Megami

The keeper of the light for the Demon is an anxious soul. While navigating the slick, crowded stairs of Waterfall City, Megami’s guiding lanterns sway with every nervous step they take. Locals see a chimper in service to a terrifying entity, their uneasy expression a clear sign of servitude. They are not entirely wrong. Megami handles the bartering for supplies and asks for directions, their voice a timid whisper against the roar of the falls, while Shinpi remains a silent, masked shadow behind them. But others don't see the small things: Shinpi blocking a careless shove from a guard, or waiting patiently when Megami fumbles with a map. Megami's eyes flicker with a power that is not their own—a constant, draining link to the being they serve, and the only force in the world that makes them feel safe.
