The Return Of Big M

After returning from her trip to the coast, Big M is eager to get her crew back to work!
"Mandy, "Tank", get Anne! I got a job for you three."

"You calling boss?"

"Long flight, dry mouth, ate too many peanuts, of course I'm calling you "Tank"!"

To Sit In The Throne

"Stand guard Mandy! I have grown old and weary, yet I sit and wait for our new guests to arrive for the meeting. I do not fear the darkness that trails them in the light, but it is they that shall fear the darkness we will encompass upon them. Don't let my blonde hair, and teddy bear brown eyes fool you, at the end of the day, I am, we are, "The Family". These shadows will soon learn our family motto, 'Don't ever, ever, touch our bones!' We can see in the dark, we can hunt in the dark, we can thrive in the dark, but can a shadow, who has only seen light, their light, survive one moment in darkness. I think its time for "The Tank" to educate.

Cold Comfort

I shall only leave my shawl when the snow and cold air cease! I moved "The Family" down South for many reasons, but not for a cold tail nub, but hear my orders clearly. Find "The Tail"! Something is awry; we can all feel Mr. Shadowcaster's presence, yet he refuses to reveal his return. Go to work "Tank", lead the way, and maybe this Southern winter will cease.

A Christmas Tail

As the leader of "The Family" I command all members to go forth and bring Christmas cheer to all!

Ugh...not yet, just a few more hours of sleep. Afterall, I've been spreading Christmas fear all night...I mean Christmas jeer, I mean cheer, I've been spreading Christmas cheer all night long! What did you say? A  Christmas gift just for me!

Get down from there now! "The Tank" says get down!

The bearer of gifts is indeed a good soul.

Sweet Gracie, "The Tank" gave us a Wii!

Wait a minute, Tina's working, were all here, but where's Anne?

Don't worry "Tank" I'm back at the snuggery getting snuckered, the in-laws are here! Merry Christmas!

What kind of ornament is that in the tree, or is that...."The Tail"!

Yea, yea, "...and to all a good night."

Presentation Of The Bag O' Shadows

Big M is granted permission to present me with the Bag O' Shadows. I quicky return home, and wait for Mr. Shadowcaster.

As I await his arrival, my shadow enters into a fiery rage, and attempts to reattach to my body. No matter how hard I fight, some of the shadow manages to attach. I fear Mr. Shadowcaster's reaction.

I watch Mr. Shadowcaster dreadfully descend down upon me, and as the other shadows sense his arrival, they too enter into a rage, and can only burn with vengance for his actions.

But behold, all is calm and well, for Mr. Shadowcaster surprises us all, and gently releases my shadow in its entirety, while giving me authority to release the others as well. The gesture is comforting, but I know that in darkness glimpses of light are rarely seen. I have seen a light in Mr. Shadowcaster, but I have also seen it dim. So carefull I will be, and precise in the steps my paws take.

Big M's Bag

Strongly encouraged to find Brown Dog, Grandma Mo' also informed me that Mr. Shadowcaster has given her guardianship over the many shadows that have been stolen. Big M holds her Bag O' Shadows closely, as she shortens my deadline. I can feel Mr. Shadowcaster's presence in the tip of my tail, but yet I see no shadow.
