Jakusaburou

Jakusaburou’s kitsune mask is polished smooth by hands that know healing better than violence. They carved it themself from a shard of a fallen monolith in The Crystal Highlands of Armaria, a simple piece for a local festival. That was before they overheard two scientists discussing a new purpose for the fortress's spinning magical rocks—a purpose that would drain the life from the land. To act without being seen, the mask became a necessity. The nurturing chimp became a phantom warrior, a rumor whispered at sunset. These days, they move between shadows cast by unshakable monoliths, a silent guardian. The wizards now hunt a ghost, unaware it is the same chimp who offers them a kind nod in the market square. The fortress rocks spin faster tonight, pulsing with a dangerous energy, and Jakusaburou must decide if their secret is worth more than the home it was meant to protect.
