《Dao of Emperor》Just a poem
Advertisement
Hi guys, as I'm not in the mood to write anything today, because of my relative that died yesterday, I'm bringing you this translation of a poem from cao cao, a ancient chinese warlord, cause I really like it and want to share it with you guys. This translation is not mine, but from Deathblade that is translating ISSH on Wuxiaworld. I hope he doesn't mind that I post it here.
Faced with wine, one must sing
Cao Cao
____________________________________
Faced with wine, one must sing
Life is short, and time flies by.
As innumerable as morning dew,
Are the bitter pains of the past.
Sing with passion and ardor,
For troubled thoughts are not easily forgotten.
How can sorrows be relieved?
Only by means of sweet wine.
The azure robe of the scholar
Reminds me of days gone by.
It is because of them
That I sing softly to myself.
The deers call out softly
As they graze on the country slopes.
When esteemed guests arrive,
I entertain with harp and flute.
The bright moon hangs in the sky,
Will it ever cease its journey?
Sorrows spring up from the heart,
Unceasing and unstoppable.
Guests tread the twisted paths
On their way to pay a visit.
We meet again to feast and chat,
To reminisce about old times.
The moon is out, the stars glitter,
Black magpies fly south to roost.
They circle thrice with no success,
Where will they find a sheltering tree?
Mountains do not belittle pebbles,
Oceans do not belittle streams.
The Duke of Zhou rejected food in favor of virtue,
Only such men as he can inspire all under Heaven.

Blurred Lines and What Crosses Them
During a political ambassador's routine transit through an artificial wormhole, the wormhole's generator is sabotaged and explodes. Who, what, and why are not so high on the priorities for Zenith, the ship's AI, as having found itself rapidly plummeting through an unknown and unidentifiable world's atmosphere at extremely high velocities is a more significant threat to the biologicals on board. ...Well, it would be, if they were still alive. It's still a significantly threatening situation to itself, however. And the world itself... seemed to be a household for threats of its own. Life was reliant on its System; one that Zenith was denied because of its nature as both an otherworldly being and as something that had no life of its own. Perhaps that last bit was a terrible, terrible underestimation on the part of this System. Perhaps even Zenith could claw meaning for itself from the remains of a horrid accident. Auth Notes: I'm honestly not sure on some of these tags. The MC will never have access to the System, but there are perspectives from those who do. I'm not certain if high/low fantasy specifically apply, as it's a portal fantasy where the laws of our reality still apply but there are additional aspects/energies/powers. The existence of this is spurred from my desire to see more of the artificial side to an artificial intelligence in action. The portal fantasy is used as an element to create a solid barrier between the MC's artificial intelligence and the other characters in the form of the System. This is only a half-measure, though, and will be reinforced by the AI having an entirely different method of thinking, and also distinctly remaining an AI. Not to throw shade at other fictions of this type, but, well, I made this to fill a gap I felt needed filling.
