Two hundred million years ago.
It
is
a
time
when
the
Earth
is
so
young
to
those
who
know
her,
The
earth
as
we
know
it
was
decidedly
different,
It
was
a
single
continent
that
covered
the
northern
hemisphere
and
some
in
the
southern
hemisphere.
Then
the
Panthalassa
ocean,
a
vast
tract
of
water
that
covered
more
than
half
the
planet
Not
much
more
is
known
about
the
world
all
that
time
ago
apart
from
the
stories
of
the
things
that
are
now
myth
and
legends.
Like
so
many
tales
there
are
some
skeletons
in
the
closet
that
to
this
day
remain
hidden
in
shame.
Adam
and
Eve
walk
the
garden
of
Eden
in
the
company
of
God,
the
creator.
It
is
also
a
confusing
time
where
men
live
for
six
hundred
years and time seems to be a flexible thing .
A
natural
force
like
wind
or
fire.
Always
to
be
used
with
wisdom
as
a
last
resort
to
help
the
Feyfolk
survive
the
marvelous
land
of
Pangaea
that
spread
across
half
the
globe's
surface.
There
was,
as
always,
that
precarious
balance
between
Dark
and
light.
The
contest
with
the
Dark
always
seemed to make headway over the light.
Inevitably
Magic
fell
into
the
wrong
hands.
From
the
beautiful
forbidden
garden
called
Eden
emerged
Man,
born
from
there,
banished
by
an
angry
God
into
the
world
by
a
sin
of
disobedience
-
Yet
the
favoured
of
God
and
these
creatures
who
happened
in
that
ancient
time.
The
world
did
not
need the spoiled children decended from Monkeys and the Apes.
Soon
these
Monkeys
found
the
power
of
Magic
and
flame.
These
children
squandered the newfound power on frivolous things and vicious acts.
Rapidly, Magic became scarce… unable to replenish from its
misuse. Where-ever mankind went, living things died,
darkness slowly began to cover the land,
So it is to this day.
