Chapter Thirty

"Death and Rebirth"

By

Furry Sith Lord

My father is many things... overbearing, stubborn, self righteous, and obstinate, to name a few but then so am I. I can honestly say that my father and I are so much alike in so many ways that it's no wonder we get on each other's nerves and fight all the time. However we love each other so much that you'd think we were crazy.

The one thing I can say about my father is that he keeps his word! He promised that he'd destroy The White Citadel and C.I.Z.A. and he did just that! Even I am jealous of his success, even though I played a small part in it. I still feel really crummy about all the lying I did and wished I was more honest like my father. It's something I'm trying to work at.

I was grounded for 3 weeks for punching him in the dick and balls but my dad punished him too for everything that happened. Seemed we both paid a price for our victory. I'm not sure exactly what my dad did but I heard rumors about a wolf cage he was in for three weeks. Lyon was telling me about how unhappy he was but he was walking around the house regularly so how exactly was he in the wolf cage?

After my father and I served our time, the maid gave my dad a beating because he was found pawcuffed to a chair in the living room wearing only his fur. My parents didn't talk to each other for three days after that.

With only 1 week left in the semester and the academy being informed about our cubnapping, Uncle Jon tutored Ben, Lyon, and myself rigorously within that time to help us catch up and we managed to pass our final's with high marks. It was no easy task though and at times it felt like a dildo of sharp glass was being used on us.

My father spoke to Ben's family and they were overjoyed that my parents wanted Ben to come live with us. He wasn't adopted or anything that way he and I could still date without it being awkward. My parents were just his acting guardians for the time being and since his family didn't want him around it was a win-win for both sides. It just really sucked that durring the break between semesters I was grounded during most of it and we didn't get enough time together as I would have liked.

As embarrassing as it is to say it, I still have the dildo that BH gave me. I'd been holding on to it but not really sure why. Probably as a keepsake to remember him by but after the battle at The White Citadel he hasn't been seen and no one knows what happened to him.

In the end Will took 10 of the slaves to work for his company and after my father selected some for his private security force the rest were sold to Master Fox. Our father brought us to meet him and it was an interesting reunion!

Master Fox spent the time asking how we were doing and petting us. I think he told us a number of times that "We were good boys" and how proud of us he was. Lyon and I were mostly silent because we didn't know what to say to him. Even though we were no longer slaves, he still scared us.

Our father was able to get the identities of our original adults that sold us, and he was very interested in learning who Lyon's father was. Lyon's adult was a rival that had tried numerous underhanded things in the past. It was no surprise that he had abused his son then sold him off.

Our father decided to set things right as he went about to bankrupt Lyon's adult as revenge for everything he put the cub through. Though he offered to settle matters between my adults and myself I asked him to let it go. Even though they gave birth to me they were never really my family. My real family is a red deer and a grey wolf parents that love each other as much as they love my brother and myself.

Even though they were both male and could never have children of their own, we were theirs 100% and they were more real as our parents than the original adults that gave us birth. Even though we fight... alot. I'm proud to be my father's son just as my brother Lyon is proud to be our dad's son.

"We go to news anchor Phil with this live news conference that Lou Cervus-D of The Antler's Conglomerate has called. Phil?" An eastern grey squirrel wearing a sharp suit as she sat at a news desk said. All the stations switched to the live newscast due to the authority Lou had and his company.

"Thanks Marge," A red fox squirrel replied as he stood by waiting for Lou to give his announcement. "We are here, in the downtown as Lou Cervus-D has called an emergency press conference. There is much speculation surrounding this press conference concerning recent events." The camera centered on Lou sitting next to his husband and their two sons waiting for him to approach the microphone set up on the podium on stage. The camera zoomed in to show that his sons were a white tiger and a white lion.

The family was dressed in winter clothing as the temperature was quite cold today as the holiday was approaching. Lou and Tyger sat at opposite ends of the row of chairs with Leggo and Lyon in between them. The heavy coat that the deer wore covered him but hung loosely so that the suit he was wearing could partially be seen. He wanted to keep his corporate image.

Leggo had a sudden mischievous look on his face and slid his paw to poke the white tiger going around the white lion next to him. The tiger gave a sudden jump and he poked his brother and the two started after each other as the wolf sat there grinning still trying to look innocent of the whole matter.

The deer snapped his head at them and said something harshly that instantly made them settle down. As he was raising his head he suddenly looked at the wolf's face and stared at him knowingly for a moment.

"As we can see his children were born with a rare evolutionary trait that leaves them with unfortunate discolored with white fur. It was surprising that he would ever keep and take care of furs like that, but we have to give him credit for not disowning his children." Phil continued.

"Phil, wasn't there a report that the two cubs were cubnapped from the private school they attend?" Marge asked.

"Yes Marge, luckily the local FDI and law enforcement was about to track down the ones responsible and safely return them home. It is believed that this whole press conference is a response to that cubnapping. Oh, it looks like he's ready to begin." Phil said and the camera focused back on Lou as he rose and gracefully walked towards the podium. There were numerous reporters taking pictures at the front and several others were holding microphones to properly record the event.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the press," Lou started after he readied himself at the podium. His family watched him supportingly. Lights from the camera flashed on his face but he was not disturbed by them as if they didn't exist. "I have come to announce the greatest undertaking in history. I was recently reminded of the hatred that species born with rare white fur face on a daily basis when my own children were abducted because of their fur color. A group of peaceful species that were all born with rare white fur heard and came to their rescue.

"As a reward for saving my dear children my company will be retrofitting their small community to turn it into a thriving city where any species, regardless of what color they are, can live in peace and safety in a safe space. I would like to introduce the newly elected mayor of The Diamond Capital, as they named it, Sanic the Hedgehog." Lou said as a white hedgehog walked over and Lou carefully lifted him to the podium. There were shocked murmurs then Lou removed a book that was carefully wrapped in a clear covering to protect it. Lou applauded as he stepped back to allow Sanic to be the center of attention. A couple of the reporters clapped politely but they were all dumbfounded by the announcement.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I wish to thank our beloved benefactor, Lou Cervus-D for all he is doing to help our small poor community reach its full potential. With his help we can begin the process of ending the hatred that those like me have faced all their lives.

"In my paws I have a 1st. Edition of the book titled 'The White Dilema.' This is the book that started making species fear and hate anyone born with rare white fur. The book states that rare white furs will band together and bring great destruction upon the world... but did it always say that?" Sanic asked and he let the silence as the reporters were paying close attention to him and the original copy he held.

"Upon reading the first edition I was shocked to discover that the modern translations had altered the text of the story. Originally the first edition, which can be verified as we will be making copies and distributing them, states that the cub's book was merely a historical tale of how the hairless apes started The Great War. The book warned that the rare white skinned hairless apes were made the prophets at the time, because of their rare skin color. Their voices were the loudest stating that their Great Alpha, named Gawd, would rule the world.

For some unknown reason the translators deviated from the original text and made the book about hating rare white fur species. This has led to the subjugation of my people and the disdain modern society has for us. It's time for the truth to finally be known!" Sanic said and there was a storm of questions the reporters shouted at the tiny hedgehog. Lou hung off to the side to help direct the events as they erupted and the whole world was learning how wrong they had been.

"Can you confirm this?!!!" A reporter shouted.

"When will the documents be released to the public?!" Another reporter yelled.

"How long has this been kept from the public?"

"Was this a government stratagem?"

"Was this a ploy to create a mass genocide?" Another reporter said and Lou stepped in to quiet the mob. It was clear that Sanic was overwhelmed by the rapid fire questions and he didn't even know where to begin.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Thank you for coming here today, I quite assure you that my company will be releasing all the information on this as well as providing PDFs so you may read the original copy of the book for yourself and decide. The copy will be available on my website for everyone to download free of charge because The Antler's Conglomerate believes in the truth! Though we may become unpopular for revealing this, we strongly and will forever believe in the truth above all things.

"Amazing," Tyger said to himself as he listened to his father woo the audience and bend them to his will.

"What?" Lyon asked, confused.

"Father is making them bend to his will. He knows that what he's supporting will be unpopular and he'll probably see his stock plummet but he's gaining the support of the public by stating that he's following the truth so that anyone who tries to publicly oppose him will be viewed as a species that doesn't believe or like the truth. Nobody wants to be known as that, so no one will speak out. When customers see his products they will know that his company, The Antler's Conglomerate is a company that stands for the truth and that will make him more popular with consumers." Tyger explained.

"But what about the stocks?" Lyon asked.

"Initially we'll take a hit because these things happen but as the excitement builds and the public outcry will make our stocks skyrocket! I mean I hate to say it but I wish I could plan things like this." Tyger explained to his brother and he suddenly saw his father turn his gaze slightly to look at his son and he gave him a sinister smile. Tyger let out a sigh and shook his head.

"What?!" Lyon asked his brother again now that he was even more confused about what was going on between them.

"You know how I'm grounded?"

"Yeah,"

"Do you know 'why' I'm grounded?" Tyger asked.

"Not exactly, I figured you pissed him off again or you two had one of your fights." Lyon said.

"You're not too far off. He said something that really pissed me off, I mean really pissed me off because it isn't true in the slightest. Anyway that look he just gave me was him listening in and him getting a dig in knowing how we feel about all this. In other words, he just punched me in the balls and he didn't have to lift a finger! I swear by my own name that I hate him sometimes and he knows it!" Tyger said as he pouted and Lyon dismissed the comment by shaking his head. He saw it as the two of them trying to outdo each other again and nothing he had to worry about. Sometimes the two of them could be so petty to each other!

"This is the breaking news here as Lou Cervus-D made ground breaking news with the discovery of a long lost 1st edition copy of The White Dilema! He asserts that changes within the book have led to the downfall of our society. In the days to come experts will be called to check the authenticity of the document and how historically reliable it is." Phil stated to the camera.

"Phil, is it possible that the book they contain is a forgery?" Marge asked. Phil stood still as if waiting for her question to arrive then he answered once he seemed to hear it.

"At this point it's anyone's guess. Until we can get the experts to examine the document we won't know much for sure other than copies will be available to the public if you go on their company's web site." Phil responded.

"What is the general response there at the press conference?" Marge asked.

"I can describe it in one word, pandemonium! A bomb of this magnitude has left everyone here reeling from the impact of what was said. No one seems to know how to respond and what to do next. Again until we've had a chance for expert to verify the authenticity of the claims it's hard to know how to respond or what to do." Phil said.

"Sorry to cut you off Phil but we have more breaking news as a riot has broken out in a midwestern city. We're going to Mark live! Mark? What's the situation going on right now?" Marge asked. Mark stood there holding a bloodied cloth to his forehead as he waited briefly in front of the camera. There seemed to be a slight delay between the studio and the onsite crew.

Mark is a tan colored llama in a forest green suit but he was dirty and the suit soiled from the chaos around him. In the background dozens of species were rioting and looting stores as the police marched in with riot gear and they threw tear gas into the crowds. Marge had a look of horror as she observed the disorder.

"Marge, pandemonium has been unleashed as the news conference has spelled what many have feared. There were those among us that were dubbed conspiracy theorists and had been claiming the governments had been manipulating the truth and feeding lies. Now they have taken to the streets in an effort to proclaim 'We told You So!' The police have come out in full force to try and relieve the tension and violence but overall one thing is certain. The world will never be the same again." Mark said.

"Mark, I'm getting reports that many are claiming the unrest to be the fulfillment in the prophecy believed to be in The White Dilema book that states that rare white furs will destroy the world and bring about a second Great War and make all species extinct." Marge said as her face started to show panic. Mark waited a few seconds before he nodded in agreement.

"The main thing we'll need to consider is that if the book was altered as The Antler's Conglomerate states it was, then the whole prophecy is wrong and the public is panicking for nothing." Mark replied.

Things were chaotic in the beginning but after careful scrutiny it was confirmed that the copy we had is authentic. Upon examining the original autograph of The White Dilema it was clearly demonstrated that the story had been rewritten by the translators for some reason.

This caused the conspiracy theorists to claim it was part of a government plot to stop species from evolving. This was a new theory they had stating that the government wanted certain species to go extinct because they were problematic and so they wanted to stop them from evolving in order that they'd die off.

Society had other thoughts and many species sought to become allies of rare white fur species. A new movement began to become more inclusive and advertisers started to include rare white furs in their commercials.

Bear had been promoted as the spokesman for Soda Coke company. He was featured as a polar bear in extremely cold climates drinking Soda Coke with his fictional polar bear family. This became one of the first ways white fur species were now being added to commercials.

With the holidays approaching, sponsors showed commercials showing diverse families and they added at least one family member that was a rare white fur species now included in the mix. Many celebrities stepped forth and publicly endorse a more inclusive lifestyle and promote species being allies of rare white furs.

There were many older species that refused to embrace the ideology of acceptance but their voices of hatred were diminished against the multitudes pushing to end the hatred and embrace the love for all species no matter what color they were. The change wouldn't happen overnight but change was coming!

13 Years ago...

In a small portion of the world where modern civilization had not had a chance to influence the area, a shrewdness of apes gathered and lived in the rustic surroundings. They hadn't officially made houses to live in but used a cave and anything that could shelter the group from the weather.

For years as they were ignored evolution continued to advance in them until soon the shrewdness of apes began to give birth to apes that lacked hair! Their bodies were not as strong as the other apes and they began to use primitive tools as weapons, such as clubs. Their dark colored skin made them appear to have more fur than they actually did and they needed to cover their bodies in order to stay warm. When they first learned how to make fire, they had the first evolutionary advantage to keep them from going extinct.

They first used anything to wrap their bodies from the flora and fauna around them but as they made more and more primitive tools they soon could take the fur of the species they killed to cover their bodies. It wasn't very pretty to look at and the clothes the civilized world created did a far better job but they had yet to advance that far.

They couldn't communicate to the outside world because they had no one to teach them the common language that species spoke to each other. They only spoke the primitive ape language that to anyone else would seem absurd and foolish.

The rest of the world ignored these primitives thinking they were not worth their time. A few missionaries tried to enter and teach them about modern society but with no one to speak their language the shrewdness would kill the invaders and eat then wear them. With the world ignoring them their numbers slowly grew!

"AHH AHHHH AHHHHHHH!" A female screamed as she was nearing the time to give birth. Her swollen stomach pointed up as her legs were spread. A now muddied puddle of bodily fluid sat beneath her leaking from her lady part.

She felt the pressure building as her body was trying to force the baby out. The pressure kept increasing but it felt like the baby didn't want to be pushed out. It was like feeling constipated or when a male tries to force out a kidney stone. No matter how much she pushed it felt like she would never dislodge it. Even with those around her offering encouragement it did little to ease the experience.

Sweat dripped from her pours in quantities greater than what leaked from her lady area, or that's how she felt and even when the other females told her that when she felt uncontrollable water gush out of her that it made the delivery easier she was now convinced they were lying! Nothing about this was easy in any way.

Slowly inch by inch the baby was being forced out of her but the pain made it excruciating.

"I see the head," someone said to her then a couple of people started yelling at her to push. She pushed with all she had but couldn't feel any movement from the baby and this was making her panic even more.

Finally she felt something that was like as pop and the pressure vanished as she felt the baby dislodge from her. She felt a slight tug on the umbilical cord still sticking out of her but she was more focused on catching her breath and when one of the other hairless ones slapped the baby on the back and it started crying.

She heard some strange expressions as they seemed to be saying 'aww' as they looked at her child. They handed it to her and she looked at it and saw the tiny penis indicating it was male. This was of little importance to her because what really caught her eye and the reason why the others were amazed was that her son was born with white skin!

Gawd, The Great Alpha, had blessed her with an exceptional child that would one day lead her people. She exposed her teeth and bit off the umbilical cord from the child's naval as it wailed. She wanted to feed him but the others were telling her to give him up so that the chosen one could be announced to the shrewdness.

Outside a crowd had gathered as they waited to hear news of the newest member of their shrewdness.

"Hooman...hooman...hooman...hooman." The group chanted as the boy was revealed and his skin color marked him as what they thought he was. They knew that at last the Gawd had spoken and he sent them a leader! He was destined to lead them and that they would once again rule all the other species on the planet! Today in a little area forgotten by the rest of the world, their leader had been born!
