Chimper #177
When the ghost-dragons first began to swim through the fogs of The Dragon Wastelands, a lone figure appeared by its swampy rivers. They carried not a sword, but a simple fishing rod. Elders whisper that Hokuto never fished for sustenance, but for secrets. They would cast their line into the memory-choked waters and reel in the dying words of ancient beasts or the forgotten oaths of fallen warlords. The kitsune mask they wore was said to be a gift from a river spirit, granting them the charm to walk unnoticed among enemies. This was how they infiltrated the ranks of a corrupt legion alongside Narisumashi. While Narisumashiโs toad-bound fury drew all eyes, Hokuto quietly fished for the truths that would unravel their foes from within.
