Living Gold was the source of blessings and events leading to the lives on earth, And the destruction of earth, which lead to a deadly curse that caused madness, killing and nearly wiping the human race to extinction. From the beginning, the Living Gold that the gods wore and ate with used to control peace on earth. Until the fate of a tragic effect.

Angered with the gods as to be the only angel to leave paradise to seek humans, the angel decided to steal the Living Gold and give it to the human as payback, for the angel thought it will surely spell they're doom. So as he touches the gold plotting their demise, He prophesized that the Living Gold will spread all sins of human to madness, causing human to tear themselves apart with endless hunger of others sins, spreading the madness though contact.

The gods now realizing a curse was being fulfilled, through the angel into the deepest pit on earth and buried the Living Gold nugget in the stream of everlasting life, the one place on earth a human can never reach, Since now it was bonded to earth and the angel. Knowing that such power will never benefit humans, they waited to send word to humans acknowledging such gold until it's ever revealed, to stop such a prophecy.

As time passed the angel, at the deepest pit, had visions of human evolution and advances that caused him to see accomplishments of humans deeds and growth. The angel became more in raged that he tore the ground above him and drained the stream of everlasting life that hidden the Living Gold. With the crack now above him, he sent whispers of lies about the gold in the air like a cold wind, moving across the globe to the curiosity of human ears. From the crack below, the Living Gold dropped Into the pit and the angel touched Gods Gold once more, making the madness and chaos from the gold prophesized to only activate whenever the gold was melted and made into jewelry, to trick the humans warned by the angels, that the gods would send if ever found.

Now that the stream of everlasting life was drained and humans on the search for such gold, the angel threw the nugget to the surface and sealed the crack, patiently waiting and watching Humans search for such treasure.

The humans searched for such treasure for years, writing tales, writing warning from angels, about the curse and power the Living Gold holds, until one day a couple of geologists found the exact location of such gold and the scientists went out to retrieve it.

Upon arrival, they spent months digging and analyzing the site until they came upon a shiny glowing nugget, as soon as one of the scientists touch the nugget the gods (tired from trying to stop the prophecy) sent one last warning in the form of a thunderstorm. "So This is the Living Gold, that bring storms from gods!" One scientist said. "Funny, the storm been following us for miles., have you just now notice?" Another scientists said. As they talked amongst each other, they've decided to take the Living Gold back to the facility and proceeded to leave, until they were ambushed by a group of Rebels who tailed them to the location to take Gods Gold for themselves.

Killing the scientists, the rebels took the Gods Gold towards the city where their leader lived to present it as a gift. The Leader, amazed by the glowing Gold that was said to give it bearer immortality, wanted it for his daughter who was on bed rest from a sickness, so he melted the gold while following the tale of lies spreads by the angel thrown from paradise that the gold can only be touched by the soul who seeks immortality. So he fashioned it into a Heart-Shaped locket, with two silver clips weld to the ends, lifting it with a metal rod and wrapping it into a present. Happy that the next day, he will give it to his daughter so that she may live forever. He orders a celebration for the day she opens it.

The next day, the rebels' leader, visited his daughter to present the gift. Surprised by her father's gift, and guess anxious to see the legendary Living Gold, she doesn't hesitate to open it to find a beautiful golden Heart-Shaped locket, she was so excited wanting her father to quickly put on the lock, her father careful used the silver clips, locking locket made from the Living Gold around here neck, as soon as the locket rested on her skin, she went into shock and suddenly the Heart-Shaped locket melted into her skin causing burns and agony, it spread thought-out her body with endless mass covering her, forming gold blisters and spores of gold dust.

Her father horrified reaches in to comfort her, rubbing her skin which is now nothing but the glowing Gold color of the locket, to see if he can remove his mistake. With no success, he put his hands on her head, petting the now golden wool of plaits. Waiting on the medic who rushed in to neutralize her symptoms, until she suddenly stopped, eye glowing yellow, she opens her mouth and lunge at her father's neck biting and piercing his skin to see nothing but ripped exposure and gold glowing saliva.

Afraid, the crowd quickly panic as his daughter proceeds to bite one of the medics, until they tackled her to the ground, while she screams with rage and madness. Her father, suddenly not feeling well, turns to look at his daughter, and became distracted as one of the medics pointed to his neck. "It's spreading!" The medic said as the father begin to also have the gold surround his body.
