str_3=Many moons ago, Luna left her home in Nevernear to attend the Magical University of Horticulture in the land of Varanna. 
str_25=She received letters on a near daily basis from her family, and she began to miss them so.
str_13=Until one day the letters stopped.  The silent days turned to weeks, with no word from home.

str_20=Fearing the worst, Luna took the long journey back to Nevernear.  

str_28=But when she arrived, she found only ruin.  

str_24=The once great castle of her uncle, the dwarf king, had been destroyed.  The magical gardens of her childhood, gone.

str_21=Instead of them, strange dark crystals were standing up in the desolated country.

str_23=Luna sat down by the only remaining monument of the town, a shining fountain in the center of the courtyard.  
str_26=There in the water, she discovered beautiful gems glistening up at her.  She recalled from her studies how the gems had magical properties.

str_22=Perhaps these gems were the key to restoring this once magnificent land and returning the evil from whence it came.
