Prologue
A cloaked figure drifts silently down to the ground from the air, landing softly. It strides toward a river, whispering softly to a bundle of blankets."Sssh...little one, you shall be safe..."It whispered. The creature murmured some strange words, forming like a force field around the blankets, and setting it down the river. "There's the monster! Kill it! We must not be cursed with it's presence! Witchcraft!"A voice snarled like the harsh wind of winter. Several humans carrying torches chanted,"Kill, Kill the monster!" They brought weapons, so many of ancient heritage. The cloaked one drew a dagger and declared,"You may kill my body, but you can never kill thy soul, thy spirit that shall haunt you forever! Thou shall kill me, but God forbid my soul sh'ant go on!" "No! No! The evil being is poisoning us with words! Cover your ears! Kill the monster, Kill, KILL!" The leader cried. The humans rushed forward, spears in hand. But they were not expecting this...

FWAPP!! FWAPP!! FWAPP!

Scythe blades rung through the air, a blur to the human eye. More of the dark, cloaked beings! "ARRGH!" One human didn't have an arm. Then two. Insane! Yelling, screaming...Then... The madness was over. The only remaining human alive was the leader."So."He growled."You were not alone, were you, beast? But I shall get my revenge!" The man shouted something without words, and pointed a finger at the three cloaked ones coming to sheild the first one, appearing to be the leader. They were blasted on impact from a blue streak from the man's outstretched hand."NO!" The first one cried. "NO!" "Now you," The man snarled. "Kanshen!" A green light shot out from the man's index finger... And with a shriek, the figure was on the ground, the hood finally revealing her face. It was quite dinosaur-like, yet no scales, but a smooth surface. The surface was gray, and very shiny like a ball. It was a yoshi. They came long before Mario, and were actually very smart. But they hide their intellect. other than the truiphant laugh of the man, a more softer, mourning sound. It was the sound of whimpering coming from the bundle of blankets..
