Hekirou

Should one seek the chimper who charts the unchartable paths of The Underworld, they would first find their data trails. They would see a memory flicker across the raspberry-pink visor: two young chimps, Kimiwa and Hekirou, promising to see every realm together under an Overworld sky. Then, a flash of their first descent years later. The air thick with ash, their exclamation lost in the sudden crimson glow. Hekirou, alone, visor scanning a lava flow as a small, shivering creature climbed onto their head and refused to leave. Finally, the chimper of today: one hand on their trusty katana, the other adjusting a receiver. The maps are for Kimiwa. The path home must be safe.
