Courstia. This was my homeland. It has been years since I evacuated after me and my brother…
Well, we'll get to that.
In Courstia, there is a large land space that spans out a few thousand feet. There were vast forests, green fields, and the town of Corgia, obviously named after the Corgi. This was weird because the town only had 1 leader, an albino Corgi named Alastair. He was very intelligent and created this town from the ground up. There were also 2 humans there who don't reveal their real names and stick to fake ones, but the one who really knew me was Cord. He had unbelievable accuracy and was especially good at using swords, and he owns 2 of them.
The other was a guard whose fake name was Sentry. He was really good at using firearms (guns) and he can easily track down and kill any convict he is after. I didn't really like Sentry, because he was always on watch and never talked much. He just… watched everything.
Enough about them for now, because my brother on the other hand is important. My brother, Thadd, was a speedy fox. Literally. He made special boots infused with our rare gemstone, Unobtanium. The gem can make anyone faster when in close proximity to it, and Thadd has a secret stash of it. He used their energy to make the boots have a purple trail come out of it and make him faster than anyone, like, for example, I used a speed meter and measured that he can run speeds up to about 75 miles per hour, which is fast for a fox!
I checked up on him one day while he was testing them out.
Fenton: Sup, Thadd. What are you doing?
Thadd: Oh, hey Fenton. Just about to go check on Metzi. Wanna come she how she is doing?
Fenton: Sure, it felt like days since we heard from her.
We both walked out of Thadd's shack and went over to Metzi's house. Metzi is a coyote who is also a part-time private investigator. She went silent for a few days and everyone in Corgia didn't know why.
Fenton: You think she'll be OK?
We made it to her house.
Thadd: I don't know. Maybe she is a little-
Thadd opened the door and we saw Metzi exhausted on the floor and 2 little guys, one of them running around and the other sleeping in a weird location.
Thadd: -stressed…
Fenton: Metzi?!
Metzi: Hey… God, I am exhausted. You see these little guys around here?
Fenton: You had kids?
Metzi: For some reason. This one running around is Drip. She is always energized and I don't know why.
Thadd: What about that one?
Thadd points to the sleeping one.
Metzi: Oh… There goes Scags.
Fenton: Scags?
Thadd: Is he even alive?
Metzi: Man, I don't even know. When I ado- I MEAN had him, he was just asleep. He is alive, but he doesn't wake up because unlike Drip here, Scags is always exhausted, Like me right now.
Me and Thadd just look at each other for a bit.
Fenton: Do you need some time alone?
Metzi is already asleep. Me and Thadd slowly back out of the room so she can have rest. Drip is still running around, and Scags is still asleep. Very weird. We eventually make it out of her house and silently close the door.
Fenton: She had kids.
Thadd: This explains why she was silent for those couple of days!
We both walked back to Thadd's shack and on the way, I passed by Sentry. I didn't take notice of him because he was just focused on one thing in the distance. I took a short glance to what we was watching and noticed the siren light. When someone in Corgia is evacuating, Sentry notices and activates the siren lights which shine red and play a siren to warn the guards of that escapist. I got nervous.
We managed to make it back and instead, Thadd grabs my paw and leads me to a room covered in a large tarp.
Fenton: Uh, Thadd? What is this?
Thadd: You'll see…
Fenton: If you say so.
He uncovers the tarp and under it, is a small room, but it is glowing purple out of the cracks in the wood.
Fenton: Is this your unobtanium stash?
Thadd: Yes…
He unlocks the padlock with the combination "DISCOVER, and it clicks open.
Fenton: Woah.
Inside is a large, purple glowing stash of about $100 worth of unobtanium.
Thadd: I know, right?
Fenton: But what are we doing here?
Thadd: Uncover what's under all of it.
I start to take off pieces of unobtainium and under it is a box.
Fenton: What.
I open it and I am shocked about what I see.
Fenton: NO WAY.
Inside the box is a bottle of the most poisonous, illegal liquid in the entire universe, LifeCrush.
Fenton: Why do you have this?!
Thadd: Because… Because I accidentally committed a murder with it…
