Excerpt from History of the World
Most of the history of the world happened in a single day: the awakening of man, the rebellion of Elden, the formation of kingdoms, the rise of the vast empire; generations and generations of humanity’s children who lived and died before seeing the sunset.

Roots village
A small village nestled in the woods of British Columbia Canada. The village is surrounded by huge trees, grass and a creek that runs through flowing into a beautiful freshwater lake. The area is only known to the villagers with no latitude or longitude location ever found. The mountains can be seen from every direction. The beauty, the seclusion and peace is solitude.

The Dreaming City
Nothing is quite in focus. Nothing is quite the same as the last time I was here. But it is all familiar. It’s a strange place, one that I am aware of without being able to control. Somewhere, deep down, I know that if I take this street, just turn left here and walk for as long as it takes, I’ll find the house.

The Eternal Forest
The sound of distant screams howled through the forest; the Ilck were eating another nefarious heart. Ilck's used to be sweet creatures; they looked similar to fauns. In the beginning, Ilck would host tea parties and dance through their gardens, welcoming humans to join them in their eternal eutopia. Ilck would maintain the flora and fauna that gave them eternal life, but this would not last, as humanity became greedy and possessive of the Ilck's paradise.

A Fallen Acorn
There is an old but wise saying about the distance an acorn can fall from the mighty oak that dropped it. The truth is that oak trees don’t drop their acorns. They do not really fall. They are placed on the ground. The spot where it lands is picked in advance. It is a well-known fact that there are those who will carry the acorn to new places. For the most part, it is a nearby location, chosen by the Oak to honor the family line. Some, however, for more nefarious reasons, will take the acorn to far-off places, bringing harm to everything the Oak stands for. Everybody knows the extent a parent will go to protect their children. This is a story about exactly that.
