The Epic of Darkness

All have fallen into place as the Darkness had planned.  The Weapons of the Gods have been gathered and united into the infamous Void Wheel.  Most of the Zodiac Ministers and Elemental Ministers have been killed, if not taken out of the picture.

Lung Zi, twin daughter of the Rabbit Minister, Lung Lin to Bei Sui, contains the spiritual essence of the Deathlord known as He Who Holds In Thrall.  The dark god had succeeded in manipulating events to fall  in his favor.  All over the Empire, the doorways to the shadowlands quiver in excitement.  It is only a matter of time before their dark master beckons for them and claims the world as their own.

This is the final fight in the epic of darkness.

The Sisterhood of Culinary Excellency and Perfection

Formerly known as the Serpent Sisterhood of Purity and   Grace to those who are in the know, the Sisterhood was established originally as a secret society devoted to avenging the loss of the Snake Minister's purity and grace.  The group believed that the Rabbit Minister had overstepped his bounds and taken from her her virtues when he had seen her naked without her wanting him to do so.

But later on, the sisterhood learned of the folly of their group's direction.  And after a failed attempt to assassinate the Rabbit Minister, discovered a much greater calling that needed their attention.  With the Tiger Minister's financial backing, the group vanished for a few months, only to reemerge as the Sisterhood of Culinary Excellency and Perfection.  The group now has spread to have Chapter Houses through out the lands and secretly functions as safe houses and resting points for the Tiger Minister and her allies.

One Chapter House recently was razed to the ground however, and the sister known as Li Tong has vanished.  There are rumors that Li Tong still lives and plans to avenge herself from whoever had attempted to burn her down with the building, an act which consumes her with obsession and individualism.
