The Plot

    There were 4 places for faeries, elves, etc. to live.  The sky, the forest, the underwater, and the artic.  The sky was controlled by Evlair, she lived on the moon and kept all the creatures around at peace.  The forest was kept in order by Tairel.  All the creatures there loved her.  The underwater was kept at ease by Dewdrop.  And the artic were ruled by Sievra.  But there were evil spirits, not just plain evil faeries, but demons and scares of all sort.  They began to destroy these places.  The kingdoms were too small to defend themselves.  One day the four rulers met:

    "The demons are ripping the skies and killing our inhabitants!" Evlair cried. 

    "The forest is being burned and ruined!  Most of my citizens have been killed!" Tairel wailed. 

    "The demons are taking all the oxygen in the water!  They have killed off most of my people and ruined the area!"  Dewdrop said sadly. 

    "They are melting the artic and killing everyone around!"  Sievra added to the problems. 

    "Our kingdoms are just to weak to stand up against the demons!" Tairel said, shaking her head in despair. 

    "We need to gain more power somehow..." DewDrop trailed off. 

    "Maybe if we..." 

    "If we what Evlair?"

    "Well we could....." 

    "Tell us, Evlair!  Tell us!" 

    "What is we join our kingdoms and form a huge empire?"  Evlair finally finished.  The other three sat and thought. 

    "Lovely idea!" Sievra said finally.  The others nodded in agreement. 

    "So be it!  We will now join our kingdoms!"  Tairel announced. 

    "But, what shall we call this new empire?" Evlair questioned. 

    "How about Artical!"  Sievra suggested, which was the name of her kingdom. 

    "No, no!  We can call Oceast!"  DewDrop argued, for it was her kingdom's name. 

    "No, we can call it Forestra!" Tairel put in her kingdom's name. 

    "I have an idea." Evlair said.  "What is it?" They all asked at once. 

    "We won't use a name from one of our kingdoms." 

    "It would be impossible to agree on a new name!" Tairel disagreed.  The other two nodded. 

    "But I have an easy way to do it," Evlair said smiling. 

    "Show us then," DewDrop urged. 

    "Alright!" Evlair started, "All we have to do is take the last part of each of our kingdom's names!  So, take the last part of Artical!  That's al!  Then we have st, and ra!  and Tashi, that's hi!  That makes Alstrahi!" 

    "Evlair, that won't work! It says clearly in the book of Fae, all joined kingdom names must not exceed 6 letters!" Sievra complained. 

    "Then...we...we can take off my kingdoms part," Evlair said sadly. 

    "Evlair you are very kind to give up your part....I say we make her the first Empire Founder for her wise actions and her kindness!" DewDrop said proudly. 

    "Excellent!" The other two said at once.  

    So it was decided.  The new empire was named Alstra.  And the 4 began to rule and repair the new world.  With the combined forces they could then easily fight off the demons, too.

    They invited the few remaining Elves, Faeries, Magica, and Maltra to come and live in their mysterious world.  Some of them were tricksters.  They cast spells upon nearby flowers.  So every time a human came along and picked a flower they shrunk to the size of an elf.

    This became a real problem......

    Alstra became extremely populated because of these flowers.  Sievra and Evlair, being the most magical, began to disenchant the flowers they could find.

    Tairel and DewDrop made a memory charm for humans that didn't want to stay.  That way they couldn't tell anyone about this mystic land.

    That was over 200 years ago.  As you know, Elves, Faeries, Magica, and Maltra are all immortal.

So, here we all are, and this place hasn't really changed a bit!
