Fushigi

When Aoi’s temporal device sputtered and dropped their midnight snack into the great falls, the fishers say the water itself held its breath. The bowl of ramen didn't sink. It swirled in a vortex atop the cascade, glowing with an otherworldly light before plunging into the depths. An hour passed. Then, climbing the stone stairs to the main plaza was a small, white-furred chimp, slurping a single, impossibly long noodle. This was Fushigi. Locals believe they were born of broth and destiny, a spirit summoned by Aoi's strange future-magic. They were immediately declared a sacred trainee, though their training seems focused entirely on emptying every food stall near the great fish statue. Some say the noodle they constantly eat is the very one from that first bowl, a cosmic thread connecting them to their delicious beginning.
