Zinnia's Lament

## To Lose Everything

### A girl torn from her world, and forced into another.

Before The Calamity, Zinnia was a nymph of a dimension called the Faewild, in the city of Syime [S-ime]. The Faewild was a dimension full of life, mobs ranging from small fairies to flying unicorns- quite literally majestic. But this all changed during the war between the gods. Slowly, but surely, the dimension itself shook with rage, lands falling into the void and immediately annihilated. Sometimes, few were suddenly sent to another dimension, Zinnia being one of them. Being the nymph she is, she slept in the tree, in hopes it would protect her from the dangers from outside. It didn't protect her from the purple rock that encased the tree, and sent her in the Overworld, along with other meteors.

When she landed, part of the meteor wall cracked, and she was able to escape- only to see the sandy world around her. It was a sea of sand, nothing else but a recently broken down temple, most likely from the meteors that hit it. There was nothing else, no water, no life, just her and sand. She took refuge in the nearby broken temple, where she shall remain for the next 7 days, enduring sandstorms, meteor showers, boredom, and most of all her sanity.

She was only 15. But on the 7th day, she took her own life in a sandstorm, with one lingering thought: if she was going to die regardless it wasn't going to be in a way that made her useless, it would follow the legend of spreading her life force to bring things back to life. Her last wish, was to become a tree. And her wish indeed became true, her life force traveled away, and into the center of a jungle, to slowly grow, and reveal to the world the Faewild glory. This tree, would be known to be Seren, the child of Zinnia, and her vessel for 550 years.

In that time, Zinnia knew she couldn't let her tree die. She became hung up on this. But she didn't want to make it like her days in life where she was bored, she wanted to have fun. Everyone that came near the tree... they were cursed to die in 7 days. It didn't matter how they managed to deal with the curse, on the 7th day they'd be put into an eternal sleep, and walk to the tree. Then... eaten. This would last for the next 550 years, until she met a fated friend that would change her and her life completely, of course she wouldn't do it without a little fun.

### History

This arc began in the middle of the Shard Arc. It was initially *also* meant to act as a side arc, but to the Shard Arc. And of course, no other lore was happening at the time, so Fallen figured, well, why not make something to entertain everyone, not to mention lets make it fun, but not too long so people don't lose interest too fast. The arc itself consisted of a lot of teamwork, most if not all of the puzzles given could not be completed without having the others helping you. This arc took two months, all of it was planning, building, and lore at least once a week. A lot of it depended on the action in which on of the involved people took. All, well most of the story, was made by Fallen. There was one plan for the story, but all it took was one no from a lore keeper and an entirely different plan was written. Not to mention, this arc isn't even finished, there is one more arc to go with it, to finish a story that was never intended to be this big.
