The God-king replied in his infinite wisdom, drawn from beyond the reaches of mortal men.

"Indeed, the Asian Union is not what it ought to be. The Union was ordained in heaven to be a holy army, the vehicle of perpetual warfare, of spilt blood which is a sweet offering before the gods.

But alas, it has too many nations who are lovers of peace and not war, and continue to blaspheme holiness by minimizing strife. But, there are those among the nations who practice warfare, and those who seek truth and offer to join me in battle. So, the Union is not a lost cause. They have made mistakes, but it is right that one such as me be patient with those such as they.

Now, you seem to be a man with some wisdom. Surely, if you stood among the Asian Union, you would reason with your species? Why doesn't thou join the Union? Enter the Union, and be an advocate for my ways! Now, I know that religiosity is looked down upon in your nation, but you are clearly one of mine in spirit. Hmm... it would be wise of you to insitute the worship of myself as your state religion."

Truly the God-King is most wise Replied Shing.

At one time, when the Union was but a mere child the Eastern Empire looked upon it with sure hope that it could be a vessel for what you speak of. However, there is one small problem, a sickness which has the Union by it's throat and until purged it will continue to keep the Union from it's glory. This sickness I speak of is Catholicism and surely your holiness has seen it.

Norightsia and the Assassination Army are nations we held with great honor until their conversation to Catholicism. Though their power is still one to speak of highly, they are forced to bow like dogs with their tails between their legs because of the teachings of God which prizes love and peace above all other emotions. That is why the Eastern Empire did not enter because Shoa Conn, the man you have made God, saw this sickness and new that it would not easily be purged. It is the one reason why the Eastern Empire has stood against them and will continue to stand against them to this day.


It was at this moment Shing came to the conclusions that he would divulge to the God-King is most guarded secret. Though he still did not view this man who sat before him as a God, he felt that if he were wrong and there was more to him then this truly wasn't a secret between them.

You are right I am an advocate of your ways as was my father and his father before him. They were both great me who from the ashes to war and destruction built a great Empire surrounded by the idealism's of war and death for the satisfaction of our own personal desires of glory and conquest. All you see around you are what they fought and worked to build. It is with your grace that they are now Gods, titles of which I feel they more than earned while they spent their life here in this realm of mortals. Yes, your holiness I am Shing, Son of Shoa and grandson of Shi...I am child of the Conn family which makes me not only the elected leader of the Eastern Empire but its rightful reign!

So you see your holiness, it is in my blood to oppose joining the Union until the sickness is purged. However, I am not a man without honor and truly you have bestowed that upon my house and for that I am forever grateful. To know that my Grandfather and Father sit in your kingdom as Gods is beyond words and it is for that reason that I will allow your religion within my Nation. You are of course right when you say we are of the same spirit and I cannot deny my people a spiritual experience of which emphasizes their own ideology.

However with that I must ask something of you your holiness. I wish to make no ill blood between us, however until I can defeat Catholicism here in Asia I will still have to oppose the Union and in return your nation should it continue to ally itself with the Union. Because of that I request that should I have to stand against the Union, the Greater Sakha stand beside me and not the Union. Should war come and the Union be my enemy I can think of no greater ally to have but you and together I am positive that we can conquer them all and submit them to the true God, you.....

The Most Sacred God-king's face showed no discernable reaction to Shing's revelation. Whether he merely hid surprise well, or if he could truely see what was, Shing could not tell. After Shing has finished speaking, the Divine One replied to him, in the manner of the an enlightened one sharing wisdom out of love,

"Truely, Sovereign, you are wise to hide your secret, and equally so to confess it to me. For the others would fear and hate you should they learn this truth, but I will only offer you my blessings, and the assurance that your forefathers look upon you with joy. For you are a worthy son of the deities whose line you continue. The blessed decision to sanction my rites in your land is another example of wisdom beyond your years. It is my understanding that this is currently the only faith in your nation. Surely then, many will come to his faith. Myself, along with your blessed father and grandfather will together be glorified.

As for the Asian Union. You are right. There is a cancer and this cancer is dangerous. Catholicism, though, is but one symptom of it. Other nations are infected also, though they show other symptoms. But the wise Doctor is the one who recognizes different symptoms of one sickness, and seeks the best cure. It has been given to me to see things that mortals do not, and I believe that this sickness is waning. But it is not the time to speak of such things.

For your request, should the Eastern Empire war against the Union, I would be most glad to fight beside you, if those in the Union show themselves irredeemably sick. However, I still feel that nations such as Norightsia could be, and will be cured in time. Let us hope then that they see health before the war comes. If not, then they will perish with the ill."

Shing was pleased at how the talks with the God-King were going. They had already finished the meal long ago and now it was simply them left talking. Shing wasn't sure what would come of his nation now that they'd be influenced by this new religion but he wasn't his father, he would not sit and fear the God-King nor his religion. It was a good move on his part, the God-King would receive new patrons and Shing would be put in his good favor.

Truly your holiness is the only true God within this world which we are bound to until death. You are right, this is not the time to speak of such things as war with the Union to the sickness which infects it.

No, tonight is a not of celebration for tomorrow the Eastern Empire will be born anew. Please of great God-King, allow my people to entertain you. Let us go to the grand Arena where men fight to the death to gain their freedom from me, where the drinks flow like the blood of our enemy on the battle field and where there is an unlimited supply of pleasures of the Flesh.

An tomorrow, from the steps of Sto-Vo-Kor herself I shall announce to my people the coming of the new era, the one where you and your servants of Gods smile down upon us. Surely you will grace my people by standing there with me, the embrace my people for by then end of tomorrow they will be yours as well...


OOC: I'll make the announcement in the EE news thread, probalby tomorrow Real Time. As for this, that's really all I wanted to accomplish :lol: so we're done here unless there's anything you wish to add (other than the God-King's reply). Oh and i've been thinking about another RP which includes RD, I'll PM you later about it.

"I would gladly stand with you before your people, when you announce the new era."

OOC:

That's all here if you're done. I have another RP waiting for the God-king, so after the announcement, Norightsia can get on with that...

As for the thing with RD, look forward to seeing what it is.

Should war come between the AU and the Eastern Empire, I'm actually not sure what I'd do. I now have two conflicting commitments, and I'm not sure which I'll honor. I guess it will be a surprise.
