Magosaburou

How do you trust your own eyes in a city built on gilded lies? Magosaburou learned the answer in a supposedly secure corridor of The Teikodian Empire. They were a trainee on guard duty, a simple post, when the transformed warrior Sakkaku approached. The figure didn't offer a threat, but a shortcut: a mottled mushroom that promised a month's worth of training in a single night. It was a tempting prize for one so determined to advance. As Magosaburou reached for it, the world dissolved. The gold-leaf walls became damp stone, the polished marble floor turned to dirt, and the guarded door vanished entirely. They had been watching nothing, a diversion while the real theft occurred three levels above.
