This is my first fanfic EVER so read at the risk of it absolutely sucking

Igniting the Spark

By l3urning7lngel

Prologue

No one yet knows the origins of The Blind Eternities. Some say there once was nothing but The Blind Eternities, and that creation was spawned from them. Others say all The Planes were once one and The Blind Eternities were created when the worlds were separated. Regardless of their creation, The Blind Eternities play a major part in the lives of all beings. The Blind Eternities are the great black, the world between worlds where all Planes exist. Some few are born with the power to survive the black nothingness that is The Blind Eternities. Those few have access to ultimate power, power some mortals, and immortals, can't even comprehend. They have the power to 'walk' from Plane to Plane. Well, not 'walk' in a literal sense of the word, for there is nothing in The Blind Eternities upon which to stand! These few people are born with The Spark. The Spark is a gift, the greatest gift, given an individual by the mystical force that is The Blind Eternities. Only one in a million is born with The Spark, and only few in that million have the chance to Ignite it. It takes an act of great pain, or power, to Ignite The Spark, but those who do will gain ultimate power, for the very Planes will bend at their command. Yet, even as I speak, there are those who would use that power, for evil.

~~~~~~~~~~The Blind Eternities~~~~~~~~~~

A dark figure floats in an endless sea of black. Vague colors and shapes float through this sea of nothingness, but the figure seemed disinterested in what was occurring around him. He seemed to be waiting for someone, or something. Hours passed, and the figure did nothing but float in the darkness, waiting. Finally, the figure grew impatient, and called out into the great black, "Ob Nixilis, you coward! Show yourself! It is obvious the dragon has disserted us! Come now from that foolish little Plane. We have much work to do!"

As the figure spoke, one of the shapes floating in the blackness seemed to give off a faint glow, before a large creature materialized before the dark figure. The being was massive, easily standing over twelve feet tall. His skin was a pale red, and large black spikes jutted from his shoulders and around his neck. His lower body was covered in coarse, black hair, and he stood on two cloven hoofs, rather than feet. Four magnificent jet black horns erupted from the sides and top of his head. The creature's eyes burned with a hatred and a hunger for destruction greater than most humans were capable of. But these things are to be expected, when dealing with a demon. "Be careful who you call coward little human. I would squash both you and the dragon, if we were not so pressed for time." Said Ob Nixilis.

"Of coarse you would," said the dark figure, "but then their would be no one to save you when you attempted to complete the ritual yourself. This is no time for squabbling Nixilis. Without the Mana the dragon was providing, we will need to find a new source if our plan is to be complete."

"Do you have any ideas, or are you merely stating the obvious?" Nixilis growled. If there was one being in the multiverse he hated more than the traitor dragon, it was the person before him.

"Actually, I do have an idea. One of my spies has informed me that the Mana on Zendikar has been unusually turbulent of late. Unlike some others I could mention, my agents actually know what they are doing." Ob Nixilis snarled at the little figure before him.

"I don't like your tone, you maggot eaten corpse. If it wasn't for ME, you would still be trapped on your lonely little Plane, slowly dying as your own powers drained the life from you." The great demon laughed. "I still remember the look on your face when I appeared before you! You were so close to death I thought you would die from sheer shock!" The dark figure did not find this funny at all. Instead, he turned away from the demon and stared out into The Blind Eternities, as if looking for answers in the shifting Planes around them.

"I want you to go to Zendikar." He finally said, "See if there is any way to harness the Plane's potent Mana without lasting damage to the Plane. Zendikar is unstable enough as it is. One of my agents will come asking for a report. Don't fail me like the dragon did, Nixilis. I have a special plan in mind for him." Without waiting for a reply, the dark figure stepped towards one of the swirling, shifting shapes, and, in a brief flash of light, vanished.

The great demon sat alone with his thoughts. "Sometimes I wonder if it's smart to trust him. Despite my vast powers, I'm sure he'd be the victor if I were to challenge him now. I must bide my time. Unlike him, I can wait centuries for the ritual to be completed. He can't. Tread lightly, Nixilis. Strike the moment his guard is down. Then I will be the master of this Multiverse" The demon then stepped towards one of the many Planes, and left The Blind Eternities.

*****Authors Note*****

Well, there is the first chapter of 'Igniting the Spark'! Personally, I felt it was kind of short, so to all you readers out there, expect the next few chapters to be much longer. To all you Magic fans, I hope the description of Ob Nixilis did him justice. I did my best to describe what I could see of him on the card, then I just filled in the blanks. To all you Naruto fans, our blonde hero will be making an appearance in the next chapter. Please R&R, and, please, no flaming, cuz if you do, ill most likely break down and cry and stop posting chapters, and I'm sure nobody wants that! (or at least, I don't!)

Peace Out!!
