Daughter of War

"Even though we lost the knowledge of our ancestors, we didn't lose their powers. The bloodline of Goldclaws remains pure and their family has served us well over the years. So we have the raw power to face the threat of the Demon Father, we just don't know how it should be used. That power is in the arms of Johanika Goldclaw, the current leader of that clan. In every generation, a child is born among them with supernatural abilities in the art of war. The child of war had always been a male for the past 500 years until she stepped on the scene.

She is a favourite of mine, her mere existence disrupted a system that was accustomed to male leaders. I can't help but feel a certain kinship with her, I know this reality too well and, like me, she proved herself worthy.

It is said that the battle she cannot win doesn't exist. While I am proud of her achievements, I would be naive to not see that these battles are a small part of the bigger picture. However, I let the people have their hope, the burden of the bigger picture is for myself and my military advisers to carry.

Our scouts have reported sightings of a strange breed of the Demon Father's Horde in the North. Naturally, I sent her to investigate this. I hope her reputation sees her through this one too, it's been too long since we've heard from her."
