It occurred early 2012, only a couple of months ago...
Around the world reports came in of mass numbers of people being 'spirited away' for what appears to have been ten to fifteen minutes - all at the same time. Where exactly they disappeared to is unknown, however the stories were all very similar in that they'd encountered creatures 'not of this world' and any who had technological equipment on them said it wouldn't work at all.
The point where the largest amount of reported disappearances occurred - and apparently continued to occur sporadically - is Echo City, a large metropolis located in the United Kingdom. After a UN summit to assess what should be done, a United Governments Agency had been set up in Echo in order to investigate this apparent 'doorway' to a whole other world filled with creatures that people had only ever thought existed in myths and legends.
On the other side...
For nearly two millennia the presence of humans had been almost non-existent - only the rare occasional ones that somehow fell through the veil. However, they are remembered quite well by the long-lived...
In the realm of Lunariata, the inhabitants have a mixture of feelings about the sudden returned connection to the human world - many remember the mortals as being treacherous and are still blaming them for the predicament they found themselves in. Some wish to take over or eradicate the human race altogether, some wish that the worlds could remain separate, and others believe this is divine intervention in order to rebalance the worlds.
But the even more disturbing development of 'bonds' between some of the immortal and the mortal may change things altogether...
With the two very different worlds beginning to merge will the conflict between technology and magic, between mortal and immortal, be too much to ever find a balance... or will the connection that ties the inhabitants of both prove to heal the wounds of the past and make the world whole once more?
