So, those of you who saw the other thread like this probably noted one thing about it. It... Made no sense. I even changed the title to match due to that.
Now, I'm going to be blunt, I was expecting something that would make sense when I made that, and was proven wrong in about two posts. So, this is a thread where there needs to be a coherent plot, if you want random story writing, there is a thread for that.
The fun part is still making it up as we go, but keep in mind setting, past characterization, etc. more than in the other thread. So, if we're in modern day NYC, we can't have an elf randomly stroll in and turn the protagonist to stone. If it makes sense in context, go for it. But think twice if it might not.
I will start:
Once upon a time, there was a magical forest.
