it's just a spark, but it's enough to keep me going
Sohalia was wandering, as she was wont to do.
It had been some time since she'd left home, and she had no intention of going back any time soon. What was left for her there except for shadows and anguish? And that was not how she lived her life - light and love was her bread and butter, and to wallow in self-pity would be a disgrace. No, it was far better to keep moving, to keep busy, to keep learning. And so it was that she found herself in the Eyes of Vi.
It was someplace new she'd never been, and she was rather enjoying the experience. Small pools of water dotted the landscape, each showing a different, faraway vista rather than a simple reflection. Sohalia had wondered what would happen if she were to step into a pool, but she was too afraid to try it. This world was beautiful but often dangerous, and she was poorly equipped to face danger. Maybe one day she would be faster, better, stronger, but for now, she would simply do her best to stay safe.
What surprised her about the Eyes of Vi was that she was not alone. In her wanderings, she came across a young woman of ethereal beauty, and Sohalia was immediately entranced - especially once she saw what the woman was doing. She placed a variety of prisms of different sizes in a careful row, crafting upon the ground a rainbow roughly the size of Sohalia's hand. Sohalia was immediately curious.
"That's so pretty!" she exclaimed by way of greeting, emerging from the trees. "How does that work, exactly?"

and when it's dark out, no one's around; it keeps glowing
