Robin came in and sat on a tall, mossy rock and began to spin the tale passed on for centuries.
Gather round me, Young and old, as tales of daring and action are told. Seek answers from the distant past, or come to listen and relax. Now release yourselves and Let's begin, I'll own your minds until the end.

"The Meadow was once a dark place, unlike the lush green field you now see. The very demons that slayed our ancestors stormed it, dug up It's fresh grass and rooted up the swaying trees to make way for horrible devices of torture. There was a war going on between them, the Tauns, and the people of the land. So far, all the villages had been sacked but one, which held the Shards of Power, Peace, and Prosperity.

The Tauns had been led to this site by an evil Vizier named Genna. They knew that in this place of so much magic and energy, the Crystal of Mayhem was being born. All the hate and death in the land, even just little acts of mischeif, flowed to and from this mighty gem, Hardening it, Concentrating themselves by picking up all the energy in the trees and little crystals that were yet to grow. They unearthed this mighty black crystal and tapped it.

The power of a whole, Newly formed Crystal was so much greater than those of the City that they nearly shattered, and could only protect one building. All the people fled to this citadel in fear, and of course, with so many people in one place, Something will go wrong.

"Hey Roxy, Catch!" Nova tossed a small red ball to his playmate.
She ran toward it, then froze and took no notice when it hit her in the head. "Roxy? Are you alri-OOoooohhhhhhh. Emm.... Is he-"
"Dead? I think so." Their king Cyrrus lay before them, motionless. In his hand was a small pendant and cruelly pinned to his bare eye was a note reading, "We Will Triumph." signed Genna in red ink.

The two young Talaye saw a trickle of blood running from his forehead and a burn in the shape of a Triliac. He had died defending something, and the door to the Crystal Safe was wide open. Shuddering, Nova picked up the pendant and put it around his neck, creeping into the chamber.
"WHAT are you DOING?"
"We have to show this to the queen, and the attacker may be in here."
Roxy shrugged. When Nova had his mind set, there was no stopping him. They didn't notice the ball. It rolled in front of Nova and he kicked it while easing towards the stand on which the Crystals were held.

A crash sounded in the hallway and the maids groaned, having just finished sweeping up the last dish after some idiot said Opah.
Roxy heard the scream and ran to look. The maids were all standing and pointing at the dead king. She unfortunately stepped in a puddle of blood and her red feet stood out brilliantly against her albino body.
"Nova. Get. out. of. there. and. explain .to .these .ladies .that-"
"Explain what?" He popped in the door with bloody feet also and the King's pendant around his neck. The shattered crystals were now in full view as well.
"WHERE DID YOU GET THAT, YOU DIRTY ************* MUTT? WHAT HAPPENED IN HERE?"

The cries rang for what seemed like an hour as the population gathered to see the ghastly scene. Nobody believed them, and the pups stood and watched in horror as all their belongings were burned and their own parents sat at the sharpening stone, sanding their children's guilliotene without wincing. Everyone thought they had commited all of the deadliest sins the land knew of, Double crossed their nation, Murdered their king, stole his treasure, and lastly, crushed the last protections of mankind. Weeping in tears, Roxy fled to her father and tried to bury her face in his fuzzy mane as she did when she was a pup and was pushed away. "Don't come near me, red-eyes."

Their execution was to be in six hours. The two stood helplessly, chained to the wall, as all the people in the castle struck them and lashed at them with razor-tipped whips. At midnight, a guard pushed through the crowd sending the Curfew signal. As Nova licked his wounds and wept, through bleary eyes he saw Roxy smile.
"How can you be happy at a time like this Are you really THAT stupid, or just severely masochistic?"
"I dow subthig you dobt do." She spat out a lead key at his feet and winked.

Seconds later, they were shoving through the bars and collapsing onto the dirt. Just mustering the energy to crawl into the bushes, they slept for the first time in two days. When they woke up, they weren't certain they had. Everything was pitch black and red thunder streaked through the skies. A charred skeleton smoldered nearby and dark forms loomed in the distance.

"Well, We're waist deep in ++++ now, Eh Roxy?" The scabbed Nova pulled out a 'borrowed' pack of food and passed her a sandwich. "It's not like they'll be needing it, anyway." He said, nodding at the blackened corpse nearby. He had always had a sick mind, but was always able to bring humor to an Unlight to Very dark situation. When it was happy he had nothing to say and when it was really depressing he was to scared to say it.

He flashed another glance at Roxy, who hadn't spoken in twenty minutes and just sat, gazing misty-eyed into the distance. "They haven't got you to, have they?" He prodded her with a look of mock concern on his face. She returned it. "Yep. I think I'm dead about now." "You're still talking." "Brains. Ooogh. Blagh." They doubled over laughing until the hand crumbled onto his belly, making him scream.

"You know hat we've got to do, Nova."
"Call Ghostbusters?"
"Be serious for once in your life. We've got to fix this."
"I'll just call the damn handyman, then?" He snapped.
She glared at him. " The shards had to have come from Crystals, Supah."
Supah was a nickname she teased him with when he was being a smartass. When he was pup, he ran around calling himself SupahNobbah. She sighed, remembering the fun they had then, before this mess with the Taun came to their home. "Aaaaand?" He poked her to get along with the story. "And the Crystals never die. We have to get the Crystals of the Shards we broke."
They ran inside, now enough adjusted to gore that they could make it to the Shard's resting place. The pieces still glowed and they collected them into a sack, flinging away the glittery mist that followed them. "

"Hours later, the two still followed the slight pull of the shards, weary and disheartened. A sillhouette they took for a tree seemed to twitch, but they dismissed this as a trick of the light.
"What was that?"
"Quit it, Nova. This is scary enough as it is."
"I'm serious, Listen."
Something behind them snapped and tiny droplets of spittle flecked their tails as a clammy breath surrounded them. It sprang, missing the two by tenths of a millimeter and scratching Roxys' nose with it's hind feet. They screamed and ran the opposite direction but were stopped short when a burst of flame sprang up in their path. The beast they had first encountered had hold of Nova by his tail and a black boar snatched at the pouch, spilling the shards everywhere. Suddenly they sparked and crackled, illuminating the darkened scene. The shadowy figures hissed and receded.
Roxy nudged closer to Nova and whimpered, "What were those things?" "Roxy, If I knew, I'd tell you. Just remind me to keep those crystals-HEY!" The pieces that had spilled and fought the spectres were now dark and clear, no longer their normal luminous golden and violet hues. Staring out from the center of each were the two scarlet eyes of the Beasts. ------------------------------------------
