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.

Comments

"I thought that, too," Korra replies. "But everyone I've talked to so far is like us--new. If there is anyone from this place around, they're doing a good job of hiding themselves."

She refuses to think about how the houses and everything had been made just for them. There has to be some way to get answers.

He hums thoughtfully, brows furrowed in thought. If no one was from here then what was all this then? There were stories in Hyrule and Ordon of guardian trees but... Why would it pull so many people here just to leave them wondering what was happening?

Hm.

"We aren't getting anywhere, are we?"

It comes out sounding like someone musing to themselves rather than actual disappointment. If whoever wanted them there wasn't going to be forthcoming then--

"Maybe we just need to wait and see."

[braavado]

She gives him a small smile, though it looks a little worried and forced.

"Yeah, it doesn't look like we have much of a choice."

Korra sighs softly, then walks a little closer to him. "I'm Korra," she tells him, figuring there's no point in hiding her name if no one actually knows her here. Except Kuvira, but that's another matter entirely.

"...?"

Link looks a little confused at the forced smile, seemingly more used to the idea of being left high and dry by greater powers until they felt it was time to share information. And she's right; he doesn't even bat an eye when she introduces herself. Not to say that she couldn't have been important in some way - he would like to think that everyone here was here for a reason rather than here for no purpose at all - but their pasts were varied and... And he really wasn't one who pried into the lives of others.

He returns the smile, calmer and confident in the way that he had been when Midna had confided her past to him, and holds out a hand to her.

"I'm Link."

[braavado]

This time there's no hesitation as she takes his hand and gives him a firm shake. Though she hadn't been too thrilled when she first got here, Korra's starting to see the possibilities. She's tried to recover on her own terms, but perhaps a change of scenery like this might actually be helpful.

"There's not a lot of us around," Korra says, recalling how many faces she's seen so far that day. "We'll probably be helping each other out until we figure out how to get out of here."

[twilightlegend]

Link looks a little puzzled by the comment about there not being that many of them - because maybe Korra was more accustomed to working in a team? - but nods in agreement nonetheless. Such things were much easier to solve when there were more heads working on it. His experience with the Resistance Group in Hyrule Castle Town was proof enough of that.

He paused before giving her a short bow and waving farewell. There's more exploration to be done (probably) and Link wouldn't want to keep intruding on someone else's house.
