Thinking about Arctica's story vs Lupin from A Rogue and his Mutant and how Lupin's story has all but fizzled out (I still think I'll finish A Rogue and his Mutant just some time in the future) I realized Arctica succeeded for the same reason Chanchalla's story succeeded in that the character's past their mystery is what compells me to keep writing, Lupin as an escaped Mutant slave while she isn't a complete blank slate the fact that she hasn't had the same eperiences with human-like family life like Arctica or Chanchalla had makes her a lot less relatable and of course there is a mystery about each of the two leading ladies for Chanchalla it is solving the mystery of the crime she knows her Father was framed for she just doesn't know how and the conspirasy behind that crime for Arctica the question is twofold how did she come the the Turtles' world and why does she have such a freaky appearance? Well hopefully with these net few chapters we hope to answer those questions.

So with the operations finished, both Don and Arctica had soft, gauzy bandages wrapped around their necks, and they were advised to keep them on at least for a time, the branches of the trees had a way of reaching for the stitches on the back of their necks, the Old Woman wanted to back them a goody bag for the trip but Don insisted that was quite unnecessary, he had enough in his Duffel including emergency rations and he did know how to some extent to live off the land.

And so with the summer sun finally beginning to set, Don and Arctica once again set off to climb the hill.

"I just realized something..." Don said as he helped Arctica up some particurally steep terrain

"What's that?" Arctica asked

"Last night when you said you had been captured by slavers two years before you came here...That opeens a whole new batch of questions, like did you come here in attempt to escape slavery?"

Arctica sighed "Kind of..." She said "...I found the magic train that took me to this world by accident and...Well once again to understand it I think we have to start at the beginning, picking up where we left off."

FLASHBACK

Wolves are a very popular slave Humanimal in Planet Viola Strierra's Capitol City and the Surrounding Areas, the Capitol City was located just under the Planet's Northern Ice Cap the reasoning the Planet's founders had was you keep computer's cold to keep them running smoothly than the same must also apply to humans keep them in a cool envioroment to keep their wits sharp! Also the Founders believed the Primitive Human Societies of the Ice Age were 'stronger' and 'more pure' than the 'domesticated' humans of today so they wanted to stimulate the envioroment of the Ice Age in hopes of recreating the race of Supermen they believed existed at the beginning of time.

But in that harsh cold envioment certain species of Humanimals, cold blooded species and certain delicate tropical species like certain kind of tropical birds couldn't fair so well, so Wolves were etremely popular because they were well equipped for the harsh Northern winters and they were more exotic and 'Wild' than common domestic dog Humanimals.

Arctic Wolves of course were even more coveted than the common Grays, their snow white fur perfectly fit in with the City's glorification of winter.

So seeing the pretty young White Wolf before them the Wranglers decided to make her a Dancer for one of their nightclubs, Arctica did know how to dance at her school on Mizzer, the choices for Physical Education were either P.E. Or Dance so most of the boys would take P.E and most of the girls would take dance but some of the smaller more delicate males would choose dance and you always knew who they were when came time for dance recitals.

And thus Arctica began her training to become a Dancer since on the Wrangler Plnaets Humanimals were considered adults at thirteen next year she would begin dancing for the humans on club stage.

As a 'Public Property Slave' (As opposed to one who was privatly owned, when her shift was done she took the 'Air Elevators' to underground cabins beneath the city where the off-duty slaves were kept out of sight and out of mind, the cabins were mixed males and females slept together with two bathrooms for the males and females.

Already Arctica was beginning to yearn for the luxeries she knew on Mizzer, she wanted properly cooked meals instead of the 'carnivore chow' AKA kibble she was receiving for breakfast and supper, she didn't want a shower she had to share with every other female of the cabin she wanted bubble baths! She wanted her own bed she had on Mizzer, a water bed with lots of covers instead of this hard little bunk bed with one blanket.

Arctica chose to sleep in the lower bunk, the Humanimal who slept above her was a Dog-Girl of the Basset Hound Breed named Myrtle, a real Southern Belle of a Dog but the Wranglers didn't see that instead they chose to make her a Maid which was really more of a female janitor, her job was to clean public building while wearing a French maid outfit.

Interupt Flashback

"Why?" Don asked "If she's really just a janitor, why the French maid outfit? That outfit would be more for personal servants of someone's house not waxing the floor of the civic center."

"Why do you think?" Arctica asked dryly "Someone in the Wranglers just has a 'thing' for putting female animals in French maid outfits."

Think I'll leave it there for now the rest of the story shall be continued in the next chapter
