The sky was dark, as was the river below. The rushing current was hidden beneath the fog that now shrouded the land... that now engulfed the land. But it was a forest, home to more wolves-- rouges and loners-- than practically any other region of the mountains. Let's call this London, shall we? London, yes... London. But along the river were shadows of moving wolves-- two moving wolves. One, young and strong... and the other limping behind at a staggering pace. The limping one had nearly drowned and died, if not for the younger wolf having rescued him... And together they headed into the heart of this mostly peaceful wolf terra, the waterway gurgling at their side. (Cue ANTHONY!  ) |

(Anthony is the young wolf, he's just saved Todd from drowning a few days ago, and he's leading him to a safer territory of "friendly" wolves... Todd used to live here a while back, and Anthony led him here  SING DARN YOU!! XDXD jk, LOL) |

(KK XD)
A light golden brown wolf led the shaggy wolf. He began to--erm sing.
"I have sailed the world, beheld its wonders
From the Dardanelles
To the mountains of Peru,
But there’s no place like London—!"

(LOL, that's right... SING! XDXD)
"--No there's no place like London..."
The black wolf, a white streak across his right ear, interrupted hoarsely. His eyes stared foward, empty and almost... lifeless.

"Mr. Todd…?" he said in his young voice. His fur was untidy and blew in the wind.

Todd continued to stare past Anthony.
"You are young...
Life has been kind to you...
You will learn."
He padded forward, advancing past Anthony and muttering darkly under his breath.
"There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
and the vermin of the world inhabit it
and its morals aren't worth what a pig could spit
and it goes by the name of London...
At the top of the hole sit the privileged few
making mock of the vermin in the lonely zoo
turning beauty to filth and greed..."
Raising his voice, he sang:
"I too have sailed the world and seen its wonders,
for the cruelty of men is as wondrous as Peru...
But there's no-place-like-London!"

"Is everything alright, Mr. Todd?" he asked in his light voice. His fur blowing untidily in the wind.

"I beg your indulgence... my mind is far from easy," he whispered. "For in the once familiar streets I feel shadows. Everywhere." Sweeney paused, breeze ruffling his sleek black fur. "There was a barber and his wife and she was beautiful... A foolish barber and his wife. She was his reason for his life... and she was beautiful, and she was virtuous. And he was naive. There was another man who saw that she was beautiful... A biased vulture of the law who, with a gesture of his claw removed the barber from his plate! And there was nothing but to wait! And she would fall! So soft! So young! So lost and oh so beautiful!" (just replace the words "barber" and "man" with wolf  ) |

"And the lady, sir, did she succumb?" he asked. He cocked his head at the wolf.

Numbing sorrow flooded his face.
"Ah, that was many years ago..."
He inclined his head.
"I doubt if anyone would know..."
He paused, and slowly cast a sidelong glance at Anthony.
"I’d like to thank you, Anthony…
If you hadn’t spotted me, I’d be lost in the ocean."

"Will I see you again?" he asked politely in his smooth voice. His fur gently blowing know.

Todd raised his head ever so slightly.
"You might find me if you like.. Around Fleet Street, I wouldn’t wander."

Sweeney Todd turned without another word, padding away at a brisk pace from his rescuer. Prowling in the woods, he growled/muttered, "There's a hole in the world like a great black pit and it's filled with people who are filled with shit and the vermin of the world inhabit it..."
He continued forward, until he found himself stumbling into a familiar cave-den... the cave that he had once lived above, in the cavern above the one he had entered.
He paused at the entrance, instantly catching the scent of another wolf... and a strange food...?
(cue MRS.LOVETT! XD)
