I get knocked down, but I get up again
Loren hadn't been in Torchline for over a year. Even after receiving word that Remi and Ronin were gone and the healer's ban was lifted, he'd stayed away. However, news that Ludo's doll competition was being held along the coast drew the Firebrand.
Holding his own bundle of cloth, wood, and paint, he made his way down the water's edge, heading for the darkness in the distance. When he entered it, his eye widened as he saw the souls flowing through it. They led him to a bonfire where dolls rested. Sunjata and a vaguely familiar looking man were already there.
Not wanting to approach the Governor, Loren just sent the Flood a brief mental message. Hey. How...how are you? Bending down, the healer tapped into his summoning magic. A monkey and two birds appeared. The monkey slid the doll over its body as the birds took some of the trailing cloths hanging off the robe it wore, making them flutter. The face painted onto the mask wasn't Ludo's normal one, but had thick red lips and luscious eyebrows.
It was the god as the Firebrand had first seen it: impersonating Safrin in a play led by Amalia. Hopefully Ludo appreciated the memory as much as the doll itself. The animals danced forward, acting out the exaggerated motions of the play.
