Kazuchi

One falsified report, two hundred lives ruined, and a cane carved from a splintered gatepost. Kazuchi was once the fastest courier in The Teikodian Empire, their pride tied to the speed of their deliveries. They never questioned the crimson wax seals, only the efficiency of the route. The dispatch they carried felt no heavier than any other, a simple rerouting order for a supply train. But the cargo was not supplies; it was refugees. And the new route led them directly into a Soul Chaser ambush. The injury that necessitated the cane came later, a foolish attempt to find survivors. These days, the Lightspeed Suit feels like an ironic memory. They still carry messages, but their intellect is no longer used for finding the quickest path. A delayed report here, a 'lost' parcel there—small acts of sabotage that will never bring back the dead but might keep others from joining them.
