Okay enough chit-chat, onto the prologue.

Ash Valley, an isolated area concealed with the rocks, and dead plant life. A dry, rotten and supposedly forgotten place. But on this particular night, a certain event was occurring. Something so exclusive, it was for members only.

A group of shrews, raccoons and many other small animals squeezed through the poorly barricaded entrance, while bears, the biggest animals of the group conveniently lifted the rocks sealing the other entrance.

The inside of the cave was surprisingly much bigger than one expected. It was about the size of an entire cornfield. There were giant stones scattered around that were used as tables by the occupants. Raw meat and bones flew around the place and splattered the tables and floor as the fellow carnivores viciously dug into their meals and ate it viciously with no sense of manners whatsoever.

"I still dunno what the big deal is." a shrew with matted fur and red eyes commented while sucking a snail out of it's shell. As punishment for such a stupid remark, a raccoon bonked him in the head as hard as he could with his fist.

"You idiot!" the raccoon hissed. "You should know this! Our group has been taught this since our origin. It's basic child's training."

"I knew that!" the shrew spat at the raccoon. "I'm just saying I don't see no point in having this meeting when we can just attack right away!"

"Have you been taught nothing in your schooling? Did your attention span get so affected by all these raw snails you've been eating? Or did your careless mother just drop you on your head as a baby?"

"No one says an ugly thing 'bout mah ma!" the badly tempered shrew launched at his table mate and kicked, punched and bit him with all his might. Small as he may be, it did not stop him from making this fight as humiliating and shameful for this despicable creature as possible.

As the rest of the crowd whooped and laughed as the two animals beat the living day lights out of each other, one member had enough.

"WILL YOU TWO JUST SHUT UP AND STAY PUT FOR TWO MINUTES?!" a female shrieked at the shrew and raccoon. Her amber eyes glowed in a menacing way that made the two creatures immediately cease their feud and stay still without question. There was no way they would dare defy her. She had too much authority to be spoken back to.

"Now be quiet." the female continued. "The Master is coming."

As if on cue, a tall figure walked up on stage. It was always hard for all the minions to tell what species he was. He would never directly give them orders, just have one of his henchmen do it. When the Master did speak publicly, he made himself barely seen by his followers. His fur color was all black and his face was covered. There was no source of light on the stage or in front of it either. It was crucial for the Master to remain covered. He believed if he would look more intimidating to his followers, they were more likely to do his bidding as their fear was the source of their obedience. Also, he had a deep, dark secret that only his most trusted henchmen knew about, and those who would reveal it would be punished severely.

"Children of the Dark Allegiance!" the Master began in his raspy yet booming voice. "One million years prior to our existence, out ancestors foretold an event that would take place. The stars will fall from the skies, the sun will lose it's power and life as we know it will change forever. Darkness will eternally reign and whose time will it be to rise out of our banishment by society?!"

"OURS!" the minions chanted, awaiting this day as much as the Master has been.

"CORRECT!" one month from now, Doomsday will come. Although that seems like another million year, this does not mean that we can, prepare, for this special occasion. The Master then pulled out a turtle shell and stuck a twig that was lit on fire. Obviously the fire did go out, but it had an intriguing effect. The smoke began to swirl and molded itself into various shapes and figures.

"Now, children of the Dark Allegiance, we shall start with them." the Master pointed to the group that the smoke formed. It consisted three mammoths, two sloths, two opossums, a molehog and the most unusual thing, more sabers than anyone in this cave could count.

"Do not fail me." the Master hissed through gritted teeth.

Don't worry everybody, the Master's name should be revealed in about the seventh to ninth chapter. But I'll give you guys two hints. He is in my voice cast and his voice actor is great at playing villains. Thanksgiving goodies to whoever guesses! :D I don't know whether I will update tomorrow or Sunday, it will all depend on how the rest of my break goes. In the meantime, please review any questions, comments, concerns, critiques or likes and dislikes. Ciao!
