Legends of the Terralands

Episode 5

"Welcome to Furtropolis! It's a wonderful community I used to live in." Cyan was ecstatic for some reason, but suddenly, his expression started to change into fear. "Well, "used" because at the time, I was in a relationship with one of the furries." Cyan felt a little nervous, his voice started stuttering" He… well… he's changed…" I couldn't understand what he meant by that, but then, a sudden voice from nowhere yelled at us. "Hello Cyan." A yellow humanoid wolf with a furry blue belly, mane, and ears approached us, with a dark grey humanoid dog with red stripes, threatening horns, and eyes so naturally dark that he might be wearing sunglasses standing right behind him, holding his hand.

I remembered the face of the wolf, but forgot his name. I had no choice but to simply ask him. "You jackass, you don't remember me?" The wolf exclaimed in disappointment. For what seemed like a second for me to realize was a memory longing to last forever.

The wolf's name was Tempest Okami. He was once a great friend of mine and is a great spark engineer, he loved to build the greatest of contraptions that could make his life easier. Back then, we worked together creating many interesting inventions. Sadly, he did most of the work, and I simply planned it. Our friendship slowly began to fade as my decisions and ideas were becoming great stress and agony to him. Then, one day, he snapped. He left me, never wanting to see me again for a long time. That was 3 years ago, apparently, he was in a relationship with Cyan, broke up with him at some point, and then started dating the hellhound… I could've asked, but I held back my thought and came back to remembering. I quickly called the calm wolf by his name, with his hellhound partner giving a quiet growl towards me.

The four of us sat down at a local cafe in Furtropolis. The cafe's environment felt like pets taking care of themselves. Dogs and cats had fire hydrants and litter boxes with curtains for bathrooms, as well as normal human bathrooms for other animals. There were bottles of water, and exotic drinks for everyone. Me and Tempest had gotten our updates on life, and Tempest explained what happened between him and Cyan.

4 years ago, Cyan and Tempest lived on Earth together as a couple. But at some point after leaving me, Tempest moved to Furtropolis, with Cyan following behind. The two have been looking really intimate, but secretly, they started to drift away. Tempest eventually pulled the plug, but couldn't break Cyan's soft heart, leaving them to be together a little longer, but things got stale really fast. Tempest pulled the plug for good, and the two went their separate ways. Cyan moved back to Earth's Terralands, never to contact Tempest again.

"Yeah, those things happened, but I'm more than attached to my Ketsu now." Tempest said. I couldn't bothered to figure out what kept their relationship strong, but at least he had a comfortable expression on his face. Ketsu didn't talk that much, Tempest explained that Ketsu isn't exactly the most friendly hellhound in existence. He talks more when him and Tempest are alone, than when he's out in public, he doesn't have a very positive opinion on the world around him, except for Tempest, who he loves to no extent.

I was beginning to wonder why this world seemed so "treasurous", It was a furry utopia! But why did it seem dangerous? I couldn't bear to ask, but instead, I decided that we needed to head home. I asked Tempest if there was a way to contact him. Tempest was going to show me the "PM" but Cyan intervened and told him that I knew it already. So Tempest instead gave me his contact and then led us to the exit portal, he gave his farewells and we headed home.

Me and Cyan warped to my home for a little quick dinner and chat, and soon, he warped back to his home. In bed, I wondered what could be hidden within Furtropolis that made it such a struggle to get in. Nothing came to mind.

Yet… Maybe… Tomorrow could be different...
