Title: The Key to Power Rating: G Prompt: #64 - The one who got away Summary: The new warlord would not let his loss go unpunished.
Zhir Rayong entered the warlords presence on his knees and bowed low to the floor where he waited to be acknowledged. Zhir Andou, Sarain’s new warloard was seated on a golden high backed throne at the head of the room. His hand grasped the arm of his chair until his knuckles turned white. Beneath his harsh but handsome face suppressed rage was simmering, waiting to come to the boil.
“How did this happen?” He snapped, “you told me you would have her, and now where is she? Hmm?”
“Warlord, I, I do not know” Zhir Rayong stammered in reply. “The temple will tell us nothing, they have barricaded the gates.”
“You do not know!” The warlord roared. “Find out, and find her. She is the key to my power. And bring me jian Cadao, the convent will dance to my tune now.”

I love this! We don't get enough fic about these characters, and this was an inventive use of the prompt!

Oooh, this is great! I love that you used characters we don't see at, but have effects on the universe.
