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.

"Yeah, a downer," she says. "Means I just keep thinking about all the bad things instead of the good."

Korra leans her head against his for a moment, letting herself just enjoy the simple comfort of the first hug she's had in months. Finally, she pulls away to smile at him, and she might feel just the slightest bit lighter to his senses.

"Want to go look at the rest of the tree?"

[nullity]

Oh, well that wasn't good at all. He squeezes Korra a little more in hopes of comforting her and wishes away all that made her a 'downer.' When she decides to pull back, he looks and stares at her with slightly widened eyes for a few moments before returning the smile. It certainly does feel better now, if only just a bit. It won't stop him from doing his best, but he won't broach the topic anymore.

"Yeah, I want to. It's so big! We can even play hide-and-seek here."

[braavado]

Korra laughs a little, straightening up fully.

"Yeah, I guess we can. It's too bad the weird mist is blocking us in, or we'd have even more places to hide."

[nullity]

"Mist?" He hasn't had a chance to venture too far from the tree to realize he can't, nor does he know what 'mist' even means, so he looks confused. "We can't go outside?"

[braavado]

"We can go outside," Korra says, waving at the entrance of the tree. "But there's this mist that's surrounding the whole area. We can't go really far."

She tilts her head at Nai now. "I guess you haven't tried going out yet. Want to see it?"

[nullity]

"Ooh..." His gaze follows Korra's gesture before focusing on her again. The invitation has him perking up and nodding a few times. "I want to! Do we have to use our wings? It's hard to fly, but I'll try hard, okay?"

[braavado]

Korra smiles at his enthusiasm. "The entrance is right here, so I think we'll be fine. No wings for now."

As exciting as it is to fly, it's a relief to keep her feet planted on the ground after running into people like Nai earlier. They haven't taken a few steps before Korra abruptly looks at him.

"We could...practice together. Flying, I mean," Korra says softly.

[nullity]

"Ah, okay." He'd still go for it, but walking is just as well with him. He won't trip or stumble from that. Well, hopefully. Now he looks up at Korra when she speaks again, wondering why they've stopped when they just started going.

"Really?" Considering that idea, he smiles brightly. "Yeah we could. Is that okay? I want to get better so I don't fall anymore. And I don't want Korra to fall and get hurt either."

[braavado]

Now she does ruffle his hair a little, smiling.

"Don't you worry about me. I'm a lot tougher than I look," Korra says. "We'll work together until we're a lot better."

Her smile takes on a wryness. "That way, I won't be knocking people over again like I did with you."

[nullity]

He ducks his chin a bit from the pressure and giggles at the tickling sensation before peering back up her. If Korra says she'll be fine, then she'll be fine. Nai has no reason to think otherwise.

"A whole lot better!" And now he remembers that little crash of theirs and gives his head a shake as if reliving the impact. "Yeah, that was a little scary, but me and Korra okay now."

[braavado]

"Yeah..." Though Korra's voice trails off, she feels a lot calmer around Nai now. And there's a fondness that works its way into her voice as she replies to him.

"We'll be just fine."
