The Prologue (Legend of the Infinity Pearl)

Legend of the Infinity Pearl
100,000 Years ago, in a dimension far from Mario’s, scientists were working on making a power source that would power their realm forever. While beginning to construct the power source, something went wrong and a pearl that held every element in the Dragon Realm was created. After creation, a chain reaction occurred on all worlds in the dimension. Oceans began to swell, earthquakes devastated the land and mountains began to crumble. And without warning, the worlds themselves began to merge into one simple planet where all life lived under the might of a single being, a Dragon Lord. The pearl was from then on known as the Infinity Pearl, which gave the owner the ability to command all the elements and use them to their disposal. For thousands of generations, the Infinity Pearl had been the crest of the Dragon Lords, dragons who have proven themselves worthy of ruling over the dragon planet, Drexia. And each have proved that they could use the powers the pearl bestowed upon them without hope of personal gain. However, the most recent ruler, a being whose name has merely been whispered by residents of Drexia and has been forgotten by the Order of the Dragon Lords, has grown so powerful, that his own power has shattered the Infinity Pearl into eight parts, giving seven to each of his most loyal soldiers while keeping the core for himself. And now, after 10,000 years, a portal leading to the Dragon Realm has been discovered in the Mushroom Kingdom. While out on a simple walk, Mario stumbles upon a young and frightened dragon called Drekka. When meeting Mario, he tells him who he is and that he is supposed to be the Dragon Lord, but the evil ruler Drakka has used his powers to become immortal, therefore keeping him ruler forever. As he finishes his story, Mario vows to defeat Drakka and restore peace and order to the Dragon Realm. Preparing for his task, accompanied by his brother Luigi and his best friend Yoshi, Mario journeys through the portal to the Dragon Realm to free the inhabitants and defeat the evil ruler Drakka!
