Ascending earth, 20
*Ress watched the setting sun in the sky and the beautiful orange reflection it played across the waves. He had made his way many miles from Bezier to the swelled portion of the yellow river that lay just within the walls of his empire. He smiled as he saw the huge building, floating atop the waves through long forgotten magics, accessible only by a bridge of white jade and marble. Ress strode on noble bearing strides to the platform, seeking to enter this structure that his map titled as "The Marina". Upon setting foot on the bridge, the water began to churn underneath the Marina, as if a thousand sea creatures were angered by his presence. With a large splash of water and a snarl, a lake dragon erupted from the formerly calm water. Ress responded almost instantly by leaping up into the air, where he summoned his trusty bow from his bracer, retrieved three arrows from the quiver at his hip and in the same motion, shot three arrows down the beast's throat, rupturing its organs and killing it almost instantly. The water stopped churning soon as the beast was slain. Ress's eyes narrowed as he looked down into the water.... it seemed that his previous incarnation had appointed guardians of the marina just as he did the Armory.... a wave of anger swept over the young ruler as he realized he had once again been denied his Exaltright... He exhaled hard, then turned on his heels and began making the long walk back to his Manse.... it would take much time before he could purge traitors from his land completely*
