The Story of Hope

Once upon a time, Prometheus, a powerful Titan, created the first woman: Pandora. Pandora was beautiful and pure, much like you and I. However, one day, Prometheus stole fire from Zeus and the other Gods of Olympus and gave it to man...

Even though Zeus punished Prometheus, the Gods decided to take out their anger on mankind. They each offered Pandora a gift. Zeus gave Pandora a special, sacred Jar, telling her that she was to not look inside.

It was a trap for her curiosity.

Inside the jar were vile, disgusting things: Pain, torment, evil creatures.... even death. Pandora could not resist the magical Jar, as it followed her everywhere. One day she couldn't take it; she opened the jar.

Death and destruction leaped out to reek havoc upon mankind and the earth.


Pandora reached to shut the jar up forever....but it was too late. Mankind lost control of chaos and death.

Pandora was so distraught she cried a pool of acid...
However, there was one thing left inside the jar after the lid was closed:


HOPE.


Mankind had kept the gift of hope. If hope was to be released, man would truly lose. So the Jar was hidden. Locked away forever.


Those who journeyed after hope lost their way, never came back, or just disappeared. But those who found it realized that hope was preserved, and they brought news back to the world.

"Hope is alive" they said. "And it will last forever.
