Hello everyone. My name’s Ling and I’m from China.

I was part of the biggest rebel group, the crows, and it was our goal to take down the cruel Emperor Zang. He was the meanest ruler you could ever imagine - he spat on the poor, stole whatever he wanted, and never gave back to the people. It was my job to infiltrate his palace and find evidence that would bring Emperor Zang down for good.

I walked out onto the street of the bustling marketplace, dressed in the prettiest Cheongsam dress I could find. This was the only day Emperor Zang would be taking a stroll through the village marketplace for at least another year. I couldn’t blow this opportunity. Sure enough, I started to hear guards and loud voices down the street as Emperor Zang and his guards forced their way through the crowds of people.

Emperor: “Make way, peasants!”

I readied myself, then just as they were passing by I walked over and pretended to fall in front of them.

“Oh! Excuse me your highness.”

I looked up, batting my eyes at the emperor.

“Oh!” Emperor Zang smiled like an old creep and helped me to my feet. “Aren’t you a pretty lil thing?”

I shivered inwardly and forced a smile. “Why thank you, your highness! You’re not so bad yourself!”
