Years ago, when the days were longer and the nights were darker, there was a mysterious house at Krabi* village that was called the Krabi tavern. This extraneous place had its own special aura that attracted people both from the villages nearby and other adventurers from further away. (Fun fact: *Krabi in Estonian means Crab, the animal, in English)
There was something very enigmatic about the exterior of the tavern. It felt like in the old times and the condition of this building told stories from hundreds of years ago. The roof was brittle and the paint from the walls was peeling off, signaling the passing of time.
The secret of the place didn't lie only in the house itself but also in the mysterious master of the tavern. No one knew exactly who he was or where he had come from.The legend said that he was an old fairy who had landed on the earth hundreds of years ago and had then taken a human form.
The master of the Krabi tavern was known for his wonderful powers. He could see the future and really listen to people's heartaches. People came to the master to get advice and find solutions to their problems. The master was smart and caring and it was impossible not to agree with his words.
The master was also a great storyteller. People came together to the tavern every night to listen to his catchy stories about the past whilst wondering together about the future. Anyone who entered the tavern door, left the place being richer in their spirit and their soul.
The tavern and its master's legends contained not only inspiring stories but also warnings. It was said that if you were honest and kind then you could come in the tavern's doors and experience its magic. On the other hand, if you intended anything ill and carried an evil heart, then the doors remained closed for you and the master was able to reveal your true nature.
Years passed by and the tavern became more popular than ever and the local Krabi villagers were proud to have such a magical and charming place. Anyone who really wanted to see and experience the real wonderland, came to Krabi tavern to witness the magical aura of the place and hear the wise words and wonderful stories from the master.

She had heard about the mysterious master of Krabi tavern and had decided to find him. When she entered the tavern, the master greeted her with warmth and listened to her heartache.
The master looked into Maia's eyes and told her softly: ''Your long lost love has found a new road but it's not the end for you. Go to the forest, look for a big oak tree and listen carefully to its whispers. There you'll find the answer you have been looking for.''
Maia followed his wise words and went to the woods. She found a big oak, sat next to it and listened. The tree whispered to her for a long time, opening up her heart for new opportunities and showing a way to find love again.
A week later Maia entered the tavern with a big smile on her face. She thanked the master deeply and shared her story with others. From this day on, the Krabi tavern was known as a place to find lost love and discover your deepest desires.
The place continued on being infamous for its magical stories so people kept going there to experience the wisdom and magical powers of the master and his tavern.
