Laughter… and tears


While the adults keep a respectful distance between them… that is not the way of children. Innocence born from being new, they seek to be all together, laughing and in peace.

That is why it is allowed, humans and deities, joining in games with the animals, enjoying fruit and sweetened milk within the forests. Sometimes, there may be a frown; yet, by dusk, it would have become a smile…

Except for when the wicked flames took the lives of all those children away, while their friends watched from afar, crying as they couldn't understand.

…Their friendship would never be restored.
