   Welcome to the Garden of Illusions...
Welcome, traveller, to my little home away from home. Your visit has caught me just slightly off guard, for you see, there are few who are brave enough to make the journey to this realm of myst and shadows.

This world, wrought by my own illusions and desires, exists somewhere between reality and a dream. Not many could ever hope to find the way without assistance and more than a bit of determination. Could it be that Fate has brought you to my door? Or perhaps, you merely lost your way? Whatever reason it is that you have come to this place, please, rest and stay a while.

My name is Kyira. It is not the first name by which I have been known, and surely it will not be the last. But for now, in this time and place, you may address me as such. For the moment, at least, it is appropriate.

What is it that you will find during the time you dwell here? That, my dear traveller, is an answer as elusive as the whisp of a dream in the waking world. You can never be quite certain what fantasies or nightmares may lie within the ever-shifting realities here. I, myself, could not even begin to compose an answer to such a question, for the truth is truly random and unpredictable. I can only hope that within this realm you can find something to appease your soul.

One warning though, should you be so bold as to venture into the mysts, you must always remember to keep a small part of your mind locked onto the world of the mundane. If you should stray from this rule for even a moment, you take the risk of being consumed by the illusions and lost to this world for all eternity and that, my dear traveller, can be a very dangerous thing.
