'Amphibia ran away from home in order to save the frogs that were dying in the stream at the bottom of the garden, leaving behind foster parents and step-brother who showed her no love and looked down at her as some odd hunchbacked freak. Exhausted after days of travelling, searching for a pure stream in which to place her beloved sick frogs, she lay down and fell asleep at the edge of a forest. Here she was found by the forest sprites and nymphs, who, recognising one of their own, transported her magickally to the heart of the forest. There she was nurtured and loved until her hunchback was transformed into the most beautiful, delicate wings. To this day she lives in the Magickal Forest, protecting her frogs and their offspring. At dusk one may be lucky enough to find her sitting contentedly with her oldest and dearest friend, Anuras. You are welcome to join her, her only request is that that you protect the Earth and all it’s wonderful creatures and plants, especially her dear frogs!'
