Stretching his arms above his head, Tighnari let out a yawn while stepping foot outside of his house, greeting the morning light shining down on Gandharva Ville. His patrols around the Sumeru Rainforest went as usual until he noticed a strange flower blooming deep within the bushes.

"This is new..."

He crouched down on the grass and reached his hand out, carefully studying the petals along with the sepals, stamens, and carpels. While he was examining the roots, a sudden noise from afar caught his attention, breaking the surrounding silence as Tighnari's ears twitched and perked up.

The forest ranger quickly straightened up before dusting off his clothes. Tighnari made his way through the trees and bushes toward the source of the sound, his mind swirling with what-ifs the closer he got to the sound.
