Your names Chitso Samake, you’re an water elemental of the Empire Ossuka guild. Elementals are people born with an exceptional amount of chi that has imitated a single source and can then be uses to form what’s called techniques. You have two best friends named Burendan and Ruisus! I think your favourite food with is beef ribs if I recall! You love plays! And your cursed!

Wait! The curse thing! Just what is that about
Panel 2: Genevieve presses her chin with her finger.
Genevie
Well I don’t know a lot about how. But I do know what you have is called the Kiton curse. The Kiton curse is normally made when love doesn’t work out between a Kiton and someone from a different race. It happens instinctively so Kiton don’t do it on purpose. But anyways, the person whose curse is meant to die in agonising pain. You didn’t though.

Any idea why?

Oh yeah you’re right!
Page 32 (5 panels)

Genevieve
My names Genevieve Bubbles. I’m also a member of the Ossuka Empire guild or at least I’m under protection by it. I’m a Forest spirit, a being who is literally the spirit of the forest. I’m what keeps it a live and growing.
Panel 2: Chitso looks at her stunned.
Chitso
Uh, wow. So why were those Horoshi hunters attacking you?
Panel 3: Genevieve stands depressed.
Genevieve
Sigh, most likely to get rid of the forest. There are people who wish to build things like houses, forts and all kind of things Forest spirit lands. Real power, like the government, won’t protect us because we don’t live in settlements and choose to live in the wilds, not like we have that choice. So we have to rely on the elemental guilds for protection oh.
Panel 4: Chitso sits nodding.

Chitso
And somehow this guy’s my friend
Panel 5: Genevieve holds up her hands.
Genevieve
Yeah, I don’t know why either. But right now he’s the best you’ve got for restoring your memories. He’s the only psychic I know that would be willing.
