Once upon a time there were a bunch of evil and wicked witches which were both male and female. They decided to start a village on the far end of the world. They put this one dark, cold, dreary soul into this very tiny village. They surrounded the village by a very evil touch. When someone would get close to the village, they would get a very foul taste in their mouth and their skin would begin to crawl. There were a lot of people who were curious about this little village that seemed to be stranded like a ghost town. No one could get near the village due to the evil touch of the wicked witches.

As time went by the wicked witches would swoop down by the village and cast more and more spells upon this one dark, cold, dreary soul. This poor one was so tiny and frail. The spells would cause big old sores and disfigurements to the poor little one. Then one day these sores and disfigurements would start to grow into something even odder. Out of these sores and disfigurements, there would be body parts that were starting to grow. Legs, arms, feet, hands, heads…all these things started to sprout out of these sores and disfigurements.

Each and every time these wicked witches would swoop down by the village and cast more spells, the body parts would be engulfing the poor little soul. The body of this poor soul was getting bigger and more and more body parts would be sprouting out. There were even weird and stranger things coming through these sores and disfigurements. There were animals, trees, rainbows, fairy tale creatures, creatures of the sea, etc was sprouting out. This one poor soul was becoming many things within one body.

The wicked witches swooped down again one day and cast a spell onto the whole village. As all the witches gathered around one another they started to chant. “Dear God of all the creations of all our kind, bring a plague to this village so that no one will want to be near the village or be curious about it. Let this village in the corner of the world grow invisible so that no one can see. When others look this way, let them see something that doesn't exist. If one was to come near and actually see this village, let there grow hatred towards the village. Let them tease the villagers with some other taste besides what they got and then let them take the taste away from them. Let these villagers be unwanted. Let them have a craving so deep and so painful for the taste that they cannot have. Let these villagers know that this is the only part of the world that they will be able to sustain.”

One day the hideous creature that was in the village had escaped. It went into other parts of the world to see what was out there. There were a lot of cruel and evil people out there that wanted to hurt them, tease them, and torture them. There were a few people out there that were curious and wanted to help. Oh or is that part of what the wicked witches wanted this hideous creature that was worse than an ogre to believe and think.

Years past by and this creature was wondering the world away from its village. No matter what the creature did, it couldn't get rid of the foul taste or touch that was placed upon the village. There was no escaping it.

One night this creature was sitting all alone and thought that there was no way that the village was still over on the far end of the world. The village was within this creature. This creature is so scared, so alone, so full of pain, and craving for a gentle touch. No matter how much there was a touch other than what the wicked witches cast upon the village; it could not penetrate the witches spell. This hideous creature was plagued with it for life. It will be a life full of never-ending pain, torture, agony, grief, heartache, and loneliness.

So as this creature was sitting all alone, it decided that it will just go back to its little village for the unwanted ones because it truly was unwanted. The village is where this creature belonged because it didn't fit into the world.
