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.

"They're more a thing in the West," he tells her. "Certain cultures there have myths about tiny, magical humanoids with wings. They started as more fearsome things, then the stories about them became more cute."

"The West? Like Kyushu? How strange! I didn't know the legends were so different there," she says, surprised--and without the slightest hint of doubt that her conclusion is anything but correct. These things happen when you've been confined to a shrine your entire life.

"More Western than that," he says lightly. "Across the sea and hundreds upon hundreds of miles overland, where people speak an entirely different language and eat entirely different foods."

She has an awed look on her face when he tells her that. She's been hidden in her shrine for so long--does everyone else know? If only Magoichi were here, she could explain everything.

"Wow... I never knew! Could you tell me more?"
