Chicken adventure!

Nojo the strongest wizard of last year narrowed his eyes, for he had faced many opponents in his long and distinguished career, but never one whose power source was, as best he could tell, an extremely confident attitude toward being a chicken. Lord Coconut Shrimp, for his part, simply blinked, which is the chicken equivalent of an extremely meaningful pause. It was, by any measure, the most unsettling thing Nojo had ever seen — not because it was threatening, but because it suggested that Lord Coconut Shrimp had somewhere more important to be.

It was at this point that Lord Coconut Shrimp turned around, walked four paces in the opposite direction, and then turned back — apparently satisfied with something only he could see. The air around Lord Coconut Shrimp had begun to glow — faintly at first, the color of a very old yolk, and then brighter, and brighter still, in a shade that had no name in any wizard's grimoire because nothing had ever been that color before and survived long enough to be catalogued.
