The capital of the Aaester Kingdom stood gracefully with its mighty and sturdy walls unlike any other. If one were to gaze from atop the castle in the middle of the capital, and at its highest point, they would be able to see many different aspects of the city. In fact... two individuals were seeing the aspects of the city at this very moment. A young child, no more than twelve stood beside a rather larger and heavy-set man, who was in the midst of eating a plump turkey. Drinking and eating till his heart's content. The Prime Minister continued to feast while a third figure walked towards the young child. The third figure, a white haired man who was well-built, placed his hand upon the child's shoulder, before looking at the city. "My lord... How are you today?" The young child said and did nothing, except stare at the city. He was trying to look at everything... and all the aspects of the city just like what he was taught from his master, the Prime Minister who was secretly corrupting him. Unknown to him, he knew not what was going on in the seemingly beautiful city before him. An underage and starving woman fending off hungry dogs while in the midst of giving birth to a newborn child in a cold and dark alley- life; an old man being publicly executed by having his fingers plucked from his hands and his limbs nailed to a board before having his skin peeled from his muscles... only to burn his muscles and remove the charred remains and repeat the process until he was dead simply for questioning an official why he had to pay such high taxes that he could not feed his family- death; hundreds upon hundreds of tribesmen, women, and children, all naked and bare, being dragged by officials into the town's market to be sold to the cruel nobles who were all practically hungry for new toys to play with- suppression; a group of nobles out and about, enjoying themselves with food, drinks, women, entertainment, and children, all the while ignoring those who are starving and dying at their feet- freedom... and then the legs of a man running as fast as they could carry him, with a crude, and rather alien-like bow in his hands. The running man turned, and pulled the string of the bow before an arrow appeared, and fired a massive glowing shot at the black cloaked man wielding the scythe behind him. It struck him directly in the chest, causing a groan before he crashed into the wall and barked out an order for his partner to go on ahead... to which the the second cloaked figure hopped on all-fours and began to leap from wall-to-wall just like a hungry predator in pursuit, growling as their yellow eyes focused on the young man... until they finally lunged themselves at the man... and pulled him to the ground. Despite the struggle, the battle was over just as quick as it had started; the figure sank their jaws into the back of the neck of the man, snapping his spine and killing him instantly. Walking over towards his comrade who was in the midst of eating their prey, the scythe-wielder picked up the bow while still groaning, before taking out a scroll. Comparing the image of the man on the scroll to the now dead man, he confirmed that the two were the same and looked at the very top of the scroll, which read "Troublesome Tengu Users", before looking down the scroll. Finding the image of the dead man, the scythe-wielder drew a line over the man's name. This was the greatest aspect of all among the Aaester Kingdom... the one that brought the most attention and even required the Jaegars, the Aaester Kingdom's most feared Military Personal and their strongest Tengu Users- -Rebellion! Smiling to himself, the young emperor turned towards the white-haired man, and simply tilted his head before answering his question. "I... am happy today." --- [i]This here... was the true face of both the Capital, and the Aaester Kingdom. It would seem that hope has abandoned this nation and its people, leaving them to die and survive on their own with a corrupt ruler...[/i] [i]...but maybe hope wasn't so cruel?[/i] [i]Within this chaos and madness... were little symbols of hope left by the very first Emperor Oroboronuko; the Tengu. Each and everyone one of them are capable of performing a feat unlike any other... shaping the entire tide of battles in a moment's notice... and capable of changing this mad state of government were all scattered throughout the nation.[/i] [i]Where are they and their users? Or did they even have any users anymore at this point...?[/i] [i]No one truly knows... but perhaps, hope has lead them all to come here to the capital in order to stop the madness, ignite a revolution, and free the people... or maybe they were just brought in just to add further chaos and suffering to it all?[/i] [i]Only time when tell once the Tengu have assembled.[/i]
