=) My first story of the Big Four, that´s so nice.


"Nothing is forever, my dear"

The cave entrance was sealed with a perfect circle of wood, carved and painted with runes and writings of the Golden Age, a time when everything was still perfect. As a frame, there was an iron bar taken from the Moon and blessed with prayers that were long forgotten by men.

It was a sacred piece, created to be irremovable by anyone with selfish and/or bad purposes.

From time to time, tsar Lunar would send a moonbeam to check the seal. To observe and to look for marks or signs that someone had touched or even tried to remove it. For more than three thousand years all moonbeams had returned with the same old and good news that everything remained the same and that no one, human or animal, had the courage to enter that part of the forest yet. Every time it happened The Man in Moon smiled with relief.

There was a reason to why he had placed such force and power in that specific and unique seal.

Not even the King Of Nightmares himself was worth of that size of effort. His first and second prison had been in the underground world, surrounded by the darkness so that no light could create shadows. Perhaps some powerful spells and two or three unbreakable chains.

But that level of power... Tsar Lunar had only used once in his whole life and it had cost him more than two hundred years of life, in a time even before he chose the Big Four to become the Guardians.

That was exactly why the Man in Moon paled so abruptly (scaring all his luna robots) when for the first time in more than three thousand years he felt a dark presence walking through those old trees, heading exactly to that cave hidden from time. Immediately MIM sent fifty powerful moonbeams there and stood on the edge of the moon closer to Earth, anxiously waiting on tiptoes.

And that's why when none of its moonbeams returned, Tsar Lunar felt a fear that he hadn't experienced in so many millennia invading his chest.

"Not even you, little lonely man."
