The Mushi Master Ginko sneaks onto an island all but completely locked away from the world. He has been led there by a young boy who must daily watch his friend die. A false idol at the heart of an inherited con, the girl child has sacrificed all, or has been sacrificed, to bring false hope to a new generation. Not all help is wanted just as not all travelers are welcome, and this mushi has been secretly treasured since time out of mind. A living god of a dead land, in sweet innocence she despaired not tragic death.
