====== Baojian ====== Baojian is a scepter, which is also a spirit that Fujiko spoke to. It is one of the items that [[Xan Li]] believes to herald the end of civilisation as he knows it - or something. It was mentioned in some poem. ===== Second Conversation with Fujiko ===== She is dead and not in danger. Her sister and her bind themselves to their bloodline for a need. Three sisters of one birth. They saw long ago a wound in the world - all three they saw but the time was not right to act, neither were they right to act. So they made a chance and bound that chance with their lives. They are made to kill possibilities. They died for their power - their sister had her three... she is dead now a long time ago, she had three daughters who had children... from them came the swordsman, an empress and a traveller. //Probably referring to the Hantai bloodline, which is now extinct. Empress number one was a mysterious daughter of a mysterious fisherman.// She is dead, she does not decide. Choices belong to the living. //She really isn't making much sense//. The children of the children are not dead. So the chance persists. There is still hope. The future can die. The world is not doomed. //There is a heated discussion about whether the jade scepter looks like a pomegranate, an onion or a toffee apple...// The world is made up of different spirit realms, and they are jealous of each other, and they are worried about [[Jigoku]]. ===== Third Conversation ===== The crystal the spirits are in is a shield rather than a prison. The [[Jade Empress]] is one of their descendants.
