Starshine Legacy

Part 2: Dark Core Rising

Panel 1:

THE JORVIK CORRESPONDENCE

December 14, 1871

Deep sea monster caught just outside Jorvik!

On the 11th of May, a hideous sea creature was caught in a fisherman’s net just outside Jorvik Bay. The creature seemed to be a deep-sea specimen, with many huge eyes and tentacles. Captain Sandy of the fishing boat says that the net was stuck in something close to an area at the ocean edge known as the Kraken Depths. Unfortunately, before any scientist was able to examine the unknown sea creature, the fisherman had dropped it back into the deep seas just outside the harbor. Due to the immense depth outside Jorvik Bay and the ocean currents, the carcass could not be found again when the scientists search boat dragged the coastline.

THE JORVIK CORRESPONDENCE

June 11, 1890

Deep Core drilling company established in Jorvik

Owner and multibillionaire, adventurer, and patron Mr. Owen D. Sands says, “This will change the face of this island forever. We are going to drill to depths unknown to man. It is the start of a glorious age.” The Deep Core Company’s goal is to search for previously unknown metals and ores. The new industry will hopefully employ hundreds of workers and make Jorvik a name in the new global industrial revolution.

Panel 3:

THE JORVIK CORRESPONDENCE

May 8, 1903

Deep mine accident!

90 engineers and workers are presumed to be trapped or dead inside the Deep Core facility. It is the worst disaster in Jorvik history. During the drilling of a new deep mine shaft at the Deep Core 3 mine, a cave-in occurred in the early morning hours on the 7th of May. The cave-in trapped all the night workers who were on their way up at the end of their shift.

Dark Core

In 1890, the Dark Core Drilling Company was established by the multibillionaire Owen D. Sands. Not much is know about this Mr. Sands figure, especially where his riches came from. But the fact is that this was the beginning for the biggest company in Jorvik history. Today, thousands of people work on the Dark Core drilling platforms, in its mines, research facilities, laboratories and factories. The goal of the Dark Core Corporation is unclear. It is a very secretive company, but what is known is that they are drilling in the seas outside Jorvik for rare minerals and metals. It is also know that such minerals have existed all around Jorvik since the time of the big meteor shower. What Dark Core intends to do with their findings is unknown. There are no records of such minerals being sold or used for anything or in any way. Perhaps Dark Core is still researching those uses and findings. Perhaps they, in fact, haven’t been able find anything at all. But if that’s the case, what is the mysterious cargo that all those Dark Core transports are carrying between the platforms and laboratories?

Starshine

Hundreds of years ago a strange light was seen in the sky. The light grew brighter and brighter, until it lit up the entire sky over Jorvik. The people of the small fishing village wondered about the phenomenon. The story of that strange night was passed down from generation to generation as the tale of when God blessed the island of Jorvik. The superstitious said that higher forces had given the island a touch of magic.

Today we know that the phenomenon was, in fact, a meteor shower, crashing down into the ocean just off the island. The waters are deep where a major number of the meteors landed, and the Dark Core Company is drilling today for the minerals that came with them, but some small fragments fell over the island. And some people still say that those stones have magical powers.

Since the day of that meteor shower, however, there has appeared on the island a special breed of horses - the Starbreed. The white horses with bluish manes are proud and wild still.

Lisa’s horse is named after his breed. Starshine was born in the wild, but his herd was attacked by wolves when he was still a young foal. Starshine was chased off into the woods alone. Deserted and alone, he grew up to be a lonely wild horse, before he met a human being, a young man with a small stable at the edge of the town of Jorvik. Even though Starshine was suspicious in the beginning, he soon realized that this man could be trusted. And so it happened that Starshine became friends with Mr. Herman.

Even though Starshine is one of a very special horse breed, his features are just the same as any horse:

The Starbreed

There are many breeds of horses all around the world, but none is as unique as the wild horses of Jorvik. For as long as anyone can remember, the white horses have been living on the island. These proud, almost untameable horses are known for their light blue markings and their bluish manes.

There is a legend in Jorvik that these great horses started to appear after the great meteor showers outside of Jorvik, hundreds of years ago. The legend says that this supernatural phenomenon somehow changed the Jorvik wild horses and infused them with magical abilities.

Anne

Anne has lived in Jorvik all her life. Coming from a rich family, she is a little spoiled and can be ignorant of real life problems at times. But even though Anne feels that she is the Princess of Jorvik, she has a good heart. When the new girl, Lisa, arrives in Jorvik, strange things start to happen, and Anne is drawn right into the middle of them. She now has to realize that she, in some mysterious way, is connected to three girls she wouldn’t normally dream of becoming friends with. She has always felt a strong bond with her horse, Concorde, but the more she gets drawn into the strange events, the more she realizes that this bond might be more important than she expected.

Lisa

In the story of the Starshine Legacy, we meet Lisa just as she is moving from the big city to a small coastal town of Jorvik. Lisa isn’t very happy about moving. She feels a bit lost since her mom passed away, but her father has gotten a job at Dark Core Industries in Jorvik, which for Lisa means that she has to restart her life in a town where she knows no one. She has to start in a new school, and meet new friends. And on top of that, she has only been in Jorvik one day before strange and mysterious things start to happen. When she meets a sickly but beautiful horse Starshine, she realizes that something big is going on... something that puts Lisa in the path of Jorvik’s destiny...
