Meet Arrow and Elodie, my Godchildren and rulers of this dimension. Don’t let them fool you, within seconds your mind will be melted and you will forever be under their spell.

Once upon a time in a land far far away there lived an unlikely pair, named Arrow and Elodie. The two were inseparable and relied on one another for most things. You see, the even farther off place they hail from, can no longer be entered and the two are the last of their kind. In this magical homeland, where the skies are purple and the oceans are abundant with life, one can only live for 9 full moons before they are exiled to an unknown land, where the people of the new world speak with boos and bahs. Understanding only each other, Arrow and Elodie chose they would rule this new world, for they were often misunderstood and underestimated.Arrow found he could control those around him by simply smiling for moments to lure in the unsuspecting natives, then opening his mouth and letting out a fierce war cry just as they thought he was tamed. He discovered the one who carries the gateway to his home world, could magically tap into a source from their far-off land and provide nourishment at a moment’s notice if the right squeal was made. While Arrow conquers hearts with his smiles and breaks spirits with his commanding exclamations, Elodie chooses to win the hearts and allegiance of her subjects with a smile and wink. Daily, unwary victims fall prey to her bashful and blushing looks. With one calculated glance the people of this world rain upon her the power and fortune of a thousand boo sticks. The unfortunate people of this land may never know what is truly happening.

Just as Arrow and Elodie thought they were the last of their kind, they heard the gatekeeper and provider of boo sticks communicating. What they heard was only legend, but could this legend be true? Is there another that may be exiled, is there another from their land that can help them conquer this world? To be continued…
