Introduction
In a forgotten time before politics entered the land and the Badlands were simply referred to as the Mountain Valley of Koopa, several ancient world relics are collected and kept safe by their inhabitants.
However, a planetary catastrophe rocks the planetary surface similar to what happened to earth in what should have been a planet killer. It came in the form of a massive asteroid that was just the right size not to destroy the planet. However, it is large enough to completely change the landscape of the Koopas forever.
The Mushroom Planet survives but is thrown into an ice age for hundreds of years.
When the planetary system finally equalizes several centuries later, the rich Mountain Valley of Koopa has been reduced to a large active volcanic region with open pits of lava and rivers of magma. Isolated pockets of the Koopa clan manage to survive thanks to powerful Koopa mages Karailia and Kaseus who will eventually be known by the Koopa Clans of today as the most powerful magikoopas ever and also the originators of the magic arts that all magikoopa practice today.
At any rate, several of the relics collected prior to the asteroid impact were either destroyed or scattered to the winds.
One element in particular was lost despite the combined efforts of the remaining Koopas to find it. As centuries pass, its existence falls to legend then myth and are soon forgotten. Only the direct descendants of Karailia are relayed the secret concerning the relics especially the particular one that was lost those many years ago.
It isn't until the year, 1641 that a clue as to the fate of the ancient world relic resurfaces.
In the vast deserts of Sarasaland, a yet unidentified explorer finds himself in this arid and dry unforgiving environment stumbling over the dunes.
This lone explorer is not lost however.
He has been doggedly following scraps and tid bits of clues pointing to some relic of the past. Little is known of the relic only that it is supposedly powerful or valuable. Anything else concerning it has been lost to time.
What the explorer soon learns is that this particular relic falls under both qualities.
At long last this explorer whom everyone knows as Osevius, a royal ancestor of Princess Daisy of the Sarasaland Kingdom finds what he is looking for.
The relic turns out to be a star shaped box cast out of solid gold with engravings which he instantly recognizes originate with the Koopa region known by this time as the Badlands. Other languages are also present on the box indicating the caretakers of the relic appear to be ancestors of the Koopas dating back before official records even existed.
However before he can become ecstatic about the find, he deciphers the message that is inscribed over and over within the engravings on the box.
"Whoever possesses this star holds the fate of the world in their hand and the power to change it. May ye be the world's light or its darkness?"
Osevius wisely decides prudency is needed with regards to the ancient relic he has found. What is more, the relic appears to be have been bound shut by a magikoopa. No matter what he tries it will not open. Apparently, the magikoopa of old were extremely powerful. Either way, if this relic falls in the wrong hands in time they will forcibly open the box and spell doom for the entire world.
But something this powerful can't be simply hidden away. What he can't seem to get over is the markings of the Koopa Clan are ever present on the ancient relic? Were they the original owners or did they simply find it and were hoarding it for some reason?
However, as the explorer continues to rotate the box looking for clues as to how to open it, the box suddenly disappears in a cloud of small circles, squares and triangles. No doubt the work of magikoopa prowess. But with no one other than himself in the area, he can only assume that this was some sort of built in defense mechanism.
So it would seem his search turned up the gold but like the city of Troy that is no more.
Not being a man paralyzed by failure, Osevius spends no more time on the relic's pursuit and shifts his efforts to uncovering other secrets on his list.
As their is no further instance of anyone seeing or hearing of the famed relic again, its existence is lost to the passage of time once more becoming legend.
