On a clear, sunny day you decide to take a walk into an unknown part of the wood. The path leading off into the darkest and deepest parts of the forest, the area unknown to man-kind. Tales of fairies, dragons, unicorns and other mythical creatures were rumored to have begun here. People who have dared to venture far enough into this mystical place and have been fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of what lies behind the curtain of secrecy. Not many have come into the darker side of the forest, but those who did told tales of creatures so great that God himself would be astounded. Creatures, that were not of mortal souls. But despite all tales told to you, your curiosity has captured the best of you and you begin your journey into the unknown. The forest is thick, dark but full of life. The path beneath your feet is worn out and tattered as you go along. Suddenly you come to a crossroad. Five ways to turn. Four of them lead to safety one in each cardinal direction, the fifth leads to a world unknown to your people. You take the unknown path. This path is much less worn, the foilage has grown over and onto the dirt path and there are no signs of footprints. You keep walking, slowly making your way around the seemingly never ending road until finally you reach a wall of ivy. Sticking your hand cautiously into the wall of leaves you push aside the plants and look through the darkness. A paradise! Not a feared and devilish place, but a beautiful glade! An endless glade! Mountains can be seen from where you stand. Mountains in the forest! And the beach! The water can be heard as well. A paradise indeed! As you begin to walk into this haven of beauty, a small noise is heard off to your left. Suddenly one the most beautiful creatures you've ever seen steps through a thicket of branches and steadies itself. It resembled a horse with long neck and an exquisite mane flowing from it's nape. It's head turns to you in greeting.
"Welcome to the Glade. I am Myri. The Watchkeeper of this paradise." You stand, astonished that this creature is speaking to you! This, beautiful one of a kind animal is standing there having a conversation with you! "This is the Jaden Glade. A haven and sanctuary for mythical creatures of all sorts. You too are welcome here. But please, keep all of the magic within our glade. If it was ever to leave the safe walls of the glade, none knows what danger these mythical creatures might face." With a swift bow, Myri turned and trotted off into the distance. Leaving you in awe of the scene before you. A whole new world to explore. A new adventure sitting right before your fingertips.
