Shinsei

Shinsei, often referred to as the Golden Dragon, is an imposing figure in both physical stature and divine prowess. She is a Desconocido of remarkable beauty, adorned with radiant golden scales that gleam in the sun, and an equally impressive set of wings that unfurl with an awe-inspiring span. She possesses a grace and elegance that belies her size, demonstrating a level of finesse rarely associated with creatures of her magnitude. But Shinsei's physical attributes only tell part of her story. The dragon is renowned for her wisdom and intellect. She is widely respected among the diverse races of Osira and Tolria for her deep knowledge of the realms and their intricacies. Many look upon her as a figure of guidance, her words, and actions held in the highest regard.

The bond between Shinsei and Ryujin Hattori is both deeply personal and profoundly significant. Their relationship dates back many years, to a time when Shinsei found herself ensnared by a crazed shaman in the Tani Mountains. The shaman sought to manipulate Shinsei's soul, using her formidable power for his own malevolent purposes. Ryujin, then a young prince with a strong sense of justice, happened upon the enthralling scene and intervened. The prince bravely confronted the shaman, challenging his power with his own. After a fierce battle that shook the valleys, Ryujin emerged victorious, freeing Shinsei from her captor.

In gratitude for her liberation, Shinsei pledged her loyalty to Ryujin, becoming his protector and closest confidant. Ever since, she has remained by his side, offering her wisdom and protection. Their relationship transcends that of master and servant, indicating a mutual respect and profound bond that has come to symbolize their shared reign. Today, Shinsei is a beloved figure, her golden form eliciting gasps of awe and admiration wherever she appears. As the trusted companion of Emperor Ryujin Hattori and the protector of his realm, Shinsei's name will forever be enshrined in the annals of the Empire's history.

The death of Shinsei, the Golden Dragon, marks a devastating loss for the Y’azi Empire and all who revered her as a symbol of wisdom, strength, and divine grace. One of the last remaining Desconocido, her radiant form once soared through the skies as both protector and confidant to Dragon Emperor Ryujin Hattori, her presence a beacon of the Empire’s enduring might.

During the battle against The Tides of Khaos, as the Empire fought to repel the barbaric Desconocido horde, a ballista bolt fired from the enemy ranks struck her mid-flight, piercing through her golden scales. Wounded yet unbroken, Shinsei plummeted from the heavens, crashing amidst a swarm of marauding warriors. Even as she lay broken upon the battlefield, she fought valiantly to her last breath, carving through the enemy in a final, defiant stand.

As the last of her strength faded, a column of radiant light erupted from her sundered soul, scorching the battlefield and sending shockwaves through the heavens. It is said that in that moment, her essence transcended, returning to the celestial realms beyond. Her loss is felt deeply across the Y’azi Peninsula, not only as the passing of a great protector but as the final lament of an ancient lineage now on the brink of extinction.

The Empire mourns, but the legend of Shinsei, the Golden Dragon, the Guardian of Ryujin will never fade—her name immortalized in the annals of history, her legacy an eternal flame in the hearts of the Y'azi Dragonborn.
