Welcome to Gaia! ::

Long ago, in the valley beyond the mist, there was a village filled with little creatures called Blobbies. They lived in wooden huts made themselves, and they had no owners. The only superiority the had was the classification of children and adult. But, there was one Blobbie that stood out from the rest, and his name was Silent Sam.
He lived in the smallest hut, and had lived there all his life. He has no adults to take care of him, and no one would speak to him. That is, he wouldn't speak back anyway. You see, all his life, he had never spoke a word to anyone, not even alone.
One day, he was walking throught the forest, trying to find a friend. He had left his home behind, knowing the he should not turn back. Nothing could stop him from the action he was taking, except for the help of one young girl.
Walking down the road, he looked up ahead. He saw the most beautiful human he had every seen. She has flowing lond hair and something seemed to be trouble her, so Sam decided to go and see what was wrong.
He approached her cautiously, wondering, hoping she was not dangerous. She looked at him, and he looked at her. They watched each other for a moment, and then the girl burst in to tears.
He nudged her slowly, as if to say, "What's wrong?"
"Oh little one..." She said through her sobs,"I have seen your village, and it is horrible. No one to take care of you, no one to love."
He urged her to go on.
"I'm glad you could stay here with me. I'm so sorry to bother you. My name is Pharoah, what's yours?"
He picked up a stick from the ground and wrote in the dirt, 'SAM.'
"Oh, so your name is Sam, is it? Well Sam, I want you to take me back to your village, I have an idea."
As he lead her back, he wondered what she would do. When they got to the gate, he told the guard she ment no harm, and they went the the village square.
Calling out, the girl called Pharoah said, "Citizens of the Blobbie village, I have come to ask a favor of you. I live alone in a wonderful cottage, with fountains and paradise behind it. You are small enough to live there, and I know you live in poverty. Will you come with me?"
There was a cheer from the villagers, and they packed their things and were lead back to the cottage.
And it truely was what she told, it was paradise. And together, Pharoah and Sam, formed the Blobbies Backyard, where they all lived out there lives. And, in the days to come, Sam spoke for the first time.
