Deep within his main dungeon lay the nefarious Keeper Lucifer. He had a pair of demonic wings and a tail to match. He also possessed a set of demonic armor to boot. It was clear that messing with him would a bad idea.
"This world... I can't stand how it's been going. Those pesky heroes, wandering about and having fun. I won't let this happen any longer! I MUST CONQUER IT!" Lucifer cried out in a big, booming, demonic voice.
As he said this, an Imp rushed into his room. Imps were little diminutive creatures with green skin and big red eyes. They wore a red thong with leather straps attached to it and sandals. They had a large sack on their back where they held their valuable equipment and wielded pick axes. For Imps were not for fighting heroes- that would be suicidal for them. Instead, they were for digging out and expanding the territory of dungeons.
"My liege, our attempt to take the Portal Gem was a failure. Our creatures fought valiantly, but when King Reginald and his men showed up, we were routed and had to retreat." The Imp told his master in a squeaky voice.
"Curse that Reginald! The Portal Gem is what I need for conquering the surface world! Bring me Horny! He'll know what to do!" Lucifer replied in a fit of rage.
The Imp, evidently scared, nodded his head and ran off.
Meanwhile, in Heartland...
King Reginald had gathered together all the Lords of the Land. The King, who ruled the underground area of Harmonia, and held his title well. He had a large white beard, showing his age. He wore a silver suit of armor that fit quite well upon his body, and wielded two swords. Despite his age, he was still a formidable combatant.
At the King's side sat his three sons: Balder, who had red hair and a stern look, Felix, who wore a helmet even when going to bed, and Tristan, who had brown hair and a small beard to match. All three Princes wore similar armor that covered most of their body aside from their forearms.
The King became to speak. "Lords, I trust you have heard of Keeper Lucifer, and his nefarious plot to conquer the surface world of Harmonia."
All the Lords replied with an "Aye."
"He has attempted to steal the Portal Gem and use it to get to the surface world, thereby endangering everyone up there. We must not allow him to accomplish his goal!" The King continued.
"So what do we do now?" The strongest of the Lords of the Land, Lord Pureheart, asked.
"We are to split up the portal gem into twenty pieces and scatter them across the twenty lands of this world. Those who can take a gem will do so, and those realms where gems cannot be taken will be laid instead down upon the realms most well known area." The King told his Lords.
With that, the Portal Gem was shattered and split up into twenty smaller gems. The Lords took sixteen of the gems and took them to their realms.
The seventeenth gem was taken to the realm of Moonshrine and laid down at the Dark Temple of the unholy Dark Angels.
The eighteenth gem was placed in the abandoned realm of Cherry Blossom, where no Lord reigned.
And the final two gems were left in the possession of the King and the Princes.
"Now he will never succeed, I bet my life upon it..." The King muttered to himself.
But back in Lucifer's realm of Demonhorn...
Lucifer had brought in his most trusted general, the Horned Reaper, into his chamber.
The Horned Reaper was a huge red demon. He had a pair of huge horns upon his head. He wore a pair of shoulder guards and a chain with a jewel on it. He also wore a small loincloth and armor around his hoofed legs. He could not be summoned for long in a realm not owned by Lucifer due to the magic of goodness preventing him for being there for long. However, when he was there, he could ruin someone's day easily. Lucifer affectionally named him "Horny" because he thought it sounded funny.
"Alright, Horny, what's going on in the other worlds?" Keeper Lucifer asked.
In a voice even more booming and loud than his, Horny shouted, "They have split the Gek into twenty and placed each in all their worlds. We must gain each part and rebuild it of we wish to take the surface world!"
"Of course! I'll get my Mentor to help out! I must not fail! We must not fail! Evil must win! Evil always finds a way!" Lucifer shouted.
Thus began a long quest to take the Portal Gems back...
