RAZA
I fucking love Torchline in Leafchange.
It isn’t that we have a bunch of trees that turn colorful (though I’ve read about how that happens in other parts of Caido), it’s that after the scorch of Longheat, the cool breezes off the sea brings about a turn in people. Like anyone, we’re susceptible to heat-anger. Very susceptible. Every other night, I swear there’s a fight in the Hanged Man, but as the heat wanes the brawls die down and I’m able to actually fucking relax some nights.
Like tonight. It was a quiet evening, so I shut the bar down early in order to go for a walk and maybe a moonlight swim. Hoa opted to stay home, so I walk alone - but not unprotected - along the coast until I get to the lighthouse. When I was a kid, I was out here alllll the fucking time. Now? Not so much. Life takes over and it’s a heck of a hike from Haulani. I make my way up to the lighthouse, but instead of the solitude I think I’ll find - there’s a woman, touching Aumakua. In a weird way. I make a face.
“You all right?” I call out, planting myself a safe distance away.
