#1 of Rise of Evil
Prologue to Rise of Evil. The Story of Shadow Nightstar, a young pup who must grow to avenge his parents.
"The sun, it's warm, and keeps you from freezing. It is your best friend. If ever evil comes into the world, use the sun my child." ~ Elizabeth Nightstar
With a sudden jolting wake a small child looks around, his fur smooth and slick with sweat. The surroundings looking completely obliterated and ripped apart, but he knew it had been this way for a few hours. The coming of an evil tide struck down the walls and roof of his home. His parents gone now. They were there when the damage to his home happened, but when he awoke, there was simply a bed with him staring at something shaded in the night looming above him.
The figure reached a hand out to grab him, but he quickly scrambled backwards. The bed protected by a safe ward that blew the thing backwards as it reached the edge of the ward. Hissing the dark mass murmurs just loud enough to hear. "You'll be ours one day Shadow, one day you'll be ours, ohhh yesss." Shadow, the young pup, whimpers as the figure pulls back its hood, showing a charred face with sharp jagged teeth, and lizard like eyes.
Shadow slowly closes his eyes, and curls up afraid. Suddenly a slicing noise is heard along with a screech and footsteps running away. "Are you ok?" Shadow hears from a relatively deep voice. Looking upon the new voiced male, he can see that it is a fennec fox male. The fox holding a silver sword that glows with a shadowy esence. "You aren't hurt are you Shads?" Asks the fox again, but with the name Shads at the end it threw him for a loop. Shadow was not used to hearing that name, only his uncle Maxius used it.
"U-Uncle Maxius? I-Is that you?" Shadow asks with a stutter, still staggered from before. His Uncle nods and reaches a hand out, the barrier not having an effect on him because he means no harm. Shadow leaps up into his arms and wraps his own arms around his uncles neck tightly. Smiling just a little his Uncle hugs him back and pats his back. "E-Everyone is gone..." Shadow whispers shakely.
