Or, we go with the setting that gives everyone the most amount of freedom: Butterflies are mysterious creatures drawn to certain people. Tah-dah.

Here's another: the butterfly is the physical manifestation of (fighting) spirit.

*makes a custom quest* *realises that it might be better if the fulfiller of the custom quest was an NPC* Alright, time to do my own custom quest.

Suffering is eternal. Yorokobe, shounen.

When in doubt, go for the 800-year old dragon.

*chuckle* There’s a fairy in all of us, true. Some may find it easier to locate than others, but that’s how it is sometimes. It’s not a shame for butterflies to dream of becoming fairies someday.

Finally got off my ass and wrote the prologue.
