Prologue
You may have heard the story of Pandora’s Box, how Pandora was told not to open a certain object. (I have heard many different accounts on what exactly the object was, for instance some say it was a jar, but I believe it actually was a solid block of wood with a chamber inside.) But letting her curiosity get the better of her, she opened it and released all the horrible things that were inside. Such as sickness, hate, greed, bad luck and many more evils out into the world, leaving only a gem named Hope at the bottom of the Box.
But you probably didn't hear about the prophecy, how one day the gem would be opened to counteract the evil that was released. So Pandora dedicated her whole life looking for “the gem promise”. She didn't find it in her lifetime though, so when she died she left that legacy to her daughter, who then passed it on to her daughter, and it continued through the family line for many generations. Until one day, the sixteenth generation found the key and opened “Hope”. And up from it sprung medical remedies along with self control, morals and good luck, to counterbalance the evil that Pandora had released years before.
But while everything balanced out for the most part, good luck and bad luck tilted back and forth, like a scale that had gone crazy, making everyone’s lives miserable. After enduring this torture for many moons, the few clans of the young world decided that there should be a gathering so that they might attract both kinds of luck with the amount of people there. It worked. Good luck and bad luck came down on the gathering like ghosts. And offering a prayer and a sacrifice to the gods, they stored luck into a boy’s body in hope that they could keep Luck controlled. But it was not meant to be. The boy whom they watched so carefully escaped and to everybodys delight, was never heard of again.
