Seeking the Spirits of All Things

Never go up the mountain.

There was once a strange boy whom the mountain villagers had regarded as an ill omen ever since he was three. Everyone kept their distance from him. Every day, he sat quietly, staring blankly at the mountaintop...

No one knew where he came from. Some said he fell from the sky, others that he sprang from a crack in a stone, and still others that he had been sent by the King of Hell.
