Legend of the Moon

Prologue

"Thousands of years ago, when magical creatures and humans still lived together in harmony, all of the magical creatures were under the rule of a beautiful white and gold dragon named Katerina, who was as kind as she was beautiful. Because of her leadership the magical world prospered. Even though she was loved by all of her subjects, she was still lonely for she had no one to love and truly love her in return. For many years she lived with her loneliness until one day, when she went out for a walk, she came across a young male dragon who was about her age. His name was Arturo, who was a strong dark blue and black dragon with dark gray eyes. The moment they saw each other they both knew that they were meant to be together. For many years they lived in happiness with each other, but fate was a cruel mistress, as their happiness would not last.

"Deep in the darkest pits of the Earth a shapeless creature known as the 'Darkness' was forming. It had the ability to transform into anything and since it was a being of pure evil it was able to corrupt creatures of good , permanently, into dark hideous creatures. When it finally came out into the open it used its powers of corruption to build up an army of both humans and magical creatures and led an assault against the rest of the magical world.

"Arturo and Katerina led the forces of good against the Darkness. The battle seemed to last forever with neither side gaining advantage over the other. Then finally the dark forces were starting to be pushed back and it seemed that good would triumph over this battle. But the battle was still far from being over for Katerina and Arturo still had to fight against the Darkness who was still fighting strong. Arturo and Katerina both fought bravely against the Darkness, who couldn't stand a chance against their combined power. With one last desperate attack, the Darkness launched a blast of pure dark energy straight at Katerina. Arturo saw that Katerina would not be able to dodge the attack so he jumped in front of Katerina and took the whole blast head on.

"Not even the most pure of creatures could withstand that much evil before they themselves became evil. Arturo's gray eyes became a dark shade of red and his already dark blue scales became even darker. Because the Darkness had used up all of its energy on the attack, it could not fight so it used Arturo to attack Katerina. Katerina dodged Arturo's attacks, pleading with him to stop but her pleas fell of deaf ears. She knew that she would not be able to fight against Arturo and the Darkness would soon be recovered again. Katerina knew that there was only one thing she could do to prevent the Darkness from taking over the world but she had to do something unthinkable. Summoning up all of the strength she had left, Katerina used her magic to seal the Darkness, Arturo, and all the other dark creatures into a tiny pocket dimension and sent them all deep below the surface of the Earth.

"She was severely weakened by using so much of her power but she was even more weakened by grief because of what she did to her beloved Arturo. She was so sad that he was gone that she gave up on life itself and started to fade away but because she still had a strong connection to all of the creatures of the world she didn't fade away completely. Instead she became one with the night sky and thus became the moon itself, to watch over the world and all its inhabitants forever. It is said that on nights of the new moon she comes down to Earth to...Jake! Pay attention!"

Jake snapped to attention "Wha...? Sorry Gramps I guess I dozed off a little" said Jake with an embarrassed smile.

Sighing "Well, it is getting late. You better start heading home. We will continue your lesson when you get done with school."

"Ok bye Gramps! See you tomorrow!" Called Jake as he left his grandfather's shop.
