Recolony is a twelve chapter tale of creation, abandonment, magical emergence, dis-integration, humanoid fury, and ultimate self-destruction. Once upon a time... humanoids create a great lush forest before moving onwards to create large cities. In the humanoids absence, strange magical creatures emerge quite naturally from the trees. Goblyns, Nomes and Faeries inhabit the forest and live happily and in harmony with each other and their environment. They dance around fires and sing ancient little tunes and chant until... the humanoids return to the forest from the city. They attempt to accept the creatures' presence, but ultimately become annoyed and irritated by the spawn of their forest. The humanoids initiate an all out creature holocaust in an effort to recolonize the forest. Grabbing, hurling, and destroying the creatures one by one, the humanoids finally clear the forest only to realize that the magical creatures *are an essential part of the forest and their death also means the death of the forest itself. Engulfed in flames, the humanoids die along with the forest... mortally sad they meddled with the mysteries of the universe.
