Long ago, in ancient China, the peacocks ruled over Gongmen city. They brought great joy and prosperity to the city, for they had invented “Fireworks”. But their son, Lord Shen, saw darker power in the fireworks. What had brought colour and joy could also bring darkness and destruction. Shen’s troubled parents consulted to Soothsayer. She foretold¹ that if Shen continued down this dark path, he would be defeated by a warrior² of black and white.  The young lord set out to change his fate. But what he did next only sealed it…

 

Shen returned to his parents full of pride, but in their faces, he saw only horror. He was banished³ from the city forever. But Shen swore revenge, someday he would return and all of China would bow at his feet.
