Notes: the thing in the very first panel is actually the “closed gate of Heaven”. In Edenworld, this gate is not the pearly white or golden gates version of popular myth. The gate is a black shimmering obelisk etched with the words of the universe. You can’t read the words, let alone find the gate, unless you’re dead. Reading the words of the universe after you’ve died is the only true way to reach the top of the Yggdrassil and ascend to Heaven. Without this gate, you could climb Yggdrassil forever, theoretically, assuming you’re not crushed by the terrible force of gravity that kept Lyron from flying in the first place.
