What do you
seek?

find your song

A figure with everchanging colourful skin extends their limbs in a swimstroke

3 questions
for you,
seeker

One:
are you light as air or rooted in the earth?

Fronds of otherworldly flora hover amongst glowing azure orbs Beacons of crystal sink downwards, spreading their roots.

Two:
will you flow out or will you peer in?

An archway frames a stone threshold that leads out into the dark night. A bright ornate doorway that leads into a long hallway.

Two:
do you pull the deep flowing dark or follow the light floating joy?

A trio of hovering deep purple beacons with an orange quarter moon that rises and sets above. A cluster of glowing warm orbs dance among the plants.

Three:
do you spring into the morning or sink into the pulsing night?

Glowing crystals emerge from a floating pool under a rising sun. A dusky mountain with shadowy entrance that leads inside. A blue quarter moon is nestled in the sky.

Three:
do we slowly unfurl or loop in endless return?

A blue orb stretches and splits into three, and then into five, little spheres that stretch over a rolling plain. A diamond-shaped pattern moves inwards in an endless loop while murky waters pool below.

Three:
will you leap into the chaos or undulate into the calm?

Frequencies emanate outwards from a dark purple hole; abstract lines and shapes stretch out below. A mysterious archway frames a portal that glows within with warm purple; before the arch is a pool of shimmering water.

Three:
will you wander into a forest or twirl through a meadow?

A window with a shadowy forest visible through it. Overgrown fronds of green curve around the perimeter. A half-moon gateway leads to a peaceful meadow under an orange sunset.
The figure with the colourful skin faces upward, limbs akimbo, tumbling. A green snake slips around their ankle.

find your song,
seeker?

A treasure. A prism of luminous green, blue, purple and red.
A majestic tower rises out of a hovering island and glows green from within. At the top, a nest made of iridescent cyrstals.
