//------------------------------// // Prologue // Story: A Monster In Equestria // by Creative Paradox //------------------------------// Prologue Earth: year 2020, comic-con Faith's POV 'Wow I can't believe I'm finally here at comic-con' i thought with a huge smile on my face. As I walk through the doors to comic-con and put my mask on I'm dressed as my oc which is a hybrid of several different monsters from games and movies I like. Such as the xenomorph queen mother from the alien franchise, the moorwen from Outlander, the wraith from the evolve game, the otachi from pacific rim, the snake like tongue from the strain series (doesn't affect anything it's only used for feeding), the Blacklight virus (like alex mercer) from prototype 1 and 2, godzilla's atomic breath, and the speed of a night fury from httyd 1-3. Also my oc is able to feed on radiation if no other food is available. After a bit of walking around getting pictures taken from other cos-players and going around marchant booths I found myself at the memorial that was made for all of those missing people. It was filled with pictures of those who disappeared the day they went to comic-con. I read about the displaced stories but I didn't think that they were real. Honestly, I liked the stories and their concept but I thought it was pretty crappy that people would result in using missing people for their stories. When I looked at the memorial I saw pictures of many people with their costumes on like 3 Spartans and a astartes, Ben 10, and what looks like a spider man oc but he's missing the mask and an amy rose. After letting out a silent prayer for the missing people I continued walking around the con until I saw a merchant's booth with a lot of cool things like the double barrel shotgun from doom (2016), the motion tracker from alien: isolation, the T-Virus from the resident evil franchise, and much more. After looking around i saw a tablet that looked like it was made out of obsidian and had ancient writing on it. I didn't know why but I felt drawn to it almost as if it's choosing me for something I would have thought about it more if the owner of the booth hadn't scared me half to death by popping up next to the tablet. The guy was dressed as the creeper from jeepers creepers franchise he didn't say anything to me which kinda creeped me out but then i noticed a sign off to my right it read 'stay in character' i shrug at this and thought 'ok, that's not to bad' i move towards the tablet with the ancient writing on it making my movements like the wraith does to slither around and once I get in front of the tablet that I'm now sure is made of obsidian I make a jester to it silently asking how much it costs. Luckily he gets the jester and places the price tag in front of it. My eyes widened under my mask at how cheap it is and immediately alarm bells went off in my head but I ignored them. I pulled out my wallet and checked how much I had the tablet cost $400 and I had exactly that much in my wallet. Yet more alarm bells went off in my mind but once again I ignored them and gave the kreeper my money and took the obsidian tablet but before I was able to turn around the creeper stopped me and jested to another sign that I also didn't notice. It read 'if you buy this tablet then leave/carve your mark into it.' I shrug again and before I could ask the kreeper if he had something that could carve into the obsidian tablet. He just reached under his booth and pulled out a hammer and chisel and so I started to carve a mark I made up when I was a kid. (The mark of the Titan) (Just the symbol don't pay attention to anything else) The symbol means protection and i think i did pretty good on carving it after handing back the hammer and chisel, the creeper just gave me a creepy sinister like smile while giving a wave basically saying bye bye. Before I could do anything I noticed a light glow in the corner of my eye I turned my head to look at the tablet in my hands and noticed that the symbols were glowing very brightly. I only had enough time for a single thought before blacking out 'SHIT!' *End of prologue*
