In the beginning, an "orb" is cast unto Earth. "It" can do two things: change into the form of the thing that stimulates "it"; and come back to life after death. "It" morphs from orb to rock, then to wolf, and finally to girl, but roams about like a newborn who knows nothing. As a girl, "it" becomes Odessa.
Through encounters with human kindness, Odessa not only gains survival skills, but grows as a "person". But her journey is darkened by the inexplicable and destructive enemy Nokker, as well as cruel partings with the people she loves.
