History
The Phoenix Gate
The multi-millionaire industrialist David Xanatos engineered an elaborate, multi-layered scheme to manipulate the space-time continuum by orchestrating his own formal wedding to Fox, specifically selecting the ancient Gargoyle Demona to serve as his primary witness. During the gathering, Demona presented David Xanatos with a unique, deeply personal wedding gift consisting of one-half of a highly ancient, mystical golden talisman known as the Phoenix Gate, a legendary relic originally split into two separate fragments back in the year 994 to prevent its immense reality-altering capabilities from falling into the wrong hands. By combining her half with the matching piece that Xanatos had previously tracked down and purchased at an international auction, the two halves perfectly fused back into a singular, fully functional circular artifact. Goliath proactively intervened in the meeting to stop the alliance, but Demona instantly triggered the reunited artifact's internal magical mechanisms by firmly grasping the device and loudly reciting a specific, rhythmic Latin incantation. This activation generated a highly localized, violent vortex of pure, roaring phoenix fire that completely enveloped Demona, Goliath, David Xanatos, Fox, and Xanatos's elderly father, instantly shifting their entire physical bodies across the space-time barrier and transporting them backward through time to a remote medieval era.

Demona infiltrated the high-security subterranean vault within the Eyrie Building alongside Macbeth to execute a coordinated heist aimed at securing a specific collection of high-value magical items. By bypassing David Xanatos's active automated defense networks, Demona successfully retrieved the modern fused version of the Phoenix Gate from its containment unit alongside the ancient spell book known as the Grimorum Arcanorum, the Eye of Odin, and the inactive mechanical body of the gargoyle Coldstone. Upon successfully claiming the legendary golden talisman, she instantly utilized its time-travel capabilities to transport herself and Macbeth out of the fortress to a remote coastal cliffside off the shores of Avalon. At this location, the ancient Weird Sisters materialized to intercept the duo and formally accepted the entire cache of stolen mystical relics as a direct offering, transferring ownership of the active Phoenix Gate to the present-day incarnation of the Archmage to fuel his overarching quest for absolute cosmic dominance.
