Blazing Sun – 04: “Shady Character”

[...]

Background: Oasis

Music: BGM 025

Huey: Here, this is for you, Kuya.

Kuya: Hmm? You disappeared for days without a word for this… a metal hoop?

Huey: Throw it away if you don’t want it.

Kuya: Heh, so now you’re using me to dispose of your unwanted items? At least tell me what this thing is.

Huey: It’s a handle taken from a Night Lantern.

Huey: I left the rest of the lantern somewhere in the desert. Perhaps one day it will have some effect on the area.

Huey: If so, that handle will begin to glow. Feel free to come back and investigate if that day ever comes.

Kuya: But you have no idea when this thing will start to glow, or what might happen?

Huey: Exactly. Even if something happens, there’s no guarantee it’ll be of any interest. Whether you come back to investigate or not isn’t important to me.

Kuya: …

Kuya: … We’ll just have to see what mood I’m in when that day arrives.

Blazing Sun – 06: “Special Guests”

Background: Solaria Sunburst Festival Street (Day)

Music: none.

Many years ago, during one of the Grand Sorcerer’s countless visits to the Fire Territory—

Kuya: So you’re saying… this outfit is specially designed for desert climates?

Kuya glides his fingertips over the fabric and feels an instant cooling sensation spread through his skin.

Stallkeeper: That’s right! This type of fabric keeps you cool in the sun and gives the feeling of a light breeze blowing over every inch of your body.

Kuya: Oh…

Stallkeeper: Gold coins…! Thank you, sir! You have spectacular taste!

Kuya: Hmm… The cooling features are intriguing, but the overall look of the ensemble leaves a lot to be desired.

Background: None

Music: None (Kuya snaps his fingers)

Like a flash, the outfit goes up in a burst of purple foxfire. But rather than turn into ash, it morphs onto Kuya’s body, unrecognizable from its previous form.

Background: Solaria Sunburst Festival Street (Day)

Kuya: Will do nicely. 

Eager traveler: Hey, have you heard…? There’s a rumor going around about an ancient palace filled with treasure and surrounded by a vast oasis somewhere deep in the desert.

Skeptical Traveler: Yeah, I also heard that the treasure is in fact a Night Lantern that can grant any wish. Sounds a bit rich if you ask me. Kuya: (There it is again… I’ve heard that same rumor mentioned several times in the past few days.)

Kuya: A Night Lantern hidden somewhere in the desert…

Kuya turns the handle over his hands as he ponders the rumor spreading throughout the Fire Territory.

Kuya: (Hmm… Could it have something to do with Huey?)

Kuya: Heh… this little thing might just be more interesting than I thought.

A familiar figure passes silently by, his footsteps soft enough that no ordinary person would notice him, but not soft enough to escape the keen hearing of a fox yokai.

Kuya: Slipping away without so much of a word, as usual?

Huey: The altar has been regulated. You can stay here and explore if you like. As for me, I’m leaving.

Kuya: Already?

Huey: Yes, there is nothing here that interests me.

With that, Huey disappears into the shadows amidst the bustle of the marketplace.

Kuya: ……

Kuya: (Perhaps the next time I’m here… I’ll feel the same way.)
