Tayuta

The Swiftest Feet in Waterfall City. The fishers at the bottom of the falls will tell you Tayuta can outrun the spray, a blur in a lightspeed suit who once carried a warning that prevented a coastal raid. Merchants in the plaza near the great fish statue laugh at that. It wasn’t a warning, they argue, but an urgent trade manifest that secured a vital grain shipment. Only the silent keepers of the pale stone temple know the truth: the delivery was neither. It was a single, hand-drawn map to a hidden gateway, delivered just in time to a Panda Council diplomat. Tayuta never tells their side. They just check the edge of their katana, tighten their white bandana, and wait for the next scroll. The stories are heavier than any package.
