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.

She's got spunk; his favourite kind of dame. She'd fit right in amongst the Barnes sisters - on second thought, never, ever introduce Korra to his sisters. He's harangued enough already.

'And here I was workin' hard for it,' he grumbles, good-natured, as he cruises next to her. 'Give me some credit.'

[braavado]

"Nah," Korra replies, unable to resist giving him another good-natured jab. "It's kind of fun seeing you get all put out."

Now that she's feeling more comfortable in the air, she tests out her wings by turning this way and that. And then finally, she flies in a wide circle around Bucky with a grin.

"You know, this is kind of fun once you get used to it."

He makes a comical face at her, deliberately, but it soon softens to a bright, boyish grin. He's thinking about Steve, and for a few seconds it doesn't hurt as much.

'You're havin' a gas, huh,' he replies, hovering in place so she can circle him with her aerobatics. 'Any reason you got different wings from mine?'

[braavado]

Attention caught, Korra stops her air circling to study his wings. They're definitely different, though she's seen this second type of wings on many other people, too.

"Dunno. I got these when I touched the yellow stone down there. Maybe it's random?"

He tilts his head questioningly at her. 'I have a blue stone,' he ventures. 'Just had to take it, I guess.' It's too early to tell if there's any pattern: Anna has the same type of wings he does, red and black. Elegant, that seem somewhat out of place. The transparent ones glitter in the sunlight, steady. They don't seem to be any less effective.

She drifts closer to him now, some of her previous playfulness fading away to curiosity. Korra had wondered what would happen if you touched the blue stone; it seems she has her answer.

"Yellow stone gives you glittery wings, blue stone gives you the kind you have?" She ventures a guess.

He circles her playfully first, and when he comes to a stop he pulls his own stone out of his pocket to show her. 'Seems like it.'

[braavado]

"We'll probably have to ask around to make sure," she says, resuming her flying.

"We" she'd said. Without even realizing it, Korra's begun to include him in her future plans. Though she had been nervous about being around so many people at first, some of them are easy to talk to, like Bucky.

He likes the sound of the we, and nudges her before zooming off again. 'Catch me if you can!'
