The Death of Hsieh-Xin The air was cool, though the ground around the Huangdi’s manor still shook. He knew the day was coming, the day on which the village of New Jing-Taiyun would fall to this strange Voidal tear. Tears would line the Hou’s face, and drip onto the parchment of the scroll as he would sit in his room. His family, his wife, his two precious children, and his friends had all been sent away to Llyria, to the monks, who would keep them safe. But Xin would not leave this Village. He knew where his stance lied, there were still those in need of protection, and he would not allow his soldiers to fight in front of whatever may come without their huangdi. The Huangdi would write two scrolls, one, a will, given to a relative to relay to the others in secret. another, a poem, to be spread through the next generations of Hou, so that they may remember the time they had here the last cycle of the moon. The moon sets on those who walk under its light The Hou, they walk twords fear, carrying Hou-Shen’s Might and whatever may come through those forsaken doorways would not fail to die to the might of Jade. The Light of night, surrounds the hou who fight The light of day, goes with those who sail and pray and though the end of the village has come to pass the beginning of the Hou-Zi has begun to mass Do not stray from peace! the huangdi would call Stay safe within each others arms, hands, and paws and when those who hunt us wish to show their might remember the might of Hou-Shen, and the strength of our light And now as the Hou walk, under the moon to war Remember this war is but a means to more a means to a peace that will last generations a people, who will stay safe, within Hou-Shens graces. Xin may not be with you for the next cycle of the moon but our people are strong, and so will you be friends Walk calmly, under the watchful light of the moon and perhaps one day, i will meditate with you again. The Huangdi would then leave his belongings in the manor, besides his Monkspade, and his will. he would walk out into battle, and protect the other Hou from the abominations of the void as they would flee. May he be remembered for the peace of his heart, and the strength of his will. He is survived by his wife, Hsieh-Lan, his daughter Hsieh-Xiyue, and his son Hsieh-Tao Jian ~Xiongdi Forever~ [ooc time] It was a honor playing with this community, through all of our hardships and struggles. im still of the beleif we have fostered one of the most friendly and amazing communities on the server. im truly sorry i had to leave during this, but my new job has made me unfit to lead a community in this way. i wish this community more then the best, and i know your new leadership and the community will thrive i love you all. ill be in touch.

The Huangdi of the Jade republic would sit in the temple of Hou-Shen, meditating as he would be approached by a courier. ”Ni Hao, Xiongdi, Why does this one come to Xin today? another teaching?” He would ask, the hou letting out a slight grin as he would breath in the wonderful Cinnamon incense. the Courier would shake his head ”No, Xiongdi. Cannonist Bian Lian have declared us abominations, and have spat on our history” the couriers face distorted, he would hold out a scroll to the still meditating Huangdi. Xin would not open his eyes, letting out a small chuckle ”Xiongdi, when have the Bian Lian not said these things? It is their way to act as though they are superior, in order to account for their lack of fulfillment in life” He would sigh, his form easing as he would open his eyes, and lay his hands on his lap. he would raise a eyebrow, as the courier would say ”It is of Llyria, Xiongdi, and of the Hou, Hou-Xun. they speak atrocites of him, which we know to be false” the hous face would continue to distort, as a look of unease would also cross Xins face. The Huangdi would sigh, looking to him ”Bring Xin a scroll, he must announce something, for the only way our voice is to be heard is for us to speak in a way for all to hear” The Hou would bring Xin a scroll, and Xin would quickly begin to write, before sending the letter to be posted in the far reaches of the realm (the stamp of the Jade Republic) To the Faithful of Hou-Shen We are not ones to fear when we are oppressed. There have been many who seek to hunt us, either for our beliefs or our pelts, yet we have not faltered. The Hou-Zi are a race that is strong and wise, and we shall remain so. We are not ones to abandon our kin, we shall not leave Hou-Xun to be scrutinized for the lies of those who seek to blaspheme his name. We are not ones to be disheartened. though we are few, compared to the number of man, our souls are stronger then theirs, we are a people with the blessings of our ancestors, and though the Bian Lian may seek to dishearten us with their cries of Hate and Suffering, we will stand true to our beliefs, of prosperity and enlightenment. so it shall be, so long as the spirits of joy guide our path. To the Empyrion of Llyria Do not believe the lies of those around you, Xin has only known Xun to be a faithful friend of this one. the Monks of their Order are nothing but loyal and strong folk, who seek to increase their understanding of the world around them. They are a good ally, and this one would regret them leaving your side. Remember that the monks true goal is simply to be at peace with the chi of the world around them. It is not a foul practice, nor is it corruption of anything, rather, it is the matching of ones soul to the world around it, in order to be more attuned to life itself. is this not something to be celebrated, instead of feared? Do not fear what you do not simply understand, instead, embrace it. The snakes in the grass are not so easily pleased, though what you have done for the church may please them now, do not forget the things they have done, or will do, for power. To the Cannonist Church, and its followers The Hou are not your enemy, contrary, for many cycles of the moons the Hou have fought against the very same deamons you have, in many wars Hou have fought along side your people, and even Xin myself has lived in your cities before. Do not judge so easily when you do not understand what we are. Xin has the same soul as you, and wishes that you would see your error in this way. the Monks of the Order, they do not seek to wage war or place themselves above any `god`. they seek only peace with themselves, and with the chi of the world around them. this is no magic, rather, the enhanced abilities of a person who has achieved true balance within themselves, surely something we all seek. Xin is suprised this one is worried of the monks elitism. He has seen the way the Church acts, the way it pretends to be above all others, in order to manipulate its followers with promises of riches in the next life, and glory. The monks do little to pretend they are above anyone, they are stalwart and simply seek to improve themselves, a noble goal, and perhaps one the church should follow more. For the followers of the Cannonist way, Xin does not fault you for the actions of the one priest, Cassian, rather, He hopes that these ones will see the fault he has made, and condemn him for it. Remain Stalwart, Those of the blood of the Almighty Hou-Shen Remain Attentive, those who find refuge in Llyria Become kind, those who claim the name of peace in their religion of Cannonism, yet seek to attack us with their foul words. -Huangdi Hsieh-Xin, of the Jade republic of New Jing-Taiyun
