the furred by aaron west
-
A long time ago the creatures known as the “furred” were created by scientist Fredrick Asad. when they started to multiply general Mack Defan declared war on them. The war raged on for a long 20 years and it eventually came to a draw both sides lost many lives but now both skin and fur live in harmony. the leaders of the furred during the war were elite specimens of great biological beauty made of mythical blood and they say their children are even stronger but one day they were murdered by the one man who was known as the fur collector. people where heartbroken as they were a symbol of furred rights some people believe that one had a child that they kept hidden and that the great leaders never really died out, What do I believe? Heh that is where our story starts…
“Good morning, USA I have a feeling that it is going to be a wonderful day the sun in the sky has a smile on its fa- Joel
turns the tv off as he yawns. “it’s time to start the day” Joel
gets dressed and gets ready for the day ahead. “I cannot wait to climb spring mountain I’m doing this for you father” Joel says
as he picks up a picture of him and his dad. Joel eats his
breakfast and grabs his climbing gear. Joel gets in his car and
drives to the mountain.
“Alright time to climb this beast” Joel says while grabbing onto
a ledge. His climb was long and hard, but he eventually reached
the top and what he found amazed him “I-is that a temple? I
thought no one has ever been here before” Joel says looking
inside. “Today is the day Roseanne Kaison becomes a leader for
the furred kind a symbol of purity and strength and soon no
longer will we be abused by the skinned but live together in
harmony.” Says the strange figure to what Joel assumes to be a fox woman. “a leader? Could it be true that a leader did have a
child?” Joel says quite loudly. “Roseanne, take care of the
intruder will you.” “Yes sir” says the girl. “Uh oh” Joel says
while starting to run. Eventually the girl catches up to Joel and
tackles him as they roll downhill, eventually coming to a stop.
Their eyes meet as Joel can feel her soft fur on his body. “Who
are you?! State your business! Have you come to slay the last
furred leader?!” “n-no I was just climbing a mountain when I
came across this temple” “how could a weak human like you be able to climb this mountain and make it out alive? No human
has done that since 2046.” “My father taught me how and I’ve
been climbing since I was seven.” “Then your father must have been an intelligent man…” they stare at each other before Joel
saying, “did anyone ever tell you your fur is very soft.” “… my
mother used to tell me that before she was… murdered by… a
horrible human… Nya! Anyway, come with me so I can find out what master Kaison wants to do with you. And yes, he is my
father.” “o-ok” Joel says nervously. They both walk to the
temple. “So, Roseanne who happens to be this intruder?” “He
never told me his name.” “my names Joel the son of George
Carson.” “George Carson, you say. I knew him we both worked
together during the war, he was a good man.” “I am sure he
would appreciate you saying that.” “Well since you are up here, I might as well train you… your room is 362 written in metal” Kaison hands Joel the keys before Joel heads to his room The next morning Joel wakes up to find Roseanne standing beside his bed. “Good morning, Joel it’s time for breakfast then we will train.” “Hm? Oh right… I am getting up” “your robe is in the closet the clothier made it from caterpillar silk you will keep it forever, it will stand for every part of your life you have had and will have… at least that is what father says.” “that’s interesting…” Joel goes to the closet and puts on the robe. “Uhm… why are you watching me?” “Oh s-sorry…” Roseanne says while quickly turning away. They both eat breakfast and walk to the training hall. “Good morning you two, I hope my daughter didn’t disturb you, Joel?” “Not at all…” Joel says while they walk to the first course. “This is the holographic battlefield it will where you will practice surviving as well as killing, it will simulate pain when you get hurt but you won’t really be hurt, you may start… now!” Joel rushes through the course shooting everything that moves when he is eventually hit by a bullet. “Get to safety Joel and treat that wound.” Joel gets behind a wall, takes his knife, and pries out the bullet as he winces in pain, he eventually shoots his target in the leg and snaps his neck. “Good job son, you did well for your first try. Now you must protect some furred from hostiles you cannot let one die.” Joel starts off the round by shooting multiple enemies scattering their brains on the floor he switches to his sidearm to not waste primary ammo when an enemy manages to sneak behind him and stab him in the leg, Joel then rips the knife out and shoves it into the enemy’s neck Joel then grabs the knife and throws it into an approaching enemy’s head. “Good job Joel you did great” Roseanne yells from the sidelines. “You’re doing great son” master Kaison says. Joel finally finishes the last enemy off with a bullet to the head. “You did well son I can tell you have the skill of your father.” “My father fought in the war?” “Yes, he was a trained assassin he killed 200 people in a facility once with just a knife.” “That sounds hard to do…” “it was, and he almost got caught only once. He was also a samurai that protected this temple.” “Though one day the human government led a mission to destroy this temple, he managed to fight off the army, but it cost him his life, he bled out in that room over there, we built a shrine in his name as no other human has paid so much in order to protect our kind.” Master Kaison points to a door on the right Joel walks in and sees a large statue of a samurai and at the bottom a plaque that reads “George Carson: a good soldier and a greater human” “so that’s why my father left when I was 15…” “yes he told me he had a son so I promised to train you to become a warrior for the greater good, that is why he wanted to take you to spring mountain, but he died before he could take you. I am glad you can continue your father’s work; I hope as you sleep tonight you think about how much your father fought for. Anyways I hope all that training made you hungry we are having tacos made by our cooks they are exceptionally good.” “Sounds delicious.” Joel says happily. They eat dinner and get ready to sleep. “h-hey Joel” Roseanne says nervously standing in between the door frame before walking closer. “Yes Roseanne?” “Tomorrow is an event where Jupiter aligns with Venus, and I know the perfect spot to see it, I was wondering if you want to see it with me?” “s-sure Roseanne I’d love to go there with you.” “that’s great, I’ll see you tomorrow” “see you tomorrow, Roseanne.” They both go to sleep and the next day Joel wakes up and does not see Roseanne anywhere he walks outside to find master Kaison crying on the ground. “I am sorry you must see me like this son… but they took my only child. I tried to stop them, but they stole her from me, please… save her…” Joel sees a bleeding human on the ground. “Who do you work for and where did you take here!?” “Th-cough they took her to the army base downtown they were going to question her over things that happened during the war. That is all I know I swear!” Joel snaps the enemy’s neck and grabs his mountain gear. “Joel, I have something to give you it is your fathers Kamas and your fathers.
tec-1.” “Thank you master…” Joel descends the mountain, gets in his car, and drives to the army base. Joel sneaks into the base when a furred soldier spots him “the horrors I have seen them do here are wrong. I recognize your armor you are an elite soldier for the leaders themself. I will help you if you get me out of here.” “Great, state your name soldier.” “My name is Caine Lanley I’m a general for the U.S. army.” “Well then can you show me where they have taken the leaders daughter?” “It is that serious?! Well of course but I never heard she would be here; I did not even know she existed. But if I had to guess she would be in the interrogation room c’mon I will show you where it is.” They both walk down the hall and approach the door with Joel wearing handcuffs. “State your business.” “I’m bringing this furred rebel in for questioning.” Very well” Caine and Joel walk inside and go to the interrogation rooms they take out the guards by execution and enter the room. “Joel?” “I came to save you rose now let’s get out of here before they catch us” Joel rose, and Caine barely escape killing a few soldiers in their path and they go back to the temple. “My daughter, you brought her back!” “Dad!” They both hugged each other happily. “Oh, Joel I forgot its almost time for the alignment Caine do you want to join us?” “It would be an honor.”The three sit by a rock together watching the stars align when Joel wonders when will the violence stop, will what he did today mean nothing eventually, or will people take his
advice that all creatures are created equal.
