Toujiko

The gem brokers will tell you Toujiko once sold the rights to a sunset. They stood beside their rival, Azuka, as the last light painted the spinning monoliths above the dark fortress. Azuka had spent a fortune acquiring a perfect, glowing crystal that shimmered with captured daylight. But Toujiko hadn’t been watching the gem. Using their specialized lenses, they had studied the geological charts the night before, spotting a vein of photosensitive ore Azuka had dismissed as worthless. Toujiko didn't buy the crystal; they bought the mountain it came from. As Azuka celebrated their prize, Toujiko quietly signed the deed that would make them a fortune every evening for the next century. Azuka has never smiled in their presence since.
