Summary
Before samurais. Before shoguns and their authoritarian shogunates. Aoi was the high priest of the northern kingdom based in Ancient Japan, which its inhabitants called Yamato. He was revered as a deity here with his exquisite fair hair and ability to instill immense faith and unparalleled bravery into soldiers. Upper Yamato’s Emperor Kai had never lost a war with Aoi by his side ever since he had ascended the throne, yet the god’s powers weren’t limitless, as they have seemed to be. The northern kingdom soon got to taste the bitterness of defeat at the hands of its southern counterpart with Aoi forcefully taken away as a prisoner of war. Regardless of the priest’s god-like status in his homeland, the kingdom’s talisman was merely a slave in the hands of their enemy.
