Letter 9
(Clan Dragon)
My
Children,
The Naga
have invaded our sacred ground, and the traitors who refuse to release the
shackles of the Old Ways flee from our new path. But you, with courage and
dedication, have continued to stand your ground with unswerving loyalty. For
that I salute you. Your Lady has noted your bravery and your devotion.
You will be
rewarded.
There are
those who say we have gone mad. That defending our lands and our lives are a
sign of evil. They whisper behind their hands, saying that you follow a woman
whose eyes are filled with insanity. Yes, I have heard them. And I have watched
them die.
I follow
our Lady's will. Her spirit is filled with the wonders of ten centuries, and the
voice of our kami still murmurs in her ears. Others say we have lost our way.
Their kami fled them a thousand years ago, but ours is still with us. How can we
have lost his path?
Let them
argue and cast blame, it is nothing compared to the mysteries we are about to
discover. The darkness will unfold before us, and we will arise on the far side
of the night. When we do, we will look down on those who scorned us, and we will
have our revenge.
We are the
New Way. We are the light of a brave new future, a future which will crush the
old in an obsidian hand. It is our destiny to find the truths from which the
others cower.
Let the
Naga come. Their day is done, their age is over.
