Chimper #87
One missed delivery. Seven fallen wizards. A prophecy they can't outrun. Ourei was once the swiftest courier in The Crystal Highlands of Armaria, their radiant wings a blur against the sunset-painted monoliths. They carried a warning of a coming attack but arrived just moments too late, finding only silence and ruin. The failure shattered their confidence. Desperate, they sought out the water pools of Horoguramu, only to see their own disaster reflected back at themโa foretold tragedy. The oracle's vision, however, offered a second path: the wings of the messenger could become the shield of a guardian. Since then, Ourei has abandoned speed for vigilance. They no longer drop a message and fly on; they stay, their wings held ready, until the danger has passed.
