The Dark-Heart Star
Chapter 1: The Legend of the Star
It was a legend, the Dark-Heart Star, said to hold mystical powers beyond anyone's imagination. An evil cosmic sort of heart-shaped meteor that supposedly landed near Toad Town every thousand years. Most thought of it as a story of entertainment and never really thought of it to be real.
Others curious tried to find it, landing nearby thinking it would be easy. The Dark-Heart Star could hid from some, while it glowed for those who are worthy. Drawing them near with its strange power.
It was dark, a cold night. Mario sat near his desk light reading. Luigi walked in, placing his coat down casually. "Boy, I tell ya, bro, it is really cold out there."
"Hm?" Mario stood up, "What were you doing out so late?"
"Me? Oh, nothing really, looking for something interesting."
Mario chuckled, "a little late for some grand adventure, don't you think?"
"No way bro, I can feel it! Bowser is scheming. Something is definitely going down." Luigi jumped over to Mario.
"Maybe tomorrow, huh?" Mario and Luigi nodded and headed off to bed. That night was a fateful night, the night the Star would come down and land in Toad Town. Toads often questioned how it stayed and left as it pleased. The power of the Star is a mystery that may never be solved. Many professors studied sites where it supposedly landed. Many false photography of the Star were sent in. Coins were rewarded for pictures of that very Star. But none of the pictures seem to be real.
That night the Star fell down. It called and called, it waited and called. The night was late and the Star was weak, it needed to feed off of someone.
It could sense great power in individuals and hone in on them, treating them to a sweet song luring them into a horrible trap of corruption that they would only hope to escape out of, for now it waited plotting and searching around for one who would be able to feed it.
