Chimper #365
Magojirou heaved the moss-covered stone aside, revealing a dark passage beneath the roots of an ancient tree. From the shadows, a voice like rustling parchment spoke. "The air is wrong. It has been for centuries." Magojirou had come to The Heart of the Forest seeking the forgotten techniques etched on tomb walls, not a tutor. But Kodai, the tomb's mummified occupant, had awoken with an agenda of their own. The ancient being guided them to ruins even the forest spirits had forgotten, offering lessons in exchange for companionship in a world they no longer recognized. These days, Magojirouโs intense focus is split between mastering the sabre and explaining modern concepts like โsingingโ and โspicesโ to their undead mentor. It's an odd partnership, built on a shared sense of being out of time.
