The Ginso Tree was once home to a Water Spirit, who created fresh, clean water that reached throughout the world. But the forest fell into darkness when Kuro, the great raven, put a blight on the land. The rivers stopped flowing, and the waters stagnated.
Ori’s first trial is to scale the Ginso Tree, climbing thousands of feet into the
air to restore the Water Spirit. When he frees the spirit, the waters that had been sealed away surge up through the tree. Ori races to stay above the churning tide. But Kuro is waiting when Ori emerges at the top. The trees in the distance rustle, and the great, terrible raven rises from the forest. Furious, she strikes Ori off the tree, sending him plummeting.
This arrangement chronicles Ori’s trek to restore the Water Spirit. Amidst the hollow and woody sounds, creaks, and soughing of the wind in the ancient tree’s empty chambers, this piece tells a story of perseverance and restoring hope when all seems lost. When the forest dwellers realize there might be an end to their long night, their feelings of hope surge forward, just like the thunderous waters.
