Posted: Sat Nov 24, 2007 10:21 am Post subject: Tarenis: Masters Of The Old Magic
This is a story I have been working on in between some of my non-furry work. But recently it is mostly all of what I'm working on...
Sorry ahead of time for any errors that might be in this story, and for my lack of a description of people and the environment, I have a real problem when it comes to that.
This story takes place in the year 2011, and in this human world, and not much has changed in the world, but suddenly the life of one man, Jake McLiren, changes forever, and now he races against the clock to stop the release of an ancient evil that threatens to destroy all of mankind and bring into this world a new apocalypse.
(Tar-N-iss)
Tarenis Masters of The Old Magic
Prolog
I don’t claim to be a prophet and I don’t claim to know the future, all I claim is that I can use the past to see how the future might unfold. As I look deep into the past there is one legend that reviles to me the future of mankind, it is the legend of Atlantis. You see the story tells of a grate people who abused their knowledge and destroyed themselves in a grate cataclysm. Most read this story and see a past that might never have been, I read it and see a past present and future for all of mankind, this is one of many possible roots that the human race might take to lead to the very same outcome.
As mankind advances in technology they will find that the universe has a single frequency of energy one that engulfs all things, and they soon learn that this frequency can be manipulated through a high level of thought, but the level of though required will be to high for any human to accomplish, so the experiments will be canceled and the science will be abandoned.
One hundred and twelve years will pass from that discovery and the world will be in turmoil, a new plague that man will call HKV No.666 will ravage all of mankind and they will fall to numbers below one third of the present population. As the world shutters in fear one man will come fourth and offer the cure, he will find an antibody found in all animals other then the humans that prevents the disease from reaching its fatal stage. The only set back to this antibody will be that in order for it to be affective there has to be certain genetic markers that are only found within the animal it inhabits.
Mankind will make the grave choice to shed their own human buddies and take on the forms of the animals that bear the antibody that would save them. And for a time all will be well and the new mankind will start to rebuild and become grater and stronger then ever before, with there new bodies will come new minds and a higher level of thought and intelligence. Soon the old science that was lost will be reborn and man will call it Tarenis and it will become the center of their civilization. The government will become a republic in which the leaders will be chosen by their ability to control Tarenis.
After another one hundred and fifty-six years yet another tragedy will strike the earth, the plague that man thought they had destroyed will return this time it will be more deadly and destructive then it had ever been. Man will be decimated down to only a city full. Led by one they will call Ra they become a new people, and they will take the name Lantien after the survivors of the ancient city. Leaving the earth the last remaining earthlings will find a new world and it will be known as Teraferma.
Years will pass and a new world will be born and man will be born onto their old form once again. The Lantiens will feel a jalousie of the new humans and try to destroy them. But, one Lantien will make a stand and stop the others, using his power of Tarenis he will sink the home of the Lantiens and destroy the last legacy of earth.
Though this is a grave future for mankind there is yet still hope, you see the humans that come to become the targets of the Lantiens hatred will become a new seed to this world. As it has happened many times before, life will reunite into the cycle that is the universe.
Now this story comes with a message, though time has repeated many times before, it is not set in stone, even the slightest choice can move the destiny of thousands, or keep one life from ending. Live your life, listen to your soul and always remember: Tarenis is with you always.
Chapter 1
It was a dark Alaskan morning, and as usual I was lazily asleep in my bed, I had always figured if it was still dark outside (witch it was most of the time out here,) I could still get a few more hours of sleep before going to work. As I lay there asleep I was dreaming about my up-and-coming day, you see today was the day I finally got a package I had been waiting for. It had been about five months, and I had been anxious to get it the entire time. You see, I’m what is called a Furry and the package was my brand new fursuit. (Quite a nice looking dog.)
Sadly I never got a chance to try it on… because you see, this is the day that my life, and the lives of seven others, would change forever.
As I groggily opened my eyes to the blackness that was the morning, I knew something was not right, I just, didn’t know what. I sat up and looked around the room (for what? I don’t know, it was too dark to see anything, so I guess it was just instinct.) Something just wasn’t right, it was to worm in my room, almost like someone had raped me in a thick blanket.
I got up and stumbled around the room for a minuet trying to find the light switch. It was around then that I knew something was seriously wrong, it felt like I was dragging something behind me, and my balance seemed way off because of it. When I finally got to the light I was frustrated to find that the bulb was dead, realizing that I had to use the bathroom I opened my door and went across the hall. When I got inside the bathroom I closed the door right behind me, as I do every morning, only to have a sharp pain that seemed to come from the door, blast through my body. I instantly pulled myself away from the door and turned on the lights.
I was not prepared for what I saw… Right there in the center of my view was a large yellowish orange mussel with a large black nose at the end. In a moment of hesitation I turned to look into the mirror only to see a sad looking yellow dog with red spots around his right eye, covering his right ear, and two smaller ones on the lower right side of his chin and over his left eye. The dog also seemed to have long black hair that covered most of the back of his head.
“OH MY GOD!! I’ve become my fursona!” I said loudly. It was true, the dog that was looking me right in the face right now was the very same dog I had been using to identify myself over the Internet, and the very same one that I had a fursuit made to resemble.
But enough about me, I’m only one eighth of this story, lets now go a little further south to the large and yet beautiful city of Portland Oregon, where, a young boy is now crying for his mother because of what he thought was a bad dream.
“MOOOMMY!!!!!!” The boy cried from under his blankets.
“What honey? What’s that matter?” His mother said as she came into the room.
“I hade a bad dream, I got up to use the bathroom and looked into the mirror, and there was a monster there looking at me!” The boy said refusing to come out from under his covers.
“Oh Jonathan, you know there are no such thing as monsters, that’s just silly.” His mother said trying to convince him to come out from under his blankets, he refused, “Ok tell you what why don’t you tell me what the monster looked like and I’ll tell you what he was, Ok?”
“Ok,” Jonathan began, “He had red fur covering his entire body excepted for some black fur on his ears and hands, he had a long nose with white fur all around it, and he had a long fluffy tail with a white tip on it.” He finished.
“Why Jonathan that doesn’t sound like a monster,” She said with a smile, “That sounds like a friendly old Fox, nothing to be afraid of.”
“Really?” Jonathan said as he loosened his grip on the blankets.
“Really,” His mother said standing up, “now why don’t you come out from under those blankets and come on down for breakfast.”
“Okay mommy.” He said as he removed the blankest and stood up… At witch point his mother screamed and fell with a thud on to the ground.
Chapter 2
“OMG!!! U guys gota see dis!!!” I typed as I began to upload the newly taken Photo of my new face.
‘Man they’re going to love this!’ I thought to myself as the photo came up and I sent the E-mail to my Yahoo Group, ‘Wonder what I’m going to do now?’
As I sat there waiting for a reply I realized I couldn’t go outside or ells someone might freak out, so I just sat there pondering what to do next. Suddenly there was a loud nock at the door, “Hay! Jake, Why aren’t you out at the drill the boss is going to be pissed as hell in winter if you don’t get your ass down there A.S.A.P.!!” It was my best friend and fellow fur Donny.
“Sorry Donny but I don’t think I’m going to be able to get into work today!” I yelled through the door.
“And why would that be Jake? It don’t sound like your sick or nuthin!” He reapplied.
“Well I’m not really sick…” I said wondering if I should tell him or just wait for him to get the E-mail.
“Then what the fuck is keeping you away from work?!?” He yelled jiggling my doorknob.
“Well…” I got up and opened the door, “This.”
What happened next I didn’t expect, but we will get back to that later for now let’s return to little Jonathan and his now fully conscious mother.
“Jonathan what happened to you?” Jonathan's mother said looking at her now anthropomorphic son.
“I don’t know mommy I just woke up like this…” Jonathan said looking down at the ground almost reedy to cry.
“Oh, Honey don’t do that you didn’t do anything wrong,” she said grabbing and holding her sons hand, (or paw depending on how you look at it.) “We just need to get you to the doctor and they will make you all better.”
At this point she began to dress Jonathan as best as she could. (Most pants in a five year olds closet don’t really have tail holes) After he was fully dressed they went out to the car and started off to the Emergency Room. Halfway there Jonathan popped his head up in to the front of the car, “Honey pleas keep down somebody might see you and get scared.” His mother said as she motioned him to sit back down.
“But Mom there is a big black car following us,” he said pointing out the back window, “and I think the man driving is looking at me.”
“Oh don’t be silly nobud…” His Mom started as she turned around to see what her son was talking about. And right there following them was an unmarked black jeep. The driver was in full military uniform. She quickly turned her head back to the front of the road only to see another jeep puling in right in front of her. Now frantic she tried to pull around the jeep in front only to be blocked in by yet another in the lane next to them.
After a wile the jeeps began to slow down and move towards the side of the road, taking Jonathan and his mother with them. When they all finally came to a stop the passengers of the jeeps got out and approached the car, “Jonathan get down and stay hidden.” His mom said.
Suddenly there was a small bang as one of the men broke the glass of the cars back window and tossed a smoke grenade into the car, a moment later the back door was smashed opened and one of the men took Jonathan and moved away.
Realizing this Jonathans Mother quickly jumped out of the car to stop the man, but was stopped and held by two others, “What are you doing!? He is taking my son! Let me go!”
Suddenly one of the men spoke in a loud and clear voice, “I’m sorry to tell you this ma’m, but your son is now in the custody of the U.S. Armed Forces.”
Now you think that sucks? Wait till you her what happened to me. You see I opened the door hoping to tell my friend about my new look, only to see a stun gun aimed at me. I later woke up in a place I hope I’ll never see again…
Chapter 3
I don’t know how long it was before I awoke, but it seamed like forever. As I came to my senses I cold hear voices talking, along with what sounded like a kid crying.
“What the hell is going on here? Why the hell is the government doing this?” Said a very feminine voice.
“Why the hell are you asking me, I know just as much as you and the others.” Another, deeper, voice replied.
“Why don’t you both stuff it! And will someone shut that kid up!” said A very angry voice coming from somewhere above me.
“Hay just because you look like a bear doesn’t mean you have to act like one!” The feminine voice said.
“Oh, so we’re getting into species now are we? Because from here all I see is a Bitch Mutt!” yelled the angry voice, as the kid cried louder and louder.
“Okay that’s it I’m going to shut you up once an…” The feminine voice started to say before I finally tried to get up, and another feminine voice with what sounded like a southern accent, coming from just below where my feet where, interrupted her.
“Hay the other dog’s wakin’ up!” she said as I tried to get into an upright position.
“What the fuck is going on here?” I said drowsily, as I opened my eyes to see where I was and who was talking. I could see that I was laying on one four sets of bunk beds in a small room with what looked like thick cement walls and a large steal door in one of the corners. As I started to focus on where the voices that I had heard where coming from, I could see that the first feminine voice I had heard was coming from a tall female dog with long black hair and an almost calico fur, as for the deep voice, it was coming from what seemed to be a small mouse with gray fur (that gave me quite a shock), and the last voice in my sight rang was the second female voice that came from near my feet, she was a beautiful white tiger with gray, almost blue, stripes on her face and down her neck.
“Welcome back to the land of the living,” The tiger said as she moved closer to my head, ”name’s Sera, what’s yours?”
“My name’s Jake, and you didn’t answer my question, what’s going on here?” I answered as I swung my feet to the floor.
“We don’t know,” the female dog started, “we all just woke up hear after a small encounter with the army. My names Kate by the way.” She put her hand out to help me up, and I took it.
“The Army? Is that who did this? Last thing I remember was opening my front door for my friend and getting shot with a stun gun.” As I spoke I turned around to see the bear that was sitting on the top bunk of the bed I was just laying on. He was in fact, a bear, a very large, very black, black bear (kind of scary if you ask me but that was the least of my worries at the time).
“Hmpf… A stun gun? Damn you got it lucky, they had to fucking pump me full of tranke darts after I almost killed three of them.” He said smiling, “oh and my name’s Kevin by the way.”
“Nice to meat you,” I reached up and shook his hand, “How many people are here?” I had just noticed that there where a lot more people in the room then I had first thought.
“Last I counted there where eight of us,” Sera Said as she looked around the room, “That’s including you, they just dragged your sorry ass in here ‘round ten minutes ago.” She said turning to look back at me.
I studded the room, Sera was right, there they where eight anthropomorphic people, all sitting in different parts of the room. “They’re all furries.” I said with a confused look on my face.
Kate turned back to look at me, “what’s a furry?” She asked.
“I don’t think any of us are furries Jake,” Kevin interrupted as he hang his feet over the edge of the bunk, “and Kate a furry is a type of gay guy who likes to run around in animal costumes and fuck dogs.” A small laugh quickly followed.
I was a bit angry at this point (I hate fur haters…) “Hay not all furries are gay, and I’m pretty sure that very few practice bestiality.” (Hmm… I wonder if it counts as bestiality if you’re an anthro dog?)
Kevin started to look at me with almost disgust. “How the hell do you know so much about furries?”
At this point I figured it would be better to just come clean then to start some tension with my new ‘cellmates’, “well, if you must know, I am a furry… Or at least I was, before this happened.” I said with a shrug. Almost the moment I stopped talking Kevin lifted his feet back onto the bed and turned to faced the wall. (I don’t think he talked for the rest of that night, or at least, I think it was night…)
“Ass hole.” Sera said as she turned back to face me, “So dose you being a furry make you gay or somethin’?” She said rubbing my arm, (And I think I heard her purring,) “’cause that would just be a shame.”
I smiled, as I looked her over, “well I did say not ‘all’ furries where gay. But I am a big fan of cats.” (Oh my god, I have no clue what I was thinking at the time. I mean we where being imprisoned by the Army and I was thinking of getting lucky with a tiger woman… Okay, I know exactly what I was thinking, but still…)
Little did we all know, wile all of us where getting to know each other so was a very strange general watching from a near by room…
Chapter 4
The room was dark and General Gorge E. Delren was just coming in for the guard’s report on the new “prisoners”.
“Johnson, how are our gests doing?” Asked the general as walked up behind the guard’s chair and looked at the view screen.
“From what I can tell you Ser they’re doing fine,” replied Johnson, “but it seams that the yellow canine is attracted to the white tiger.”
Delren looked down at Johnson, “I really don’t care about their attractions Johnson, I just wont to know if the seven of them will be ready to be moved when we find the temple.” For a secant Johnson stared at the view screen then looked back at the general. “What is it Johnson?” Asked the general.
“Umm, you just said seven, there are eight of them.” Answered Johnson as he pointed towards the screen.
“Eight?!? But that’s impossible the prophecy only spoke of se-,” Delren looked at the screen and counted, “Well I’ll be damned, one of these mother fuckers shouldn’t exist. I think I’m going to go have a chat with them and find out who in there doesn’t belong.”
“Do you think that’s wise ser? I mean look at them, they could rip you to pieces!” Johnson said as Delren started to walk out the door.
“Oh, don’t worry about me Johnson,” Delren said as he lifted his right hand up to revile it quickly turning into a long black paw with sharp claws at the end of each finger, “you should know that better then anybody.” And with that he walked out the door and closed it tightly behind him.
The halls seamed longer then usual as Delren moved through them and thought to himself. ‘How could this happen? The Prophecy only spoke of seven, how could there be eight? Hmm, well not even the best prophecy is one hundred percent accurate, but this was written from the past not the future it should have historical accuracy! All I hope is that this doesn’t alter my masters plans for these, Lantiens.’
He soon reached the door to the room where we where being held, “Open it.” He said to the guard at the door. A moment later the door was open and Delren walked in.
It must have been an almost pitiful sight, Kevin was fake sleeping up on his bunk, Kate was on the bunk furthest from the door talking to herself (I think she was trying to think of a way out,) The kid had calmed down and was curled up in a corner sleeping, (still silently sobbing,) I was sitting on the bunk I had woken up on, talking with Sara, as for the other three they were up next to the door talking. As soon as Delren opened the door almost all of us (the kid and Kevin still laid in the same places and didn’t move,) snapped to attention to see who was coming in.
Delren looked around the room. “Hmm, I see I have a captive audience… Well I guess you ‘things’ don’t have much of a sense of humor. Doesn’t matter anyway I’m going to ask you all some questions and you are going to give me answers. First off, what are your names? Lets start with you, the yellow dog.” I didn’t answer him, “Hmm, you’d better answer me now or you might find your self alone in a box! Now, be a good dog and tell me your name!”
I hesitated for a secant but then realized that this son of a bitch meant biasness, so I answered him, “My name is Jacob Levin McLiren.” I said grinding my teeth.
Delren gave me a sinister smile. “Now was that so hard Jake? My names General E. Delren, it’s nice to meet you.” Delren the walked over to the three others, “Now you, Rat, what’s your name.”
The mouse looked up at him and smiled, “Ok, my name is James, James Bond.” The mouse then turned back around and started to laugh.
“Oh, ha ho, haw funny,” Delren pulled his arm back and swung it as hard as he could into the mouse’s head, the mouse flew about a foot and slammed into the concrete wall with tremendous force, “I will only ask you this one last time Rat! What is your name?!”
Delren didn’t get much trouble from anyone else after that. The mouse’s name was Devin Kenderman, a tabby cat that had been very quiet the hole time I was there was named Tom Dicks, (I struggled to suppress the laughter from the two puns that name had with him,) and the last guy he asked was a black wolf named Jim Butler.
“Good, now all that’s left to do is ask the bear and that baby fox.” Delren started towards the kid in the corner. Suddenly there was a loud blast and the room started to shake, “What the fuck?” Delren yelled, “Guard! What was that?”
“C.S. says we’re under attack! They think it’s the Morph Alliance!” The guard yelled back through the door.
“Gods damn it! They’re here for the Lantiens!” Delren ran out the door, “Lock this behind me and don’t let anyone but me in!” The guard then slammed the door closed and locked it tightly.
The End, For now.
More to come as I write it.
Pleas feel free to say it sucks or tell me every thing that is wrong with it, or anything that needs fixing.
