Chimper #2018
Every morning, Tsutako the Follower carefully waters the lucky plant on their head and asks for its divine will. The wizards of The Crystal Highlands of Armaria tell the story with a sigh. Tsutako, claiming an unstable form like Hen'i-tai's made them clumsy, once tripped over a focusing crystal and landed face-first in a puddle. The plant that sprouted from the mud became their new god. Since then, they follow its every lean and droop as a sacred command. A tilt toward the sun is a pilgrimage; a wilt is a sign of cosmic disapproval. Their “possessed” eyes are just them squinting to interpret the foliage. Last week, they followed a powerful lean right into a laboratory, knocking over a rack of potions that created a self-polishing spoon. Tsutako hailed it as a blessed miracle from ‘The Great Sprout’.
