Just like any great story, a Seekers journey starts with a dream. In fact, Seekers were born from one! They came, one worrisome sleepless night. They spoke to creator Clair with words of inspiration and enlightenment, washing away the exhaustion after the world of adulthood had taken its toll, painting the gloomy sky a bright shining blue filled to the brim with hope for the future.
They spoke - of lands where treasures can be found, and dreams beyond thoughts alone, energising Clair's weary heart and soul.
Through their whispering, the twelve Seekers guided creator Clair to draw the very places and paths where these Seekers live, play and learn. You see, for creator Clair, the mischievous Seekers kept her awake to unlock this unique and special mission. And when you stumble on your sleepless night, where hope seems to have left your being, that’s when Seekers like Clair’s come to hold your hand and remind you how to shine.

Chapter 2
All 12 seekers share a free spirited nature; they’re kind, curious, and dependable but just a wee bit unpredictable. But one thing is for sure, just like you, each seeker is unique.
Each one holds the key to a portico! - a door where a world waits to be discovered. Once opened, the Seekers search is activated. It is their mission to guide and support you through until you unlock your treasure.
The Seekers power lies within the 'Magic of Meraki' - the passion for your work, to devote yourself to something wholeheartedly and passionately!. You may have already touched Meraki in your own life - it lights up your very being, you’ll definitely understand when you reclaim the power of your dreams.
Remember, seekers start with a dream!
Their magical Meraki stays with them in their symbolic butterfly. Sometimes.. they’re snatched by sneaky saboteur Colour-Snatchers and their kin, who drain the very sunshine and wonder from your dreams and turn them into those dreaded grey days. So sneaky are those Colour-Snatchers! They snatch the magic from your day before you even know it. They drink from sorrow and feed on fear!
They want you to go back to dream-less sleep, lethargy and the land of zombies where people are all the same and your power is hidden deep inside, unusable. They don’t want you to succeed. But Seekers do! And that's why we are here for each of you. On this adventure you’ll be given the tools and guidance to avoid these evil pesky pests.
