The Butterfly Murders

After a period of great destruction, peace settles in Ancient China, the various factions and sects and clans tired of the senseless and brutal killing.

But unease remains in the troubled aftermath as simply getting along with one another requires effort, and extant tensions and widespread jealousies bitterly encourage internecine melodrama. 

Around this time, feverish and brittle, a tale of insects revolting circulates, indeed the emergence of killer butterflies outrageously terrifies the superstitious. 

A castle lies uninhabited except for the resident lord and lady and their maid, who, to avoid the slaughter of the butterflies, have taken to hiding underground.

Sternly visited by the upright leader of a different clan they lithely accommodate, yet mysteries abound delicately within the sombre lair frenzies notwithstanding. 

The legendary thunders are ceremoniously summoned after the strange death of the distant ruler, to see how he divided up his kingdom in stalwart deluge and unbecoming gore.

Their unique gifts are not enough to overcome the misguidance however. 

As unrest strikes and chaos descends.

With ruthless wingéd covetous metamorphosis. 

I haven't seen many old school martial arts films with a sinister focus on honour and treachery, I've never even seen Bruce Lee's films, it's a puzzling shortcoming I need to work on.

The Butterfly Murders, if indicative of a scheme, introduces a fast-paced in-depth action thriller, inherently necessitating suspicion and attention as it wildly indoctrinates incessant lesion.

Calculated mistrust and bewitching loyalties formally clash with inquisitive stewardship, unsettling murders and inarticulate chrysalids defiantly imploding sanctimonious stealth. 

An intricate script intriguingly accentuated with robust character and nondescript collusion, thrown together with ecstatic haste which at times leads to opaque delineations. 

I classically misunderstood the title and thought that butterflies (or transformative individuals) were being murdered, and although the latter does comes to pass, I was still surprised to find butterfly killers.

With such asymmetrical flight paths how could they ever be dispatched?

Similar to bats in flight.

Imbroglio misgivings.
