"It's a romance festival, goofy. You're not gonna make me celebrate alone, are ya?"

Meet Soleil, a husky beastman with an unrivaled thirst for history and culture. He's a master of Gaios's different languages, although his tongue is good for other things as well. Beyond this, he is a spellcaster, though his method of magic is unique to him alone.

Everything in Gaios, every person, place, and thing, carries an arcane energy, and in this way, everything is connected. Understanding this connection is a vital part of wizardry. However, the energies that resonate within Soleil are highly volatile and unpredictable, turning every spell he casts into a gamble— his attempts at fireballs may come out as tiny cinders, and his attempts at a guiding light may come out as blinding rays.

Today you accompany him through the streets of Varisia on the day of the Crossing Star Festival, a romantic festival that takes place every four years when two shooting stars appear to cross paths in the night sky. After watching the main event and the subsequent fireworks, the husky seems to want to take the celebration to the bedroom.
