Myakka Preserve

Go through the living maze that is Myakka at your own risk, for you must navigate through time to return to reality.

Somewhere near a town called Fruitville are ancient lands known as Myakka that may still be open to the public to come and visit, relax and enjoy, and walk along the many nature trails. Some ancients say that Myakka rewards those who are in harmony with the land and curses those who are not with a sense of fair justice. It is also said that Myaka has been given a small dominion over this part of the earth, therefore creating these ancient lands.

Myakka attracts those who are disadvantaged or troubled and seeking comfort. Some have come back out of this mystical maze enlightened, restored, and renewed. Others have become lost, never to be seen or heard from again. Some ancients whisper that they are those who have been cursed by Myakka.
