TRACK 2 OF 3

Caelum Thorne: The Stone Gardens

  1. 01

    Light Within

    Born from the convergence of light and stone, Caelum reads the stories hidden in every stone of the ancient gardens.

  2. 02

    The Flower in the Stone

    The gardens slow time itself. At their center, the Wisdom Stone holds the knowledge of millennia.

  3. 03

    The Stones Sing

    Each note carries centuries. Wisdom hides in the spaces between, not in the obvious.

  4. 04

    The Blade of Wisdom

    Not a weapon: a tool that cuts illusion from truth, sharpened by every question it asks.

TRACK 3 OF 3

Joki Senshi: The Storm

  1. 01

    The Resolve

    Joki emerged from the raw energy of the universe: the full spectrum of emotion, made into one being.

  2. 02

    The Storm

    In the Storm Realm, weather is feeling. The Eye, at the center, is perfect calm.

  3. 03

    The Quiet

    When the storm subsides, clarity arrives. The strongest emotions are often the most subtle.

Caelum and Joki's passages are paired with their music in the Media Vault below.
