You can also read the text here:

The Dragon is sleeping away in its den, dreaming of fire and wealth, the servants of the galactic empire are hidden, planning to conquer power, and in some distant future, a group of hackers are trying to break into the massive computer system that controls a world of glass and stainless steel.

Everything is different, everything is the same. Welcome to the fantasy genre

All the situations described above share a common feature: they are set in fictional, fantastic places. However, these places reflect a part of the world we live in. In all of them there is a conflict of good vs evil. Through fantasy, we reflect our fears and hopes for the future.

In the present day, we are living a massive success of fantasy. Movies like Lord of Rings, novels like the Harry Potter series, and videogames like Skyrim and World of Warcraft are making fantasy trendy again

In this unit, we use fantasy as a way to improve our storytelling and creative skills; many years ago, there was no television; family and friends gathered together to share stories. People spent time together, enjoyed each other company, and wondered themselves with tales. In this unit, we’re travelling back in time to know how they felt then.
