long ago, the planet was rich with extravagant, sprawling forests, bursting with a vibrant diversity of mushrooms, moss, ferns, vines and flowers of all varieties. of these, the greatest of all was the ‘aionios’ forest. it was the home to cooritters of every fur, feather and fin. hidden deep within its endless foliage, a village that was inhabited solely by thirteen elves. though few in number, each elf possessed a unique and extraordinary ability, which they used to help their village grow, prosper, and endure. the village was led by capidgeccino, who could talk to all cooritters, particularly the birds, who were invaluable to the village. they warned of impending storms, potential predators, and even helped in village communication. having been raised among the forest’s endless plants and herbs, she developed a vast knowledge of botany, which came in handy for brewing remedies for the village.
life was peaceful, content and harmonious... until the day that everything changed.

one misty february morning, the village awoke to the air metallic and still. the cicadas stopped mid-song. even the river slowed, as if bracing.then the sky fractured.the frenzied cries of a flock of crows filled the air, leaving capidgeccino shifting anxiously. "the birds are saying it’s going to rain, but something isn't right. they’ve never behaved this way for a storm.” a momentary silence hung in the air before capidgeccino quickly made a run for her nest. the nest, capidgeccino’s roost and sanctuary was perched high within aoinios' tallest tree. it provided the perfect lookout of the entire forest. as she climbed to the top of the tree, the first drops of rain began to fall through the leaves. it didn’t take long before she noticed this wasn't a normal storm. it was a glittering green and where droplets fell, bark hardened. where the silver lightning struck, leaves crystallized. the cooritters fled as birds froze mid flight, their wings trapped in stone.capidgeccino watched as the forest began to disappear before her very eyes, trees and vines turning gray and lifeless wherever the rain fell. the storm surrounded the village and it wouldn’t be long before she too was set in stone. after a moment, she forced herself to move and quickly began preparing an elixir she hoped would be the key to saving her kind. meanwhile, the other elves began to say their farewells. as soon as the mixture was ready, capidgeccino grabbed the mug of the glowing elixir and raced down the tree trunk, desperately praying she’d reach everyone in time.but the rain reached her first.in an instant, her body stiffened - the magic rain froze her where she stood, as a statue of stone, the mug of the elixir falling from her hands and shattering at her feet.

but time is patient.ever so slowly, but surely, the forest healed. seeds slipped from the occasional dwellers and nestled within the cracking stone. new trees sprouted from fallen pinecones, their roots reclaiming the soil. fresh grass sprawled across the once-silent earth. clear rivers have even forced their way through the land once more.
but the village has long since disappeared.
the statues of the elves, many now eroded by time or covered beyond recognition in thick layers of vegetation, remain scattered among the ruins barely recognizable.on a misty autumn morning, a young fantail pigeon left his nest, exploring the forgotten village in search of a new home. he soon stumbled across a strange tree. it was no cedar, oak or birch. it was slender, with waxy green leaves and eggshell toned flower buds. the pigeon flew to it in hopes of gathering suitable nesting material, when the first blossom unfurled it's fragrant petals, revealing a reborn dryad inside.the elixir had not failed, but taken root.she had warm skin, like sunlit bark, with dark hair and eyes that faded to a leafy green. capidgeccino breathed again. the elixir that she concocted thousands of years prior sustained her life within the soil, and regrew her as part of her forest. capidgeccino opened her eyes and found the pigeon perched on the branch in front of her. despite the initial shock, she assured the bird she meant no harm. her memories began to return as she slowly looked around. she was thrilled to see the tree, still standing exactly as it was before. she looked up at the nest longingly, wondering how she could get back up there now that she was so small. the pigeon followed her gaze before ruffling his feathers and turning around. capidgeccino quickly realized he was offering her a ride up the tree.

they flew to the treetop.
she looked around to find the cracked stone revealing the life beneath. everything was as it once was, but her. she knew she was changed. where she once spoke to the forest, she now heard the replies from within, like it was deep rooted within her blood. where she touched, stone crumbled. where she walked, blossoms followed.
her and the pigeon soon again descended the tree, back to the strange plant she came from. it now boasted a magnificent cherry - ranging in tones of faded green, mustard yellow and a deep red-orange. "do you know if these are safe?" capidgeccino asked. the pigeon shook his head, rather confused. these were just blossoms a moment ago. having never before encountered the plant, the pigeon was rightfully reluctant in trying the fruit. but temptation was stronger. he pecked a cherry then cooed, and that was enough of a sign for her to take a chance on them herself. she picked a berry and cautiously ate it. it was tart, sweet, and juicy, similar taste to a cherry but with more of a hibiscus flavor.
it’s pit, a hard, green seed.
having been grown from a magic elixir, the cherries seemed to "unlock" her. she felt revitalized, and found that she could grow back to her original size at will. astonished, she gathered as many of the cherries as she could find, and then made a quick return to the nest. she could hardly wait to research the newly discovered plant.
she started off by removing the seeds from each berry, some to be planted at the tree's base for later, and some to be researched. for the next three days, she studied. numerous combinations with the cherries and seeds were tested. she called the plant arabica, it's cherries cascara. it was soon realized that it was much more versatile than other plants she had encountered. the cherry could be consumed, while the seed could be cooked, ground up, mixed with water, or even milk. it even was found to have restored her energy.she called it cooffee.

after having been fully inspired by her research, she decided to take a break. she looked up outside, to see that misty haze she knew all too well. “everytime something important happens in my life, it always seems to be foggy outside.” she mused, her eyes then landing on her pigeon friend. “you know, i still need a name for you. how about fog?” she continued, her mind suddenly reminiscing the warm beverage she made for her village in the days before -- from boiled leaves and bergamot oil, with a dollop of frothy milk on top. ’it helped a lot of people feel better when they weren't feeling well.’ she thought to herself. “you help me feel better, fog.” she concluded. fog softly cooed in agreement.
the next several years passed with capidgeccino continuously studying and learning more about arabica. though things may have been lonely at times, she always had fog perched close by, acting as a steady companion while she expanded the endless possibilities cooffee brought her.and somehow, the sky's misty vale always seemed to return whenever a new idea began to bloom.

the nest also got less lonely over the years.
a few new cooritters have come through every so often.
they’d sometimes get a new egg or two, which was always welcomed.
as it was always nice to have more regulars in the nest.
