Koa
No trip home would be complete without a visit to Safrin and the Celestine - and no, his brief stop alongside Kaisel doesn't count. He'd been little more than a bystander then, a prop to make his cousin look better in his patroness' eyes. Not that he minded, not at all, but his goddess deserves so much more than a cursory visit. She deserves the entirety of his devotion, commands it, and who is Koa to do aught but oblige?
So the next day he returns to the shrine, except this time alone. Okay, not entirely - Pip is there as well, her summer coat coming sleek and smooth as the last of the spring chill melts away. She carries in her maw a wicker basket; now she sets it beside the shrine, rummaging through its contents with small, deft claws. It takes her a few seconds to find the thing she seeks, but eventually she fishes it out from among the other trinkets and baubles: a lovely, moss-green agate that she'd found in the Stonesong and polished until it glistened in even the faintest light.
Koa watches with pride and fondness as his little dragon sets the treasure gingerly on Safrin's shrine. "Very good," he murmurs when she scurries back to where he kneels down, fingers scratching indulgently between her inky horns. He doesn't know if it has any real value, but to Pipsqueak it is priceless, and that makes it a marvelous gift in the Dragoon's eyes.
For his part the young man hasn't brought an offering so much as a vibe. The shrine is lovely any time of day, all vibrant flowers and rippling water that reflects the skies above. But now as the sun dips beyond the horizon, one altar glows beyond the rest. Koa has spent the last half hour surrounding Safrin's effigy with candles of every shape and size: firelight flickers from water-borne votives and aromatic beeswax and hanging lanterns and silver stands. Kneeling among the incandescence, Koa feels smugly pleased. This is a fitting stage for his goddess to shine on. "I've completed your tasks, Safrin," the young man announces, bronze face aglow in the fading light as he looks hopefully to the space where he anticipates the goddess will appear.
Koa has completed the quest he received in I will crawl like a sinner to be at your feet
- Experience something heavier than expected (interpretation up to you) - talking about relationships/trauma with Zavien: cup with dirt in it
- Complete a training thread while physically weighed down - [Training] budding strength
- Complete a thread where he uses gravity to his advantage - Sledding with Deimos: quiet air is worth some discussion
- Complete a thread where gravity is a disadvantage - Climbing out of a well: beneath the brine
If possible I would like to spend 1650 MP to get his ring at mastered level out the gate, please <3
