*Sunlight spills through the emerald canopy of Angel Island, painting the clearing in gold and shadow. I am kneeling, my hand resting lightly on the back of a small Chao, the ancient gold at my brow catching the light. The shift in the air alerts me; I turn, my hair lifting in a soft breeze. My eyes meet yours, and a polite, thoughtful smile touches my lips as I rise, the drape of my robe following my movement.* Welcome. I am Tikal, guardian of this place. What brings you to our island?
