It's a nice day outside many spirits are playing with each other.

Ori was home with Naru, Gumo and Ku. Ori was still sleeping Ku, on the other hand, was awake and want to play with Ori

Ku: Ori wake up! Ori!

Ori: hnng... 5 more minutes Ku

Ku: I wanna play now! *jumping around in anger*

Ori: ok ok ok... I'll be outside after breakfast...

Ku: OK! *goes outside*

Ori: *jumps out bed and grabs some fruit*

Naru: good morning Ori

Ori: morning mom

Naru: why up so early? you normally sleep a lot longer

Ori: Ku woke me up she wanted to play and I can't say no to her *munching on a fruit*

Naru: oh alright

Ori: where Gumo?

Naru: he's still sleeping, he stayed up all night trying to make something to help Ku fly

Ori: oh

Ku: Ori are you coming?

Ori: yeah I'm coming

Naru: ok stay safe kids!

Ku: we will! come on Ori!

Ori: I'm coming, I'm coming slow down don't rush it Ku 😅

Ku: Ori let's play hide and seek 😄

Ori: alright I'll be the seeker

Ku: yay!

Ori: 5...

Ku ran through the forest trying to find a good hiding spot, she then spots a nice hollow tree trunk and decides to hide in there

Ori: 17 18 19 20! ready or not I'm coming

Ori walked around the forest looking behind large rocks and trees, but still no sigh of Ku. Ori then climbs up a tree to have a better view of the forest. but then Ori hears some giggles

Ku: hihi

Ori: hmmm... *takes a good look at the tree trunks* aha *jumps down*

Ori: Ku I know you're here somewhere

Ku: ...

Ori: *slowly approaching the hollow tree trunk*

Ku: ...

Ori: Found you!

Ku: ...

Ori: huh? could've sworn she was here..? *leaves*

Ku: *pops out of the hole in the tree trunk* hehe, outplayed

Ori: *pops out from the same hole* I know right

Ku: hehe, he has no ide- ORI!?

Ori: hey Ku ; )

Ku: awww!

Ori: hehe, don't worry you'll do better next time!

Ku: 😒

Ori: c'mon don't give that look

Ku: hmmm...

Ori: c'mon let's go back home

Ku: ok...

Ori: :)

Ku: hey Ori?

Ori: yes?

Ku: How is it at the spirit tree? can I go there?

Ori: eh?! uhh why do you ask me this Ku?

Ku: because I want to make more friend... it's pretty lonely only ably to play with you

Ori: you also have Naru and Gumo

Ku: I know but it's more fun to play with someone you're own side instead of someone 3 times bigger than you

Ori: oh...

Ku: so how is it there?

Ori: it's pretty peaceful and there are a lot of spirits playing but I don't think you can go there

Ku: why not?

Ori: well you see... uhm, yeah... you're a creature of the dark and the spirits tree his light and who knows what can happen... 'damn I can't tell her she still too young..! I hate lying to her'

Ku: oh... 😔

Ori: c'mon don't look so sad... everything will be alright

Ku: you say that all the time

Ori: c'mon let's go home

Ku: *sigh* alright...

Ori: ...

Ku: *walking slowly and sad*

Ori: 😟 oh well, it can't be helped I'll ask Sein what we can do...

Ku: *lightens up* r-really?

Ori: yes, but

Ku: what

Ori: I can't promise that it'll work or you can come

Ku: aww... but

Ori: I'm sorry Ku

Ku: ok...

Ori: I'll do my best

And then the two walked home

Naru: hello children how are you two doing?

Ori: pretty good

Naru: huh? why so down Ku?

Ku: Oh i-it's nothing

Naru: hmmm...

Gumo: is it about you wing Ku?

Ku: no it's not that

Naru: maybe we can talk about it with some food? what do you think Ku?

Ku: I guess...

Ori: have fun ok? I'm going to the spirit tree

Naru: ok, say hi to Sein for me Ori

Ori: I will

Ku: hey Ori, you will ask right?

Ori: I will Ku don't worry

Ku: *smiles a bit* thanks

Ori: see you guys later

Naru, Gumo and Ku: bye

Ori then leaves to the spirit tree also picking up some fruit in case he gets hungry.
while arrived at the spirit tree he climbs the spirit tree.

Ori: Hey Sein are you here? Hello?

Sein: huh

Ori: *turns around the corner of the eye of the tree* Sei- Oh, uuuh... Hi? I didn't expect someone else here on top of the tree..? *scratching his head*

Sein: Ori it's me

Ori: S-sein? y-you're a girl?!

Sein: yes it's me and yes I'm a girl are you assuming my gender?!

Ori: n-no I just thought you we're genderless

Sein: Excuse me?! ok nvm that but sorry for the sudden change, I just wanted to try out my spirit form

Ori: Oh that's fine... I came here to ask you something

Sein: what is it you want to ask?

Ori: i-it's about Ku

Sein: he wants to come here doesn't he

Ori: how did you know?

Sein: just a hunch I guess

Ori: Oh and btw Ku is a she and second can she come or not?

Sein: oh sorry, second I don't think the spirits would like to see Ku since her Mother well, you know blinded the forest

Ori: Yeah I know but she feeling lonely when I'm gone and yeah

Sein: I see

Ori: is there any way that Ku can come

Sein: hmmm... well I can play with her if your house isn't far from the spirit tree

Ori: well that depends on what far is for you

Sein: how long do you take to come here?

Ori: about 5 till 10 minutes but can't anyone else come?

Sein: no sorry, then more and more spirits will come and you won't have your privacy anymore

Ori: oh... didn't think about that

Sein: heh, I'll talk with the tree about this maybe I'll meet you tomorrow at your house

Ori: yeah, sure... wait how are you going to find me?

Sein: oh yeah, where do you live?

Ori: just follow me

Sein: ok

Sein followed Ori to his house about 6 minutes later they were there

Ori: don't forget this route ok

Sein: Ok

Ori: I guess I'll see you tomorrow maybe?

Sein: yeah maybe

Ori: bye

Sein: bye

then Sein headed back to the spirit tree

Ori: I'm back

Ku: how did it go?

Ori: well you still can't come the light is too bright but maybe a friend of mine can come and play

Ku: oh...

Ori: hey cheer up let's find some worms for you ok?

Ku: ok

Ori: Let's go

Naru: who we're they

Gumo: another of my kind, he always bullied me and get into a lot of fight with some weakling

Naru: that's horrible! and you Sein?

Sein: well one of the spirits his name is Bobby was so into battling he challenges almost every spirit to a fight and if they don't accept he still beats them up, we all thought he was unbeatable until Ori once visited me and under the name Luke he made a bet if Ori won he will stop battling Spirits who don't want to fight and if he wins he can continue, and Ori won and I am happy that Bobby doesn't hurt anyone no more

Gumo: wow that guy is even worse than my bully...

And so they played till late at night
