Giving a final sniff of dismissal, Komainu-Kun round back to the Empress before laying supine at her feet. The shared connection between the two however conveys worry and concern. You must never allow yourself to be alone with that one Empress. Despite what he may say, the blood on his hands is not from altruism. He is a killer. You have seen through his veneer and he hates you for it. Reaching down, the Empress runs a hand along the creatures spine, earning a growling purr in response. Oh Komainu-Kun, how could I ever be alone. You would always protect me. Back arching the Foo-Lion raises his massive stone head and looks the Empress dead in the eye. Even I was unable to protect your Father, Empress. By the celestial lords I will protect you, but I cannot swear that you are far from harm in my presence. I have protected your line since the your people first bonded to the land, but even I have failed before... that much I do remember. Shaking his head, causing the stone fur to ripple, the Foo-Lion stretches out at the Empresses feet. Bonding to your line has also linked me to your life force. There are no more heirs. If you die, then I am unsure what will happen to me. Even now the memories I had from when your father held the mantle have drifted away from me like cherry blossoms on the wind. Once I was timeless. Now I am unsure what I am. But I will always protect you. But you must heed my advice. Do not think you are invincible because I am by your side. Your people may think you are, but we both know that it is not so. Nodding solemnly, the Empress turned back to her attendant, Kaori. This was the first time that she had spoken of such things with her protector and it made her uncomfortable to be confronted by such truths. Yet if it did not come from Komainu-Kun who would it come from? He shared her soul. He knew her better then she knew herself. He was wise to urge caution.
@Lucent: When reviewing my math, you will see that each of my followers as well as my Eidolon have a +1 to will that seems to not be accounted for. This is due to my Natural-Born leader trait.
I would ask that none of you throw anything at Mineko. I'm afraid that I would take it personally.
Well, I stayed up for three hours last night working on my concept for Lucents campaign. Mechanically she is done and so is her small entourage of followers. As a teaser I though I might post on her eidolon... a "celestial" Foo-Lion.. Oh and she also happens to be a Princess.. And the name? Mineko Yamauchi ("Summit Child of the White Mountain Peaks") Yep.. Imperial Princess of a mountain dwelling Dwarf Dynasty from the Wall of Heaven. |
