Saga of Shadows

Prologue
A tall Makuta, with a mutated red claw, leered down at the subject, observing him. The subject looked at the neglected room they inhabited. Vines covered the cracked metal walls. It was a small room, with no other features but a door.

Another, smaller being observed the subject more carefully. Then, he spoke.

"As you can see, master," said the being in a somewhat high-pitched and arrogant voice, "The subject will be our greatest invention yet. The ultimate servant!"

The Makuta replied. "The greatest invention yet? That is what you said about the...other "greatest invention". This had better be a success, or you will find that this failure will be a bit more...painful."

The subject saw the smaller being reach into a bag. He pulled out a silver mask. _____________________________________________________________________

The being awoke with a start. He saw an imprint in the sand where his body was.

A...desert? he thought. ''What was that dream about? And a better question...where am I?''. All he could remember was his name: Razek.

He looked around. There were 3 dead warriors. All looked identical, with 2 sets of wings. A sword was impaled in the back of one. He pulled the blade out of the warrior's corpse, and observed it.

It was covered in a black substance. Blood? he wondered. He saw another piece of equipment, possibly a launcher. As he moved to pick it up, he heard something. He turned around.

What he saw was three hideous beings with glowing crimson eyes. Their faces wore equally repulsive grins.

The tallest one pointed his blade at Razek's neck.
