CHAPTER SUMMARY
A long time ago, Demetria’s family captured Zephyr, the spirit of air, to gain the wind's favor for founding their hamlet. Demetria is deeply ashamed but rationalizes Zephyr’s captivity as a necessary evil for the community.
She feels undeserving of love from the villagers and overlooks that the spirits themselves have nurtured resentment over centuries. This accumulated power means they are poised to wipe the entire hamlet out.
Mya, a child of the hamlet, has lost her cat, Ruby. Their usual play area was near the edge of the forest, and Mya is understandably afraid that Ruby got lost.
Fang is shown to be a loving father who lost his cherished cub during the last harsh winter. It is revealed that Ruby is actually the child of this powerful feline, reborn as a cait sith. In the forest heart, the heroes may witness a tender reunion between father and daughter.
If the group tries to retrieve Ruby, Fang will offer no mercy. The outcome depends heavily on the Player Characters' decisions and potentially on Ruby’s own intervention. Key questions arise: Does she remember her previous life? Can any PC (possibly a Chimerist) communicate with her? How will Mya react to this tense situation?
“This isn’t a land of warriors and conquerors. We breathe the wind and live in harmony and with patience, following the old tradition.”
