//------------------------------// // The Tellers room: oragens of darkness/ stage one // Story: Arctic runner- vol 1 catching shadows // by adaptroug //------------------------------// The tellers room aka The world between worlds. In a comfy arm chair set an old man who gave up his youth for the knowledge of the multiverce. A small fly flies over his head seeking for something but doesn't know what. "Would you like some knowledge my friend?" the man said in a caring yet despite his age youthful tone. The fly merely stopped flying around his head and flies vertically up and down to indicate a 'yes'. The man snapped his fingers and a small fly-sized chair appeared floating to his right facing toward him. "Now to start......" He began but was interrupted by a zipper appearing from no where splitting the dimension allowing a pink, fourth-wall breaking, pony to walk out. "Ah, a new guest. I was getting a little tired of talking to my pet fly," he said to the visitor, "and who might you be." "I'm pinkie pie. Who are you?" She replied in a energetic, friendly tone. "Oh, where are my manners," He said while snapping his fingers causing a pony-sized chair to appear across from him, "I am The Teller, The one who watches all things, now please take a seat I was just about to begin to tell the tale of the first stage of....." "D's life, or Darkness because ether one will work for me," she Interrupted as she took her seat. "Both in a way, you will have to listen to see," The Teller said chuckling at his forgetfulness that this one could talk and probably had more knowledge than him in some cases. Snapping his fingers a white book with a black eight point star with each point bearing a hollow spot as if an unseen locking mechanism was sealing the book. Suddenly one of the hollows were filled with a red gem allowing the first few chapters to be accessible. "Looks like we get to see the past and present of the first stage," the teller said then began to read, "It all began about 900,000 years ago....." There were two kings, brothers, gods, each respected the other. One was the god of light the other darkness. They each were put in charge of guarding two shards of pure evil each holding four spirits. The god of darkness was already dark herted but with the shard of darkness so close that he was consumed by four dark beings. Moon, shadow, fear nightmare. These four could only use their full power in the dream realm. The god of light sensed this and hid his shard within the core of the planet. The god of darkness seeing no other option used his shadow ability and possessed all of his brothers citizens to make an army to dig for the shard. "This sounds similar to nightmare moon and princess Celestia except with a stone that turned the dark king even more evil," Pinkie blurted out. Smiling knowing she could compare this to a situation back home he replied with, "The only differences between the two is space and time," Suddenly a blue portal ripped open and a blur blur shot through it before even hitting the wall another portal opened but orange and the object shot out of the dimension. Overlooking the randomness of what had occurred he continued, "The king of light went into hiding for he knew....." If he were to fight his brother he would become influenced by the darkness. Instead he recruited four warriors that were under the influence of the darkness by purifying them. Their names were Kite, Zack, Terra, who hadn't actually been purified, and Lance. They served as spies for him until the shard containing Wrath, lust, death, and evil were found. being reckless when the shard was found Kite and Zack tried to grab the shard and run, consequences befell them both kite was again consumed by his anger and became the original Wrath, Zack was possessed with death and vanished only to be seen again by the dark god. Once news had reached Terra, she turned on Lance, influenced him with evil. The four made their way to the dark gods' fortress upon which he absorbed two of them, Zack and Terra. Seeing this Lance broke the influence of evil and changed into a blue phoenix who went into hiding. "Is there going to be any action soon?" pinkie pie asked. The teller thought for a moment of what to say. "We wont know unless we read now will we Pinkie," he calmly replied. This drove Pinkie into thought for a moment. "Your right, Please continue," Kite saw this and wasn't about to throw in the towel ,but only delead his fate. once absorbed the dark god became The True Nightmare and threatened to drive the world into an immortal darkness. "The rest of this chapter is Illegible," The teller said with a bit of hurt for a part of history that time had forgot is a part that he forgot. "Well just continue with the next chapter this is getting good," pinkie pie said pulling a bag of popcorn and a soda out of the air. "Well who am I to argue in the quest of knowledge," he said flipping to the next legible spot. "Five years out of high school...." Was when Dylan's life began to fall apart. The wrath had escaped it's prison and found him, Toying with him, eventually taking over the body turning it into the Black Terror. With a new body he sought power and brought the spirits together. Dylan fought back and for a brief day he had the strength to find Lance. Not aged for he slept in Crystal. Lance understood Dylan's position and agreed to watch him as he went back to combining the spirits. "Sorry I have to leave now bye," Pinkie said as she vanished in a poof of smoke. "She will be back," The teller said closing the book and putting it on a table and pulling out another book to read as he waited.
