Luon couldn't remember how he had come into the world.

It seemed to him that he had always lived among the roots of the trees, where dry leaves usually gathered.

You could play in the leaves. You could sleep in them. Or you could disappear into them completely.

Luon wasn't afraid of the dark. He always carried his light inside him.

Inside his little body lived a tiny flame. Sometimes it burned brighter. Sometimes it almost faded away.

He had never wandered this far from his home before.

The light of the early morning struck his eyes.

Luon squeezed them shut and, for a moment, was blinded.
