In the beginning, an "orb" is cast unto Earth. The "orb" can do two things: emulate the form of the thing that stimulates "it," and come back to life after death.

As a boy, "it" becomes Fushi and grows as a "person" on its journey, and endures cruel partings with loved ones and a destructive enemy, the Nokkers.
