Shisano

Every evening, Shisano lights the guiding lanterns outside their quarters, their chimped eyes reflecting the soft glow. To the other trainees, it’s a charming ritual, a sign of their gentle, artistic nature. They see a playful spirit perfectly at home amidst the bamboo and cherry blossoms of The Great Panda City. Only Shizura knows the truth. They were once bitter enemies, and this peace is a fragile construct. Each lantern isn't just a beacon; it's a ward, painted with symbols only Shizura can read. They are a quiet message, a nightly renewal of a truce that ended a terrible conflict between them. The real secret is that the lanterns also serve as a warning for what will happen should that truce ever be broken.
