Summary

The Overseer, a being who watches over the souls of the land. After gifting life to yet another lost spirit, it sets out into the world. What is his will? What does he wish to change in this land? What does this mean to the spirit and their kin?

To humanity, these spirits are mere demons; monsters set on their destruction. Perhaps this is their will, but perhaps not. Venture forth into this dying world and decide for yourself.

This is a story for you to witness and interpret.
