The Empire Long United
Prologue Shu's new champions: Descendants of heroes
Two swords struck, sending a shower of sparks through the air. A young man and woman were fighting. 'Give it up Zima Hui, you can't beat me!' The woman said. 'You wish that were true Zima Xue. You know that I inherited father's strength.' Zima Hui taunted. 'Well then, if you inherited father's strength, I inherited mother's brains!' Zima Xue said, lashing out with her foot and catching Zima Hui off guard. She held her sword at his throat. 'I win brother.' Zima Hui held his hands up. 'OK you win!' Zima Xue sheathed her sword and pulled her long brown hair out of its ponytail. 'That's my ten wins to your six. And you say YOU'RE the better warrior?' Someone walked up to the two. 'You both know that neither of you stands a chance against me.' Zima Hui looked up to see his cousin Zima Qi. 'Not even both of you together can beat me.' Zima Qi's red eyes flashed as he lifted his hammer. 'Ancestor Shi's swords are strong but they can't stand up to my weapon Geomancer.' Zima Hui jumped up. 'Care to test that theory?' He said. 'In case you haven't noticed brother, you just got beaten.' Zima Xue said. 'Besides, we have to get to the palace. The new Prime Minister is being sworn in.' A new voice said. Zima Qi spun around and blocked with Geomancer. As he did, a sword came down and impacted. 'Still trying to sneak up on me Zhen Gong?' Zhen Gong sheathed her sword and grinned. 'I'll get you sooner or later Zima Qi. No one warrior is perfect.' She said. 'Like you said though, we have to get to the palace.' Zima Xue said, sheathing her sword. 'Let's go!'
He walked up the platform and kneeled to the emperor. He wore robes that spoke of his high position, and his black hair had grey streaks in it. 'Ji Qian, you are now the Prime Minister of the dynasty of Shu-Han.' The Emperor said. 'My sovereign Liu Fan, I shall do what I must to serve you loyally.' Ji Qian said. 'I don't like him. There's something I just don't trust.' Zima Hui said. 'You don't trust anyone you don't know.' Zima Xue said. Ji Qian descended and walked among the crowd of attendees. As he walked by, Zima Qi noticed a glint in his eyes. It was only for a moment, but Zima Qi knew what that glint was. 'He has the look of a traitor in his eyes.' Zima Qi thought. As the feast began, someone came up behind Zima Hui. 'I'll take it your Zima Hui?' Zima Hui turned around. 'And who might you be?' He asked. 'I am Xiahou Mei. I'm a new recruit and descent from Xiahou Shang of Chen.' She said. Zima Hui looked her over. He was absolutely captivated by her. 'I understand you are the descendant of Zima Shi?' She asked. 'I am. I am trying, however, to prove myself greater then him.' Xiahou Mei sat down. 'That will be hard to do in a time of peace.' She said. 'Got yourself a girlfriend Zima Hui?' Someone said. 'Shut up Huan Jian. She's a new recruit.' Zima Hui said. 'I think Huan Jian is right. You two look good together.' A third said. 'You two Son Kai?' Zima Hui said. Son Kai laughed and handed Zima Hui some wine. 'Drink up! It's a time for celebration!' He said. Zima Hui drank his wine, the feeling that some thing was happening not leaving him.
Ji Qian walked into the hidden room in his home. There was a sword on a stand. 'I have begun our mission. All that remains is to secure the loyalty of those your dark powers have reached.' He said. He heard a voice in his head, it's deep voice echoing through hid mind. 'I desire blood. It has been centuries since I have tasted blood heavy with fear. I must kill once more.' Ji Qian nodded. 'Yes my lord! Soon, our plans shall be complete and you shall taste mortal flesh once more!'
I've used this prologue to just introduce the characters and start the storyline off. The next chapter will be better (And longer to). Until that time, R&R
