The Beginning

Everyone remembers the name. Shadows Hollow or as most call it now the
forgotten city. The large city is surrounded by walls but still active in the world around it. It held one of the most advanced labs and an archive that held information unlike the world had ever seen, and strange enough a very large prison.. The perfect place to live, or so they thought. Things began to happen around the city. People were attacked ,went missing, and even some were found in the street hideously massacred beyond recognition. Months later all trade ceased to the city as it closed its gates to anyone. Messages were sent by desperate people within the city pleading for help from the creatures that had escaped and now ran amok inside their city. Each referred to a gate of some sort, a gate they say led to utter darkness and chaos. As officials were sent in to suppress the creatures the people were of the city were all evacuated and accounted for except for a large numbers of prisoners and one lone boy. As the officials left the city the locked up the only gate in or out and gave the key to the mayor. With this they thought it was over but they were wrong. This is the story everyone knows however that doesn't make it the whole truth.

Behind the Scenes

The city of Shadows Hollow was a perfect peaceful place on the surface but below things happened that would change it forever. Unknown to the mayor scientist inside the lab began to counter the creatures that flowed form the gates. They used prisoners from the local prison for their twisted experiments as they saw them as exspendable. However, due to the instability of their minds most were driven insane and were deemed failures. This was not the case for all of the experiments though. One experiment succeeded to their greatest dreams, and their worst nightmares. It was called Project Pandora. Its main purpose was to bring out the physic ability inside a person by introducing extreme trauma or stress. It was a success and tore a young boys life apart. They furthered the experiment by injecting parts of the creatures DNA into the boy. Soon after the boy escaped and the project was forgotten.

The Present

The city of Shadows Hollow and what happened their have all but been forgotten. The actual story turned to legend but now their seems to be a new part to the story. Rumor has it that their is someone still inside the city that rules it and everything inside. No one has had anything to do with the city as the towns around it had all moved and started anew away form the city. Now Six kids stand at the gate each seeking permission to enter their city. One wanting the truth, one wanting revenge, one seeking knowledge, one seeking to recapture the secrets of the towns deranged scientist, two simply wishing to finish what generation upon generation of their family could not. Will they find what they seek? Will they encounter the master of the city, and is Project Pandora really alive?
