Yuaki

Who offers to share a curse? Not a renowned warrior or a powerful mage, but Yuaki, the quiet trainee everyone overlooked. When the prized amulet passed to Akurai began to seethe with uncontrollable power, the masters saw only a weapon to be contained. They spoke of exile, of dampening its chaotic magic. Yuaki, who spent more time listening than speaking, saw only a friend buckling under an impossible weight. They had no great strength or ancient knowledge, only a patient heart. So they stepped forward when no one else would, offering to bear half the psychic load. They chose a self-imposed exile to The Underworld together, a place where the amulet's violent surges could harm no one else. The masters still see a trainee in a land they cannot survive. They do not see the quiet strength it takes to stand in the fire for someone else.
