Prologue
The Birth of Jester
----------------------------------------
A cracked porcelain mask lays within a dimly lit cavern, small beams of light passing through small cracks in the cavern entrance. These insignificant beams of light lit a mural depicting a strange race interacting with various deities. Inky black shadows begin to fall from below the beams of light, as wisps of bright light fly outward into the world. The shadows confirm upon the mask like vultures waiting for a meal to present itself. Slowly the mural begins to glow a slight purple tinge. This purple aura condenses itself into a small ball of energy constantly moving and shifting. The small wisp of purple energy moves around the small confined space, wherever it moves the shadows scatter and flee. After hours of quick movements, the ball of energy comes into contact with the mask.

Slowly the cracked mask begins to hover over the cavern floor the glow of energy fusing the mask into a full coherent piece of art. Steadily, purple threads and shadowy energy begin to sprout from the back of the mask, cascading downwards the purple threads form into a long coat of complex patterns. Underneath this coat lies a body made of stars and galaxies that slowly climb upwards towards the mask.
The figure slowly slumped over towards the ground examining it's newly made form, raising his long fingers towards the cracks in the stone entrance before it simply disappeared washing the small room with a blinding light.
As the form stood on the precipice of which it was born its voice rang out down towards all creatures found on the planet below.
