Prologue

"You are ready..."

In a dark quiet room, a Lion man talked to no one. Soon this place would be full thou. Soon this performance would begin. He has spent years working on this one purpose, this one event. And now, as he stared at himself in the mirror, he allowed his face to show how he truly felt. Frustrated, angry, sad, and corrupted to the bone. He would orchestrate a performance that would be a turning point to everything.

He stared intently now, studying the face that he had received after this long journey. He was still young, only 32, but the grey hairs had taken over. His mane was full of whites, blending in with the gold. In the right light it would look beautiful. In the moonlight it would probably win him any girl or guy he wanted. In the dark it only made him look older then he was. Long bangs hid his eyes, which he wished to see. So with a brush, he cleared his vision, and set his hair into place, setting it into the position he needed it to stay in, setting his look, and starting the placement of his mask.

He stared into his own eyes, staring into the golden orbs. He wanted too see his own soul. After staring for a long time, he gave up on this, and instead focused on setting his eyes into the look he wanted them to have. A jolly stare full of self-confidence, and power. His lips followed, curling along his muzzle and allowing two sharpened teeth to escape from them, and extend over his bottom lip. It was a popular thing to do among predator types, to remind others they had the teeth that were designed for eating meat. It took practice to accomplish for some, especially for Viktor.

He stared at this face for a long time. An hour passed, as he stared intently, each minute passing by slowly, as he stared, and thought. He stared and rethought every thing. It was too late too go back. But maybe someone could stop him. Not Wally, for he would do anything to protect Viktor. Maybe someone could. In a few months, most everyone in this place would be able too level buildings, or destroy armies...but could anyone stop him....

"I am Viktor Cecil. Welcome to Ferocity.... yes...very good Viktor. Now say it again...but this time without crying. The time for crying is over."
