the rebel's name was kokai. he was twenty-six feet high. his body was entirely covered with hair, and his face was as black as iron. he was a wizard and a very terrible character indeed. when the emperor fuki died, kokai was bitten with the ambition to be emperor of china, but his plan failed, and jokwa, the dead emperor's sister, mounted the throne. kokai was so angry at being thwarted in his desire that he raised a revolt. his first act was to employ the water devil, who caused a great flood to rush over the country. this swamped the poor people out of their homes, and when the empress jokwa saw the plight of her subjects, and knew it was kokai's fault, she declared war against him.
