Hello hello mythsters. Today is a very sad day. Anike hasn’t been feeling well all week and will not be able to record with me. That’s right. You’re stuck with me. Your ears are at my mercy. I shall try to behave, but I can make no promises, of course.
Since Anike didn’t want to miss out on all the fun we’ll be having in South East Asia, we agreed that I would do a bit of a bonus episode for you instead.
If you joined us on our Japanese excursion, you may remember us mentioning the kappa. Now, since kappa are not actually dragons, we didn’t delve deeper in the episode, but we did do a side quest in the form of a Patreon exclusive post. Today, you get the audio version. Our way of apologising for the delay in our travels to South East Asia.
While the blog was originally a Patreon exclusive, we’ve unlocked it in case you prefer to read along or need a transcript. Click here to check it out.
Later Mythsters!
