"What should we get her this year?"
"Waaay ahead of you. I already got her a rock!"
"...Sorry. A rock?"
"Yeah! I found it near the mouth of a volcano way down—"
"No."
"What!? Why!?"
"You honestly think she'd be happy to get a rock!?"
"What kid doesn't want a rock!?"
"...At least find her a jewel or something. Please."

I thought my acts just.
When had that idea taken hold?
A lonely prayer, understood by none.
But who is this prayer for?
I sinned by acting as though I never noticed.
So I seek atonement, as well as this dream's end.
But as the moment approaches, I finally understand:
Wishes and reality have long since drifted apart.

Dissenting Traveler

December 29th. Heavy snow.

I fight for what I seek. I will fight tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after that.

I don't know if what I'm looking for is at the end of my battles, but I will fight for it tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after that.

For the fight is the only proof I still live.

i think
what i see on the mountains is ambition
what i see on the peaks is hope
i think
what i see in the mirage is anxious yearning
what i see in the depths of death is despair

Shadowbound Traveler

Shadowbound Traveler

When I come down
I go right back up

As if penance
As if fate

I may lose my way
Lose sight of it all
Lose myself entire

But I continue to climb
And descend once more

Guardian Traveler

Guardian Traveler

Ar2:8 Mountain Village Guardian

The man was born to poor mountain people; theirs was a simple life spent in nature before returning to the earth.

Bored with his lot, the man left home for the city, where he discovered people ruled by coin — a value system unfamiliar to him. And because of his youth, the power of greed slowly overtook him.

Abstract Traveler

Abstract Traveler

Take up your spear. Track your prey. Take its life.
They provide nourishment for my existence, just as I might one day provide nourishment for theirs.

It is not something to be feared.
Life is a circle, and it continues on for eternity.

September 10th

Hello from a small inn I stumbled across! The view of the coast is just lovely.

How's the girl doing? Is she still talking to that boy? If he ends up being a weirdo, I'll turn his guts inside out! ...If I were there. But I'll entrust that to you. Look, just make sure she doesn't get any weirdos chasing her.

Summer Traveler

Summer Traveler

Husband: You think I'm headed to the mountains again, huh? Well, I'm not! I'm going to the beach to find the white whale of legend!

Huddled in the corner, his wife ignores him.

Husband: That woman does not understand adventure at all...

The wife walks to him with something in hand.

Wife: Here. It's a light coat and loincloth for the beach.

Husband: Oh, thanks. Right, then! I'm off! Bwa ha ha!

The wife watches as her husband departs.

Wife: I hope that fool is all right. He can't even swim...

Celebratory Traveler

Celebratory Traveler

Long ago, I would've said "treasure." But now, my answer would be the starry sky as seen from the mountain peaks, or nature in all of its shining glory...

No. I know what it is: "The place I yearn to return to."

[ ​Spear of the Precipice​ ]

A man attempts to climb a massive, unconquered mountain. It's as if he searches for the boundary between life and death through the harshness of nature and finds purpose in it.
───────────────
Suddenly, a blizzard sets upon him. He feels for the gift from his daughter in his pocket and continues to climb, letting the warmth from her present carry him.
───────────────
When he finally reaches the summit, he beholds an illusion of the wife he left behind. He then swears to make it down the mountain and return to the warmth of his happy family.
───────────────
Only the faintest hint of life remains in the man after he slips down the cliff. The image of his daughter and his pregnant wife scatter into darkness. Is it regret? Or a brief moment of joy?
