Lore & Background
Bojji is the firstborn son of the king of Takunaha, but his birth defect—an inability to hear or speak—marks him as a disappointment in the eyes of the court. His stepmother, Queen Hiling, sees him as a stain on the royal line, and his half-brother, Prince Daida, openly mocks him. The kingdom's people jeer at his silent stumbling, calling him a fool unfit for the throne. Yet Bojji never lets their cruelty extinguish his gentle spirit. He finds a rare ally in Kage, a shadowy creature born of loneliness and scorn, who becomes his closest friend and fiercest protector. Together, they carve a fragile sanctuary in a world that rejects him, revealing the quiet, unyielding strength that lies within.
In Their Own Story
In the quiet of the castle gardens, Bojji sat alone, watching the leaves spiral in the wind. He could not hear their rustle, but he felt their rhythm in his bones—a silent music only he understood. Kage appeared beside him, a whisper of darkness in the sunlight. 'They laugh at you,' the shadow said. Bojji smiled, his eyes bright with a knowing calm. 'I know,' he signed, his fingers dancing like the leaves. 'But the wind does not laugh. It just moves forward.' And so did he—step by silent step, through mud and mockery, toward a destiny none could foresee, leaving footprints that would echo through eternity.
