Yeah this is my first time writing something so be wary of all the mistakes.

Note: This is just the Prologue, its meant to be short.

Prologue
Legault trudged through the harsh snow. The weather had become colder all of a sudden. Legault did not understand why all the Fang members had been called to the castle; the next meeting wasn’t for three weeks. He pulled up the hood of his cloak to cover his face. He climbed up the mountain path almost slipping once or twice on the icy terrain. He saw no animals around in the surrounding undergrowth as he approached the fortress it was as if something was scaring them.

He arrived at the castle and the guards opened the door for him with a nod of the head.
“Hurricane” they said as he passed. He knew they held contempt for him because he was younger then they were and yet so high up the ranks. He walked through the gigantic castle walls, walking past the paintings he had seen so many times now, that he could remember the order they were in. Most of them were portraits of the old masters of this castle; the Commander had not bothered to take them down. Eventually he arrived at the meeting room along the northern tower of the fortress, he pushed open the door.

He stepped inside and looked around; he could see all the familiar faces: Lloyd, Linus, Uhai, Jan and the commander sitting around a table.
“Oh Legault there you are” Brendan said as he got up to greet him “So glad you could make it”

He issued him a seat in between Linus and Uhai.

“What’s going on?” Legault whispered to Uhai.

“Couldn’t tell you” He replied

Brendan got up and went to the door on the other side of the room which led to a secret dining room for when they ever got hungry.

“Now you are probably wondering why I have called you all here, well I have to introduce you to someone”

As he opened the door a woman glided past him and stood beside him.

“I would like to introduce you to my new wife, her name is Sonia”

As soon as the woman had entered the room the atmosphere had changed. Legault looked at the woman and felt a chill go down his spine as he noticed the unhumanly glare of those amber eyes….

Not exactly a bad start. Try to keep sentences less short and more interesting, though.

This should start a new paragraph.


QUOTE
“Hurricane” they said as he passed.
There should be a comma in between "Hurricane" and they. Also, text starts a new paragraph.

A comma in between Jan and commander.

QUOTE

"Oh, Legault, there you are!" Brendan said, standing to greet him. "So glad you could make it," would be a lot better. Also, never forget punctuation.

QUOTE
“Couldn’t tell you” He replied
"Couldn't tell you," he replied.
QUOTE

“Now you are probably wondering why I have called you all here, well I have to introduce you to someone”
"Now, you are probably wondering why I have called you all here. Well, I have someone to whom you should meet," or "Now, you are probably wondering why I have called you here; I have someone for you to meet."
QUOTE

“I would like to introduce you to my new wife, her name is Sonia”
Should either be two sentences, or connected with a semicolon.

unhumanly is not a word; inhumane is the one you're looking for.

Aside from what I've nitpicked, you have a good, solid, albeit short, prologue going.
