The other fighters in the highlands claim Soukanrou’s war paint is mixed from crushed, magical stones and their furious gaze can shatter a crystal monolith from a hundred paces. They say the red bow is a trophy, taken from a fallen champion in a duel that shook the very mountains. If you ever got them alone, however, as the sun painted the sky in brilliant hues, they’d confess the truth. The 'war paint' is a stubborn stain from a blackberry tart they ate last week. The 'furious' eyes are mostly from squinting to see if their bow is perfectly symmetrical. And the wrinkles? From a lifetime of worrying if their outfit clashes with the sunset. The only battle they truly wage is against a loose thread.
