Prologue
A fox rode his hoverboard through the forest scanning for any signs of life. unfortunately, this was a dead forest, ravaged from years of abuse. It was nothing but a charred husk of what it once was. Bird calls were gone, replaced by the deathly silence in the air. The orange fox wasn't just admiring the destruction though. He was looking for something.
His green eyes glinting in the cloudy light, he put his hoodie up. He felt like he was being watched.
The cavern entrance was roughly the size of a car, but that's not what the fox was looking at. He was looking at the growth of plants growing out of the entrance.
He entered without hesitation. Looking around he saw a few torches lit at a doorway. As soon as he entered the door, he knew he stumbled onto what he was looking for.
"Took you long enough Alex!" a voice said behind him. Instinctively he swung around, his switchblade in hand.
He saw a yellow cat, that looked about 21, his age. "Sally, how long have you been hiding there?" Alex said. His childhood friend had decided to dress in ankle nlow jeans and a t-shirt today. Walking over to him her tail swished back and forth. She was excited.
"Can you feel the energy Alex? I think he's here." She said with excitement. " That's what you've said for the last four locations. Angel island, downunda, even station square! I think he's not real."
Figure appeared in the room. He was a gray wizened old hedgehog, but his eyes burned with power. " Who doesn't exist? Because I the Outsider exists."
He turned and looked at Alex. "And I see you have my mark. Don't use it without reason Alexander Crumley."
Sally then stepped forward. "We request to hear of the heroes of old Outsider." He then looked at her and smiled. "I will tell you of heroes. Of the brimstone society that hunt the dark, and the crew of the Destiny and their fate."
