Fudeko

The fishers down by the boats in Waterfall City swear Fudeko is the city's fiercest guardian, a warrior with a gaze that could halt a tidal wave. The merchants in the plaza have a different tale; they'll tell you Fudeko once traded a sacred amulet for a pot of blackberry jam and got it all over their robes. The children whisper that their intense focus is just them trying to remember where they left their lunch. But ask the old temple guards what they saw when the Emperor’s legion marched on the city. They don’t mention a warrior. They just describe a chimp with a sticky face, and a sudden, terrifying magic that felt as ancient and absolute as Tora themself.
