CHARACTERS
LUNG MEI
Mei is raised by her uncle, Chang, in the semitropical, remote Guilin region. Uncle Chang is an accomplished engineer and scientist like his brother. There she learns how to engineer tools to help with the fieldwork and other household chores. She has a pet firebird, a phoenix-like bird, named Howin.
Mei has the remarkable ability to give life to dying crops and sick animals. Word begins to spread of the miracles the girl appears to be perfoming. One of her hands can generate a green aura of life...the other, an ominous red glow emanates, its powers as of yet unimplemented.
THE CAPTURE
Word reaches the capital of Shangxi and Emperor Lu Gui hears of the mysterious girl in remote Gansu who seems to have divine power over life itself. He is suspicious, thinking it could only be the work of Lung Hui Ying. He sends his troops, including mechanical golems, to Gansu to seize the girl.
When Uncle Chang's farm is attacked, Mei grabs an experimental matchlock gun her uncle was working on and hides it in her bag and throws it to her uncle. They are both captured.
