And lo, there came a terrible storm, a rage from the desert not seen for years on end.
And Bluecross looked out across the land, now heaving with energies not of this world, and remarked... "Oh. One of them"
And there with him was Hoopy Frood, who did enquire of him "One of what?"
And Bluecross did reply with much ambivilence "Oh, you know, one of those thingies... storm thingie, but without the... thingie."
And upon seeing the look of Hoopy Frood's face, BC did become discouraged and asked "Where's Turjan? He always has an explination for these things."
And lo, from out of the swirling sands there came a fierce glow, like a supercharged firefly as seen by someone on psychadellic drugs, and that glow did resolve to be Tink.
And tink did shout over the wailing storm "The word is temporal. Its a temporal storm."
And then did she continue with a threatening menace unusual for a creature of such discreet size, "Now if one of you bastards could give me a hand?"
And there the villagers now gathered did see that she held the frayed end of a cord known as bungee.
And so with great might, and no small amount of fairy magic, the village hauled on the bungee cord, and there was a distictive *brrrrft, zzpit* and then a slightly less renowned *pop*.
And the storm did end as quickly as it began, leaving in its wake the wasteland desert as it stood before, though now marred by an exhausted Tink, a bungee cord, and at the end of said cord... an odd creature
And so it was that the villager Ban was returned to the village.
And without much delay to work out that he had infact just jumped a couple of years into what until recently was his furute, Ban did brandish a stick of such pointyness that it gleamed, and a tangerene of such oddness that it did not much resemble a tangerene at all.
And so did Ban welcom those villagers who were new to him, as well as a couple who got in the way.
