places as magic portals
forests
abandoned buildings
portal to a safe place for people who are lost / abandoned / feel alone / need a safe space
once they are taken down, the people who are still on the other side will forever be trapped there
lured in by the aura & the fact that no one would bother going into an abandoned building
where do these people go?

when you think you are being watched in a forest? that's the faeries keeping an eye on you

faeries go back and forth between their kingdom and Earth to try and help Mother Nature
as humans cut down more forests, more faeries want to stay in their kingdom and are giving up on helping Earth
anything that happens on Earth does not affect the faerie kingdom
faerie kingdom is in a different dimension
a pocket dimension where people can just escape reality for a moment
people who enter the same abandoned building are able to interact with each other in the same pocket dimension
refuse to be seen by humans for centuries for their own safety
