Oh! So that's how! Ha! That's me. I did that.

Where am I though?

Hmmm... So dark... wait, what are those twinkling lights?

Oh! They're hot- Ouch! What the-? Huh? Who threw that ston- Ow! Stop! That hur- Oh! Ha! You didn't get me that tim- No! Stop throwing... Oh!

Hmmm... Why does this stones have tails?

'Better get away from here. Too many of them.'

Oh! Pretty! What are you? Those stripes are good on you.

What's that red dot?

Hmmm... *gasp Well, this is not good. *scream Too fast, too fast. Help! Too much swirling, too fast *screams

*inhale, exhale
*inhale, exhale
*inhale, exhale

Huh? No more swirling? Weird. Hooo! At least it stopped.

Well, you're pretty, but that was bad. Don't do that again, you cute, little, striped sphere.

Hmmm... Oh! Blue! So blue... *gasp *shiver Cold! So cold! Why are all you pretty spheres have bad things inside...

Heat up soon, ok? Pretty blue sphere have to warm up soon so I can visit you again.

Hmmm... Oh how cute... you're such a cute little sphere. Hmmm... I shall declare you my most favorite!

So nice. So, so nice. Everything looks so nice... but why are some of you so slow while the others are so fast?... But none of you are moving, unlike this stupid, tailed stones.

*step step

Hello.

*gasp Who are you?

I'm Life. *smile And you?

I don't know.

Don't look sad. I'm sure you'll know who you are.

Really? How do I do that? Where should I start?

*laughs

Bad. Why are you laughing?

*laughing Sorry, sorry, it's just the irony of guiding a Guide.

Huh? Guide?

Yes.

What's that?

That's what you are.

What I am... but not who I am.

Unfortunately, yes. You have to find who you are on your own.

But I don't want to be on my own.

Don't cry, and don't worry. I didn't mean that you would be alone in your journey. I'm here, aren't I? *smile

Then... does that mean you'll come with me? Help me find who I am?

Yes. I'm a Guide after all.

Oh! About that, what's a Guide?

Hmmm... a Guide is like a guardian.

Guardian? What does it guards then?

Depends on who they are. I'm Life so I am the Guide of life.

You guard life then. *grins

Hmmm... not just guard it. I am Life, so I represent life. I also keep the Balance of life.

Huh? What do you mean?

Life is about the beginnings, the rising of the stars and moons, the turning of the Worlds, the continuity of creation, the growth of things. I am Life so I represent all of those, I guard all of those so that the Balance of life is kept.

Oh! So that's who you are! Now I know where to start. Thank you for helping me.

I'm glad to help. Shall we proceed on your path then?

Yes, yes!
