"Son, we have only chosen to abuse our authority for your sake, knowing you have never asked anything of us before." The Jade Emperor sat back on the throne, removed the golden crown from his head and brushed his small fingers through his long dark hair.
A beautiful girl with aquamarine eyes and a matching pair of dragon horns had excitedly stepped forward and bowed in gratitude.
"Thank you, Father. This prince will never forget this favour!"
The Jade Emperor sighed remorsefully, tiredly placing his palm over his forehead. He, the ruler of all godly beings had countless concubines and plenty offspring, but as fate would have it, he was only blessed with two sons. The eldest son was the heir apparent, kind and righteous and filial, yet lacking the backbone and shrewdness which the younger brother possessed.
After numerous years of conflict between the siblings, the younger brother had chosen to leave the Heavens for thousands of years, vanishing without a single trace.
