Chimper #1597
The Masked Apprentice, they call them in the fortress halls of The Crystal Highlands of Armaria. Few know the mask isn't for anonymity, but for shame. Komashirou was once an agent, a cold instrument sent to steal arcane secrets. They succeeded, acquiring a spell that could unwrite a person's soul. But seeing it used—the blank stare where a life once was—fractured their purpose. They fled, returning to the very wizards they’d betrayed, expecting execution but receiving a choice: study, learn, and find a way to reverse the damage. Now, spectacles perch over the fabric of their mask as they pore over ancient texts, their once-lethal focus bent toward a single, desperate goal. They hunt not for targets, but for a cure.
