Dreams of the Quill

Hanabi, the mentor of Suigeki, lived for more than two hundred years as an Elementalist after defeating her own mentor in the cycle. After several years of training and traveling together, Suigeki kills her and moves the cycle along. After she dies, he props her up and gives her a special burial- a rain shower.

Comments on the piece: First sketch of an FtP female. Hanabi doesn’t actually appear in the story, but she’s still an important character in that her existence continues to affect Suigeki’s actions to this day.
