2000: An Alegeharian Novel.
The Modern Era Chp. 1 A New Start.
After some time in Alegeharia Lego pushed on knowing this place would be secure enough to make the jump into a more recent time. The Wereshep was 32 and wanted nothing more than to get home to see his father finally. Alecia and their 6-year-old cub Lican were helping Lego pack items to get ready for their departure.
"Know Valen I'm entrusting you with the kingdom for uh technically 10 seconds, when we arrive have Zenith meet us granted the device accounts for drift and what not. However, I just want to-" The owl cut off Lego with an embrace. Valen knew lego since he was just cub.
The old 60-year-old owl was tasked with teaching lego to be an assassin, a king, and overall a person of hope and kindness to make sure the time stream would be intact ever since the dispute in heaven. The owl was proud but sad knowing this would be the last time he would ever see the Wereshep. In all his life the last 26 years was the best, the adventures they went through; the trials and challenges, and finally the peace the last 5 years had. Indeed, the owl was happy with the way things turned out.
"Uhh... y-yeah..." Lego was caught off guard by the sudden hug but took and held tight but gentle as to not injure the only father figure he knew. Parting ways Valen was going to be hard but necessary in order to keep things proper. Lican and Alecia were almost done packing getting aboard a rather simple box like shape with some consoles and a door. The device wasn't overly complex just enough to do what they needed to do. Lego sighed getting ready heading into the castle. The Wereshep had a few things to do before he could leave.
At the castles throne room Lego had built a vault under the chair to save his weapons an armor. Pushing away the "immovable" throne chair Lego flicked his wrist exposing the clean but somewhat worn hidden blade clicking it into the locks opening the vault. In the Vault were a few groves indicating where to place things and a slit at the bottom meant for a sword.
The Wereshep placed his crossbow into the vault where the groove was followed by sword into a slit pushing it in to secure as a stand for his armored chest piece. After that he placed the swords sheath then the dagger onto the other grooves. Lego then looked at the boots he was wearing and having to forego them as well in order to blend in well enough with what the people of "future" his own "past".
Finally undressed to a point that was satisfying, Lego was still wearing the red robe with the arm pieces still on him including the hidden blades and black pants headed back to Alecia and Lican. "From here we can't reveal our ages nor time of birth. Now I had passports made being king and all; these will be official when we get there but for now just keep them close." Lego closed the door to the "box" started inputting the co-ordinates to the desired place, then plugged in the time to go to.
With that Lego hit the button to start the machine. He thought it would be a smooth ride from here on out. Unfortunately, things just don't work out like that. At first, the machine started out fine; everything was normal and with acceptable parameters for the machine to work. But during the "flight" to the future Lego noticed himself to get smaller till he was around the height of 4 feet and 3 inches. The Wereshep felt a shudder and saw a bright flash light before he could react and try to grab the attention of Alecia and Lican.
After a few hours passed The Wereshep stuttered a wake to bustling movement and noses. He was in a mall separated from his wife and son, the tiny shep rolled around finding himself in a clothing store grabbing the nearest clothes that would fit him. The Wereshep still disoriented got up putting on the clothes.
The jacket he grabbed was a sleeveless hoody that was red with Turquoise sidings and zipper lining. The Wereshep shrugged glad it would work with arm pieces. The pants he grabbed were made for digi-trade legs thankfully as he slid them on. The cargo pants were camo-ed with green brown black and a tannish color making for a cool effect in Lego's mind.
Lego then looked in the quickly turning around to only turn back again staring straight into the mirror. He appeared to look like that of an 8-year-old with his height and clothes. Lego sighed and cursed himself and headed out of store then jumped into the air hearing alarms go off around him finding himself surrounded by wolves in blue outfits.
At the center was a dark gray with a lighter gray look similar to Lego with flashing eyes. The fur was a Wereshep to Legos surprise; to make things even more of a surprise the fur appearance was similar in height and shape to Lego.
"L-Lego is that you?! Its ok guys let this one go!" The Wereshep in the center was surprised but trying to restore order. "Sorry about where's Alecia and Lican?"
"I uh wait! Wait... Who are you?!" Lego was ready to attack having his main hand behind him and left arm at his side keeping his frame at a relaxed pose ready to attack if need be.
"Oh it's me Zenith! You're probably wondering why I'm small like this aren't ya? Well, it's a long story but to make things easier Some magic during your travel and everyone shrunk to ages that made us practically cubs. Except in Valens case he-" Zenith was cut off by a pouncing ball of fur.
"Valens alive?! What do you mean he's alive?" Lego had many questions forming in his mind already but hearing about Valens status was more pertinent to him.
"E-easy my cubby king." Zenith was in shock and had the wind knocked right out of him. "Valen isn't cub like us, he was reverted back to age of 34. We don't know why but we've been working on trying to figure out what happened since you left."
"Where in Alegeharia am I and what is this place?" Lego slid off the other Wereshep and tried to regain his composure getting back onto his feet.
"We somewhat moved to a modern system of politics not worry though, your still head of our country. The place we are in is not too far from the castle this is one of our big malls in Ichla'eon. Ichla'eon is the new capital city of Alegeharia. Let's get you to the hmm... actually..." The sheps ears perked at the static on zeniths radio.
"Zen... what's happening?" Lego could tell that the place he came back to was no longer one of peace.
"Well..." Zenith sighed then grabbed Lego by the Gauntlet dragging him to ta more secluded side of the mall. "It seems like Valen lost his memory during his age change. He doesn't remember you very.... well to be frank he almost has no memory of you. He's been leading this place for a long time so it was getting to him and he finally snapped."
"Snapped? What do you mean snapped?" Lego looked around trying to understand the situation.
"Snapped he believes that the cubs need less freedom since the majority of are cubs and that retained our minds we think otherwise! There's a bit of a civil war going on. I'm taking to your daddy in this dimension. His name is jack he will fill you in on the rest. Just hid your markings as best you can. Because I'm white furred he didn't try anything with me but he has been cub napping gshep's that look like you."
"Like me?" Lego was confused.
"To stave off insanity."
