Prologue Part Three - The First Golden     Once everyone was settled in, the pups became restless, and they wanted to hear Cody tell them another story. They were clamoring to hear how the first Golden Retriever was made. Cody smiled and told them all to come closer and he would tell them.     “All of the first dogs start and end the same way, they are made of clay and at first are pure white, their eyes are precious gems from the mountains and they always have a heart of gold, as does every dog who makes it to the door of the Oak.” Cody smiled and chose his words carefully so the dogs here would know he spoke of them too. “The first golden was the same. He loved to run and fetch things for the Great Trees. Whether it was sticks, or balls, or nuts, he enjoyed running through the forest to grab whatever he was sent to get and return it to the Great Trees. They heaped such praise upon him too!

Once Cody had gone back into the Oak, he was greeted with many ecstatic dogs. They were very excited because not only had Cody gone to tell these stories to the other dogs and little pups but also he was able to tell these stories with such skill. Captivating even the youngest pup for the entire duration of the story was a skill every dog could envy.  Cody invited the dogs to come with him next time, to sit with them and get to know them. “We’re all here now; we might as well get to know one another. Don’t you think?” Cody said. Though some dogs were swayed to his side, many were fearful to go out.

It was bad enough Storm had forsaken them to go off on an adventure looking for Hojan. Now, she had to deal with Cody entertaining these dogs in their very front yards.

Part One In the days after the Fall of Sanctuary and the defeat of the Dark Sentinel, the forest returned to its former state. The trees were lively again as leaves returned to their once withering branches. A dead forest was now green and full of life and sound. During the Dark Sentinel’s rampage across the worlds many dogs were brought to the land of the Oak. From the oldest to the youngest of pups, they were brought here confused and lost. None of these dogs were allowed to enter the Oak for they were corrupted by the Sentinel when he sent them away. They were allowed to live around the Oak. The entire land was there for them to use, though dangers lurked around every corner. Cats still roamed the forest preying on weak dogs. Boars and bears would rampage and decimate villages one at a time. Reports of elephants running about were rampant in the days before the truce and then there were those birds! They were constantly harassing any animal who got close to the Plains of Rot, a...
