| ''Once upon a time, during the dreaded Arctic Autumn, a collection of monsters and creatures from across the realm found themselves huddled together in the warm clearing of a deep forest. They had just uprooted a human settlement and claimed it as their own, christening the new monster haven, "Desidera". Their victory was marked by a chilling omen – a human skull, signifying the retreat of their former human adversaries.''

| |
| ''Communication was initially a challenge amongst the various monsters with diverse languages. In response, they created a novel language system, an adaptation of Morse code, using rocks. The town's governance was unique too. If someone misbehaved, they were made the leader, subjected to the constant chaos and commotion of ruling over the monstrous inhabitants.''
| |
|
| |
| ''Life in Desidera was eventful. Every weekend, the Desidenizens, as they began to call themselves, would gather to entertain themselves with comedy sketches mimicking the humans they had once driven away. They laughed about current events, the chill of the autumn air swept away by their collective warmth and happiness.''
| |
|
| |
| ''The residents of Desidera sought strength and competition, hosting the 'Olympics of Desidera'. Monsters honed their evolving powers, abilities, and monstrous physiques, competing not for medals but for precious metals, reflective of their savage origins.''
| |
|
| |
| ''Their peaceful existence, however, was short-lived. Rumors of humans returning sparked a defensive uproar. The Desidenizens dug up old human weaponry, including a sword-based mortar. But the triggering of this weapon led to an accident, a sword lodging itself in Dex's toe, the dragon from HR who, despite being a lover of karaoke, mochi filled nuggets, and venti espressos, had a fiery temper. This led to a new law: "YOU CAN'T FIGHT."''
| |
|
| |
| ''Then, a troublesome development unfolded. Grimlet the Brood had been hoarding all the candy. Rather than confronting him directly, the Desidenizens cleverly circumvented the no-fight law by leaving "accidental" bombs in his house. Grimlet's disappearance marked the end of the candy crisis, but introduced death into the colony.''
| |
|
| |
| ''A human, seeking refuge from the cold, wandered into Desidera. The Desidenizens greeted him with a horrific warmth, burning him alive in the town square. As the Arctic Autumn began to thaw, icebergs around the town melted, releasing a parasitic worm known as "Frotime." This worm infected the Desidenizens, causing frustration, anger, and a chilling coldness that seeped deep into their minds.''
| |
|
| |
| ''Meanwhile, Dagah the Elder, the original resident and protector of the Hope Tree, became so incensed by the colony's bloodlust and fires that he kicked the tree in frustration, tragically rupturing a sap vessel in his neck and dying in the process. Desidera was now left without a leader or sage figure.''
| |
|
| |
| ''The Vorpal Bunnies, who had taken residence in the abandoned abode of Grimlet, wreaked havoc by feeding on humans, drawing attention to the quiet town. Soon, a human army arrived, leading to the mysterious end of Desidera, its final fate lost to the annals of time.''
| |
|
| |
| ''This was the tale of Desidera, a tale of unity among chaos, of a monster haven birthed from a human's demise, and of the merciless power struggle between nature, humans, and monsters. The town may have vanished, but the story of its peculiar residents and their grim fate lingers on.''
