[INITIALISING RECRUITMENT…]
Even after he left his city alone and entrusted it to it's inhabitants, it was still the bustling trade city he created and protected. The harbor now even bigger was like an ant's nest with numerous merchants and helpers moving around and aboard ships. In the streets you could hear the hustle and bustle of the different shops and foodstalls. With a content sigh he took a sip of his osmanthus wine and let his gaze wander about the busy street. He was still a bit in awe of what humans could do if they wanted to and had the will to bring about what they wanted. Suddenly his head snapped towards the opposite side of his table as a strange man appeared in a chair and with a cup in his hands.
The man put down his cup after taking a sip and bowed slightly. „A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Consultant. I'm here with a proposal for you that requires an individual of your expertise. Ah! Where are my manners you may call me the curator."
„A pleasure to meet you, Mr Curator although it is quite surprising." He could fell a power no less potent than his own emanating from this strange man. „But I have to ask what you want my help with? I am just a consultant of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor after all."
„Hahaha. That may be what you are now but we both know it will be just one of your many roles throughout the history of this city. While it may be true that this role is not what I have need of, what you were before certainly is of use to us." the man answered with a chuckle.
So his hunch was correct. The man knew what or who he really was and with that it answered a few of his questions, but not all. „And what would you have me needed for? For a contract to be elligitable both parties must be informed of it's contents."
„Of course. My proposal is to create a copy of you for the Velvet Throne. The throne is a place where all manner of legends, myths and stories are recorded. Be they telling of heroes, villains or monster it matters not, only that they had an impact on their worlds. I won't lie to you, the responsibilties of your copy would be to oversee a war for a single wish and to enforce it's rules if it is necessary. I'm well aware that you turned your back to war but what we are in need of is an adjucator for the throne. An individual who may be just, can and will enforce the neutrality of this war for it is not designed to endanger the normal people. The people here in this busy city for example, the chefs in the foodstalls, the shopkeepers, the merchant down in the harbor. Those people don't need to be involved in this war game so we need someone like you to assure us they don't get harmed. So what do you say Mr. Consultant? Do we have a deal?" The man slid a contract across the table.
After reading the contract and assuring himself that what the man said was in accordance with the contract he signed it. The man stood up and bowed again. „Then welcome to the Velvet Throne, Vago Mundo – Zhongli" with that the man dissappeared in motes of blue light.
