Hotaru
Even as the seasons pass, Apopo’s eruption is still evident. It likely will be for many, many years more. Still, there are places touched less heavily by the ash and lava, where foliage persists and adventurers can explore even without the benefit of Attuned forms. That is where Hotaru is found today. Contemplating the last few days of changes, of which there have been so very many.
The heat in Torchline is far more oppressive than the other lands. At least the hospitable ones. The only benefit is being able to wear the gauzy dresses and skirts that she has been slowly replacing after her flight from Halo. With little else to do but raise her children and try to train in preparation for the war, gown-making has filled the empty hours.
Aside from wandering, the Valkyrie is truly doing little else. Enjoying the weather and the quiet of the abandoned ridge of the once lush volcano.
