Trying to make the story as interesting as possible, Ophelia then went on to tell the story of humanity. She told of how things supposedly were in the time shortly before Earth's fusion with the magical world. She told of how people relied on science, not magic, in day to day life. Ophelia told of marvelous technology and miraculous medecines. She spoke about wars waged between different human countries, especially World War III, which weakened the world populas enough that an invasion from the magical world could not be prevented. (Even then, most did not believe in magic. The world did not know how to properly combat it.) This eventually lead into scraps of human communities fighting to survive in a reality that was not their own, many human languages lost in favor of the ones spoken by magical folk, and of the scientific knowledge lost in the process. She even told of more minor bits, such as the reduced human lifespan (It used to be about 120 or so years, but as of now the human lifespan is roughly 60-80 years, depending on the health and habits of the human in question.) and well loved human cuisine. By the time she finished with the brief lesson she was leaning against one of the Baracks' walls, grinning from ear to ear. "We were somewhat of a violent species before being brought into this world. Due to our knowledge, we were effectively at the top of the food chain. Now, well... just look at us." A small chuckle escaped her lips. "Rather surprising, isn't it?"

"There's some technology left, but most of it was lost or destroyed. You could say that without the proper resources to keep it all working, we were set back hundreds and hundreds of years. The most technology you'd now see would probably be some sort of mechanical weapons, like the guns I carry, or a few low maintanence baubles. That doesn't mean that we won't regain some of the more useful bits in the distant future, though." Indeed, humans were always working at trying to rediscover old technology. Some settlements even figured out how to work electricity and moderatey advanced computers in this world, but Ophelia's village was not one of them. "As for the food, you'll definately get to try some later, perhaps at the Bakery or the Tavern once we get there." Ophelia then stood herself upright, no longer leaning on the building behind her. "I suppose that means I should start with the tour already."
