A story of power and heroes.


Chapter 1

Tamijah strides through the halls of his school, his long Draconic tail swishing side to side behind him. The effeminate Dragon is dressed in a simple hoodie with jeans. No shoes as any that he had he found always cramped up his feet. He has his hands shoved into the front pouch of the Hoodie, and the Hood drawn up over his head. The Dragon has no wings to speak of, and has small scales that are smooth to the touch. He has an interesting two tone coloring. On the outside portions of his body they are purple while down the center he is cream colored. The Jeans he is wearing accentuates his wide hips and thick ass. All in all the Male is not a twig but built thicc and curvy. Most Males could only ever dream about a girl like that. And there he is. It drove Tamijah nuts. When he was younger he was called a Bitch Dragon and mercilessly made fun of in the earlier grades. So he ghosts through the hallways, trying his best to blend in. He didn't want anyone to notice him at all.

He finds a seat in the back of the classroom, first period, home room. Where he just sat and waited for the period to be over to go to the next class. School is uneventful until lunch, where he makes sure he is at the very back of the line. He can already feel eyes on him. He didn't care what the reason that he is being looked at for. But the fact he can feel those eyes, well it makes his stomach turn. He gives a nervous sidelong glance to a particular round table where most the Jocks were sitting. Three of them are openly ogling him. Did they want to beat him up? Make fun of him? He proceeds along the line, wishing it would hurry up. Once he is he picks his food out, and takes the tray to a more secluded hallway with a room that is abandoned. There, he eats his hamburger in silence, pushing the salad and veggie trappings on the burger to one side. It wasn't the best meal, but at least it fills the hole in his stomach. He scoops up his tray and empty bottle of water and returns them back to the lunch room. With that done he returns to his next class, gym. Oh how he loathes Gym class. The gym shorts he has to wear shows off his ass even more than his jeans do. He makes his way down a few sets of stairs and into the Boys locker rooms. In there all around him are the Jocks getting ready. He shoulders his backpack closer to himself and finds a secluded area of the locker rooms and begins to change into his white t-shirt and blue shorts. Fortunately he is left alone the entire time as the Jocks were too busy talking rowdily amongst themselves. Sure, a few times his name came up but he could never hear what they were saying about him. He fully dressed himself and meanders onto the gym floor where the coach, a short but tough looking Fennec Fox paces waiting for the students. And they were all there, all lined up.

"Alright kids, today we're going to be doing archery. I have the targets all setup in the gym."

Coach motions one hand over to all the targets.

"I want you all to line up at each station, take three shots then go to the back of the line. But first we'll be doing our exercises. Everyone space out."

Coach blows his whistle.

Like clock work all the students space out to give each other enough room to work. And for some reason Tamijah ended up at the front. He sighs and looks back, noticing a few of the jocks and other students staring at his ass. Why would males be staring at him like that? He is a Male. It confuses him. The Dragon is yet innocent in the ways of intimacy and love. So his viewpoints were not tainted with the heat of lust yet. He could not help that the exercises made him show off his ass even more than he wanted to. And when they were over he could not help but feel a bit more at ease.

The line up for Archery begins. And Tamijah is actually rather good at it. As his Father takes him out to the range every Sunday when he goes to target. Tamijah once got bored and rented a Bow and shot arrows into the targets with much ease. Landing bulls eyes with every shot. Now he enjoys it and every so often goes bow hunting with his Father. So at least he finally gets a chance to shine in front of his classmates. When it is his turn he picks up the bow, feels the weight of it. Easily he nocks an arrow and draws it back. Perfect form. He lets the arrow fly and it strikes the bull's eye. The next two shots land the same. Everyone in the room watches. He sets the bow down and the arrows to the side in their proper spot. Everyone claps, and for the first time in a long time he feels like he is wanted. So the rest of Gym class he impresses with trick shots and quick firing. Everyone loves it. And it just so happens that the head of the Archery club was watching from one of the door ways. He is a smallish Canine, a German Shepard built with a frame made for agility instead of toughness. He smiles and quickly turns away to start the needed paperwork. He wants that Dragon at his club.

By the time school is out, Tamijah is heading out the front door when the German Shepherd catches up to him. Tamijah picks up pace but the Male does not let off. He sighs and stops turning around. The oddly smaller male plows into Tamijah. Tamijah stumbles a few steps back but keeps on his feet.

"What!?"

Tamijah cries out. He stands, ready to square off if need be.

The German Shepherd takes a few steps back. Eyes having gone wide. They both stare at each other.

"I-I just wanted to see if you would like to join the Archery Club."

His eyes are hopeful now.

Tamijah bites his bottom lip and turns, continuing on his way home. The German Shepherd keeps up with him, taking Tamijah's right side.

"I don't know... I just really want to go home."

Tamijah's voice is shakey.

The German Shepherd looks up at Tamijah.

"Okay, well here. If you come to a decision, you can discord me here. If you do decide to do it. Fill out this paper here. And uh I'm Yenn by the way."

Yenn sounded defeated but still somewhat hopeful.

Yenn stops walking with Tamijah and watches him go before turning back to the school.

Tamijah looks at the paper he took, mulling over it. Could it be something he could do without being hurt so much? Deep in the back of his mind he wants to join. He would need to do some thinking after he did his homework.

Sitting on his bed, looking out the window at the street below with the paper in his left hand, and his laptop on his bed to his right. He is giving the idea some serious consideration. If he decides to do this, then maybe he could finally get some positive recognition. And maybe a little bit of popularity. That last one made his breath catch. He wasn't the type to even want that. He would just revel in the chance to meet those who could possibly challenge him in Archery. Afterall, isn't that what was most important?

He nods to himself, that is what it is about. So he settles back against the wall and places his Laptop on his thighs and pulls up Discord. He adds Yenn as a friend and tells him he wants to join. They spend the rest of the evening talking back and forth. He is to attend the meet after school. He would not need to have a skill test as Yenn saw how good Tamijah is. First day of school. Things are already starting to turn out interesting. Tamijah finally crawls into bed by ten in the evening.

Tamijah once more rises with the sun. He takes a shower, eats breakfast and bids his Father a good day. His Mother is already at work. He heads out the door grabbing his backpack which is by the door, on the way out. He shoulders it and heads off to school.

He inhales deeply of the fresh autumn air. His feet crunching leaves beneath them as he walks. Always a fan of Autumn he soaks in the atmosphere. And more than anything, it feels festive. Halloween is coming soon and the thought excites him. Even if he didn't trick or treat anymore he still liked to go visit the haunted houses that opened up three weeks into October. Oh, and the mazes, the apple bobbing and other various October games. He finds himself at the steps of school. Time to repress fun and die a little on the inside.

As he climbs the steps Yenn joins him. Tamijah jumps a little not expecting it. Yet he finds himself not minding the company of the German Shepherd. He didn't leer at his butt or make dumb embarassing comments. Today, Tamijah is wearing a black hoodie, with the hood up and another pair of jeans the same color as the ones yesterday. As usual and annoyingly, the Jeans display his ass rather prominently. He is surprised Yenn never looks. But he is also happy he hasn't looked. So they walk to the next class together where oddly Yenn is in the same home room as him. He sits next to Yenn and they talk through homeroom.

By the end of the School Day Yenn and Tamijah become fast friends. They find they have a lot in common and both game online. In a game they are both addicted to. Warframe.

Tamijah follows Yenn to the Archery meet, where they talk about Archery, practice for the first game of the year and just general chat. It lasts about two hours and when it lets out Tamijah finds out Yenn doesn't live too far away, just down the street from Tamijah. When they both got home and had a chance to do Homework, and then after dinner they both join Warframe together to play until it was time for bed. It went on like this for a few weeks, Yenn and Tamijah becoming closer and closer until they ended up as good friends
