The salmon on Tosumi’s head was meant to be lunch, not a declaration of war. They were visiting The Crystal Highlands of Armaria to have their katana’s balance checked when a nearby wizard’s experiment went awry. A stray spell, intended to animate a rock golem, instead hit Tosumi’s snack. The fish fused to their head and a splash of strawberry milk became a permanent mark on their fur. Too proud to admit the embarrassing truth, Tosumi carried on with their stoic demeanor. When their rival, Katana, arrived for a sparring match, they saw not an accident, but a profound new martial style. Convinced it was an advanced focus technique, Katana now studies river currents, certain they are on the verge of deciphering a legendary fighting form.
