----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once upon a time in a land far far away, on an island called Atlantis, there lay a beautiful crystal castle. It was made entirely of a blue crystal and shined beautifully like it was a beacon of hope. Beneath it's walls lay the remains of a beautiful unicorn. Legend had it that when true hope and light returned to the castle, so would the unicorn. One day on the island of Atlantis, a mysterious rumbling sounded from one of the small villages surrounding the castle. A giant crack appeared in the middle of the island and an unearthly screamed echoed from within as if something so beautiful and pure was being destroyed. The Pure Spring that ran beneath the island, providing it with life and powerful Terra had been diverted and was flowing into something sinister and beautiful. It was the powerful Being called the Mother. The Mother was the reason why life had first existed on Atlantis until something happened, changing her from a Being of Order, into a Being of Chaos. The Mother raged all over the island, killing half the population of Atlantis before a powerful Hero wielding the two Holy Swords blessed in the breath of the Goddesses of the Age Before, came and sealed her with the Holy magics of the Trinity. Before the Mother was sealed, she placed a curse on the unicorns, causing all but the youngest one to die. Heartbroken, the youngest unicorn grieved and turned into remains to await for the Pureness of the island to return. Suddenly, as the Pure Spring was flowing into the Mother, a high pitched maniacal laugh sounded as the Mother broke free of her bonds, and caused the two Holy Swords to fly into the castle, landing in front of the Prince of Atlantis. The Prince was startled, he didn't know where the Swords had come from; nor did he know what they were. He gingerly picked both of them up and a shock ran through his whole body as the memories stored in the Swords flowed into him. The Prince was the re-incarnate of the Hero who had saved the island, he was the Final child who would carry the Hero's powerful blood. He would be the last child to carry the Pure Beings and the Pure Goddesses blessings and that the Mother was to finally be vanquished-forever. The Swords hummed in harmony with each other and the Prince, they recognised him and shared their knowledge. The Prince felt a shiver run down his back as he realised that the Swords had slowly been drawing power all this time to be able to vanquish the Mother forevermore. As the Swords communed in harmony, they taught him the secrets of the Hero- the secrets of the Seeker. The Hero had been the Seeker, the one who sought out the Final Evil of this island and had left it 80 years before his return. When he did return, he still looked the same age as he had been when he left and had the physical prowess of the same age. No one recognised him for who he was and when he sealed the Mother, they celebrated him and crowned him the King who would rule forever, sleeping dormant in his descendants blood waiting for the time when the Mother re-awakened. When he had first sealed the Mother he had done so because the Swords did not have the power required to destroy the Final Evil- the Evil that had gone around the world before finally returning to its home and inhabiting the Mother. A vicious roar roused the Prince from the memories and he rushed out of the castle and to the Mother. He sent a prayer up to the Pure Beings and the Pure Goddesses and confronted the Mother. As he did, whisperings from the Pure Beings and the Pure Goddesses filled his ear before disappearing and filling him with their power. When that had happened, the Goddesses of the Age Before appeared, ready to lend their power to the Prince and defeat the Mother. The Goddesses of the Age Before were neither Chaos nor Order. They were both and therefore Balance. They had sent the hero to chase the Final Evil as it was causing an imbalance within the world. They looked at the Mother and shouted powerful words of an unknown language. The two Holy Swords swelled with power, glowing fiercely with power, one made of Silver and the other of Gold, infused with the power of the Goddesses of the Age Before and the Pure Beings and the Pure Goddesses. The Prince glared at the Mother and ran towards it, weaving right and left, dodging all of the Mother's attacks. When the Prince was close enough, he jumped and the Pure Beings, the Pure Goddesses and the Goddesses of the Age Before each manipulated their powers into giving him a powerful jump that would flow more power into the Swords. The Prince yelled out and drove the Swords through the Mother, causing it to split in half and disintergrate as a sigh of relief emanated from it on one side while on the other there was a scream of intense pain. The Mother sighed again and floated to the sky, becoming a star, regaining her form of Pureness. As the Final Evil was revealed, the Goddesses of the Age Before created three arrows which three of them fired at the Final Evil, destroying it and removing it from the Earth forever. A Pure Holy light shone down on the castle and the sky whispered as the castle began shining so brightly, it became known as the Beacon of Hope. There was suddenly a scream of joy, a scream of joy from the unicorn as it raced out of the castle and to the Prince, bowing before him and letting him ride him. When they reached the highest point in the middle of the castle, the Prince jumped off the unicorn and stood with the Swords. As he did, all the Beings and Goddesses appeared before him, giving him a Final Blessing to do what he was going to. The Prince raised the two Swords high above him and rammed them into the floor, causing the entire island to shudder and become surrounded by a giant shield of powerful light. The Prince turned to the unicorn and gained its permission in doing the final Act. The Prince sighed in relief and pushed the Swords into the floor more causing the island to shudder once more and begin to sink into the sea. The Beings and Goddesses departed, leaving the Prince and his people to stay in secret below, keeping hidden a time of great worry in the history of mankind. The Prince and the unicorn looked up into the sky to see the star the Mother had become twinkle at them. As they heaved a sigh or pure relief, the island and its protective barrier fell beneath the sea, never to be seen again.
