Description:

In a place beyond our sight, an all-encompassing mountain looks out over a vast valley, with an infinitely deep lake at its opposite end.

Light and Darkness, Hope and Despair, Luck and Fate… these forces of nature battle endlessly throughout the valley, always attempting to gain the upper hand.

Rot can spread like a wildfire, burning each new branch it touches; a lit candle can spread its light to an unlit candle, without its own light dimming. Neither of these facts are much consolation for those caught in the middle, though.

No matter how powerful they may seem, all humans are mortal. All of us must swim into the Vast Unknown when our time comes.

This series seeks to answer a simple question: how do people persevere when they walk through the valley of the shadow of death?

“In this bleak valley, Hope you can find,
And even in Darkness the Light will shine.”
