Wishes from Mizuchi

Yamnei. The court stood watching the sky. Servers carried drinks to those waiting. Yamnei was bord, bord and irritated. This tradition was pointless. While she did not doubt the court diviners, she doubted any of the public wishes that would be made today would be granted. Most would be so self centered or contradictory or self serving. She could be drilling her troops or reviewing intelligence reports or practicing her sword work, or any of a hundred other tasks. But no, Luke the other members of the court she had to be here waiting for the arrival of a great dragon. She glowered at the useless flotsam of the court, hear to put on a false show of bravery. Then a ripple rolled across the court and all eyes looked to the sky. There it was the burning light of the Dragonfall. Wishes were shouted to the burning light, imortality, wealth, beauty. She looked to the burning trail and calmly spoke “ I wish you to give from yourself that what you take from me!” A small smile crossed her lips. Now that this sham was over she could… “ Gladly General, my friendship, loyalty, and love” a warm smoky voice murmured across the courtyard and all eyes turned just in time to see the look of surprise on the generals face just as a burst of light enveloped her.

Jia. She sat on the porch of the living space watching the sky. She was sipping her tea and watching the clouds in the sky. She had finished her chores a little early today and was taking a break. She was alone for now at her family shrine and to be honest she was **** for a change of some kind. Yes the power granted by the Keystones was great, and the status of a shrine madden protected her from much. But she was bored and curios what was sealed inside the shrine. She would give much to know what was in the shrine and more to have a chance to leave and go on an adventure. As she pondered this she felt a distance in the world and looking up she was shocked to see the burning trail of a Dragonfall. Before better judgement could stop her she cast out a wish. A portal snapped open and as if drawn by some strange **** she strode through.

Taki. She sat among the warriors recognized by the Emperor as the court waited to show there bravely by wishing to the Dragonfall. She looked around and frowned in annoyance. The new emperor sat among several of his concubines shamelessly. He lacked the honor and bearing of his father who she had so respected. Further she could see he was already going to fat the softness of the concubines being far more attractive than the training yard. As she looked up at the cries of the others she wished that the new emperor would find that in himself that was his fathers legacy. She blinked in surprise at seeing the Dragonfall, then gasped in shock as a light enveloped her as she knew her wish had been granted.
