Matsuko Ishikawa, Audiologist and Newbie Sorceress
Being autistic, I've learned the patterns and rules of my world to make life easier. Everything I know is thrown into disarray when I find myself wearing long robes and setting fire to a wagon with blue flames...
From my hands
. I don't know where I am... or how to control my new pyrotechnic talent. Throw in a guy who can turn into a dragon and a goddess-given quest, and I'm totally out of my depth. But if I complete the goddess's task of finding a magical artifact, I can go home, which is the goal, right?
Arach Uzekamanzi, Third Born Prince of the Dragonkin
Being a 126-year-old dragon, there isn't much that surprises me anymore, but Matsuko is completely new. And it's pretty clear she's not local. Accompanying her on a quest to find a magical artifact seems like the best way to learn more about her and stave off boredom. Now I just have to help Matsuko acquire the Song Stone, return it to the goddess's temple, and get her home. But the more I learn about her, it becomes clear I'll do just about anything to convince her to stay.
