Horrible news! The Dragon Emperor’s Seamstress has gone missing!
What’s that? You have no idea who the Dragon Emperor’s Seamstress is? The boar spirit from the Land of Dragons who always wears three-piece pink suits to match her fabulous pink hair? The one who constructed Shee Yee’s mother’s famous wedding robes from sunbeams, morning dew, and sea glass?
Still not ringing a bell?
Gods, she really should fire her publicist.
Anyway, if you happen to come across a boar spirit who resembles the portrait above, please contact a local shaman immediately. Not only is the seamstress supernaturally stylish, she’s also way more powerful than you might expect. And if her talents were to fall into the wrong hands, well . . . we don’t even want to think about it.
Boar’s Head
You might not expect such raw power from the seamstress just by looking at her, but don’t let the cute pink wardrobe fool you. She can weave anything—silk from crickets, thunder from a spring storm, silver straight from the vein.
And she doesn’t even need her special tools or private workshop to get the job done. Those familiar with the seamstress have reported that she can even pull materials as needed directly from her belly button. And no, we’re not just talking about lint. More like straw that she can weave into pure gold.
We just hope that’s not also how she prepares her dinner . . .
Pretty in Pink
How exactly did an unassuming boar spirit develop such vast powers? Simple. In her career, she has always strived for the most elite and exclusive of clientele.
And who is more exclusive and elite than the gods themselves?
After receiving a major power upgrade from the gods, the seamstress transitioned from the glamorous world of fashion to the much more glamorous world of fashion and celestial weaponry.
That’s right. You’re looking at the boar who had a hand in crafting Shee Yee’s legendary lightning ax. In fact, the seamstress and Shee Yee go way, way back. For those paying attention, that means that the seamstress is much, much older than she looks.
Surprised? With a face like hers, you should be. And no, she hasn’t had any work done, thank you very much. Just the benefits of clean and healthy living.
Prison Break
Shee Yee’s day may have come and gone, but even all these centuries later, the seamstress’ prior association with this famous hero could have put a target on her back. We’d like to rest easy knowing that the Dragon Emperor must have sent his very best dragon warriors to look for her.
Unfortunately, the Dragon Emperor only has jurisdiction over the Land of Dragons. If the seamstress was taken beyond his borders, he’ll have a harder time finding her. And asking for help from other gods would be a huge administrative headache.
In the interest of trying to stay positive, maybe we can just assume that whoever stole the seamstress just wants her help in deciding on a fresh new fit. And, you know, not her help in crafting ultra-powerful weapons and armor for their own warriors.
Or even worse, her help in creating a new map to the location of Xov’s prison. Did we forget to mention that the seamstress is one of the only spirits in all of existence who knows how to reach the current resting place of the god of thunder, destruction, and wrath?
The seamstress is also possibly the only spirit who understands the true cost of sealing Xov away for good. Sure, a powerful hero like Shee Yee could hold the seal of Xov’s prison for years, if not decades, longer . . . but not without making the proper sacrifice. A sacrifice that must be made without regrets.
Kind of like dying your hair neon pink without consulting your friends or family first. But on a much bigger scale.
