(she/it)<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Year 1, Night of the Shining Sky<br/><strong>Tags:</strong>Spirit of Blossoms; Other Spirits<br/><strong>Actions:</strong>Soothing the Spirit of Blossoms | Great Work: Wind Tunnel Ride!<br/><hr/>It was not that Wish did not believe, but she did not understand. Havoc? War? Death? These things made no sense to the happy spirit. She could not fathom the disaster that they brought let alone the desire to participate in it.<strong>"This is an unhappy tale,"</strong>Wish confessed, but she echoed what the other spirits said.<strong>"You have chosen a new name and a new form, just like we have! Maybe the mortals will choose a new form, too."</strong><br/><br/>She looks to the sword - the tool of destruction. That was not a fitting accessory for her Spirit of Blossoms! The spirit squeeze her eyes shut. In this new, human form she found herself squeezing her fists tight to her chest as she concentrated with purpose.<strong>"Do you remember that time we pretended to be baby birds!?"</strong>she said, recalling a happy memory. She focused on the playful jubilation of the memory, letting it radiate outwards.<strong>"Or that time I blew all of the pollen off of the flowers and made all of the mice and squirrels sneeze for days! Or the time I ruffled the feathers of the Peacock who could only talk about himself? Or when I made the icicles form in loops instead of spikes?"</strong>She thought through the seasons, thinking of the happiest of her joyful memories. The Spirit of Blossoms had many unhappy memories, it seemed, but she also had many good ones! Of this, Wish was certain, because all the memories she had with Blossom brought her great pleasure!<br/><br/><strong>"You are forgiven! You have made us happy!"</strong>she said forcefully.<br/><br/><hr/>Later on the long, long night, Wish was by herself. She floated as a cloud in the sky over the human settlement, wondering again if it was a bad idea for them to be present on the island. But things changed all the time - why couldn't the mortals? Perhaps they just needed more joy in their life! The Spirit of Blossoms had brought nothing but love into her own existence and it made her want to spread that same feeling around to everyone. How could she do that? What did Wish love?<br/><br/>Wish loved the wind! She loved the weightlessness, the floating, and the dancing that could be done in the air. Could she grant that gift to the mortals?<br/><br/>She began to swirl and whirl in a circle, creating a swell of gentle wind that pushed upwards. She could not give the bipeds wings, but she could do the next best thing! She continued her efforts, willing air into existence that pushed up, up, and up! She could feel it moving around her... building in intensity... and finally pushing her up!<br/><br/><strong>"Weeee!"</strong>she exclaimed cheerfully. A column of wind had been born! The edges of the column blew wind upward, but not with enough force to pick anything up. It served as a warning barrier to ward people and animals away should they not like the sensation. But those who were curious and continued forward would soon find that their feet began to leave the ground! They could flip and dance in the column of wind, experiencing weightlessness! The adventurer who found themselves inside could eventually find their way out again by angling their body in the correct position, allowing for a fun wind-tunnel ride!
