Decade

PROLOGUE

Welcome.

Constellations are not born from stars. But when lines connect them together. Likewise , a legend is not born from a story of any being, be it animal or human. But when lines connect the stories together. This is the legend of lines connecting all the stories... until it is too late for any hero to rescue it.

DECADE

The stars I look up to, there is shining every history Like a constellation, it's a legend that begins the instant the lines connect Passing through the time where the Aurora flickers The straying Parallel world I dive into

On the road, everyone is on a journey in order to meet their real selves Still walking even now, we are all travelers Stretching out in front of my eyes, the ten roads will someday overlap I will be changed on the road that heads on to a new dawn Witness the Journey through the decade

Even if you look at the scenery cut off beyond the lens Truth is what is reflected in your hearts vision Somewhere, raising the curtain on the fight is the hallucination of "me" that sweeps away reality

On the road, the reason for going on the journey is to change the future in which the world is ruined Embracing our dreams even tighter, we are all dreamers My fate is undoubtedly to stand up for the tenth time, then Roads will open, cutting through the new wind Witness the Journey through the decade

I'll decide at every instant, with your everything The future is changing even ideals and despair So I'll surely run the roads I believed in

On the road, everyone is on a journey in order to meet their real selves Still walking even now, we are all travellers Stretching out in front of my eyes, the ten roads will someday overlap I will be changed on the road that heads on to a new dawn Witness the Journey through the decade

Our story begins in a small town in an undefined city, in a universe not our own.

A wolf wanders through the streets, looking for a meal. He looks into a house, seeing humans eating, envious.

DOG CATCHER: Hey! Another dog, no doubt!

The wolf swiftly ran away from the town and to the nearby lake.

The wolf sighed.

WOLF: What can I do? How can I get something to eat? There's nothing left to hunt...

MAN'S VOICE: Maybe there is something I can do.

WOLF: What?

MAN'S VOICE: Look down again...

The wolf saw a man in a trench coat in the pool.

WOLF: Who are you?

MAN: I am just a prophet. But who I am doesn't matter. I can help you with your problem.

Then, the wolf felt himself unable to support himself on four legs any more, and was able to stand up on two. He felt his paws becoming hands as he did so.

WOLF: What's going on?

He saw the man standing on the other side of the lake. He had his back turned and began to walk away.

MAN: Damn you, Decade!

The man walked away and seemingly vanished.

The wolf looked back at the city, which now seemed brighter than ever. He tried to walk back on all fours, but found he wasn't strong enough, which was surprising considering he could now walk bipedally as well as humans could.

Upon entering the city, he was surprised that no-one was shocked by his new form. Even more surprising was that he wasn't alone.

There were other anthro wolves all around the city. And anthro dogs. There was just about every animal in the city.
