First Crystal [Audio post]

I have a question, digital world. One that I'm quiet interested in hearing what you all believe the answer is. The subject you ask?

Empires.

What is it that makes an Empire and what separates the poor from the great? What are the components to a truly great Empire?

Furthermore, what is it that allows an Empire to stand the test of time? What could be done to erect an empire that would stand for thousands of years, if not an eternity?

I await your answers.

Happiness and peace do not come free. A ruler must fight for them. Very valid points.

May I ask your name?

[xros_heart]

No, they don't. I fought long and hard to secure those things for my people, and I'd do it all again.

Heh. You wanna know, though, do you? Then I'll tell you!

I'm Shoutmon, Digimon King!

[cyclonia_rising]

Shoutmon, Digimon King? Interesting.

There are seven other digimon who call themselves Kings as well. Any relation?

[xros_heart]

The "King" isn't part of my name.

I AM the King. As in, King of my Digital World.

[cyclonia_rising]

As I am aware. I was simply curious as to if you had ties to the digimon that call themselves the Kings of this world.

[xros_heart]

I think you're talking about Digimon like a .. what? KingEtemon?

Nah. No relation.

Like I said. That's not part of my name - for them, that's just their name.

[cyclonia_rising]

No, that isn't what I meant.

I meant the seven Demon Kings.

[xros_heart]

...keh.

Not even hardly.

[cyclonia_rising]

Now I wonder something else. If you are King of another Digital World, will you try to become King of this one as well?
