((Move to Fe'gan Mountains when the event ends))
It began as an ordinary day. Then again, most things did.
Farmers rose early, often before dawn, and Rygar rose earlier than that; he didn't like to get in the way while he was exercising. Dawn was an hour or two off, but in the heat of Sekudui, it was clammy and warm despite the darkness. Rygar stepped outside and began panting almost immediately. Running in such cloying heat would be excellent for building his stamina.
He set off down the perimiter of the Yingshee grazing fields, legs in perfect stride. He stared up into the night sky, taking in the stars while his heart raced.
But... he did not remember those stars. Nor the colors swirling between them.
And he had certainly never heard that voice before.
Come with me, the night whispered. Prove yourself. Show your might. Come with me.
