Summary: 

An amnesic young boy finds himself fleeing in a dense and strange forest with a small child in his arms. He journeys towards the distant "Northern Light" and progressively unravels the truth about the mysterious prophecy of great power surrounding the child he is carrying and this distant beacon of light.

Details of the story:

            A young boy finds himself lost in a dense forest, with no memory of where he comes from or who he is. But he has one goal in mind: run away with the small child he is carrying in his arms. The child seems to be lost in a deep and agitated slumber. In his pocket, he finds a picture of himself surrounded by friends and family. He looks so happy, so what made him leave his life behind?

            In the dense forest, he discovers a strange fauna and flora that seems welcoming, warm and buzzing with life. With no sense of where to go, he journeys towards the beacon of light he sees in the distance. But the further in he goes, the more memories of his past he gets, and he remembers the stories he used to hear as a child. Stories of a new born with tremendous power and the dangers of the "Northern Light": the beacon of light he seems to be walking towards...

            Protecting this child and uncovering the truth on the origin of its powers becomes his priority, but soon the dangers of the deepest part of the forest unravel, and he has no choice but to make use of the child's awakening powers, letting go of the fear he might have had for him...

            Along the journey, he pieces back his past, how he fled his home and left his life behind, and through the nature around him he rediscovers the peace within himself.

 But who exactly is this child and what lies at the end of the journey, at the source of the Northern Light?
