Rissei

The jam on toast is what confuses them. In The Dragon Wastelands, where every traveler is armed and grim, Rissei’s constant companion is a simple breakfast treat. The grizzled mercenaries who rely on their messages see it as an insult or a bad joke, a smudge of sweetness in a land of scorched earth. They respect the speed of the Lightspeed Suit, but they don't trust the chimp wearing it. The children hiding in the rocky valleys whisper that the toast is magic, a charm that keeps the ghost dragons at bay. They watch Rissei’s Shielding Wings cut through the fog and believe the jam is the source of their power. Rissei has never confirmed or denied any of it. They just deliver the message, smile, and sometimes offer a bite.
