Celeste and The Witch Garden

<p><strong style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>The Witch Garden is more than just your average typical back garden</strong><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> - it's more like a large and diverse self-contained magical ecosystem with fields forests rivers villages and towns - even a castle - spread over its lush and green lands. Harper the clumsy talking owl lives there as do Alditha the white witch the Green Man and Skoros - the less than pleasant megalomanic steampunk wizard. </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>When a giant flying teacup appears over the Green Man's nook Harper is convinced Skoros is up to no good and reports the matter to Alditha. They discover however that the occupant of the teacup (which is really a spaceship in disguise) is actually a humanoid alien called Celeste who looks about thirteen years old. Celeste hints that the Witch Garden is only a small part of a Class M planet called RY53-6 and seems intent on locating a series of mysterious silver orbs. She has a bio-mechanical alien sidekick called Alpha (who looks like a typical 'Grey' alien). They're Astarians and together they're on a mission to find The Sleepers - an Astarian space crew they believe visited the planet thousands of years ago. </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Near the centre of the Witch Garden in a town called Enki-Wood is a monument to the nearest thing the WitchGardenfolk have to a god (Vin Taoo the Great Gardener). The monument is Stone Hedge and it's actually the petrified drive system of The Sleepers' dimension-hopping spaceship. When Celeste accidentally wakes The Sleepers from thousands of years of cryogenic sleep the battle is on not only to defeat Skoros and free the Witch Garden from his malign and polluting influence but also to thwart the leader of The Sleepers who wants to make the planet uninhabited again as it was when he originally found it. </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>It takes the united efforts of all kinds of WitchGardenfolk as well as Celeste Alpha and some of The Sleepers to overcome both threats before the main Astarian Fleet arrives and a deal can be brokered to co-exist with the Witch Garden's newest residents.</span></p>
