A heavy fog rose over the bleak western
march. In the distance a storm lay over the deltas of the Myanam
river. The mighty sound of thunder pounded the airwaves with its deep
bass gong. A light yet constant rain beat the ground softly. The
hills to the south were blown by a light breeze. The greatest city of
men, Sanim Htirit stood tranquil as it went through its daily life.
On the east bank of the Myanam lay the Graylands. A heavy land cover
in cloud were no sun could reach. Beneath the heavy grey dust lay a
vast wasteland with a evil history. The northern forest of Wardulker
was dark with doom. Things were starting that would lead to a great
shifting of power and people in the land of Theresia.
On the Anormeda cliffs on the coast of
the Duinan sea was a Furry. She romped the cliffs thinking to
herself.
This isn't so bad! Why do people
think these cliffs are so bad? A
rock fell out from beneath her. She barely made it to a ledge.
Whoa,
that was unexpected. The
rock she was on started to give way. So did the next, and the next.
“I guess I can't back that way,” she said to herself, “I guess
these cliffs are pretty dangerous.”
At the top of the cliff sat a man. Not a important or good looking
man. Just a man. A man with a past. A past that would affect the way
the world worked. A man named Demigod.
Demigod saw the Furry struggling to get off the cliffs. He unwound a
rope from his waist and lowered it to the Furry.
“Grab on!” he said.
“Who are you?” asked the Furry.
“Someone who is trying to help you.
Grab the rope.” he said. The Furry clamped its canine teeth onto
the rope. Demigod pulled the furry up the cliff.
“Thanks. I'm Rine.” said the
Furry.
“Demigod.” said the Man. He coiled
the rope and headed toward the forest edge.
“Your just going to leave?” said
Rine. Demigod didn't answer. Rine trotted over to him.
“What are you?” asked Demigod.
“You rescued me without knowing what
I was?” said Rine sceptically.
“I recognized you from somewhere.”
He said.
“Where?” She asked sceptical that
this was true.
“A dream. What are you?” He said.
“I'm a Furry.”
she tilted back her dog like ears and swept her tail.
“Very nice. What
where you doing on those cliffs?” said Demigod. He started to
walked towards the woods again.
“I was trying
get down to the cliffs. I'm bored of all the caves in the forest.”
Rine said with a shrug.
“Bad idea. Don't
you know that these cliffs are infamous for sea dragons and land
sharks?” Said Demigod informatively.
“Aren't those
both the same thing?” asked Rine. She noticed that Demigod was
scanning the horizon.
“What are you
looking at?”
“Do you see that
speck on the horizon?” he asked squatted down to her size and
pointing out to sea.
“Yeah. What is
it?” asked Rine.
“I
don't yet know, but I feel it has some evil purpose,” Demigod said,
“I had a dream of a great tower rising from the sea. A great
warlock stood at the peak of the tower. His lips did not move yet a
great deep voice filled my dream.”
“What did it
say?” Rine enquired.
“It said: The
Storm is coming. There will be no dawn for the free people of
Theresia.”
“Creepy.” She
said with a shudder.
“Indeed. My
vision then changed. I saw a village in smoke with many of your kind
dead or dying. I saw a great city, though I do not which, in ruins.
It was razed to the ground. Then I saw a great beast of purple and
black pouring fire and scorching the Myanam delta.”
A scorching wind
blew over Rine and Demigod. Rine stood on her hind paws and sniffed
the air. She smelled burning flesh and smoke. A deep black cloud of
ash and smoke rose into the air.
“Could that
be...?” said Demigod raising an eyebrow.
“My village!”
exclaimed Rine. She started towards the woods. Demigod stood immobile
for a minute then went after her.
Far out in the
Duinan sea a tower did indeed rise. A great tower made of black
volcanic glass. Volcanic glass, known as obsidian, has a magical
quality that resists the intense white liquid fire that pours from
the lungs of dragons.
A person stood on
the top of the tower. He was not extremely old or extremely young. He
was in the middle. You may have read that elves are beings of good.
You may have read that they only stand for what is pure and true and
righteous and beautiful. You have been well informed about certain
races of elves.
You, however may
not of been informed of the other elves. The evil elves. The elves
that despise all good creatures and beings. They long to tear down
the empires of free races. They look like other elves in almost every
way. They wear bright colours and have long flowing fair hair.
But there eyes.
There eyes are bright purple with a ring of deep green. Those eyes
hold a void of intense evil. In those eyes you can see death and
disease and fire and shadow.
Those eyes
belonged to the elf at the top of the tower.
Those eyes gazed
across the sea towards a man.
Not
a important or good looking man. Just a man. A man with a past. A
past that would affect the way the world worked. A man named Demigod.
Those
eyes ignited a fire. They ignited a fire that would sweep across
Theresia and nothing would be left unscathed.
Those
eyes started the metamorphosis.
so, whats a furry suposed to look like?
