The Gathering Wise

M. K. Baker

At the dawn of time, young Perl awakes at the base of the ancient Bodhi tree. Source of the last remaining life-giving fruit of wisdom. She's met by a mysterious deity named Ohm, who eases her birth into a new world, before hastily setting her on a path into the unknown. Perl's told to choose twelve other inhabitants of the untamed world to receive the fruit's blessing of self-awareness, so they can join Perl and help lay the foundations of civilization.A journey of discovery follows. Along the way, they'll name the places, things, and creatures they encounter, some destined to join the godlike Wise. Among them a friendly woodland creature, and the predator chasing him, a beautiful water nymph, and a spunky fairy, a massive bird of prey, a color changing reptile, and more. Together they overcome obstacles as they travel from one fantastic location to another, expanding their knowledge of the world, developing personalities, and building friendships on their way to an unknown destination.
