Shunsuke

Three days after the Crimson Monolith cracked, the wizards of The Crystal Highlands of Armaria claimed it was the hum from Shunsuke’s Dragonslayer Blade that did it. They whisper that the sword is cursed, that it thirsts for the ambient magic of the region. They see a weapon in a haori. The owner of the noodle stall by the glowing cliffs sees something else entirely. They see a quiet customer who arrives at the same time every evening, rain or shine, and orders the same spicy broth. The stall owner notices the red fox beanie, not the legendary sword leaning against a stool. They see how Shunsuke’s unamused expression is just intense concentration, focused entirely on the noodles. Shunsuke never clarifies which story is true.
