Amid a night of dreams and fantasy, a young maiden sleeps upon a sea of flowers and a parade of colorful ecstasy. The faces of those from long ago look on with love and admiration before disappearing into the clouds and heavenly sky.

Above crystalline waterfalls and the cerulean ocean that stretches far beyond the horizon, there is an ancient tower that rises far into the sky. From one of many windows, the forest maiden gazes outward across rivers and meadows by the fading light of sunset as she waits for her truly beloved to return in the coming night.

Across a vast distance of ethereal imagination, a great tree looms over the cerulean ocean and underneath its glorious shadow is a great kingdom by the sea. Though their differences separated them for a time, the man of virtue returned from lands faraway because of love for the ocean maiden.

As they take their first steps upon the shores of distant lands, the path is uncertain and the future is unclear but together they will find their own way.

The dreams of the maiden are worlds of wonder in a paradise of eternal bliss as each one is a shining light of purity into the innocence of her soul and the longing of her own hopes and aspirations.
