[GROUP ONE]

[dramatispersonae]

You're in a small dome-shaped chamber, the walls and floor made of white frosted glass. It's cool here.

In the middle of the floor is a small flame, with no apparent source of fuel. Arranged around it are five gleaming copper objects, each labelled:

• a tiny watering can (GROWTH)
  
• a winding watch the size of your thumbnail, which you can set to run backwards or forwards (TIME)
  
• a heart (CARE)
  
• a mesh bag full of copper flakes (STRENGTH)
  
• a lump of what seems to be metallic clay, which you can mold into whatever shape you want (CHOICE)

“Feed the flame,” Firebird says. “Today is for creation. Consider what you may make, and why.”

[OUR CLAY CREATION IS... A MAPLE TREE WITH SUNGLASSES GROWING FROM IT...? IT'S HARD TO TELL, BUT DON'T WORRY, WE'VE GOT THIS EXPLANATION DOWN]

This is a tall, strong, healthy maple tree with a sturdy trunk and plenty of leaves! It grows symbolism by representing what everyone wants, and helps people to find what they want, like sandwiches! It absorbs sunlight, meets the definition of a healthy tree and has those whirly seeds that spin around if you drop them, except that they're bigger than normal and more wing-shaped, and they're see-through so you can use them as sunglasses. They can get carried away by people or they can fly away themselves and grow even more trees all the time. If you wear them, you can fly. We don't know if it has other fruits yet, but any tree that grows from those seeds is a really good tall climbing tree that birds can nest in, which is useful with all the flying. If you climb up on top of one wearing your seed sunglasses, you can always see a place to find a sandwich. This is why the shade maple is the coolest tree and grows into a Shady Forest.

We add CARE first, because baby trees need care to grow! Then STRENGTH, 'cause it got strength from our care! After that, GROWTH once it's strong enough to grow really tall, and TIME for the growth to happen in, at the same time! Hopefully it'll grow strongly and become a Shady Forest with enough sandwich stores nearby for everyone, along with anything else peoples' hearts desire!!
