Just a few nitpicks to spoil everbody's fun.
I liked this, but I can't show my appreciation
any other way.

I thought DC comics was/is the actual copyright holder. But then
again, the legal (or any other) aspects of Green Lantern is not my
area of expertise.

(Note: Green Lantern #16 provided the inspiration for this
story. However only the colour green remains.)

Zhang, the necromancer, turned the stone in his hands.=20
It wasn't really stone, but then Zhang wasn't really his name.
Not the one he'd been born with decades earlier, thousands of
miles away in the black forests of Germanica. Before the
My books say Germania (as well as Britannia, Gallia, Hispania etc.).
I don't speak Latin, but I think Germanica is the wrong inflection.

raised her fist high and pumped it twice to signal her war-hand=20

Which leads us to ask why he became a monk.=20
The travels? The uniform? The Glamour?
Free bed and board at monasterys all over Europe?
Crawling slowly through grass close cropped by herds
of goats she listened to the whirr of insects and smelled the
rich soil that she bruised in passing. The sun seemed warmer,
the sky bluer and she wondered if this would be her last day
alive. Death rested lightly on her soul. The thought of failure
turned her bowls=20
bowels?

Seven days it had taken her. Seven days without food,
drink or sleep. Yet she felt as if she'd just begun. She'd been
terrified that any inattention to her task would be taken as a
lack of faith by Kwannon and her son would die. As she had
told the monk, she had no skills as an artesian
artisan? But I assume she wouldn't be a very skilled well either.

"I didn't sleep well." Came the mumbled reply. Maybe
if she snuck up on the sucker? Tofu was tricky.
Heh.
"Interfere Amazon and husband mean death." Shan Pu
asserted, producing a matched pair of Goloks. The heavy
Malaysian knives were a gift from her father and she hadn't
had a chance to try them out yet.
So that's were he went!

usually speak Panjabi.
Notes on "The Amazon Nation":
I'm assuming the Chinese Amazons are the remnants of a
group of the original Amazons that, according to legend,
were captured in battle and carried of into slavery. On
One could, however, bring up several arguments that the
Chinese Amazons originate from one of the all-female units
of the Tai-Ping rebellion in the mid-19th century.
But unless someone demands it, I won't.

Amazons weren't sailors and couldn't find their way
home. I've changed the legend slightly by assuming that,
for various reasons, they or their descendants
eventually ended up in China. I've used
But how did they end up in Qinghai? It's pretty hard to get
there by boat.
several existing or past mountain cultures as a
template to build the present day Chinese Amazons. I'm
Most sources I have seen places the original Amazons in Scythia
(north of the Black Sea), making them more likely to be
"horse nomads" than mountain people. Of course, they would
have to adapt when moving to their current location.
also assuming that the Chinese Amazons have a great deal
of adoption from outside the tribe to keep the gene pool
diverse. Further I'm assuming that names are not=20
necessarily reflective of racial characteristics. For
instance, Aziza had an Arabic name, due to familial
relationships, but was more nordic in type. ^_^

King Pyrrhus: Hey! What's with all these non-Japanese

about an obscure fight between the Greeks and Romans.=20
It's not that obscure.
Possibly true. And you _could_ have used something
like Hideyoshi's Korean campaign that destroyed Korea
