Sahoka

What is a life of serene meditation worth when measured against a single, chaotic laugh? For years, Sahoka’s world was the quiet order of their stall in Waterfall City, where every transaction was balanced and every day flowed as predictably as the river below. Their long hair was a testament to a life of patient study, poring over ledgers and listening to the hum of the city. Then a traveler with wind-tousled hair and eyes full of distant storms started bartering for goods with stories instead of coin. Suddenly, Sahoka’s calm broke. Their carefully managed peace was replaced by booming laughter and wide-eyed surprise. The accounts are sometimes off by a few coins now, but their joy is a currency that echoes across the plaza.
