Vulpe here again…. This time at 2 a.m : )
Now where were we…
Light, white light, that's all there was. I slowly pulled myself up, only to immediately have my head pulsate with pain. After the pain subsided I attempted to take in my surroundings, but again all there was, again, white light
This was already weird, but there was something else…
I slowly looked down at my hands, or what used to be hands. They weren't hands at all… they were paws. I franticly checked the rest of my body. I had black fur all over my body with white markings on my thighs and face. "What the hell happened?" I shouted out in fear, continuing to pat down my body to make sure there weren't any more surprises. Yet, I instantly found that I had sprouted a fluffy black tail with a white tip. Right after that I felt my now fox-like ears and touched what looked to be my muzzle."Okay, what is going on here?"
"Do not fret young one…"
"Who is that? Show yourself!" I said while spinning around in an attempt to find the source of the anonymous voice.
"Calm yourself…" the voice whispered
"I have no idea where I am or why I'm here, or if this is even real!" I said in defiance.
"Then we will do it for you…" The voice shouted out suddenly.
"Wha!—"I didn't even have time to finish.
At that moment 4 opaque white rings appeared out of nowhere and held my arms and legs, outstretched. My whole body was flung towards what seemed to be a wall of some kind. This event left my head whirling in a state of confusion and pain. After I regained my countenance, I lifted my head up to see the coarse outline of an anonymous figure, who was walking towards me. I tried to break my bonds, but this attempt was to no avail. They seemed to have been made of some kind of energy that was amazingly resilient.
"What's this all about?" I said drowsily, my vision going in and out from concentration. I couldn't keep my head still.
The figure slowly made its way towards me, saying nothing. I noted that this figure also had a tail and ears, very similar to the aspects I had found on my "new" body.
When it reached me, it simply lifted my head with a single hand and looked me straight in the eyes… They were the same eyes that I had seen when I had blacked out…
"Now you need to behave…" The figure whispered in my ear.
I didn't have the strength to respond, all I could do was simply blink once or twice. The figure dropped my head back down, saying "We will try this later, for now rest…"
The voice was femine…
This was when I started to go in and out of consciousness.
My eyes opened slowly and closed in the same manner. I saw a group of figures before me, they seemed to be talking. I was so disoriented that I couldn't make out who or what they were.
"Can we really help this one?" One of the figures said.
"We can, it will be a risk, for he has no idea who he is or what his kind's history is. It will take time, but I believe that we can… only time will tell… "
I continued to lapse in and out of consciousness…
"Where did you find this one?" Another figure voiced. I opened my eyes slightly to vaguely see the figure pointing at me.
"Knoax, brought him here before the incident. He thinks that he train him to be one of us and possibly aid the normal ones." The second figure said.
"Who allowed him to do that?"
"He did it without permission, but he mentioned that it had something to do with the priestess."
"What would she have to do with one of his kind?" first figure said, again pointing at me.
"That's not for me or you to know, she will bring it to the rest of us eventually."
I didn't have the mental strength to stay conscious any longer and I let my mind drift off into a deep sleep…
Once again, I opened my eyes and they were blinded by the same white light that I had seen before I lost consciousness. I was still immobilized against the wall. Yet, this time there was another one of my senses that had been alerted. There were noises coming from all directions. It sounded as if I was in the middle of a bustling metropolis. Once I blinked the light away, I saw all of the people around me… or what seemed to be people. They definitely weren't human; all of them had the same bodily features that I had found on my body before I first lost consciousness.
"He's awake!" One of the smaller ones shouted out as I began to examine all of the beings around me.
There must have been at least a congregation of at least twenty different people. They all had different fur colorations ranging from yellow to dark purple.
"Where am I?" I asked the group.
The group reacted as if a bomb had gone off. They started conversing feverishly in small groups. I could only make out small parts of what they were saying.
"How does it speak our tongue?"
"His kind shouldn't be here."
"We should send him back from where he came, before he causes any more commotion."
"Can anyone tell me why I'm here?" I said looking for an answer from someone in crowd. They seemed to have completely ignored me, because of their obsession with their incessant bickering. "Hello?" Still nothing. Just when I was about to give up another person made their way through the crowd.
"Don't worry they're just suspicious." He said.
"Why would they be suspicious? I'm tied up and I can't do anything but talk." I said quickly.
"I'll explain later, can I trust you enough to walk?"
"Well, there's not much I do, it's not like I can just runaway, I don't even know where I am!"
"Hehe, you are in Zasinia, you'll be just fine." He said while he undid my bonds.
"Where exactly is Zasinia?" I said bringing myself up to my full height.
"That's a story for another time. My name is Knoax by the way."
"I'm Vulpe, and thanks" I said while rubbing my wrists where the bonds had been…
