It was unfortunate that he was born covered in scales and regarded by the world as a demon and evil spirit, rejected everywhere and left with no one but his older sister to rely on. More unfortunate still, the place he had finally found to shelter in was attacked by bandits, who killed and burned. His only sister disappeared without a trace. Fortunately, he found companions who had gone through similar hardships, and together they huddled for warmth in an uninhabited valley. Better yet, he met a master who accepted him, a prince who appreciated him, and a young woman who loved him deeply.
But the world is ever changing, and so are the people in it. The number one under heaven cannot hold that title forever, and even a prince can fall into ruin. When all the dust finally settles, what will remain?
Theme: May truth and kindness be passed down through the ages.
