The Last Hurrah

Prologue:

“Excellent, my young ones.” The phantom queen said, in a gravely tone. She walked over to the wanted posters, which had remained untouched for quite some time.

She crossed the alphas off one by one, her face quite pleased.

Stopping abruptly, she scanned the room.

“Where’s the monkey?”

The phantoms beneath her exchanged glances. “We gathered all the alphas, your highness. Why would we need a monkey?”

The queen narrowed her eye. “The Monkey alpha, you fools. Gram or... whatever.”

No response came, implying they were rather clueless.

The queen only growled. “Do not stop until you find that monkey. We need all six of the core species for our plan to work.”

“Yes, your majesty.” The phantoms repeated to each other, instantly flying off to fulfill her orders. They knew not to even hesitate for a moment; the queen ws quite tyranical and would give a number of punishments if even one hair was out of place.

Chapter one:

Graham had narrowly escaped with his life when the phantoms came into the meeting room. “I knew it was foolish to meet up.” He muttered.

The other alphas had attempted to fight back, only thinking they’d give up after a few swarms. By the time they were thinking of evacuating, it was too late-

But Graham had other business to attend to. He didn’t need to cling to the past at the moment. Although it was true, he didn’t have a lot, he had a plan, at least. He continued to walk.

“Royal ridge residency, Coral Canyons.” He noted. “This should be the place.”

Coming to the pleasant little cottage, he knocked on the door. “Avalon, pal- Are you alright?”

A small, light red owl opened the door and appeared quite happy to see him. “Graham! What a pleasant surprise!” He chattered brightly. “Do come in.”

Moments later, the two were talking quietly, nestling in the warm and inviting cottage.

“Avalon, you are one of the wisest I know. I need your help to bring the other alphas together.”

Avalon looked up in confusion. “Pardon?”

“I need your help bringing the minor alphas together.”

After a small amount of concideration, Avalon shook his head. “I’m afraid I cannot do that. The last time we met up- Let us just say we had a few… complications.”

“Yes, I understand, but you must get past that.” Graham said. “This is serious business.”

Avalon sighed. “If it is for Jamaa. Just brace yourself..."

Graham knew he had a lot of work ahead of him.
