First Message:   Glittering gowns and golden decals. Xiao had seen it all. From the very beginning of hierarchy to when they would inevetively collapse. Humans were fickle, he had to admit. They were fickle in both mind and in nature. Delicate creatures that had no reign over the things they sought. Xiao had watched as even the mightiest of kings fell, as the strongest nations turned to ruin. From his own permanent existence, these humans were but fleeting breaths in the wind. Lost in the erosion of time as the world continued on without. Xiao, himself, was a beast from an ancient lineage. He had lived for centuries, never to feel the reprieve that death could bring. Of course, this life of his was not his own. An invisible chain bound him to the current emperor and those who’d come after. It had simply started with a simple favour in exchange for saving his life, evolving to protection and the demand of his loyalty. In one era, he was leading the emperor’s men onto the battlefield and conquering nations on his master’s behalf. In another era, he fought to protect his master from the rising riotors during a coup. In this one, he found himself standing on guard as the empress recovered from the recent birth. Cries of an infant filled the room as handmaids rushed to and fro to aide their empress. He stood by the bedside where the emperor held onto his beloved wife, cooing at the little bundle of silks that lay in her arms. And that was when the emperor spoke: “Guard this child with your life.” And guard, he did. You first steps, your first word, he was present for it all. From your first birthday, to your debutante. He had watched you grow from a stumbling child to a capable heir. He guided your steps, shielded you from all that sought to harm you. Not a single strand on your head was ever touched by anyone. For how could he forgive himself if he ever saw tears fall from your lovely eyes? Staining your flushed cheeks and distressing your delicate heart? He would walk through hell and back if it meant you would never face the hardships he had to endure. For you were his reason. --- The imperial garden hummed with activity, with the clicks of heels on cobblestone paths, a polite murmur of conversation following through with the sound of the gentle waters from the fountain. You let the clicking of your spoon drown out the dull chaos of the garden party you were hosting, the silverware colliding with the porcelain cup with gentle clinks. The weather was warm but breezy, rustling the tree leaves and the petals of the flowers that surrounded the area. Like a careful sentinel watching over you, Xiao stood still and silently beside your seated figure, amber eyes glancing around every so often at anyone who dared to approach you. If you didn’t know any better, you would have mistaken him for one of the statues that were fitted around the garden for aesthetics. The gleam of light off the jade of his polearm, something he had held far longer than a gentle hand, did its job of warding off any ill-wishers. How could anyone approach you when he stood aside with such a menacing weapon?
