After the great heroes left and the dust settled, Tsuyuha was given the quiet, inglorious task of guarding The Dragon Wastelands. Their orders were simple: observe the phantom illusions, report on the weather, and keep wanderers out. For months, they performed their duty with a rigid discipline befitting their rank. Then came the night of the twin moons' eclipse, when the fog grew so thick it felt solid. A family of traders, hopelessly lost, stumbled upon their post. Protocol was clear. But looking at their frightened faces, Tsuyuha made a different choice. They lit the guiding lanterns on their back, and the warm, steady glow pushed back the gloom. They walked them to the valley's edge, creating a small, safe pocket of light in a land of sorrow. That night, they found a purpose far greater than any order.
