LIGHT

Warmth, love and kindness.
The Life Stream glimmers and glitters with joy, swirls of shimmering dust dancing around the ray of life.
It was time for new ones to test their wings.


One by one, new adventurers now arrive in the Tree. As one gain wings and rises to the second floor, another light brings in the next person. Soon, a steady stream of people from all kinds of worlds, times and realities come to join the others. Whether confused, angry, excited or scared, your arrival is welcomed with nothing but joy as the fireflies and glow worms descend to greet their new friends.

The Tree offers no explanation and no reason, but the truth is undeniable.

As you will soon realize, it isn't easy to be tiny.

[ And notice Steven does. There's something about a cool robo-bug thing and a cool, mysterious waving dude flying it around that appeals to his natural sensibilities. The sensibilities of finding out more about cool robo-bugs and the mysterious waving dudes who fly them.

Simplicity is often key with Steven. Link's little wave is more than enough acknowledgement for him to head over. ]

Hey! So that's your little robot thing? I can't say I expected to see a lot of machines when I got here.

[Lucky for the both of them, Link's a pretty simple guy. ...Despite the whole legendary-hero business, but that's for another time!]

Hello..!

[He nods, letting the Beetle flutter on back to rest on his wrist.]

He's good for getting into small spaces. Though... I guess now we are, too?

[That's the thing that takes the most getting used to, he figures-- being this tiny...]

[gempathic]

[ Steven laughs. ]

Yeah, I think we are. Unless this is just a really big tree. Now we might need his help for getting into even smaller spaces, though. That could really come in handy, right?

[sleepwardsnored]

Mm. I've seen some big trees, but... have you been outside? Everything out there is really big, too...! [It's interesting, in a sort-of-alarming way!]

You've got a point, though. I have a feeling he'll still have a lot to do around here, even if he's not the only one with wings anymore.

[gempathic]

I haven't been outside yet. But it's good to know everything else is giant and not just this tree. That's probably very important information that'll help us solve this mystery someday! [ he brings a hand to his chin and nods very officially. It's all coming together. ]

[sleepwardsnored]

Mm, probably. [Link mirrors the movement, though his nodding's a bit more subdued. He's quiet for a second, then--]

...I wonder if it's that... everything around here is big, or we really have gotten smaller. And if that's the case...!

[How would they get back to their regular size again?! He can't ride Loftwing if he's butterfly-sized, can he?!]

[gempathic]

Being this small forever would cause me some pretty big problems back home. [ He could probably still technically do a lot of the stuff he normally does. There's still no way the Gems would let him handle missions like this.

He guesses donuts being giant would be pretty cool... no, after a while, the novelty would be bound to wear off. Even for him. Lion might step on him. None of his other clothes would fit. No, this is one of those times where something would be more of a con than a pro. ]

There has to be some way we can know for sure. If this is a big part of our future, we need to be ready to work around it. Or to find out how to fix it.
