The Story of the People and the Imaginaries

Once upon a time... ...the imaginaries, the humans, the animals, and the plans all lived together in perfect harmony.

However, there was one imaginary, a dark imaginary, that wanted to control all things.  But how to do it?


He researched this question for 10,000 years.  After this long period, a clear answer formed in his mind.  The answer involved a ritual in three distinct parts, which he executed.

The first step was to capture 1/3 of the imaginaries into a magical painting.  By precise art with a paintbrush, the dark imaginary was able to bind imaginaries within a painting.  There were still many more imaginaries for humanity to turn to, however.

The second step was to imprison the second 1/3 of the imaginaries into a book.  The dark imaginary wrote a fantastic, wonderful story, and managed to fit both the magical painting and the second 1/3 of the imaginaries, inside of the story. There were still many more imaginaries for humanity to turn to, however.

The third step was to imprison the ifnal 1/3 of the imaginaries onto a stage.  The dark imaginary wrote a powerful play, that humans would love to watch.  In the play, the book with the painting inside was a central
prop.  With the play, the dark imaginary was able to capture the final third of the imaginaries.

All of the imaginaries had been captured, save for one: himself.

The final sealing worked like this: After the stage was erected, the dark imaginary sealed the stage.  The dark imaginary held a wooden staff, which had a piece of chalk at the end.  A magical line was drawn around the perimeter of the stage, in the shape of a hexagon.  The magical line is a signal to human actors, to break out of their trance, once they cross the line, leaving the stage.  Human actors fall into a trance when they enact a play, and the magical line breaks them out of the trance.

Here is the crucial step: Just before the dark imaginary closed the perimeter, just before the chalk that was drawing the end of the line met the chalk at the beginning of the line, the dark imaginary slipped across the little crack, so that once the imaginary sealed the line, the dark imaginary was the ONLY imaginary on the outside of the perimeter.

All of the other imaginaries in the entire universe were carefully sealed on a stage, in a book, in a painting.

Now the dark imaginary was the only imaginary in the entire world that the humans could relate with, and he dubbed himself as the only thinkable king, with the title: "The Real World."

From this day forward, everything became dark for human beings.  Serving The Real World, the human beings enslaved the animals and the plants, and performed the bidding of The Real World.

This is a dark story.

This story is so dark, one would think even that this story came from The Real World itself.

However, it is not entirely dark.  There is a way out of this predicament.

Every lock has a key, every poison has an antidote.  There is a way to undo the evil spell.

First, there is a need for heroes.  The heroes must be humans.

Then, the seals must be broken.

Break the perimeter of the stage.  Break the line.  Unconfine the stage, and let the stage trance liberate imaginaries.

Find the book in the play.  Liberate the characters from the encasing covers.

Finally, find the painting in the book, and remove the frames from the picture.  The frames keep the image confined.  Break the frame, and the last third of imaginaries will be free.
