Rennosuke

The Reluctant Oracle of the Amber Woods—a title Rennosuke tried to correct at every opportunity—was really just a chimp on a very important quest. A quest to find a way to stop their toast from burning. Convinced the problem was mystical, they set off into The Heart of the Forest to seek guidance from Aki. The apple stick on their back was not a shaman’s staff, but a skewer from a failed attempt at roasting fruit. The jam on their face was not a holy mark, but breakfast. Yet their single-minded focus was mistaken for profound wisdom. When they finally stood before Aki and explained their plight, the ancient spirit listened patiently. “The answer is not in the flame,” Aki said sagely, “but in the spread. A thicker layer of jam hides the burnt bits every time.”
