Autumn, Nineteenth Year of the Xin Zhuo Emperor
It was an overcast, foggy day when Morha returned to the Ba Valley.
Sagely, proudly, the purple dragon returned to the White Lion City, wearing the silver jewelry of the Queen of the land.
Hong Jue was there waiting for her.
Magistrate Liu had passed the message of surrender to the Magi, and Morha's supposed advisor had agreed to meet the queen in private at the small riverside settlement. Hong's personal guards now hovered in the hills and pavilions nearby, keeping an idle watch on the mušḫuššu they worshiped and the true leader they followed, but Morha was indeed allowed some privacy.
Now the dragon queen bowed to the human.
“I give up.” Morha stated simply. “I can't hope to beat you without hurting innocent people. Promise me you won’t harm my followers, and I will obey you.”
Hong Jue smiled as he stroked his beard.
“Where is your advisor Scholar Kong?”
“He wanted me to keep fighting, even tried to get me to ally with Governor Huang. When I wouldn't give in, he abandoned me. All my supposed friends have abandoned me.” The purple dragon looked to the ground. “I am all alone.”
“Why did you come back?”
Morha sighed.
“A sha told me once that freedom means little without safety and shelter and food. I understand now.” The mušḫuššu shook her head.
“I'm sick of fighting, sick of running. I have nowhere to go. I just want a place to rest, to just live my life. I will be your lackey if I must.” The dragon bowed again before her true master.
“Please.”
The Magi chuckled.
“Now, you ran off before. You have been a naughty gal. If you are to return, you must be punished for your indiscretions, and you will need to be prevented from trying to run off again.”
The Magi beckoned to a guard in the distance, who soon appeared bearing golden shackles and a collar.
“It will be for your own good.” He reassured the dragon.
Morha kowtowed. “Yes, I understand.”
“Good.” Hong Jue laughed. “Perhaps we can both turn a new leaf and forge a new world together.”
