The Sleeping Dragon

Jiang Wei. Zhao Yun. You shall stay in today; it would be for the best. I advice the same to the rest of the City that is unaffected. The streets are more dangerous than usual. This curse has caused many ill effects in its citizenry... a truly cruel one indeed.

[SHU FILTER]

Be wary at all times. Zhou Yu is almost certainly going to try and attack at some point, being afflicted by the curse as he is. The wards will prevent him from coming in, but he may have other plans in place.

Jiang Wei. You shall remain in my rooms today and assist me. My illness feels particularly bad and I shall need to be kept watch on.

[/Private]

It was a fine evening indeed.

I fear I may be taking ill. My body has grown weak; good medicine tastes bitter. I must rest, though I wish I did not have to. Movement has become difficult. Do not fear. I shall grow well again soon, but until that time I shall need to take meals in my room.

Make sure nobody else learns of my condition. It would be dangerous for such knowledge to get out.

........

Jiang Wei, I am going out for a little while. There is something of importance I must attend to. Do not be concerned; I shall not be too long.

The heavens hear speak oddly... I sense...

A celebration of love, hmm? Ah, it is important to show love on every day of the year, but why not use a special day to focus on such? It is an important part of being a human. Love for one's beloved, one's friends, family, allies and people. Yes. To appreciate such things is essential, is it not?

May you fly in the sky like the legendary horse Fei Huang! Success in your endeavours, oh City.

Thus, the New Year has come. A new beginning, a new cycle even... what will the City bring for us? We cannot know, but let us face it with dignity, wisdom and courage. With the strength of nine bulls and two tigers, we shall overcome whatever is directed at us.

This festival looks most enjoyable. We shall do as we would normally do back home for New Years, Jiang Wei. Let us take part and enjoy what is on offer, and what we can provide for ourselves.

Tomorrow, we shall remember those lost to us.
