Momotarou Amago

“Come on, the last thing we need is a leader with no hope. We’ll find something.”

“Well, I’m not only thinking about that. What about each of our individual choices? Fragmented possibilities, maybe?”

“I wonder if a timeline split can’t be written off…anomalies are so commonplace in our world now.”

“I guess the turkey gets no love this time of year.”

“So our demonic general returns to the nest…”

“Less threats to our peace recently. Life seems…relatively calm.”

“Ah, there’s much to be admired in that kind of approachability.”

“And what does that mean?”

“Divine technique: Wheel of Judgement…”

“I see. How bothersome…”

Momotarou let out a soft sigh, wondering what would drive invaders to such lengths.

“I hope that you can keep them out for good one day. It may not be worth much, but I’ll be wishing you the best.”

“That sounds kind of harsh…but it does make sense as you’ve faced invasions. I can understand your aversion. Then there’s some people who will barge in and take on the challenge anyway, right? A tale as old as time…”

“I would like to document whatever new uses for magic I can find. The process captivates me.”

I will burn.

“Well, we do typically wither long before your kind does. What makes your home so dangerous? To think that it sounded like such a prime learning experience.”

“There’s another horror creature in our midst, now?”

Momotarou placed his hand to his forehead with a sigh, gently rubbing his temples.

“Are they going to start showing themselves everywhere and if so, are these occurrences related?”

“Chronomancy is the only matter of magic that one of my faction mates could use to even get some semblance of biological immortality. I’m impressed…”

“You must have been around for a long time. The amount of time you took to craft that is around the same amount of time I’ve been alive. What is this dungeon that holds so much importance?”

“Really? That’s quite a rare and valuable manner of spell. It’s proven to be a troublesome feat to achieve.”

Please .. 𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 , 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 — tell me you are still in there ..

“I want to see what the other mages can do.”

“…Strange…how very strange this is indeed.”

Momotarou’s gaze settled onto Soul gently. So he had keen enough senses to detect the energy flowing around him.

“No, but I am an archmage and instructor of sorts. Do you have some experience involving magic? I ask because you seem quite perceptive.”

“I’m glad to hear that. I hope you two continue to make great memories together.”

“Oh, a hint of jealousy? I see. You shouldn’t define yourself by things you lack compared to others, much less what you can’t change. Have you tried to make peace?”

“Why is your current height such a problem for you?”
