Lycanthrope II: Insurgere Imperium
By Hailey T. (Aggiepuff)
Prologue: Recrudescence
Darkness overtook the steamy jungle as the hot orange sun set on the horizon. Two teenage boys hack through the leafy foliage with their machetes, exploring the uncharted territory of the African Congo.
A green snake's belly glides silently along the tree branch, poisonous frogs war-painted brightly like skeletons sit perched upon wet rocks among the green plants that blanket the ground. Black ants march in line carrying food twice their size to their ravenous queen.
The curious boys hack their way further into the wilderness, their destination unknown, but their eyes wide with wonder.
They come upon a large wall of hanging vines and leafy plants. The first boy slams his machete into the blockage, only to be shaken back when his sword reverberates with a metallic clang. He shouts something over to his friend, who comes running, eyes wide as they clear away the plants while conversing excitedly in their own native language.
They each fall silent however when they discover the hidden mystery to be a door made of solid stone, sealed tightly and engraved with mysterious cryptic symbols. They stand in silence for a moment, before running back towards their village to share their discovery with the world.
Four quiet shadows move quickly and silently through a darkened room. Working ceaselessly on some unknown devices deep into the night. Forced to work under an iron fist, they have no time for rest. Only with their undiscovered genius can these mysterious creations become reality, and that their plans can finally go underway. Undiscovered, that is, until now.
Their worn hands continue working obliviously in complete silence while their master plans and prepares, anticipating the single greatest evil scheme to befall the earth.
Working all together they will pose the greatest threat to the earth, greater than any conquering force before it had ever even dreamed of.
Deep in the sewers beneath the deserted wet streets of Townsville, dirty water leftover from the ferocious downpour the evening before drips steadily through the storm drains. The air is damp and thick, and the smell of polluted water hangs heavily in the large empty pipelines. Darkness blankets these lonely, lifeless sewers. An obscure darkness that almost creates an odd sort of life, born from the very shadows itself.
A large black and white puddle floats lazily on top of the sewer water. In its cold and lifeless state it is impossible to believe this was once the greatest threat to our world. Now it lies as nothing more but a helpless mass of chemicals, dead and useless.
The darkness of the empty sewers is broken, however, when a small shadowy figure removes the lid to the manhole, allowing small rays of moonlight escape inside. The small figure hops nimbly inside the sewer, and after a quick search discovers the white and black chemicals floating lifelessly amongst the dark water.
The figure silently scoops the solutions up, and then scurries up out onto the street again, closing the manhole and returning the silent pipes back to their eerie darkness.
The purple blue colors of approaching dawn illuminate the skyline of the city of Townsville at this same moment in time. The citizens of Townsville sleep peacefully, dreaming their impossible dreams, blissfully unaware of what is about to be born around them.
One sinister plot has been stopped at the hands of brave heros, hand in hand together they have beaten the unbeatable. But the true test of their faith and the bonds that link them together is still just beginning.
A new evil to stop, new bonds to forge, new powers to discover, a new mystery to unlock. A new mission, and a new adventure.
More soon hopefully! Thanks for readin'
