The origins of Lonesomeheart, Aqua, and Redemptionheart.
Chapter 1 The Beginning
Somewhere up in the snow covered hills of Alaska, an odd caolored cub was born to two ebony brown bears. The little cub had light teal blue fur, and happened to be birthed just as an aura borealis was occuring up in the star strewn sky above them. Sheltered from the cold wind outside, the father bear gently nuzzled the mother while cupping his paw over hers as she endured the labor and bore their son. Albeit, their first child the two bears thought it strange that the cub's fur was not brown, but nonetheless they were overjoyed that it was well and healthyas it came forth cryingand full of father bear looked at his son's bluish fur, as the mother nusrded their cub. "His fur is Aqua blue. .." mused the father, "How does the name Aqua sound to you."The bear said to his wife. "Yes I think it suits him rather well" She replied,"his name will be aqua."
As the months went by the little cub grew but he had trouble making friends because his appearance was marhedly uncommon. One day during the end of winter the little cub ventured out of his den whilst his parents were yet asleep, and he wondered off just far enough to get lost. He'd been crying for an hour when he heard a voice. "What's wrong?" Aqua looked up from his sulking and saw a young cub with vibrant pink?reddish fur, not much older than him standing there looking at him with curiousity. "I'm...Sniff...lost...sniff...who are you? Replied Aqua as he wiped his face with his paw."I'm Zoey" She said with a shy smile. She walked to where Aqua sat moping and nuzzled his fur, then she circled him while sniffing the ground. "What are you doing?" Aqua asked with a sniffle. "Sigh...follow me... I'll show you how to back track your was home by following your scent" She explained to him. Along the way, the two conversated about each other's uniqueness of fur color. "The other cubs didn't talk to me either but I didn't need em, hmph" Zoey said cocking her head back proudly as she walked beside Aqua. "Well, I wish they talk to me" Aqua panted with a sigh. "you'll have to accept that its them againgst us, you and me, we gotta stick together" Zoey told Aqua. They soon reached the hill over looking his cave den. "Hey! That's my home! How can I ever repay you Zoey, you really helped me today...hey...wait...where are you going?" Aqua asked her. "I have to get back home... My parent's are probably worried sick" She said back to him,"but maybe I'll see you tomorrow." Aqua thanked her again then dashed back to his cave.
Chapter 2 A Turn of Events
At that moment as faith would have it, near the base of the mountain a tall skinny man with black theeth named Vinny was looking through binoculars ans saw the two unique colored cubs in the clearing. "Way man, your not gonna believe this, Joe look it that clearing." Vinny said to Big Joe, his partner in crime, as he handed him the binoculars. "I don't believe it...slrp...mmph." Jow said while shoving a chili dog into his mouth," ...gulp... Iilyana would pay triple to get her hands on those bears." The two smugglers who worked for a black market exotic fur company called Purity Corp immediately phoned the boss whose central office was stationed at the top floor of an exutive building in Australia. "Miss Iilyana, you have another call on line three." Her secratry said through her fancy shmancy headset ear piece. "Put it through." Illyana replied, sitting in her dimly lit office wearing a dark industrial corporate dress suit, and looking out the top floor window while smoking a cigarette and tapping the ashes into her fish's tank. "Hey boss, we found urp... s'cuse me, two more rare beasties to add to your special collection." Joe said while belching into the phone,"but to get them we'll have to delay the transport shipment.", "Don't disaapointment me, remember the deadline os one week from today, if that shipment doesn't reach port by then you and Vinny can consider yourselves marked." Iilyana said annoyed and dropped the call. Big Joe closed his phone and looked at Vinny. "Call the merks, we need to get this done soon or sshhrrcckk!" Joe said drawing his finger across hi throat. Vinny gulped and went to get things in order. The next day as their smuggling boat reached the Alaskian docks, Joe and Vinny gave instructions to the mercenary crew on board who were armed with AR-is rifles adorned scopes, sniper grips, and is round coupler mags. "Okay...everybodylisten up...these are your targets...one is sorta bluish green and the other is kinda reddish pink." Vinny said while holding up his phone to show them the picture he took from yesterday. The mercs looked at each other and shifted nervously. "Um...sir...that's a blue dot and a pink dot..."One of them said finally. "They're bear cubs and we need them alive." Joe said while chomping down a cheese burger. "What about the adult bears?" One of the nercs asked. "Kill them..." Joe replied, wiping some ketchup off his face.
Meanwhile up on the mountain, Aqua and Zoey were frolicking playfully through the tree line unaware of what was taking place several miles down below. By late afternoon the two were just about to part and head to their homes when they heard strange noises they'd never heard before. "What is that?!" Zoey said as she ran toward the direction of the sounds. Coming to the ridge on the hill Zoey and Aqua skidded to a halt. The two cubs had never seen humans before, and below where the hill sloped down, a group of strange looking creatures were at Zoey's den and she saw them draggin out the bodies of her parents. "No sign of the cub." One merk mumbled to the other. "MOM!!!DAD!!!" Zoey yelled. The merks turned and looked up at the top of the bank where the bears were. Aqua and Zoey saw that the strange creatures had spotted them and the better part of fear willed them to run, "Bravo team, this is bottom feeder, we spotted the cubs, they're headed back your way." The merk relayed the dispatch through his headset. As the two bears ran through the tree line they heard gunfire on the other side of the plateau where Aqua's den was. He begun to run frantically in that direction when Zoey stopped him, clamping her jaws onto his leg. "Lefh tshem gwfo, we can't helph tshem amyfhor." Zoey told him, whilst trying to hold her own self together amidst this heart rending tragedy. More mercs on atv's came ripping through the treeloine on both sides, forcing the bears to run the only way that semmed clear...down. Gravity helped, but also hindered as the two cubs slipped and tumbled on their way down. Unfortunately the bears themselves cut off at the bottom by an impasse of mercs laying in wait and set upon them in nets. "Whoo-hoo! We gotem! Call the teams in, we are code nine." quipped one of the men. "Let us go! Zoey said while squirming. The mercs became pale faced and looked as if ready to drop over dead. "Wh...!!? What...did you say!!?" sputtered one of the men. " I said let us go you meanies!" Zoey replied back. "!!? It...!! It can talk!! This...this is too awesome!! Iilyana is sure to quadruple our pay for our catch!" The merks cheered ovially,
Chapter 3 Shipped Away & Slipped away
Monday-somewhere between 10: am and 1:pm, Aqua and Zoey had been captured for three days now and on and off both ofthem cried. The two were held in cages across from eachother somewhere in the lower deck of the smuggling ship. Other animals of various types were in cages besides across from each other somewhere in the lower deck of the smuggling ship. Other animals of various types were in cages beside them, and all of them looked sullen and miserable. Vinny came down the metal steps into the lower deck to do his routine count and feeding of the animals. Day after day it was the same thing. The animals recieved water and diced cutlets of old fruit, and some kind of mush on a thin metal tray which was slid through the small slot at the base of their cages. If any of the animals got aggressive, Vinny would poke and prod at them with a metal rod, but by now most of the animals had lost their zeal, and Zinny figured he had showed them he was the boss. But this made him lax and complacent, forgetting how crafty animals could be. Wednesday-Vnny came down to feed the animals as usual. "Yep... One more day till port and then I'll be rid of the lot of you!" Vinny said as he went about sliding trays under each cage. "Yawn...oh man, Ibeen working too much. gee, it's so warm and cozy down here, kinda feel like taking a nap...I'll just lay down for awhile...try to catch up...On my...sleep." Whether by stupidity or fate,Vinny layed down inbetween the two rows of cages and a small teal blue paw reached out from a cage nimbly fethced the key_ringoff from his belt. Aqua's heart thumped nervously as he worked the key intothe lock and turned it, and the latch swung open. The other animals pawed at the front of their cages in anticipation, desparate to be loosed. "Shhh..." Aqua whispered, trying to quiet them. Vinny began to stir. "Aqua just go, get out of here!" Zoey said in a hushed tone of voice. "I'm not leaving with out you." Aqua protested back. Vinny opened his eyes groggily,"What the!?" He said half dazed. "Aqua! Run!: Zoey yelled sternly. Aqua dropped the keys and scampered as fast as his little legs could carry him to the stairs. Vinny odve at him but fekk over the cages causinga ruchus. "What's going on down their?" Joe said, hearing the clamor, and headed toward the lower deck stairway. A blue ball of fur ran past him going inbetween his legs. "What the..!?! Its the cub! He's escaped! Get him! Joe yelled to the crew on the top deck desparately evading the crews lunging attempts to sieze him. "Not like that you embeciles! Use the nets!" Joe fumed, throwing his hands up in the air as he hollered. Frantic to get sway, Aqua scampered over the side railing forgetting there was nothing but air to run on. He plummeted down inti the choppy waters below. As thecrew ran to the side preparing to lower men in a lifeboat their jaws dropped at what they saw next. Somewhere out of nowhere came two bottle nosed dolphins. They seemed to sense the bear's panic and swam under his arms catching him on their back fins and quickly swam ahead to the Australian shore line. The crew on board the ship were dumbfounded, and all of their jaws dropped in disbelief of what they had just witnessed. "#%*!" Joe yelled belligerently and threw his cap on the deck and stomped on it.
Thursday morning-Aqua opened his eyes to find himself on land. For a moment he wondered how he got there but remembered that he had collapsed shortly after reaching the shore. Prior to waking, Aqua had been dreaming he was underwater somewhere, and this dream he saw two dolphins swimming around him. "Weird dream." He said to himself. The ocean breeze felt coll and gentle, almost coaxing Aqua to get lost in the moment. Then he remembered Zoey and the others still captive on the ship. Aqua looked around andsniffed the air. This place wherever it was, seemed entirely unfamiliar to him. Everything smelled different that where he was born, and he couldn't recognize any ofthe terrain. With nothing else to go on, he began walking along the coast, but as he went, despair had soon set in and he began to lose confidence that he would ever see Zoey again. "Its hopeless..." He muttered as he slumped down on the sand and looked towards the horizon. Minutes passed and the sense of loneliness began to set in. Aqua began sobbing as as the hot afternoon sun crept overhead. Then it seemed as if something obstructed the sunlight, which caught his attention. Still choking on tears, he looked up and opened his eyes. A tall figure garbed in a light brown robe and hood that was standing before him.
Chapter 4 ???
Aqua could see the skin of his hands were dark, akin to asken black like coal, and long locks of flowing white hair putruded out from the hood. But Aqua didn't feel afraid as the figure stood there, with his robe blowing in the wind. Caring, compassion, and strength seemd to flow from the figure , who's face Aqua couldn't see due to the glare of the sun behind him. The figure knelt down on one knee and lowered his hood revealing his prominent drow features. "Hey there little guy, what are you doing out here all by yourself?" The drow asked , more as a wonderment than an actual question. "I'm lost..." Aqua said through his sniffles. The draw was taken aback. "You can speak!!? That is interesting, I am Mel'feir, do you have a name?" He asked. "My name is Aqua." Said the ruffled looking cut as he sat up on his hind paws. "Aqua eh? You mentioned you were lost, do you remember how you ended up here?" Mel'feir asked him. So Aqua began explaining everything that had happened up to that point. Mel'feir stroked his chin. "That ship sounds like a smuggling boat, do you think you could identify it if you saw it again?" He asked. "I think so." Aqua replied. "Okay, then let's see if we can find your friend." Melf'eir said as he picked up the cub and set him down inside his hood, "What was her name again?". "Zoey." Aqua replied as he latched his paws onto Mel'feirs pointy ears to sturdy himself. Melf'eir's eyes burst white with light, then after a few minutes blue and white energy prisms fluxed around his body and he and the cub vanished from the spot and phased in somewhere near the seaward harbor. Shortly after teleporting in, Aqua noticed a distortion in the color spectrum of his vision. "What's going on?" Aqua asked with concern. "Shhh...we are in shadowcloak, what are you seeing is the effects of the light bending around us, people will hardly seeus, but we can still be heard, so we have to be quiet." Mel'feir explained in a whisper. As he walked alongf the dock, carefully avoiding collisions with oncoming pedestrians, he told Aqua to point out the boat if he saw it. "There it is." Aqua whispered excitedly, pointing to a large cargo ship with a black hull. "Looks like its already been unloaded." Mel'feir said. "How can you tell?" Aqua asked him. "See that faint water marking around the hull? That's where the water came up when the ship was fully loaded." Mel'feir explained, "But the animals could still be on board, I'll have to come back later and see what I can find." "Come back later? Why?" Aqua protested. "Because I have to put you somewhere safe first." Mel'feir said. On the way back to the cave near the shore where he'd been living in the past few month's, Mel'feir got an earfull of the bear's protests. "Aqua! That's enough! I want you to stay in there and wait for me, can you do that?!" Mel'feir scolded him. "Oh...alright, I'll stay and wait." Aqua said, pouting. "Good, I'll be back." Mel'feir said and left.
Nightfall, between 11:00 P.M. and midnight. Joe entered the cabin room in the ship and flipped the light on, to find Mel'feir lounging back in his captains chair. "Who are you?!" Joe stammered. "I'll be asking the questions." Mel'feir said and waved his hand to shut the door behind Joe. "Who do you work for and where did you take the animals that were on this ship?" Mel'feir asked sternly. "I don't know what your talking about." Joe said, reaching for his hand gun. Melf'feir shook his head,"Wrong answer!" An ethereal force pulled the gun up out of Joe's grip and drew the pistol into Mel'feir's hand. He released the clip, then pulled the slide back and knowcked out the slide stop and dropped the dismantled pistol on the floor. "Tell me where they are and we can pretend this never happened." Mel'feir said as he crossed the room. Joe turned around and tried pulling on the door but wouldn't budge. Mel'feir seized him by the back of his collar, spun him around, and grabbed him by the throat, lifting him off the flor,"I'll ask you one last time, where are they?!!" "Okay, okay, I'll talk, they were cargo loaded to an industrial building not far from here, its near the central square of the city, its a tall corporate building with a sign out front that saids Purinty Corp, you can't miss it, now that's all I know, I swear!" Joe said nervously as beads of sweat ran down his face. Mel'feir brought him down and pushed Joe's head back against the door with two fingers pressed against his temple. A small surge of electricity emmited from his finger tips, zapping Joe's forehead, and Joe slumped to the floor unconscious.
