The winds of the Pacific blew through her long black locks. Her golden orbs staring onto the horizon. They have been at sea for days, but she was no stranger to the waters. The rocking sway of the ship breaking the eternal waves did not bother her. It was rather pleasant. Rhythmic; almost hypnotic. Like a sweet sirens song that would ease a sailor to their untimely end. As would their enemy. Closing her eyes as she felt the warmth of the rising sun, break the waters. Warming her face with its divine radiance. This was their destiny. This was their time to claim dominance over the sea. For the rising Sun to never set. The Emperor willed it.



Her feline ears perked as she heard footsteps run towards her. Craning her head as a pilot approached her, "we are ready at your command Admiral. We have them unaware of our positions, ready to strike." Blake nodded as she turned back towards the sea. Ignoring the clatter and scamper of men as she heard the thunderous roar of ignited engines. Taking a deep breath, a small smirk crossed her lips. This was the might of her nation. Her empire. Looking across she watched as her sister carriers began the same thing. She could see the whirl of the propellers, pilots wrapping headbands around their headpieces as they spoke final prayers to their ancestors. This was a day for glory.



Placing a gloved hand upon the hilt of her katana, a gift from the Emperor Himself. A treasured gift. Her sensitive ears could hear the sound of the blade exiting its hilt over the symphony of nature and machine. Raising her blade above her, declaring herself to the world, brought the tip of the blade outstretched towards the west. Never flinching as a plane flew into the morning skies, metres' over her head. Her eyes watched as more and more planes launched themselves into the air, crewmen cheered, the sounds of roaring engines all but music to the drums of war. "Soon..." She whispered as she watched her birds fly towards the risings horizon, "Soon you will know the power you've unleashed upon yourselves. This ocean. Is ours."
