The magnetic pull of Luluhawa Island seemed an inexorable force in Tōga's life, drawing him back time and again, regardless of his far-flung adventures or pressing responsibilities. As a Colonel in the Rune Knights, his duties often tethered him to Era, especially in the wake of Kon's departure. The burden of leadership weighed heavily on his shoulders, demanding his presence more frequently than he'd prefer.
Yet, Tōga's insatiable curiosity and magical prowess constantly beckoned him to explore the vast world beyond. His dual nature as both a seasoned mage and an intrepid adventurer fueled an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, driving him to seek out arcane secrets and uncharted territories. This relentless pursuit of the extraordinary served as a balm to his restless spirit, providing purpose to his perpetual wanderlust.
Amidst his globetrotting escapades, however, the quaint island village of Luluhawa held a unique allure. Perhaps it was the nostalgia of his first roots outside his native Joya, or the sense of belonging that had blossomed over countless visits. Whatever the reason, Luluhawa had etched itself deeply into the embroidery of Tōga's existence, rivaling even Era in its significance to the Dragon Slayer.
As Tōga strolled through the familiar streets, a kaleidoscope of memories washed over him. The gentle sea breeze tousled his vibrant pink hair, carrying with it the mingled scents of tropical blooms and salty ocean spray. His heterochromatic gaze drank in the island's vibrant tableau: lush vegetation, pristine beaches, and the harmonious blend of local culture with the excited chatter of tourists.
