Prologue: Observation and the Chosen Ones
Earth.
A small little world in a very distant part of the universe much like ours and for some time we have been watching this small orb floating amongst the distant stars. At first glance it is a beautiful world with great oceans of blue and green land masses of all sizes. White clouds float along the surface all on their own and huge storms can sometimes be seen. The life on this world is vast and unique with many species very similar to a few on our world yet with many differences in between. The birds that fly amongst the clouds and the storms and the marine animals that populate the oceans and finally the land animals that walk or run along the great plains or mountains or deserts of the world. They all come in many, many varieties and I have never seen a more diverse world.
But the one species that we are most intrigued by and have been watching the most are the dominant species on the world. They have a unique structure: only two legs which they walk on and somehow maintain a balance on two feet as they are called with ten toes and then there are the hands, the most interesting feature of them all. Located at the end of two long arms that stem from their shoulders much like our front legs, the have five fingers, long and flexible. They are able to crush objects in them and still be able to delicately pick a flower between their fingers. These creatures have strange faces and no two are the same. They have complex personalities and strange rituals. They are called Homo Sapiens or more commonly known………………. as humans.
We did not know of this world until very recently, for this world also has magic but it is very limited. There have only been a handful of skilled witches and wizards. Merlin, Cleopatra, Houdini are only a few names among these magic users. But the youngest one has been so far the most powerful for she discovered our world and was able to view and record all that happened on it. Her name was Lauren Faust and she wanted to use the knowledge she gained from us to teach her world how to live and love. So we granted her this and let her view the life of a special pony named Twilight Sparkle and her friends and all the lessons they learned together. In return, we were able to view her world and learn from it as well.
You probably are wondering who we are and what kind of world we live in. Well you shall learn of our identity later but our world is called Equestria and the race that lives on this world are known as Ponies. They, alongside the Griffins, Minotaurs, Zebras, Bison, and Changelings, call this world their home. But we are now in danger, for an evil force walks the surface of our world. It is alien and insidiously evil as it has caused nothing but pain and death from the moment it arrived. We could not fight it alone and we sought out Faust for help. She told us that humans are extremely special and only a few would be enough to help defeat this menace. So we searched the world of Earth for our champions……………and three caught our eye.
What brought them to our attention in the first place was the friendship they shared. These three were the strongest of friends and most certainly the most unique. They are creative and reliable with skills that we need to finish off the threat that plagues our world. We have gathered much information on them and have found a few similarities between them. First is their love for our world, even though they do not know it exists. They have all created works of fiction around our world and all have been very thrilling and captivating. The other similarity and this one is most odd, is they all wear masks.
The first is called Magnum or Doctor Magnum by his peers. He is a tall and muscular specimen and very hard working. He is protective of his friends and never backs down in a fight. He wears a red menpo mask that was worn by the samurai warriors of old (our history knowledge has expanded greatly since studying their masks). Above it he wears a blindfold that covers one eye when he needs to look but other times it covers the rest of his face. He also wears a black Stetson above that. He is the hard hitting yet friendly guardian of the group.
The second is a very odd and funny character. Dubbed The Eccentric Mister E, his friends just call him E. He lives up to his name by being very random and hysterical and well…….eccentric. His mask is a black and gold Guy Fawkes mask which is a rather creepy mask with a mustached smile plastered on it though he does not wear it all the time. He usually wears big sunglasses that look very expensive for one like him and over his mouth and nose he wears a bandana, colored black with white patterns on it. He either wears a hood or a hat over his long, black hair and wears and absurd amount of jewelry. He may be an overall clown but he means well and hates to see others in pain or sadness.
Finally, the last member is an enigma. Extremely unpredictable and with almost no emotions whatsoever, his name is Wilde. His full name is S. M. Wilde but we don’t know what the S and M stand for. He always wears black and a great coat and hood over his body and head. On his face is a black bauta mask which is the perfect mask for hiding ones identity as it allows one to live without ever taking it off. He is the leader of this group there is no doubt in that but would rather let Magnum do all the action. His friends look up to him for some reason be it his wise knowledge or the air of power he gives off. If only we knew more about him……
“Sister?”
“Hmm?”
“We are ready.”
“Oh good! I was just finishing up this file on our little chosen ones. Is the gateway prepared?”
“Yes and so is the council. You and I shall go retrieve them and the others will stay and wait for their arrival. Hopefully they should come through without any problems.”
“Very well then. Let us make haste to Earth and retrieve these storytellers three.”
