A hedgehog was enjoying its life until a hummingbird fell from the heavens. The hummingbird took everything which the hedgehog held dear. The little mammal hated the winged creature with everything it had, as well as the ones that threw it from the heavens. Yet the hummingbird didn't have the same feeling. And so it decided to do something else; it became a mirror so the hedgehog would not be lonely anymore. And so...
On a freezing winter day, a group of hedgehogs huddle together for warmth. But as they get closer, their sharp quills pierce each other, forcing them apart. The cold drives them back together, and the pricking resumes. Eventually, they find a perfect, comfortable distance—warm enough to survive, but far enough not to hurt.
As the hedgehog and its twin were playing in the lonely fields of flowers. A curious fox decided to peek; it saw how much fun the hedgehog was having, and it felt left out. Before it could join them, it decided to bring something as well. It brought sunflower seeds so the world could bloom with the sun.
The three of them played in the newly planted fields of poppies and sunflowers.
They had...fun.
After a while, the hedgehog did a gruesome task. It barely survived... no, it died and was later born anew in the cloth of rebirth.
The hedgehog was no more, and in its place. A new being rose, one with a benevolence that would crush even the mightiest of saints.
Yet something happened to the fox that neither it nor the rest of its friends would understand (except one).
In an optimally operational setup,
every ocular organ possesses matching
visual conduits—
slender strands of tissue threads composed of clustered
cellular extensions, which serve as the bridging links between the light-
sensitive layer and the
central processing center. The light-sensitive
layer relies on those visual conduits to transmit indicators to the
central processing center. ⠀

However, rather than dispatching what the dexterous view captured to the
right region of the central
processing center and what the sinister view
captured to the
left region, the light-sensitive layer scrambles the
arrangement. Or, to be more precise, a handful of the cellular
extensions alter their maddness.
As the fox and the hedgehog were playing, someone else decided to join them. A crow with a frog in its mouth. The fox and the hedgehog welcomed it with open arms. Yet as they spent time together, the crow was considering eating the frog. Both the fox and hedgehog advised it not to eat it. Yet whilst crying, the crow did just that. It ate the frog, which it considered the love of his life.
The crow left shortly after; after a few days, it came back. And this time, it decided to bring [REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED] so the world would smell the pleasure of unlovable love.
All the world is impermanent; mind is the root of evil. Body a reservoir of sin.
As the three of them spent time together, the fox was growing more reckless by the day. It forgot normal things; it forgot how to act as a human.
One day, the fox asked the hedgehog and the crow to follow him. They both agreed. After a while, they reached a farm. And the three of them saw a human, and the human saw them.
The fox approached slowly, and so did the man. Yet the human didn't care about the fox; the human walked past it. The fox looked past the human, and it only saw a cage.
The human grabbed the hedgehog; it pulled out its pricks. Leaving it cold and hurt. The man walked back to the cage, and he threw the little mammal inside.
The fox just stared at the cage.
The crow tried to fly away, yet it was caught before it could do so. The human broke his wings so the bird wouldn't take flight again.
As the human walked back to the cage to imprison the crow, the fox just stared.
A wall separated the three of them; the fox was the only one that was left free. Why? Because it brought friends to the human.
While the fox looked at his former friends, a pair of glasses landed on its face. He could see them again...I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.
A hedgehog watched the world through a single pair of lenses, knowing a single great thing.
Yet that hedgehog is someone else, is it not? Hehe, you are but a mere fox, which is supposed to know many things.
Yet that stupid fox robbed the hedgehog of the lenses. When will you take off your glasses, Elyon?

As Elyon woke up, he looked around. Everything was blurry, and so he reached for his glasses. Once he put them on his face, he could see himself clearly; he could see the world.
The pilgrimage started; the people got to know each other, and when the first day ended. Everyone went to sleep; now it was the second day.
On his right, Eve was still sleeping while she clutched her sword. On his left.
"Good morning"
Vigil was already staring at him.
Elyon didn't respond; he just looked at the sun that barely peeked over the horizon. The same sun that was covered by the flying church
