PROLOGUE



Be forewarned! This tale, should you choose to continue reading, is racked with grief and peril. The tale of how the ordinary can do the extraordinary. You have been warned........

Some things that are lost, should never be forgotten. Legend fades to myth, to be forgotten altogether with the passage of time. Such is the case with Pandora’s Box. A being of unimaginable power, with the ability to transcend realms, had been bound to the box at the beginning of time. The box had lay dormant for centuries, until a young maiden named Pandora, had discovered the box in a long forgotten temple beneath Rome. Curiosity got the best of Pandora, as she gazed upon the black cube that seemed to draw the very light from the room. She had taken the box, with the intent to sell it, but something about it called to her. She opened the box, and released something that was never meant to be freed. The being went on a rampage nearly bringing the Roman civilization to ruin, and opening a gateway to another realm, intending on conquering both at the same time.
But something happened then that the demon had not planned upon. From the new realm came two other powerful beings. Alicorn sisters they were, rulers of the other realm. They battled the demon but to no avail. As they were on the edge of defeat the sisters summoned a powerful weapon to be used on the being, the six Elements of Harmony, Laughter, Generosity, Kindness, Loyalty, Honesty, and Magic. As their final play the sisters used the magic of the elements, attempting to destroy the demon once and for all. But their most powerful weapon did not work.
Seething with rage from its near demise the being had prepared to deliver the final blow to the alicorns, when from the ashes of Rome stepped Pandora.
In her arms she cradled three new elements, Rage, Honor, and Courage, that had been created when the demon escaped. These new elements were the Elements of War, pure unrestrained power. The being was distracted by this new ploy long enough for the alicorns to summon the Elements of Harmony once more, along with the three new elements. Using the power of the nine the sisters created a banishment crystal and bound it to the box. But the use of the crystal came at a terrible price.
For whosoever used the crystal must fuel it with their life. Guilt ridden for letting the being escape Pandora had volunteered and had stood alone before the demon. As it reached out and picked her up she activated the crystal. Eldritch light played from the crystal to Pandora and up the demons arm. As the world looked on in terror Pandora faded and was gone, while the demon was pulled, body and soul back into the box.
Taking the box with them for safe keeping, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna left the Elements of War with the rulers of Rome, seeing them as to dangerous to their realm of peace. As they departed they closed the tear in between realms and placed the box in a place known only to them for safe keeping.
Now the seals on Pandora’s Box are weakening and inside the demon of old watches and plans, knowing that soon he will be able to manifest in the world once again........

Thus our story begins.
