Chimper #996
What does a wanderer with a thief's eyes seek in a place where magic is as common as stone? Ask the apprentice magicians in The Crystal Highlands of Armaria, and theyโll whisper that Tsukiwa steals secrets, not gems. They claim those dark lenses can see the echoes of forgotten spells lingering in the air. The old gem-cutters just laugh. To them, Tsukiwa is a quiet soul who appreciates a good sunset and knows which stones hold the warmest light after dusk. But one traveler saw something else. They saw Tsukiwa sitting with the beast-slayer Yuki as the first snows fell, not a word passing between them, sharing the profound silence of winter. Perhaps what Tsukiwa truly collects is not for a treasure chest.
