Glancing back and forth between the two amused guards, Makhaya seemed to take their amusement towards him in good humor. Jumping off the cart, Makhaya whispered soothingly to his horses before approaching the guards on foot. The gorilla’s attire was made up of unremarkable robes and a banana-shaped pendant he wore around his neck. The only object of note he carried was his staff, which was topped by a golden banana that had must have been polished quite recently given its shine.
“I have heard that your company employs a number of capable individuals who can handle themselves quite well in say… Sticky situations. Who should I speak to here if I wished to hire such an individual?”

"If you are looking to hire someone, you should talk to Rune. You should find him in the stone building still under construction inside the walls, the biggest one," the guard said, pointing behind him through the gate.
A short walk down a straight path from the gate would lead Makhaya straight to where Rune was, through a heavy looking oak door.

“Thank you for your assistance, I shall go speak to this Rune right away in that case. Here, take some of the holy fruit as a sign of my appreciation, you will find it quite nourishing to both body and soul.”
Reaching into his robes, the gorilla produced two bananas that were in absolutely pristine condition. After handing one to each of the guards while intoning the phrase, “The banana has blessed you”, Makhaya started off at a leisurely pace towards the large stone building the guard had indicated to him.
Halting at the large oak door, Makhaya took the moment to freshen himself, pulling a small perfume bottle from his robe. Pouring a small amount of the contents onto one hand, he proceeded to rub it thoroughly into the fur on his head and neck. Once satisfied he had applied a liberal amount of the banana smelling perfume, he pushed open the oaken door and entered the room, curiously scanning the room for the man named Rune.

"Oh thank you kind sir!" the lead guard said taking both of the bananas as his partner just now started recovering from his laughing fit.
As Makhaya walked away he might overhear the guards speak a few words before he went beyond earshot, "What kind of fruit are these? The skin on them is pretty tough." He would also hear some loud chewing sounds as well, it seems the guards didn't know to peel the banana before eating it.
A short time later Makhaya was applying banana perfume and opening the heavy wooden door to the main stone building of Naimon Headquarters, and through that door, he would witness the final moments of an epic clash.
On one side of a heavy wooden desk sat a man larger than perhaps any Makhaya has ever seen. The man seemed easily north of seven feet tall, and heavily built. The huge muscles in his arms bulged with exertion as he arm-wrestled his opponent, none other than the pink haired owner of the Naimon Company, Rune Naimon IV. They seemed to be at a standstill at the moment, both locked in a stalemate with both arms straight up.
Just as Makhaya walked in, he would be able to hear Rune exclaim, "Aha! I have a guest! Time to end this!" This was followed by a cacophony of sounds - a loud grunt of exertion from the large man, the cracking and splintering of wood, and the fluttering of fallen documents as Rune slammed the large man's arm down, the brute force of bout's climax breaking the heavy oaken desk in half.
Thankfully, no one seemed to be injured.
"Whoops... I broke another desk," Rune said, frowning as he looked at it, "Nice try, Gregor, but it's time to pay up."
The man's face was red with frustration, but he begrudgingly dug into his coin pouch and tossed a gold coin Rune's way, before turning around and leaving.
"Well... that was certainly an interesting scene to walk into, now wasn't it?" Rune said, flipping the gold coin up in the air and catching it as he leaned back in his ornate chair, "I am Rune Naimon the Fourth."

Makhaya watched the scene before him unfold, his eyes squinting as the fight was finished in an unusual turn of events, at least from his perspective. How had the much smaller man won the arm wrestling contest so effortlessly? Makhaya immediately chastised himself for his silly thoughts, he had allowed them to wander over something so obvious. Putting so much stock in physical appearance was a foolish thing to do after all. As it was said, while the peel might be pristine and ripe, the flesh beneath can be rotten and foul.
“It was indeed, Master Rune! Although I have only just met you, with feats such as those I have a feeling you are someone the Great One favors. I am Makhaya, the Prophet of the Order of the Banana. I was told at the gate you were the one I should talk to regarding my business here.”
The gorilla walked forward as he spoke, his soft, kindly gaze directed at Rune as he approached the young man. Rune would smell the strong scent of bananas coming off him, primarily from the perfume he had just applied. His staff clicked on the floor in time with Makhaya’s steps before he finally halted in front of Rune’s newly broken desk. His gaze wandered down to the desk, his brow wrinkling as he appraised it.
“Before I get down to business, would you mind if I repurposed your desk? I’d hate for such materials to be put to waste.”

Age: 19
Physical Description: Rune is an androgynous young man, easily described as beautiful as he leans more on the feminine side. He is 164cm (5'4") tall and weighs 56kg (123lbs). His hair and eyes are noteworthy features, their colors bright and dazzling, yet unnatural. His hair is a light pink and his eyes a vivid purple. His hair is very long, reaching to his waist. He commonly wears his hair in an elaborate braid with various ribbons.
***
Clothes and Equipment: Rune usually wears an elaborate set of ornate armor that seems to be rather lacking as far as pure protection goes, foregoing such elements for more aesthetic purposes in some areas. Along with this he wears a white furry cloak. One should note that his armor is adorned with numerous magical enchantments.
At his belt he wears a simple sword, though it is also a heavily enchanted weapon with the ability to reshape itself extensively, such as into different weapons.

Rune waved his hand dismissively, “You can have the scraps of wood left over if you so desire them, though it surprises me that you would want them. I was thinking of burning it.”
Rune propped one elbow on the arm of the chair then, tilting his head slightly as he leaned it on his palm and looked across the broken desk at Makhaya, “You even smell like bananas... interesting. Anyways! Down to business,” he said, exclaiming suddenly as sitting up again, “What sort of services do you need from The Naimon Company?”

“The Great One willing, it can be transformed into something much more useful than firewood.”
Clasping his hands together, the gorilla bowed his head somberly in silence for a moment. It happened in an instant, one moment there was the remains of the desk, the next there was a sizable pile of bananas, each one looking like it had just been picked from the tree.
“Please distribute this holy fruit to your men, you will find it will sate the appetite of even the hungriest in your employ. Now, as for why I have come here… I am in need of a skilled bodyguard for myself. Although I’d prefer for our Order to be completely self-sufficient, the skills I’m looking for in someone to protect me are not common in our group, we are a peaceful religion after all! Still, other members of our Order have expressed concerns for my safety, specifically when I am traveling around and spreading our teachings to whoever will listen. As you can guess, not everyone looks kindly upon our Order, some even willing to resort to violence to stop us.”
Leaning down, Makhaya picked up one of the bananas on the floor, peeling back the skin and taking a big bite out of it. He chewed thoughtfully for a moment before continuing his line of thought.
“I’ve asked around quite a bit during my recent travels, and when it came to services that I could use to find myself a bodyguard, the Naimon Company was mentioned quite a few times. From the rumors I've heard, your organization is also one of the more honorable ones in this line of work."

As Rune watched the pile of bananas appear in place of the desk he smiled widely, “Oh! I love bananas!” he exclaimed, taking one and peeling it and eating it. It seemed Rune was accustomed to such luxuries as exotic fruits.
Chewing a banana he got to the matter at hand now, “You need a skilled bodyguard, eh? Well normally I would send one of my men, but today you’re in luck. You seem interesting enough that I will personally accompany you. After all there is no rules against the owner of a mercenary company going out on contracts himself. Anyways... that’ll be fifty gold per month and the first payment is due right away.”

Makhaya nodded sagely as Rune eagerly ate one of the blessed fruits. Although this boy was young in years and womanly in appearance, he clearly possessed much wisdom to consume the blessed fruit without hesitation. Perhaps this was a sign from the Great One that this was the correct man for the job.
“It pleases me to hear that you will personally be willing to take up this job. As it is said, those who cultivate bananas for others but do not partake themselves are untrustworthy. You are clearly someone who is willing to do whatever you require of your own men personally, a trait that I’ve noticed has become less uncommon in recent times.”
Reaching into his robe, Makhaya pulled out five solid gold bananas, offering them to Rune for inspection.
“I believe that you will find this to be worth at least fifty gold, if not a bit more. Of course, you’ll want to inspect them, but you will find they’re solid gold through and through. But wait, there’s more!”
Reaching into his robe once more, Makhaya pulled out what appeared to be another golden banana, identical to the others except it was only one third the size. Tapping on the stem region of the golden fruit to draw Runes attention to it, the gorilla twisted it to the left, revealing that it unscrewed off. Underneath was something resembling a perfume nozzle embedded into the golden sculpture.
“Please accept this in addition to the gold as a token of my appreciation. It is some of the finest perfume available from my Order, the same quality that we use when anointing someone.”

"Yes..." Rune chewed the last of his banana, "This payment will do juuuust fine."
Rune tossed the peel over his shoulder into a bin nearby sitting next to the broken desk now turned a pile of bananas. He took the gold and perfume and immediately began inspecting the perfume, taking a sniff of it curiously.
"Ah, this smells very good... I might use it sometime. Anyways, now that payment is settled, where we off to?" Rune asked, as he put away the gold and perfume into a small red velvet bag he had with him. The perfume and gold disappeared within completely despite being much bigger than the bag itself.

Clapping his hands twice together in a rather business-like manner at Rune’s acceptance of payment, Makhaya pauses for a moment at the young man's question. There were many places he wished to bring his faith to, yet there was only one of him. His fellow priest and followers were quite capable, but he couldn’t risk sending them to potentially dangerous places without his guidance… Yes, he would leave his followers to spread the word in Isra, while he would take the narrow path.
“We shall be traveling to Toragana. I know little about the place, but the rumors I hear is that it is an isolated region. It is my duty to spread the good word far and wide. That is why I wish to travel to such a faraway land, a place that would have never been able to receive instructions and blessings from The Great One. It will be quite the journey there, but I have faith in both my followers and the vessel they have constructed. After all, what harm could befall us in a vessel that’s shape was inspired by the holy fruit itself! I wish to make haste as soon as possible, I shall be waiting for you outside this compound by the gate, when you have gathered what supplies you need to bring with you, meet me there.”
Offering a wave of farewell and flashing Rune a blindingly white smile, the gorilla strolled out of the room, the overwhelming scent of bananas likely something that would inhabit this room for weeks to come.
