An Invitation to Mr Liu
Green lees of beer that's newly brewed,
A little stove of red clay burns.
As evening comes, the sky's about to snow,
Can you drink one cup with me?

緑 螘 新 醅 酒 ,
红 泥 小 火 炉 。
晚 来 天 欲 雪 ,
能 饮 一 杯 无 。

After years of silence the Emperor invited the Dragon King over for a banquet. To honour their old promises, but also to rekindle their friendship. The two sovereigns and sworn brothers had drifted apart over the years due to their differences, however, years had worn them both and filled their hearts with longing.
The Dragon King had long forgotten about the squabble that had separated the two of them and was eager to respond in agreement. However, he was alone in that excitement. The Emperor had grown suspicious of all over the years, afraid that everyone was out for his throne and his empire. Greed had consumed him. Fearing that a greater power would come along he was looking for something to prepare himself. A power not meant for humans...
Once the Dragon King stepped inside of the palace he was tricked and frozen inside of a lake of quicksilver. Betrayed and enraged the Dragon King tried to fight until he couldn't move his limbs, and his curses didn't reach his old friend anymore. All the while the Emperor watched over his sworn brother drowning, turning his back at the promise of loyalty they had made to each other when they were young. Both cried over the loss over a friendship that was meant to last a lifetime.
With his best friend out of the way the Emperor marched for the Dragon Court, straight for its treasures he knew it held. Besieging the Dragon Court by surprise the Emperor slipped into the chaos towards the Relics he had set his eyes upon. It were the Heavenly relics that bound the heavens together and was the source of power within the Dragon Court. Eager the Emperor reached out to one of them, not expecting the imbalance it would bring.

After rain
The forest is sleek after rain,
Between the pines, the moon startles my heart,
I smile and think of home,
A foreign guest in a foreign land.

A decade has passed since the Emperor stole the relics. A decade since the country has fallen apart and been torn into a war. New kingdoms and states rise up and go as everyone is fighting over the possession of the relics. Rulers are being betrayed, officers backstabbed, all for the greed of power. New weapons are created on a rapid speed, each one deadlier than the predecessor, proving the pure power and the limits that the relics emit and break.
However, with the relics gone from their respective places the heaven is thrown out of balance. Natural disasters plague the people, flood claiming homes and lives, while droughts are causing famine. As the world is crumbling apart wars are still fought, taxing the already waning economy. The Dragon Court has scattered itself across humanity, disguising themselves as part of the crowd, others hiding, while some attempt to bring Heaven together again by gathering the relics.
One of these in hiding is a young dragonling female. Having hid away from the world for a decade she had no intention of turning any attention to the problems of the world. However, she is soon forced to face reality as a human stumbles into her life.
