This is where I'll be putting any and all plot/storylines. Once I think of 'em...

Ye New PRESENT DAY:
Brahms, the eldest of the enlightened elders, reminisces about a legendary past. Reliving his days in the great Aphidian Saga to the unii young.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Ye Olde PRESENT DAY:
A man of average height and more than average smile, glistens his teeth toward you in his attempt to lure you in. He sits quietly at a long table, piled high and low with trees of fantastic color. More peculiarly is where the table sat, for it stood in front of a broken temple, the pillars and walls teeming with cracks of lightning. It seemed like a ghost's palace. Your curiousity piked, you approach the smiling person.

The next day . . .

Your memories fuddled, you glance to your right at a miniature tree, its leaves flittering from a nice breeze that also graced your cheek. Unlike the tranquil scene, your mind is but a mess.

How long was I there?

What convinced me to get this "thing"

Faeries?!

You blow a sigh, as the only concrete memory was that there were absolutely no refunds. :/
But something made you want to come back.

You find yourself in front of the temple once more, hugging a tree to your chest, wondering why half your clothes now mysteriously had holes in them.
But the man was gone.
You enter the grand, still decrepit but grand, temple archway.

Barely inside, you already find yourself- lost.
-----------------------------

Time seemed strange and endless here. Lets just say your watch became useless the moment you stepped in...

Finally fed up trying to look for the shady shopkeep, you backtrack toward the entrance. Well that was the idea anyway...
What you were sure was the way to the front, now led to a blank wall. It's blankity blank blankness mirrored your now bewildered expression. ._.;;;

The little tree huddled in your embrace seemed to shiver with contempt.
But there was no wind this time.
Curious and just a bit tired from carrying it around this long, you put the bonsai down and ruffled through the leaves.

And your face is promptly mauled by a pea-sized creature.

This is the present world's backdrop ^-^
