3000 A.D.

A small village in the forest of Tharcontrovia lies peacefully, unchanged for almost a decade. Then, one day, a tall, strange man arrives at the edge of town. "You can call me Mr. Oddman." Is what he first said. Mr Oddman was a 7 foot tall man dressed in a classic business suit, but the strange thing was that nobody ever saw him without a white mask over his head. His identity was hidden. Mr Oddman lived in a small cottage on a hill at the very edge of the village, with the only thing barricading him from society was a wall of pine trees. For several months people did not mind him, he stayed in his house most of the time and if he did come to the village to buy food or supplies he rarely talked to any villagers. Life was peaceful for the Tharcontrovians, until one day, a man named Bill Edwardison, announced to the village folk that Oddman could be a threat to them. "He is hiding his identity!" Announced Edwardison. "He wears a mask over his head, so he must be hiding his identity for a reason! I think he wants to destroy our village!"

Mr. Oddman did not know of this until one night, when he was writing one of his books, he heard marching outside of his window. He looked out to see the entire village, carrying guns and knives, lead by Edwardison. Panicked, Oddman grabbed his book and ran out the back door. The villagers destroyed his house, brick by brick, plank by plank, until nothing but fragments of wood and cloth were on the ground. They had destroyed his house, but Oddman himself was no where to be seen. They eventually found him at the edge of a small cliff, and under the cliff was a raging river. Edwardison readied his bow, but just when he was about to shoot, Oddman fell into the river, holding his book. The last thing the village heard from Oddman was a splash.

The next day, the villagers found Oddman's book lying on the shore, with Oddman nowhere in sight. The book had a planet pictogram etched into the cover, with a flipped triangle in the center.

The village, not knowing what to do with the book, put it in a glass case in the local jail house so it could be burned. But, to the town's surprise, when they went to retrieve the book, they saw the glass case, shattered, and the book was gone.
