AUTHOR NOTES: This may sound a tad bit strange to you all, but I have thought about this story when I was younger watching the Ninja Turtles. But being a child, I had never pursued the idea until recently after watching the TMNT movie out of pure boredom. The story just popped back into my brain, inspiring more and brighter ideas! It was like a light bulb turned on after so many years of neglect. So with knuckles cracked and writing utensils ready, this story is now in swing!

Archaeologists have unearthed the Shrine of the Rose, an ancient holy ground where an unknown civilization have worshipped the Rose Goddess. Archaeologists are still unsure what the Rose Goddess could represent, or what her name was. They believe that she was the sign of fertility and the promise of love. And yet, locals have feared the grounds, never coming close to the shrine. This left the archaeologists baffled, how could a goddess of fertility and love be feared by many? They just assumed that the locals were afraid of the goddess because of her powers and her title as a deity.
It wasn't until they uncovered an ancient description written in Latin in the tomb of the goddess that has shed the light of the locals fears of the goddess:
Tenebrae Odium qui egredietur de umbris.
Dolores omnes animas quæ egrediuntur,
Sed lux.
Mors et miseriam eam formator
Child of aeternis tenebris.
Perditio eam vocationi.
Nullam et portis,
Emergere umbris et exercitus eorum.
Semen hominis est in fine,
Et erit flos Rose.
Ita dumtaxat flamma ignis lucet,
Habebit et finem imposuit Rose.
Cor eius transfixit,
Nec arma
Sed flamma cordis.
English translation:
Darkness shall come forth out of the shadows of hate.
Souls of sorrow shall take all that come forth,
Taking the light.
Death and misery is her maker,
Child of eternal darkness.
Destruction is her calling.
She shall open the gates,
The seed of the Rose.
An army of shadows shall emerge.
Humanity's seeds shall end,
The Rose shall bloom.
Only a flame burning so bright,
Shall put an end to the Rose.
Piercing her heart,
With no weapon,
But of the flame of the heart.
Little did they know how close the prophecy was to coming into reality.
