'What can I do with this power?' Tsukigami asked, staring down at his callused hands. Bright lunar regolith sand spewed out of them moments before. The pain from the force lingered in Tsukigami's hands.

An older woman with her hair pinned up in a styled bun held her hands behind her back. 'As explained before, you'll use these powers in favor of the king,' she said, her voice as monotone as ever. Tsukigami looked up at her, taking in the grandmotherly look she produced.

'Don't get full of yourself now, Tsukigami,' the older woman walked over to him, grabbing a sheet covering something long. 'I've gotten Yukio to craft this staff out of heaven's very own materials.'

She placed the wrapped staff in Tsukigami's hand. Then she took a step back, watching him closely.

Tsukigami slowly unwrapped the staff, setting the cloth on a nearby table. The staff was beautiful. Ipomea Alba stems were driven into the staff's fine wood. Atop it was lunar regolith carved to appear as a waning crescent moon. Inside of that moon was a star, smaller than Tsukigami's hand.

Smiling at the staff, Tsukigami looked at the woman,'Thank you, Sobo.'
