On the night the monoliths wept violet light, Tsuruna’s mission to steal a wizard’s temporal research ended in a flash of raw magic. The explosion didn't just kill them; it unmade them, twisting their form into a grotesque mockery crowned with the head of a salmon. It was Kodama who found the smoldering remains amidst the shattered crystals of The Crystal Highlands of Armaria, performing a desperate, forbidden rite to bind Tsuruna’s furious spirit back to the body. They were saved, but not restored. Now, Tsuruna is a silent, hulking shadow, their Mega Sabre a tool of brute force, not finesse. The growl in their throat is the only answer they can give when Kodama asks if they remember their own name.
