Emor’s Prophecy

**Emor’s Prophecy** is first contact between Japan and Emor Kingdom in the Central World where Dragonfolks in the Divination Ceremony saw the return of the Ravernal Empire and Japan and begin preparations for diplomatic negotiations with Japan.

## Events leading to the Prophecy

The Japan Ministry of Foreign Affairs was vigorously ramping up efforts to expand their diplomatic reach. Even though it had been some months since Japan had transferred, they had only formed diplomatic ties with a single country that was considered a major power in this world, the Second Civilization Area’s superpower Mu.

The ministry considered two countries of critical importance: the world’s strongest country, the Holy Mirishial Empire; and a single-race country that only had a population of one million but still carried the title of “superpower,” a nation that was said to be tough to deal with because of their ego, the Emor Kingdom.

With Mu as an intermediary, they expected talks with the Holy Mirishial Empire to go smoothly. However, because the Emor Kingdom was so prideful, their intelligence indicated that negotiations would probably be rough. Furthermore, they were located rather far inside the First Civilization, the Central World, so just getting to them could be somewhat difficult.

The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs had recently made progress in their negotiations with the Meerky Kingdom, a country that neighbored Emor, so they decided to try dispatching a small delegation from Meerky Kingdom to establish first contact.

## Traveling on the Pamna Desert

Japanese Diplomat Arao with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and his six members of the Japanese delegation were currently on board a curious vehicle in the Pamna Desert in the Meerky Kingdom. After traveling through the desert for another 100 km, apparently they would be in the Emor Kingdom. They were riding what was known as a “sand boat,” which had twenty wheels on each side and used sails powered by magic gems that produced wind, to slowly make their way through the desert.

## Divination Ceremony

In the royal castle in the capital city, Dragusmakira, the Dragon King Waghdran was standing before the space diviner. (Unlike on Earth, divination in this world uses magic power, so its results are very accurate.) The divination of space was a yearly event that would determine the future of the country. Dragonfolk had magical power on the same level as high elves. For this ceremony, they gathered thirty people with the highest quality magical power and squeezed out as much pure magical power as possible to cast the divination spell.

This divination was used to determine whether there were any important or significant events that would affect the country; its primary purpose was to identify obstacles as early as possible in order to take countermeasures. The ritual took place in a dome-shaped room, supervised by the country’s leaders. The diviner, Alesthre, used both of his hands to siphon the magic power from the thirty mages; when he was done, they shined a pale red. This gave off the effect of stars being projected onto the dome’s ceiling.

Everyone watched nervously. Space divination was known to have an accuracy of over 98%. The Space Diviner Alesthre appeared to be extremely distraught. He saw that the Ravernal Empire (Ancient Sorcerous Empire) from the myths, Latistor will return, but there is a distortion in space he didn’t know where and when. Everyone in the room shuddered in fear.

The Dragon King Waghdran asked him if there was any way to avoid destruction or enslavement. Alesthre discovered new country making an appearance where they brought here from another world as a transferred nation. His face turned grim to respond an island country, further east than Philades Continent where a nation ruled by humans with a flag with the sun, named Japan.

King Waghdran was disgusted that humans did with their weak magical power, but Alesthre predicted that the Japanese will be the key on opposing the Ravernal Empire.

King Waghdran called to a noble in charge of diplomacy to investigate Japan and then begin diplomatic negotiations, but Alesthre countermanded and told that Japan already sent diplomats here where they were crossing the Pamna Desert in the Meerky Kingdom to the twenty-seventh border gate. The king called the gatekeeper thru the magical communicator to let Japan welcoming.

Dragon King Waghdran was terrified of the Ravernal Empire’s return.

## Arriving at the Border Gate

The delegation from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign arrived at the border gate to the Dragonfolk Kingdom of Emor. The sandboat pier was built right on the border of the desert and the forest; after getting off the boat, all of a sudden they were faced with a forest. In front of the forest about two kilometers away, looking completely out-of-place, was a huge gate that was painted blue.

They walked on the stone path. After some time, they found themselves looking up at the thirty-meter-tall blue gate. Standing next to the gate were a two-meter tall soldier and some other people of the same height wearing native clothes; they were checking permits.

Arao looked around. There was a booth next to the gate with a long line of people applying for entry permits. The Japanese delegation got into line. An Emorish staff member watching the line yelled at the envoys of humans from Riem Kingdom. The Riem envoys shouted back angrily to try renegotiate the establishment of diplomatic relations, but an Emorsh staff member ignored them as lower humans and ordered them back to the line. They quietly went to the back of the line. Arao, standing next his colleague Houki, believed that supposed negotiations would be difficult, as predicted.

Someone wearing formal clothes, along with what appeared to be an escort of four soldiers came out of the gate and walked towards them. The dragonfolk Moriaul stopped in front of the Japanese delegation and asked them where they came from and what they want for purpose. Arao responded they were here from Japan far east of the Third Civilization continent of Philades to establish diplomatic relations with the Emor Kingdom.

Laughter suddenly rang out from behind them in the line. The Riem envoys began to chat, loud enough to be heard, clearly aiming their slander at the Japanese delegation as barbarians from outside the civilized areas. They just spewed words of abuse.

Moriaul apologized Japanese diplomats to wait and welcomed them to join in the private before beginning diplomatic negotiations. Suddenly things proceeded so smoothly that Arao and Houki were simply flabbergasted.

The Riem envoys blurted out angrily to him that Japanese diplomats should have to wait on the line. They tried to request to be treated in accordance with their status and renegotiate diplomatic relations with the Emor Kingdom, but Moriaul didn't care about them as just some human country and ordered them to wait in the line there.

After passing the border gate, Moriaul guided Japanese diplomats to the VIP room in the royal castle to meet the Dragon King Wagdran and dragonfolk government officials for beginning diplomatic negotiations.

## Aftermath

At a later date, Japan would establish diplomatic relations with the dragonfolk country, the superpower Emor Kingdom.
