Plot
Chapter 1
On her way to the park, Amitie comes across a trail, leading to a part of the forest that she has never seen before. Thinking it's a shortcut, she followed the forest trail only find herself lost. While trying to find a way out, she wanders deeper within, getting herself into the Mysterious Forest while chasing down a gold-colored Puyo that suddenly appeared. As if she was led by it, she finds a forest clearing with a lone, glowing egg sitting at the center. Curious about it, she touched the egg, prompting it to crack open and hatch before Amitie's eyes.
Chapter 2
After finding her way out of the forest, Amitie finally meets up with Arle, Carbuncle, and Ringo at the park with a baby bird in her arms. The bird, white as snow and small enough to fit in Amitie's hands, is given the name "Tama". Being unable to take care of the bird because of school, she leaves it behind, but finds herself unable to do so, as Tama has imprinted Amitie to be its mother. Realizing this, Amitie has a change of heart, and becomes willing to take care of it like her own child and develops a motherly bond with it.
Trivia
- Tama and its mother are likely inspired by the mythological Roc, a large bird of prey.
