Dragon Age: Furry

By Tigz Hunter and Rowan Nero

Chapter 1: Chances of Luck

The sun rose over the mountain as a rooster crows loudly, signaling the start of the new day. The grass is still covered in the morning dew, and the cows are all over the yard of a small farm. Two otters ran out, cursing loudly as they saw the fence was broken letting the cows out over the yard and allowing them to eat flowers in the flower bed by the porch.

The older looking otter starts to wave the cows towards the fence as the younger otter picks up the wood fence part that is knocked out, smiling as he saw it wasn't broken. After a half hour of herding them back into the pasture, they replace the fence piece and sigh.

"Thank goodness they dun' gone and break it again, we gotta figure out why they keep kicking it down." The younger one says to the older one, who just nods. "So Dad, you want me to go with you to the market right?"

The dad sighs, and then responds with "Yes, we have a lot more crops this year and I heard the thieves have gotten worse. Don't want anyone getting a free meal for our back breaking work. Plus thanks to the damned cows I need help hitchin the cart so we can get there in time."

The younger otter nods and hurries to the barn to get the horse ready.

Meanwhile, a young wolf wakes up by the sun light shining over him as he lies down on a makeshift bed in the alley ways of Denerim. His blue eyes open as he stands up and look around, seeing that no one sees him. He checks his twin daggers as he walks out the ally "Man, another day...so that means another day of stealing from some dumbass farmer" Tigz says, his tail moving a little as he sees a lot of people out today in the market.

A knight walks around the corner to see Tigz, he quickly looks at a wanted paper he is carrying around and asking people have they seen him. The knight looks up at Tigz as he pulls out his sword "You! Stop where you stand or be killed!" The knight screams out as he begins to run toward him with his iron sword raise in the air as he runs to him.

Tigz looks over at the knight as he sighs, turning away from the knight "Joy...nice way to start the day, get chase by a knight before catching me a good breakfast, don't they think that I want to have a good meal before having to hear them say I am going down for being a thief and all my stealing will put me to death? God I hate knights..." Says Tigz as he begins to run to the front gates, pulling out one of daggers as he quickly puts a rope around it and throws it over the wall of the gates.

"Stop him now man!" Yells the knight as more knights start to run to the front gate with their swords and the archer knights come out and start to put the arrows onto the string of the bow and aim towards him "Don't fire until you have him in your sights men! I want him dead with one shot!"

Tigz feels that the dagger is stuck to something, quickly uses this chance to run up the wall of the front gates to climb over the walls, but as he climbs an arrow nearly misses his head "Whoa! Shit who the fuck you think you are shooting out you damn donkeys!!" Yells Tigz as he pulls out something from his pocket "Here Ser Vanie I made you a something for your birthday!" He says as he throws a poison smoke bomb on the knights and archers, making a clean escape over the gate.

As Tigz makes his escape, the otters from the farm approaches the gate on their cart loaded with assorted vegetables. The older otter said "Rowan we're almost too where the thieves get bad, so I want you to get ready to walk at the back of the cart and watch out for anyone trying to get a free meal. I heard there was a thief that targets this area."

Rowan, the younger otter, nods and hops off the cart to walk beside it. As he does this, they come up to the gate.

Tigz gets away from the gate as he sees a family of farmers with a cart full of vegetables as he looks at it he thinks his day might be getting better with luck as he begins to slowly move to the cart by moving to the trees that are not far from the gate entrance "What do you know, Ser Vanie just helped me out after all, and not a bad score for me either, seems like all of them are not good at fighting so this is going to be easy" Says Tigz quietly as he slowly moves through the shadows of the trees to hide his figure within it, but as he moves to the cart within the range of his speed to get him to take them out cold, he hears howling which no normal animal can create "Huh...is that a feral wolf?...No...that sounds like a..." His thoughts start to come together to the howling as the howling becomes louder with the range of the traveling sound making it soon very close. Tigz turns around as he sees three darken wolf with spikes coming out their bodies run toward him at a heart racing speed.

Rowan's ears would perk up as the howling rings through the area and he would turn his head around to look for the source. His father would curse, and yell for the guards as Rowan would take off towards Tigz drawing out his dagger.

The wolves quickly surround Tigz as they look at him with their demon like eyes set on devouring him "Shit, why is today turning into one hell of a nightmare" Says Tigz as he pulls out daggers, but his ears pick up something moving toward him from behind, knowing it might be friend or foe he quickly throws one of daggers to the wolf on the right of him. The wolf on the right then has a dagger go right into the middle of its head. "Hey if anyone is here help me the fuck out now!" Tigz yells out as he can sense that the other two wolves move in to take him down.

Rowan would shove into the wolf that jumps towards Tigz on his left, shoving his dagger into its neck. The last wolf would growl, and back off a little bit now that it was out numbered. Rowan's father runs up nearby unarmed to see if he was alright. The wolf would jump over the two's head and run towards the older otter. Rowan would turn around, and draw his hand back. He'd then thrust his hand forward and release a bolt of energy after the wolf, striking it in the back.

The wolf hits the ground with its body badly hurt by the bolt "What the...a mage?" thought Tigz as he looks at the younger otter with a little shock in his eyes "Shit...that would have been me then if I tried to steal from them...Joy the Maker really hates my ass this morning" Says Tigz as he sees the wolf gets up and tries to go after the older otter again, its fangs as sharp as razor blades as it has one thing on its mind, to kill and feed on anything it can garb with its fangs.

Rowan would growl in anger and send three more bolts of magic towards the wolf. The first two hit it dead on, but the third would go pass his father, almost hitting him, and slams into the cart. What vegetables wasn't destroyed, scatters around the area. Everything is still and quiet for a moment, as Rowan thought "Oh...Shit..."

Tigz blinks a few times, looking over at the young otter as he shakes his head "Maker...why the fuck do you have to give me the worse luck of all days...you found me a mage who can't use his powers right and plus he even destroyed the food too...DAMN YOU MAKER!!!!" Yells out Tigz as he falls to his knees, sighing as his day seems like a mess "can it get any worse than this...?" Ask Tigz to himself as he looks at the younger otter and the older otter.

"Well that is interesting I must say, a newly mage and a thief who seems to be a good fighter." A voice says from behind a tree as he moves out from the tree, his silver eyes shining as his light armor with a dark red color shows within the little light shining through the trees.

The older otter would stand, glaring at his son. He'd look at the cart, and then look back at the otter that is now looking at the ground in shame. He'd turn his back, and say "You're no son of mine, go to the Circle of Magi and rot in there for all I care." He'd then storm away back towards the scattered vegetables, pick up what he could, and storm into the city.

Rowan would fall to his knees, his paws grasping the grass as his anger grows with what his father said. As he does, Tigz looks behind him and look at the stranger "So who are you...?" Ask Tigz as he walks to the otter, picking him up on his feet "and you get over it, things happen you know dude" Says Tigz as he look away, thinking of his parents a little after seeing that.

The stranger looks at them as he walks over to them both, his paws touching both of them on the shoulder "My name is Odin, a Grey Warden" Says Odin, seeing that he is a snow wolf.

Rowan would look up to Odin, tears hanging in his eyes, and say "A what?"

"A Grey Warden...joy you mean the people who fight darkspawn and stop blights and stuff right?" Ask Tigz as his eyes start to slowly become narrow, not liking the fact his luck is as bad as the dead wolf on the ground.

Odin nods as he then grins at both of them "Yes that is true Tigz; I am what you think I am." Said Odin as he rubs both their heads "Which I have a question for both of you, will you join to help fight the darkspawn, you both should know what they are and what they are capable of doing to people." Says Odin as his silver eyes glow a little with the sunlight.

Rowan would bite his lip a little and nod. "I have nowhere else besides the circle to go and I'd rather not rot there, so what choice do I have?"

Tigz steps back as he looks at the both of them "Sorry, I am not the kind of fur who likes fighting something that will kill me" Says Tigz as he turns away.

"It would keep the knights off of you, because they are almost here to kill you, but if you wish to die then I can kill you if you like" Says Odin as he pulls out a large sword from his back, it having a symbol on it.

Rowan would look to Tigz and say "Well, I'd rather you not get killed after I risked everything to save you but do what you want..."

Tigz sighs as he hears the knights running their way; he puts his daggers away and closes his eyes "Fine! Let's get the fuck out of here then ok?" Says Tigz as he starts to walk off "Maker, I fucking hate you from my damn ass shit of luck which you damn well know I didn't do shit to you today! Fuck you Maker!"

Odin nods as he moves his left paw to show the way they will be heading as Rowan gets up and starts to walk off with them "You both will make good members to the Grey Wardens" Says Odin as he walks down the middle of the forest.

The three begin to walk off into the forest, all of them slowly start to vanish within the shadows of the forest as the knights finally come up to the forest all they see is nothingness...
