Yulong's Covenant

A covenant we shall cut here today. Between you and me.

I will make you great in the land. Your name will never be forgotten. Many will see you and fear. I will bless you and this land. As long as you dwell in the land it will be prosperous. Wherever you go the land will be prosperous.

Wherever you go I shall be with you. I will be your lord and you will be my people. If your deeds please me then I will bless you, but woe to you if you displease me. For my wrath will come upon you and I shall curse you. You and the generations after you. Your children and your grandchildren to the third generation.

Wherever you go you shall speak my name. You will make known whom you serve and who blesses you. In your great deeds I will not be forgotten for I am the one who is blessing you.

I will be with you and I will give you my pearl. A piece of me that you shall carry. Only one of you shall carry my pearl. So that I might be with you and you with me. On the seventh day you shall place a droplet of water upon my pearl. On this day you shall call out to me and if I am willing I will answer you. The one who carries my pearl will be my mouth. You will be the mouth of Yulong. To that one I will speak and that one shall speak for me.

The mouth of Yulong shall take two of you to be their assistants. You will be my breath. The breath of Yulong is both great and terrible, For it gives both life and death. Council you will give in matters of the mouth. The breath of Yulong May speak to Yulong through the pearl but never speaks for Yulong. Only the mouth may speak for me.

Another one among you shall make a record of this. This one will be my scribe and shall keep a record of my blessings and of the deeds you will accomplish in my name. Through this record others may witness the greatness of Yulong and of his people. By this record will others follow Yulong.

And yet two shall be my claws. And when my enemies shall come against me I shall use my claws to strike them down. Deadly indeed are the claws of Yulong. The claws of Yulong will lead armies, for where the claws point the armies will conquer.

Last shall be my heart. The heart of Yulong is rich indeed. For the heart of Yulong desires treasure. Great treasures you will have and keep and divide among the others. Not a copper will be spent without my heart’s say so. For not even the mouth can say what the heart desires. And the claws can not grasp unless the heart relents.

This shall be my covenant that we cut today. This is the covenant of Yulong and the seven swords.
