Kagome was supposed to be a ghost. Their mission in The Crystal Highlands of Armaria was simple: retrieve a stolen focusing crystal with absolute discretion. But the ninja mask, meant for stealth, and the meow cap, a baffling choice for โblending in,โ caused a critical misunderstanding. The Rock Wizards expecting a famed storyteller for their festival saw Kagome and assumed the show was starting early. They were handed a riddle meant for children: "Find the rock that hums when the sun is highest." Taking it as a master-level cipher, Kagome spent a full day analyzing acoustic resonance patterns among the monoliths. Their calculations led them directly to the thiefโs workshop. They recovered the gem, leaving the target tied up with a note that read, โFound it.โ The wizards still rave about the storytellerโs bizarrely effective method acting.
