The Origins of the Wildness 源野

"The wind is a tangible reality; It leaves different marks in space, Bringing unexpected melodies."

Excerpt from "Sensory Chronicles of the Wind"

Over the years, as civilization rapidly advanced, the record of such sensations lingered only in virtual libraries. People had long forgotten this primal perception, and in a virtual world dominated by pure visual experiences, few paid attention to the 'experience of the wind.'

A group of individuals, tired of this way of life, chanced upon the sensory records of the wind. They desired to depart from the current norms of civilization, journeying to a new land to follow 'perception' and establish a new order.

Following historical sketches, they constructed a steampunk-style airship and embarked on a journey to a new planet. The origin of a low-tech, highly natural civilization awaited them, as they targeted a windy terrestrial planet.

Upon arrival, the fatigue of the long flight quickly dissipated in the face of this fresh sensation. People, both nervous and excited, eagerly learned to breathe in every scent brought by the wind. They opened their arms, allowing winds of various sizes to bounce and roam on their skin pores and hair.

Subsequently, some began to busily recycle the airship, dismantling various components and reassembling them to meet the needs of everyday life in the future. Someone proposed the construction of a "Wind Messenger" to remind future generations not to forget the original purpose of coming to this planet—to experience the precious sensation of the wind.

Once the "Wind Messenger" was assembled, it was named "The Origins of the Wind." Some even crafted a wind summoner—a trumpet-shaped device. Whenever it was pressed, the planet resonated with the language of the wind, enveloping everyone. Nature began to sing, and people softly hummed along with the language of the wind.
