Sengorou the Awakened

Sengorou did not come to Waterfall City to put down roots. Their life was a collection of river maps and sunset sketches, a blur of motion documented in a worn book. They believed meaning was found in distance, in the next horizon. But in the city's plaza, they saw Tamago, the Shell Warrior, a being of absolute stillness, and their journey abruptly ended. Sengorou stopped wandering. They began spending their days near the primordial egg, not speaking, but sharing the space. They sketched the ancient patterns on the shell, finding entire landscapes in its whorls. The love that grew was not of grand gestures, but of shared silence and patient vigil. They had traveled everywhere and seen nothing; now, sitting still, they saw everything.
