HOUR 1722 - November 27, 2017 - 丁酉 - Year of the Fire Rooster
The old palace. A testament to Kingly might and the wealth of the old aristocracy, the structure was embroidered with gold, laden with silk tapestries, and as scarcely populated as a prison with open doors. The Southern Palace had once been the seat of power of the fallen Kingdom of Xiguo, and now occassionally played host to the last scion of the Zhan Dynasty, known now as the Red Prince, now governor of Nangong Province.
Much of the wealth of the Palace had been reappropriated by the proletariat after the fall of the Kingdom, but had since been restocked with modern accommodations. It was within these refined confines, surrounded by scarlet and gold tapestries, that the three most powerful Communist leaders in the northern hemisphere now sat. It felt almost as if fate had called for this meeting in the year of Yin, though no true Dorgönist would admit it.
Zhao Shaling, Secretary-General of the Red Alliance and President of the People's Republic of Xinhai, wore a simple black zhongshan suit with a high mandarin collar. Her skin was delicate and hid her age well. She wore no makeup - such a bourgeois product was not befitting of the woman that led Free Toyou towards liberation - yet her supple, golden skin and soft, flushed lips were distracting in a room filled with mostly foreign men.
Flanking her, the most elite and loyal of the People's Republic's Red Guards, all women, yet all visibly the equal in strength of any counterpart. Stern, strong jaws and unwavering ready stances made them almost appear as if they had been sculpted as they stood with their backs to the tapestries. "Our nations have their differences, this is a simple fact. Yet, the need for cooperation and harmony is more necessary now than ever. Fifty some years have passed since Ivar and Villesen pioneered relations between East and West. Yet, where have we come since, and where are we headed? These are questions I would pose to you, comrades."
Before allowing them to finish, though, she aimed to set the framework for the discussion with a simple note: "I see a Red North, strong and united. Serenierre faces difficulties as does Kadikistan and Rurikgrad. Though we may not agree on doctrines, perhaps we recognize shared threats. Surely, there are then grounds for us to increase cooperation?"
