    Summary

    Every child of Sumeru, from Gandharva Ville to Port Ormos, knows that the Dragon nests in the high branches of the Great Tree. The children chant among their skipping games of Rukkadevata, who tamed the great beast before it brought its grief and calamity to wither all the great jungle, of Little Lord Kusanali, daughter of the great goddess, to whom the beast only listens. Their parents gossip about the vast trove of knowledge, hidden in the boughs of the tree, far beyond the reach of any mortal scholar, where only the bravest and wisest may tread and come out alive.

    Some old stories tell of scholars sent up in sacrifice to appease the Dragon’s anger, for when he is moved to fury, only the Dendro Archon can calm him, and when he is moved to sorrow, all the rivers flood and the jungle dies for his loneliness.

    ---

    A fairy-tale-esque story about a beauty, a beast, and of course, about love. No roses necessary.

    Summary

    He’s seen Ifa not even once since the Pyro Archon claimed victory against the Abyss all those weeks ago, their last conversation having transpired on the edge of a battlefield with soot on their faces and a metallic tang heavy in the air.

    Ifa had been angry, then. Ororon thinks it was something he had said.

    For reasons Ororon can't name, Ifa has been avoiding him since the war ended.

    Contrary to popular belief, the greatest enemy of the Stellaron Hunters isn’t the IPC, but rather, malnutrition.

    “He's literally immortal. His skin is perfect anyways.”

    “But all that stress from the Xianzhou made him look a little dull, don't you think?”

    “Uhh, no. Not really.”

     

    Or: The Stellaron Hunters have a spa day. Kafka is delighted, Silver Wolf is annoyed, Blade is comatose, and Firefly is just having fun.

    Summary

    Kaveh has many tendencies that are just fundamentally different from the way Alhaitham sees things. It's not that Alhaitham doesn't understand, but he simply doesn't agree.

    The way he throws his entire heart into the most trivial of things, fully knowing he'll be battered and broken by the time he discovers things weren't as beautiful as he hoped. The way he keeps doing this, despite knowing the risks. The way he won't even consider a single word of advice Alhaitham gives him, just because of its source.

    He tries to place himself in the other man's shoes sometimes, but their interpretations of the important things in life are simply so different, all it amounts to are misunderstandings and slammed doors.

    Alhaitham is just trying to help. Kaveh might not believe him when he says this, but he doesn't like to see Kaveh suffer.

    ---

    OR: Kaveh gets his dreams crushed by a rude old man and Alhaitham is just trying to keep him from getting hurt too much.
