It may seem uncharacteristic for an entity like Zhaojun to admit limitation, but only the Emperor of the Heavenly City was infallible. So, here for Iupeter's secret eyes only, the truth: Zhaojun fears and does not understand the Dominion. From the Heavenly City she never had call to deal with them, and from her temple shrine gates she saw them only in their passing. There were no doubts levers and ways to their power, they were no doubt governed by the same yearning as everything else in this world, but Iupter had kept them apart from her and to proceed into their den unknowing would be to cast herself at the mercy of the Maiden of Secrets. And such a thing must never be allowed to happen.

No, Zhaojun turns in this moment of crisis to the familiar. To power, to desire and the will to act upon desire, to cats and the girls that love/are them. She will seek out the N'yari and turn them loose upon this pairing. Simplicity itself, and the possibility that she might be captured in turn is so absurd as to scarcely be worth entertaining.

With a gust of the south wind and the turning of the rain she is gone, heading up the mountain.
