Order of the Crimson Dragon

[Tabris]

'The Will of the Emperor is Supreme, those who defy his will shall suffer the fate of the damned.'

These words were taken upon the initiation of young men and women into the Crimson Dragon Order, honourbound by these words to carry out the will of the Kusari Emperor and to punish those who did not obey. Eversince the current Emperor took power, the Crimson Dragon Order has been watching, protecting the Emperor from those who would overthrow him that the Kusari Naval Forces and the State Police could not handle, if the KNF was the hand of the Emperor, the Crimson Dragons were the wrist blade hidden in the sleeve above the hand. The order was based upon a Kusari Destroyer, the IKN Amatsu-Mikaboshi, it was an older vessel, but it suited the needs of their order well enough. Standing on the bridge of the Kusari Destroyer was the head of the Order, his name was known only to the Emperor, but to everyone else he was known as Shi. His features hidden beneath the shadow of his red-coloured robes, dim lighting and his hood made it nearly impossible to make out his facial featuers.

As he gazed out at space from his seat in the back of the bridge he smiled very slightly, although the Acrolytes around him could not see. The Destroyer was stationed in New Tokyo at the moment, orbiting the planet at a high altitude. As the robed man gazed out the window at the stars of Sirius he could not help but appreciate the beauty, Kami had blessed the Kusari people when he spared them the Coalition's onslaught and allowed them to settle far from the ancestral lands of Sol.

Now under the guidance of the Emperor, what the Order believes to be Kami's Avatar, they would prevail over the barbarians of Bretonia, the Emperor would see to it...Afterall, it was Kami's will that Kusari win the war. So shall it be.

As he relaxes in his chair, shifting his gaze to stare at a wax candle burning on a pedastal, the red wax very slowly melting under the fire's heat, he raises a pale hand a safe distance above the flame, seemingly caressing it as it burned away the string and melted wax...It's journey would eventually end...But the journey of Kusari shall never end...Not if he had anything to say about it. After all, while the Emperor may be Kami's mortal Avatar, it does not mean their lord was invincible, Kusari needed their Emperor, and they would make sure no harm came to him.

Shi took his hand away from the flame and rested both his hands gently on his chair, he resumed staring seemingly into the abyss of the New Tokyo system, almost as if he could see something the others onboard could not.
