Phoenix

火の鳥

Hi no Tori

Throughout history, from ancient times to the era of space colonization, one legend remains constant—the tale of the immortal Phoenix. This legendary bird's blood is believed to bestow either eternal life or profound wisdom, and it watches over human civilizations to ensure the continuity of sentient life throughout the cosmos. Despite the Phoenix's guardianship, humanity continues to be governed by its emotional spectrum—joy and despair, rage and affection—emotions that are integral to human experience. Certain persistent beliefs and aspirations also disrupt the delicate equilibrium of the world’s natural order. Destiny, with its ever-changing elements, takes various forms and often exhibits a peculiar sense of humor.
