YES! I have indeed started another story! Please R&R if you like it!
Just outside of a town in the middle of the Rockies was a forest. The forest was dense, and home to many strange creatures, most humanoid creatures reside in the town itself, in fact, most of the town's population consisted of these humanoid creatures. This town was called Fantasy peak.
As time went by, more and more of the creatures left the forest to live in the town. Few remained in the forest. However, one young neko remained, and ventured the forest alone. This neko's name was Ivi. She was a gentle soul, caring for the injured creatures with her parents in a hut, before the humans allowed them into the town. But once the creatures started residing in the town, including her parents, Ivi decided to stay in the forest, leaving her gentle character behind and became solitaire. It was a difficult change, but Ivi soon became an excellent gatherer, and sometimes still helped injured creatures, most oftenly herox with a broken wing. She was much more blunt about it though, not as gentle or patient as she used to be.
Days were often the same. Wake up, eat, gather, deal with some problem or another, sleep. This routine was often repeated throughout the day. This day was the same as any other. She awoke to leaves rustling, sunlight filtering through the leaves overhead, birdsong echoing off the trees and boulders that scatter the forest. mice flurry away as she stifled a sneeze. A mouse was right under her nose. Literally. It's whiskers were tickling her face as she slept in the gentle sunlight. Quick as a flash, Ivi snatched up a mouse, then another, and another. She caught a total of four mice. "Stupid norms. Thinking they can do what they want, because they've been here longer than us."she cursed. She dug into one right away, tearing every morsel off the bones. Tossing the bones away, she started for the hut.
The hut was worn down and abandoned, but still rather intact. It was weather resistant, deflecting most precipitation, and it was hidden enough that scavengers won't find the food stashed inside. Walking in, Ivi tossed the remaining mice on a pile of prey. One rabbit, some voles, and the three mice were all she had. Stalking to the back of the room, Ivi dug through a pile of plants. Digging out some leaves, berries and a root. She then snatched a pot from the wall, walking out of the hut, she grabbed a handful of dried grass from a pile a few minutes away. Dropping them onto a pile of ashes and charcoal surrounded by stones, she started a fire. Dipping the pot in a nearby stream, she filled it with water. Flicking her arm, Ivi snatched a squirrel out from the bush. Tearing it apart, she put chunks of squirrel in the water, along with some bones. Dropping leaves in the pot-mint, rosemary, and thyme-she set the pot in the fire and let it sit.
Leaning back to stretch, Ivi's ears twitched at rustling in the bush beside her. She whipped around, tail lashing, staring face to face with a pegasus. Ivi's eyes widened.
Pegasi were rare, most of them shot down trying to get in the town, survivors hid in the denser parts of the forest. The pegasus gave her a curt nod, then turned and left. Ivi squinted after it. Something felt odd about the pegasus, she knew it. She just didn't know what. Turning back to her soup, she almost jumped in surprise.
A whole group of the pegasi were surrounding her.
It was on this moment that Ivi knew what was off about the pegasi. They had dragon's wings, along with reptilian eyes, which were, quite oddly, red. All of them were gray, with black manes and tails, and their muzzles were a darker colour. Some were purple, some were blue. The lead pegasus stepped forward, killing the fire and crushing the pot, soup spilling everywhere. "Ivillia Harissa Fanni, you are illegally residing in the Dark Forest. Leave now or be arrested." he bellowed.
Ivi got up, bowed, and ran deeper in the forest, trying to make it to the area outside, and escape. She dared look behind her, and shrieked when she saw the cursed pegasi gaining on her. Herox joined, and Ivi noticed they were cursed counterparts too. they are gray, too, with darker gray tail tip and wings. They also have a green aura coming from their eyes. It's an awfully odd sight, Ivi has never seen anything like it. Their man-made! The realization hit like a blow to stomach. Ivi had to escape. "Humans will never get me! I will not live in their stupid town!" she screeched. She kept running, dodging trees and jumping streams. Just to stay away from these man-made freaks.
"You're man-made too, remember? That was the original purpose of this forest, was to dispose of these scientific freaks! Including your ancestors!" a herox yowled. Their mind readers too? Great, Ivi groaned inwardly. making a sharp turn, Ivi came upon a tall fence. It was barbed wire that was charged. You touch it, you're dead. It was then that Ivi felt a sharp pain in her rear end, and the ground rushed up to meet her.
Blackness then engulfed her as Ivi fell into a drugged sleep.
So? What do you think? R&R if you like it! Heroxand cursed herox belong to me and are a closed species.
