perfectly oiled body Rozalia. He passed it off as evidence of an early sign of alzheimers. But then he heard it again. “Find the true kings.” It said again. This time the forgetful monk couldn’t deny what he had heard. “Go to the southern dunes, that is where you will find the first.” The voice added. And before this forgetful monk could respond the voice quickly said “Bye,” and went away. So the monk grabbed his staff and cloak and started on his journey to the southern sand dunes to find his first clue. To find the way back. Months passed by and the monk saw his journey nearing its end. He stood on a cold windswept ridge and looked out across the lands below. To the East was the great mountain, its snow capped peak shining in the early morning sun, and beneath him the green plains of The Wei. Far away in the distance he could see a glimmering line on the horizon. “That must be the sea” he thought to himself, though he had never been that far before. He spent a few minutes in silence, buffeted by the chilly gale, wrapped in his thoughts. Then, a loud crack like the breaking of thunder, and then, in a deep, echoing voice. “Do not fear me, monk. Be you blessed with beautiful wives in your twilight days. I have a task for you.” The monk was startled, but reassured by the calming nature of the voice. “What do you wish me to do, Son of Heaven?” “Look towards the Great Peak. Focus your thoughts. Remember your quest. Now, point at the peak.” The monk pointed and from the tip of his finger sparks flew, brighter and faster, more intense with each second that passed, until a blinding light erupted in front of him and the monk remembered no more. * Ever The Royalist, Filip: Regent of the North of The Wei, woke with a start. The room was dimly lit by a grey dawn, but he could already see that the other side of the bed was empty – 'James must already be out on his early morning rounds at the barracks' he thought sleepily. That wasn't what woke him up however, Filip could have sworn he heard a voice in the quiet of the morning. Could it have been James at the barracks? No - it was too far for sound to carry. He sat up and listened intently and heard nothing, not even the birds were singing, yet...perhaps there was something. Now, sleep shaken from him he was more aware of his surroundings, and the echo – faint but persistent, reverberating in his mind. “Return! Return! Return!” He jumped up with a start, now fully awake, and ran for the door to the room, crashed through it and stumbled into the Grand Hall. There he was almost knocked over by Penguin, charging out from the corridor that led to the arboretum. They called to each other, and were surprised to realise they'd witnessed the same event. As they recalled this curious event, they were disturbed by The Regent of The South entering the hall, sweating and out of breath. “What is the matter, James? Did you hear it too?” “Is there a problem at the barracks?” queried Penguin. “I bring important news!” Was James' response. “I was on my way to the barracks when his Excellency, Canter...uh...cantered into the courtyard with a message from the mountains. We must ride there immediately!” Soon enough the cavalry was called, and horses were saddled, and they rode into the west. Shortly they came across a splendid manor house where they came across The Wei's most trusted Imperial Advisor mounting his own horse – pants forgotten (as usual), esteemed buttocks airing themselves. ForgotPants had witnessed the same event, and as soon as he had seen the Palace cavalry arriving he had started to get ready. Again, their number growing, the cavalry moved on further west until they began to reach the foothills. Now they began to notice changes – the air was muggy and thick with the smells of fire, and the sky darkened, save for a blinding white beam of light shining atop the highest peak. They moved on closer and closer to the peak. The air grew thicker until it became like a suffocating fog, filling the lungs and clinging to the skin. They topped the last ridge into the final valley where they met Reece. His Excellency had been standing exactly where Canter had left him, staring dumbfounded at the sight ahead, and it truly was an awesome sight. Hard as it was to see with the harsh blinding light that still shone on the mountaintop, they could see flames rising as high as the tallest trees, with smoke whisked away in a ferocious vortex down onto the lowlands. The sight was strangely hypnotic, but The Flying General was made of sterner stuff. “Come on, we must find out what is going on” “But...it's so pretty” was Reece's reply, however at the crack of Penguin's whip in the air the company was soon brought back to reality, and they continued on the final leg of their journey towards the peak. Arriving at their destination, they quickly realised, and understood all that had happened. Within the beam of light, tumbling down from the Heavens was a mighty stream of paper, rushing and cracking, emulating the sounds of trees in a hurricane. They fell on to the fire and were instantly engulfed in the flames, burning it all into a black ash that was blown down into the valley from a fresh wind sucking up from the north. Filip stared in wonder for a moment, before reaching in and snatching a sheet of paper from the flurry. He turned it over, saw a diplomatic seal, and looked around at the group. They all saw it, and they saw the world they were living in, and they all understood. The paper must go.
