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.

"Certainly!" Fuu pressed her hands together and smiled. "And if we run into any dangers out there, one of us will be able to warn the other."

[ladiesknight]

Kyle made his way over to the entrance, where a golden web was spread over the door to the outside. Nevertheless, he was able to pass through without incident, and after a moment's hesitation, that was just what he did.

"Now this is a tree..."

[monster_san]

Fuu paused at the door, waving her hand through the strands of the web several times. That it was enchanted went without saying. She remembered the webbing being totally impenetrable when she first arrived--what was controlling it? Was it one way?

She could see the splendid view of the outdoors beyond, but she hung back as Kyle went through. "Sir Kyle, could you please come back in?" she asked, hoping that he could comply. If not--well, then they'd have another puzzle.

[ladiesknight]

Kyle stepped back inside. If he'd been from Earth, he probably would have asked if they were doing the hokey-pokey.

"What's wrong, you forget something?"

[monster_san]

Fuu smiled as he stepped back through the webbing without a problem. "No, I was just testing something," she said. "I hope this web doesn't become solid to trap us inside or outside!"

So she said with a bright smile before stepping through herself. "Oh! You're right--my, everything looks so different at this size."

[ladiesknight]

Great, she was using him as a guinea pig...

"If it does, we'll just have to find some way around it," said Kyle. No sense worrying about that sort of thing now. He stepped back outside, where a comparatively giant crocus was growing out of the earth.

"Pretty nice garden they've got growing out here. Reminds me of some of the spreads back home."

[monster_san]

Hey, it's not like she wouldn't help if he did get caught. But as long as he's out there she might as well test it.

She looked up at the crocuses, reaching out to touch the. The texture of the smooth leaves was quite different to tiny hands. "It's like an arboretum, from this angle" she said, smiling. She started to peer closer at the veining, but remembering her words from earlier dutifully looked up. "That mist is outside as well--it's too thick to make out anything above it."

You know, it case that wasn't totally obvious.

[ladiesknight]

Kyle didn't answer; he was too busy staring at something past Fuu, deep in the mist. Something not quite visible, but of hulking mass, which lumbered along to the sound of crushed grass and twigs.

O-oh...
