Sukekazu braced their carved cane against the slick stones of the plaza, watching their partner haggle fiercely with a frog merchant over the price of river pearls. The other traders in Waterfall City knew Sukekazu as a quiet guard, the white bandana a simple mark of their post. They didn't know about the power that slept inside them, a chaotic, otherworldly energy akin to that wielded by the infamous Itame. Sukekazu didn't know either, until the day the old pier collapsed. To save the very merchant they now watched with a fond smile, they had unleashed it. The resulting surge saved a life but cost them a leg and left a scar across their face. Their partner carved the cane, each swirl a line in a story only they shared. People called them "the Arcane" now, but the grip on the cane was just a reminder of a hand they were glad to hold.
