Hello my friends , today as the Invasion and every day nearer War with the Lost Dragon Tribe continues , I will take to yet another corner of the Realverse , to the far and exotic Orient , to the country of China , where Gaia (The Spirit of the Earth) is on a mission to revive a much needed new and powerful ally , an ancient Dragon Goddess , a woman once upon a time called Wen Shi , but that was later called by the people and even the Emperor of China as Longmu , The Mother of Dragons! , deified as a goddess after raising five infant dragons. Longmu and her dragons developed a strong bond for each other, and have thus become an example of filial devotion and parental love, an important virtue in Chinese culture.

Wen Shi frequently went to the Xi River to fish and wash clothes for her family. On one such errand, she found a large smooth white stone along the banks of the river. She took the beautiful stone home, but later discovered that the stone was actually an egg, from which hatched five baby snakes (an alternate version says one). Wen Shi's family was poor, but Wen Shi saved the best food she had for her baby snakes and fed them by hand. As the snakes grew, they helped Wen Shi catch fish at the Xi River. The snakes were natural swimmers and became very good at catching fish.

The snakes eventually matured into five powerful dragons. In Chinese culture, dragons are considered spirits of water, and have the power to control the weather; during a drought, therefore, Wen Shi asked her dragon children to summon the rain for her village. When rain came and ended the drought, the grateful villagers gave Wen Shi the name "Mother of Dragons" or "Divine Human".

Qin Shihuang, the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, received word of Wen Shi and her dragons. The Emperor sent her gifts of gold and jade and requested her presence at Xianyang, the imperial capital city near the Yellow River, far to the north. By this time, Wen Shi was an elderly woman in frail health. Her adult dragons feared for her safety and did not want her to travel so far from her village. Wen Shi boarded a boat to comply with the Emperor's commandment, but her dragons hid under the boat and dragged the boat backward so that the boat could never pass Guilin. Eventually, the frustrated imperial officials relented and allowed Wen Shi to remain home.

After Wen Shi died, the dragons were overwhelmed by sadness and took human form, becoming known as the Five Scholars , who buried her on the northern side of Zhu Mountain.

Everyone who heard the story of Longmu was touched by the filial devotion of the dragons. During the early Han Dynasty, the Xiaotong Temple , later known as the Longmu Ancestral Temple , was built in her honor. The temple is in Yuecheng in Deqing County of Guangdong province. It features calligraphy dedicated to the goddess written by the Emperor Hong Wu of the Ming Dynasty. The temple remains very popular and has been renovated 13 times over the centuries, most recently in 1905-1912 and 1985.

Another temple dedicated to Longmu is the Baisha Temple in Zhaoqing, south of the Xi River in the Ruizhou District, also in Guangdong province. The temple was built in 1587, but it is not as well preserved as the Xiaotong Temple. The city declared the temple a cultural site in 1982.

Longmu's festival is in the first week of the fifth month of the Chinese Lunar Calendar. She is a patron goddess of parents and children, and remains a popular deity throughout China.

It is on this temples that Gaia must summon the spirit of her original five Dragon "sons" , who guard the remains and the eternal rest of their beloved "mother" , fully explaining the current turn of events and the need for her return , the agree , but with one condition , two of them would accompany her at all times as her body guards and as an extension of herself , therefore granting her their individual powers (control the weather , flight , regeneration and greater physical strength in addition to her own natural ability to talk and control Dragons telepathically .

Using the God Hand ritual , each one the five cut an specific finger of their hands and place them on Wen Shi's remains (right about were the heart would be) and along with Gaia called forth her spirit , the finger started to glow ever so brightly until they change in a new body , anew vessel for her soul , and live once more temporally (the spell and new body would only last five years!) , far than enough time to set things strait and restore peace to her other dragon kind , and make hose who enslave them and tarnish their reputation pay dearly , for there is nothing to fear more than a "mother" protecting her children! , behold the Goddess Longmu , Mother of Dragons!!

Recipe is a rather simple one to my shame , so please forgive the basics of it , but if fit so nicely my current Dragon Tribe crossover event that I just had to used her and with that so cool and even better fitting Chinese Legend (she has two real temples in China!) the character
and figure were a must , I used a Chaos comics Jade figure almost unchanged , took the back end of her skirt and coiled TWO wired green dragons around her (I had an extra one from a previous custom using this base) and as final touch I gave her a pair of emerald dragon wings that I didn't use from my previous custom (Beauty and the Beast) that match with her motif perfectly (zero paint this time!) well I hope you like and Thanks , (sorry for the log rant guys!)
