Chimper #3249
Mihoka remembered the shimmer of the Grand Glimmerfin's scales, each one a tiny sunset reflected in the plaza's ceremonial tank. It was their first real guardian assignment in Waterfall City: watch the fish. Simple. But their partner Kiraha swore they saw a frog selling a map to a legendary wok, and the five-minute distraction turned into an hour-long negotiation. When they returned, the tank was empty, save for a single, smug-looking lily pad. They lost the city's prized fish. In their frantic search, however, they stumbled upon a hidden cache of stolen armaments under the main stairs, accidentally foiling a smuggling ring. Though the fish was never seen again, Mihoka was hailed as a hero. The majestic beard helps sell the story that it was all part of a clever plan.
