The dusty dunes desert, like many deserts, was not always so rife with dust and dunes! An age ago, the dusty dunes desert was a beautifully bountiful base for a whole species of teeny-tiny tenda like creatures who called themselves sesame seeds. They lived in the ocean side paradise in peace, with nothing but mountains and seas to wall them in there valley. They had a long history, now forgotten in the sands of time, but one ended by their own choice.

At a peak of their era in prosperity they had the ambition to go downward, as they were not well suited for ocean life or for mountain climbing. An undertaking began ultimately divided their nation of sesame. The main ruler, High Sesame seed and his younger brother did not get along well, so when High Sesame began his digging operation on the western side of their land (unbeknownst to them, would later be the site of a monkey hole/tunnel system), his brother started a separate dig site on the eastern side.

Few sesame people remained with the High Sesame, mostly his dig team who believed in him and a few loyalists. A majority of the people chose to side with his brother on the now declared “Eastern Sesame”. The brother promised them wealth and a home so much better in the underground. His team had made much further progress in their Under Home and the people started to move in. They thrived for many years, the brother naming himself the new ruler had fallen in love with a sesame of rare colour. He called her white sesame.

Years later, Eastern sesame having lost all contact with West Sesame. All of Upper Sesame had started to turn to waste, nothing grew any more with no sesames to take care of the land, and a terrible wind had started to strip the soil of its richness. So happy underground, no one realized that their former home became a wasteland. Eastern Sesame diggers had unearth something terrible, and worst of all, they knew from its cries that 2 more creatures even stronger must be coming. The Under Home became ravaged, most did not survive the attack, and those that did could not make it out of the maze like tendacys of the Underhome. The High sesame and his lives love, white sesame took his secret presidential access to Upper Sesame and a wave a shock rose over him. His people were doomed. The main entrance to Eastern Sesames Under Home had been filled in with sand. Everything had been filled with sand, it was everywhere they looked. Lost for words and thought, the younger brother had finally thought back to his brother, on the other side of their now sand filled land. Not wanting to lose his precious white sesame to whatever may reside in this new sandy terror-scape, he told her to please stay, and that he would be back as soon as he found his brother.

The two sesame seeds were out and about one day, maybe getting stuff from the drugstore. On their way home, strong winds started blowing and separated the two. As the sandstorm subsided, they began looking for each other, but as the desert is incredibly big for two very tiny sesame seeds, it became a task akin to trying to find a needle in a haystack. Maybe even worse.

They spend days looking for each other, and then days turn into weeks, ultimately months. They pass creatures on the way, attempting to ask them if they’ve seen a black or white sesame seed pass by. But as they’re so tiny, most creatures are too far up to hear. The black sesame seed manages to talk to a few bugs, who aren’t of any help, because they haven’t seen his other half. The white sesame seed then finds a bug who’s seen the black sesame seed, but it was days ago, and the bug doesn’t know where he could’ve gone by now.

All hope seems lost. They’re tired, sad, lonely, and feel like they must’ve walked across the entire desert at this point. But then one day, a giant human child named Ness and his friends appear, and after such a long time of uncertainty, they’re finally reunited. It doesn’t take days, weeks or months from the point the black sesame seed meets Ness. It takes mere seconds, as the boy possesses psychic powers and is able to teleport the black sesame seed to his loved on in the blink of an eye.

The so-called “Sesame seeds” are in fact not sesame seeds at all, they are tiny personality chips from two cute li’l ufo lovers.

The two ufos, one dark, one light, were sent to patrol the dusty dunes desert for intruders when they fell in love. Love was forbidden amongst robots, so they had to keep their feelings hidden from the rest of the patrol group. One fateful night, another one of the robot army caught the two lovers together, and no matter how hard they begged it not to tell their squad leader, the (not-so) cute li’l ufo told.

The evil leader thought long and hard about the best way to punish the lovers. Would it be by dismantling them? Telling the almighty ruler Giygas and letting him punish them? Burying them alive? No, he thought, the best way to punish them would be for him to send one of them away and disabling the other’s info transmitter. He banished the dark ufo to the other side of the desert and ripped out the light’s transmitter so they could never speak to each other again.

From across the desert, the dark ufo tried every day to transmit a message to the other, but unbeknownst to him, the light one had no way of responding. He thought that they had forgotten about him, and eventually, after months of messaging, he gave up.

Disaster struck, and a great sandstorm ripped across the desert. The fierce winds and whirling sand ripped apart the steel exterior of the ufos and buried most of the wires that were inside underneath piles of sand. But as the storm cleared, miraculously, two things remained. The small sesame seed shaped personality chips of the two ufos.

Something inside told the two of them that the other was alive. This feeling rekindled their love for each other, and with the rest of the army gone, they were finally free to love again.

Well, as long as they could figure out how to get back together.
