I. The Guiding Light
1-1
In a corner of Okhema,
the newly arrived traveler stops for a moment.
He rubs his eyes.
“One, two, three… There's three identical children?”
The three children have different smiles.
One is beaming, one has a shrewd grin, and one is smiling serenely,
yet each of them looks just as mysterious as the other two.
“Stranger, welcome to the holy city!
We will show you the way forward.”

Tribios…
This name has not been mentioned for some time.
Only the elderly priests of Janusopolis know the true significance of this name.
“High priest, pleased guide us once again as we spread our wings on this long journey.”
As music from his hometown plays,
the smiling children gather around the old man.
They wish that the twilight breeze
will carry away all tales of sadness.

The end times loom like a dark cloud,
hanging over the holy city's residents and shrouding them with worry.
“Hello! Do you need our help?”
Like torches dancing in the wind,
The children illuminate the alley.
They wipe away the women's tears,
babies sleep amidst whispers,
on the windowsill off those in prayer,
their light footprints remain.
The citizens call them,
“The Three Pillars of Okhema.”
Yet they simply shake their heads.
“There's no need to be so somber! How about we play a game together?”

“Guess who we are?”
The three soared and landed in front of the townsfolk.
“You're Trianne,”
an old man says.
“No, we're Trinnon.”
Trinnon is the quietest of the trio.
“Are you Trinnon?”
a young girl asks.
“Wrong! We're actually Trianne!”
Trianne is the most spirited of the trio.
“Then you must be Tribbie!”
a child shouts.
“You're right! Good job!”
Tribbie is as enthusiastic as she is adorable.
It matters not whether they can tell the trio apart,
of most importance is their sincere smiles.

“We will show you the path to take!”
The children fly ahead,
guiding the lost back to the main road.
“So you literally show people the right path to take?”
“You're lucky,
you merely took a wrong turn.”
The children flew before me,
It was rare to see them so quiet.
“However, there are many more unfortunate souls…
who have lost their direction in life.”
