Tanpopo

Tanpopo did not ask to become a guardian. They came to the fog-drenched valleys for a single, clean objective: retrieve a lost imperial seal from the ribcage of a fossilized dragon. But the seal was being used as a shiny toy by Yuyura, a younger chimp with an astonishing talent for finding trouble. When a rockslide threatened to flatten their camp, Tanpopo’s training kicked in. They saved Yuyura, but the seal was lost in the ensuing chaos. Now, the mission is a permanent escort detail. Their tactical gear, once used for silent infiltration, is now deployed to fetch Yuyura from precarious ledges. The mask, meant to instill fear, mostly just hides an eternal, weary sigh.
