Sakarishizu

Sakarishizu [Akashiren: サカリシズ] or 'Teardrop' is the wise guardian dragon of the city of Tennyoku, the capital of the Akashiro Shogunate, that resides in the eastern Tengaki mountains. It is hailed by all citizens of Akashiro as the protector of Tennyoku and is considered a kami by some.
==History ==
=== Pre Muhō Jidai ===
Around 2,700 years ago, the first Shigen-sha returned from the second layer of the Abyss with a peculiar egg. Over the years, the egg was kept in a warm room, patiently waiting to hatch. One rainy night, it finally did, revealing a small blue dragon. This dragon, named 'Sakarishizu', meaning 'Teardrop' due to his blue hue and extraordinary ability to control water, was raised by the Shigen-sha. Under his guidance, Sakarishizu learned much about the Abyss and its history. As he grew larger and stronger, the Shigen-sha allowed him to live in the Tengaki Mountains, entrusting him with the responsibility of protecting Tennyoku City.
=== During Muhō Jidai ===
After the death of the first Shigen-sha, Sakarishizu retreated to the Tengaki Mountains to mourn. However, the ensuing chaos in the shogunate forced him to resume his duty of protecting Tennyoku City. For many years, he defended the city from foreign invaders. Yet, on the eve of the Siege of Tennyoku, Sakarishizu fell gravely ill and became immobile. Her absence prolonged the siege, making it more perilous and nearly successful.
=== Post Muhō Jidai ===
Two years after the siege, thanks to the dedicated care of many kind citizens of Tennyoku, Sakarishizu regained her strength and returned to full health. Resuming her duty of protecting the city, the dragon is now adorned and loved by all its inhabitants, some even considering it a kami. Her regeneration of health allowed the Kami of Guardianship, Kuromineko, to go and protect Ryula's divine weapon, Seishin no Kiyome.
