Chapter XLVI – Day 630 – The Black Dragon Seethes

To Whom It May Concern,

I have appointed Champion Michael to act as one of my representatives as Ruler of the East. This letter is proof of his credentials. For I go to climb a tower and claim the prize at the top. While the calamity may have set me back slightly, I look forward to speaking to the Divine Empress in person once more. She enjoyed my last gift. I look forward to giving her another.

The Astrologer, Master of Meta-Magic

Ruler of the East

Sword of the Stars

First Seat on the Council of United City States

My Envoy was kow-towing in front of me after passing me the letter. The sheer disrespect the gall of that man. He had not even bothered to face me himself and take responsibility and now he was sending proxies to deal with me.

Sending a letter. I took a deep breath and calmed myself. It would not do to become unbalanced as I slowly the last piece of foreign flesh very carefully from my body. I had finally discovered it after years and years of hard work. Soon I would be whole again and completely purified of the injustice that the Astrologer had done to me.

He was going to give me a new gift, then he best come prepared. For I was taking no chances this time. My skills were complete. Each one another beacon of power to enhance my Dragon’s Talon Kung-fu. I had practiced each of them against various level 5 roaming bosses to increase their might and to bring my Kung-fu to the next stage.

I focused my mind. My Envoy had dispatched the Divine Children across the boarder in hopes of drawing out a distraction. The link that had been placed in them from birth began to resonate as I carefully adjusted my energy.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. It was time to see what was stalling my Envoy so. Several of my Divine Children were already dead. I looked at the man standing across from me. “Another dog comes before me.”

I cut the connection. There was no Astrologer. There was no other people with a piece of divinity I needed to worry myself over. The Heavens did not favor just anyone.

“Hello my little dragon. Are you having fun?” I asked.

“Yes, mama. But...” I kneeled down in front of him. “...I was hoping for a brother or sister. Inquisitor is okay, but it gets boring sometimes. I practice my Kung-fu and lessons...”

He was getting to that age. I nodded. He needed proper socialization and learning how to motivate people. “Inquisitor what schools are there?” I asked. I didn’t hear a reply and I turned to look at her and her face was a bit confused.

“Divine Empress, there are no schools. All children have been handed over to the Master Fleshcrafter.” I frowned slightly at that.

“All of them?” I asked.

“Yes. You commanded that the children be given to him after one ran in front of you.” Oh yes. I had forgotten about that. To step in front of this Divine Empress was a grave insult. That was why I had them all handed over to the Master Fleshcrafter along with their parents. It would not do to have their laughter and chaos instead of their screams.

I smiled and gave Qi Ji Long a hug. I was the Divine Empress, I would find him some playmates. “Well, we will just have to find you some playmates.” I looked back at my Inquisitor.

“Divine Empress, there are no children, even I cannot make them appear like a cabbage from the store,” she said.

“The Master Fleshcrafter should have some in stock. Find ones that are suitable for Qi Ji Long,” I commanded slightly annoyed. I had to think of everything myself.

“Of course your Divine Empress. I will depart immediately to make the arrangements.”

“See Qi Ji Long, your mother handled everything,” I said with a smile.

“Thanks mama. That way I can really train my Kung-fu. Woosh. Swoosh!” I smiled as he went through a kata. I quickly corrected several of his stances. My son and the inheritor of my legacy of Kung-fu. That made me smile as everything was finally coming together in this world. I just had one last person to kill and then my heart would finally be at peace.
