Yesterday, dying from his grueling job. Today, a champion of an entire kingdom. Togashi was already dying from the fumes destroying his lungs, so it made perfect sense to take the blame when his friend killed someone in self-defense. Togashi thought he would be executed, not flown into the wilderness to begin a new kingdom. The Asmir had been taught that all the kingdoms of Creosha had been destroyed, but, after a few days of serving Elasha, the goddess of the moon, he has learned that the world is filled with other races.
