#8 of Tails of Fate


Disclaimer: I have been reading a lot of stories of yiff star recently, trying to figure out what people look for in a story. Some people like the action, while others love the parts that involve love making between two furs.

I have been trying to find out ways to improve my stories, yet not a lot of people answer my questions. I would love the feedback from anyone who reads this series or just someone looking at this story to get there opinion.

This next part is the introduction to the world where Jasmines real home is. I hope you enjoy.

Chapter 8: The other World

{Everyone has a different opinion as to what the furry world looks like. Some cases there have been planets where both furries and humans live in harmony, while other planets only occupy furries. So far in this series you have seen a world with Furries and humans living on one, while another world has only furries living on it.}

{On the furries home planet there are no cars or large buildings; they only live in huts where small families live inside. There are usually 50-100 huts inside a village where many different furs can be seen, ranging from many different species. One thing that is most common between every village is the lush vegetation and forest surrounding them; mainly there to guard the village from enemies. Lately the protection has become useless as the dark furs have taken over most of the planet.}

{The waters are lush and clean, no forest land has been cut down by corporations trying to build new factories; just clear skies as far as the eye can see. There has never been any smog on this planet, or dumping of waste anywhere; the reason is they don't use electricity or use motor vehicles to get around. The only way to travel from city to city is by walking on your own two feet, or getting a ride from a flying creature, most likely a dragon or a gryphon.}

{Even without the fear of pollution clogging there lungs making them sick, there is one thing furs fear more then any natural disaster could devise... The enemy... You see the dark forces have taken over 90% of the planet, leaving well hidden villages with furs cowering in fear behind. That only accounts for 5% of the remaining 80% of the population that still survives.}

{So what about the other 15% of the population? 9% of the remaining population consists on the dark furs, while only 6% of the population live in a magic covered area unable to be detected by the dark forces. This is where the light Kitsunes final last hope stands, if the good furs don't do something about the dark forces consuming the world soon all that will be left are the dark ones to rule the devastated world.}

{Many people have wondered what the name of this new planet is; in reality no one really does mainly because there have never been a consensus done to finalize it. Even so there is a name which furs often refer the world as; this name is Lillicia. This name has been around for so long; dating back thousands of years that no one remembers where the name came from.}

{There is a problem about to occur, with so many furs coming from earth, someone could and most likely will make a mistake; this will reveal the location of the home base potentially dooming them all. This is why they need to ready for any situation that could come up.}

Lillicia first comes into view from outer space, when you look at the shape and size of the planet it looks almost identical to earth. The only difference being 71.25% of Lillicia is covered in land, dominated by trees and other forms of vegetation. Quickly you get closer to the planet, entering the thick atmosphere and finally reaching hundreds of yards above the treetops.

You start to float over the trees, seeing thousands upon thousands of acres of vegetation; occasionally seeing a village or two burned to the ground, lying in ruin. Next you pass over a vast ocean, seemingly endless; when you look down you can see non anthromorphic whales swimming in the ocean enjoying the freedom... or so it seems.

You reach land once again; Floating another 1,000 acres you stop over a village. This village seems oddly familiar for some reason, the way the burned huts were placed, the location of the trees surrounding it... wait this is the same village I just met yesterday... You slowly start to descend on the village, reaching the ground where you stood a day before.

A spec of light appears in thin air near to where you are standing right now; soon two bodies appear covered in the same light. The light surrounding Jasmine and Tony starts to fade away when there bodies are completely transported; this leaves the two stranded on the edge of the village.

When you look beyond Tony and Jasmine you see a strange sight, the trees start to wave around, not because it's hot out or a breeze just came by, but sometimes if you stare at the trees long enough, they start to blur and fade away.

"Wait..." Tony says "I recognize this place, this is where I saw the ten Kitsunes destroy the village yesterday, killing many furs... but why are we hear? There's nothing left but rubble and dust."

Jasmine looks at me with a quizzical look on her face. "You mean this village was the one that you saw get destroyed?"

I nod at Jasmine, not sure how she will react to the situation. "That's right, I saw this village get destroyed before meeting Richmanta for the first time."

Jasmine nods and smiles, something that catches me totally off guard. "You see Tony this isn't the main village... but a lookout post for the main village."

Not really understanding what she means by the comment I ask Jasmine. "If what you say is true, then where's the other village? All I see is thousands of trees surrounding us."

"Are you sure about that? Look closely at the trees, and tell me if you see anything different about them."

Still not sure what she's getting at I turn around and only see trees; at first I see nothing but hundreds of trees all around, then I start to see them wave around and blur slowly... "Wha... What's wrong with the trees?" I ask turning around to Jasmine.

She starts to giggle and say "These trees surrounding the village aren't real; they are a mirage so that the enemy won't be able to detect us and destroy the rest of the furries."

"Oh" I say, I turn back toward the trees and walk over to them, once I'm arms length to it I turn my head back around and ask Jasmine "So how are we supposed to get past this mirage?" I put my hand paw against the nearest tree to lean against it.

Instead of my paw leaning against it, it goes right through; realizing I just leaned against air, I try to regain my balance. After stumbling a bit more I completely lose my balance, going through the hologram and falling onto the ground with a low thump.

Jasmine follows me through the hologram and kneels down beside me. "See I told you these trees aren't real, it's just an illusion." She extends he paw towards me, I take her paw in mine and slowly rise up onto my feet.

When I get up I have the first chance to look around making my jaw drop; everywhere I look I see hundreds maybe even thousands of huts spread over the entire area. Looking farther back I see a tall building clearly where the general or leader resides.

Both of us start to walk towards the building moving between the huts and watching the other furs go about there daily routines. Most of the furs I notice are women and children with no men in sight. Walking by one of them I see an anthro cat tending to her 4 kits. The further we walk into the village the more furs stare at us. Each of them giving us a odd look and talking amongst themselves; soon a female Kitsune with 5 tails appears in the distance heading straight towards the both of us.

Soon she reaches us and bends over trying to catch her breath, finally she says "Jasmine... Is that you?" she says still trying to catch her breathe "Am I ever glad to see you" she goes over to Jasmine and hugs her tightly.

"Jen...? Is that you? Oh my god it's so good to see you!" both of them hug each other more. They finally separate from the hug, this is when Jen looks over to me and wonders who I am, that is until she spots my tails behind me; this makes her jaw drop and look flabbergasted.

"The rumors are true... our savior is here." She moves over to me and examines my body thoroughly and gives me a tight hug; a smile then comes to her face. "I can't believe it... after all these years... What's your name sir?"

"Uh... my name is Tony" at first I am a little stunned at the hug, soon I hug her back out of kindness.

For a few more seconds Jen continues to hug me before pulling away. "I have a message from Fangor... he wants to see the both of you right away, its very important." She turns around and starts walking towards the tall building that we were originally heading towards.

Both Jasmine and Tony follow close behind her continuing to walk toward the building. "Who is Fangor?" I ask Jasmine.

"Fangor is the general of our army; while I was away back on earth he was the leader as well while I was back on earth."

Getting closer to the building, I notice more Kitsunes, dragons and griffons aare patrolling the area. When they see both Jasmine and Jen they nod there heads towards them acknowledging there presence; most however stare at me wondering who I am, not really sure why I was needed until they saw my tails.

Soon most all furs are outside there huts marveling at the sight of the new Kitsunes that have now entered there society. Again I notice that most of the furs are females and children. "Where are all the husbands and fathers?" I ask.

"They are either gathering food, intelligence, on earth or protecting this city." Jen answers.

I nod, finally we reach the front of the building; standing in front of the doors are two male dragon guards with there arms across there stomachs. Seeing all three of us they move out of the way, letting us pass through.

Jen moves over to the door, turns the handle and opens it. All three of us walk into a vast room; as I look around I see hundreds of candles lit, illuminating it. Straight ahead is the figure of a man standing in front of a table looking at plans spread all across the big table.

Fangor was not a Kitsune like I originally thought he was, but an 8 foot tall dragon. His wings are closed resting on his back; they almost touch the ground only having 8 inches to spare. At the bend of the wings they reach 2 feet above his head, making him look even taller. Seeing the massive size of these wings make me wonder how big they would be if they were stretched out full length.

His hand and foot talons extend 10 inches away from his paws; when the sometimes when the talon catches a flick of a flame it makes the talon shine red. His body is covered in navy blue scales; while his stomach sports a white belly. His tail can be seen curled up around his legs once around before stretching out behind him 4 feet away. Running all along the tail are razor sharp spikes sticking 5 inches out of it all the way to the tip.

He has slits for eyes and his pupils are a glowing red; his muzzle looks to be about 2 feet long, stretching far out with sharp teeth jutting out of his mouth. His draconic ears stretch out above his head about a foot into the air ending in a point.

"Jasmine! Long time no see... I heard about your family and I'm so sorry they had to go like that." Fangor then brings his gaze over to me. "So the rumors are true... our savior has finally arrived."

Jasmine speaks up "that's right, he still has a lot to learn about being a Kitsune, but hes coming along quite nicely."

Fangor then walks out from behind the table and walks over to me. I stand my ground showing him the he doesn't scare me as he towers over me. He shrinks his size so that we now stand face to face; I look into his eyes and see a big smile.

"What's you're name sir?"

"My name is Tony; I am here to do whatever I can to solve the problem you are having."

Fangor looks back at me and looks up and down my body "You got guts I must give you that much Tony"

"Well we did kill those 10 dark Kitsunes by ourselves back on earth" Jasmine says with a smile.

"Speaking of which, Fangor... we need to inform all the furs back on earth to return back to Lillicia... the search is finally over."

Fangor nods at Jasmine, but has a sad look on his face. "We won't have enough room to hold that many furs. At most this village can hold 2.2 million furs... 2.4 million is going to be very cramped."

Jasmine thinks over what Fangor has just said "We have no choice Fangor, if the furs don't leave earth soon they will be killed by the humans within the week."

"I know Jasmine... that's what worries me... but for now I think its best for you two to get some sleep, you two look like you need some good rest. Tony it is a pleasure to meet you... and welcome back Jasmine; I have a feeling tomorrow will be a busy day for all of us. Fangor then turns to Jen "Jen please show Tony and Jasmine there hut where they will be sleeping for now."

Jen bows "yes sir" she turns around and heads toward the door from which we came in from. She opens them and heads back outside, with myself and Jasmine following close behind.

When we get outside we are greeted by thousands of furs standing in front of us, all wanting to see the newcomers. When they see us exist chatter quickly starts between each fur. "Jasmine... you have returned to us with... with... can it be? Everyone stop talking, listening intently for the response.

"Yes this is the one we have been looking for... he is the one who will bring peace back to this world."

Hearing the response, each furs eye go wide realizing that the torment they have been living with for so many years is almost over. "We are saved" someone yells. Everyone starts to cheer at the both of us happy that we have finally come back.

Slowly the three of us start to head toward the crowd of furs; at first I think we will have to push our way throught them, but as we reach the front of them they part away leaving enough room for us to get by. I see mother's breast feeding there children as we pass them, while others just look famished from not eating enough food.

I stay close to Jasmines side, not sure what to make of all the furs staring at us. "Jasmine, these people look like they haven't eaten in days..."

"Tony with the amount of people living in this village, there isn't enough food to go around feeding everyone properly."

I look at Jasmines face, seeing a sad look on it my only response to it is "oh".

We reach a hut that is slightly larger then the others; Jen stops at it and turns around, saying "this is where you will be sleeping for now."

Even though it was past midnight back on earth, the sun just finished setting here on Lillicia. Realizing I haven't eaten in two days my stomach starts to growl. "man I'm starving where can we find something to eat."

Jasmine giggles when she hears my stomach growl. "Same here the both of us haven't eaten in a while."

Jen speaks up when she hears us talking about food "you will find everything you need inside the hut; If you need anything I'll be inside the hut left to yours." Afterwards she starts walking towards her own tent, leaving the both of us alone.

"Well Jasmine I guess we should hit the hay for tonight."

She nods and both of us head toward the hut, the closer we get the stronger the smell of food gets. We move the curtain out of the way and look inside, the smell of food now really strong. Inside is a table with lots of food on it, ranging from chicken to lettuce. There are other types of food that I can't even identify.

Our mouths start to water at the sight of it we both practically dive at the food and gobble it down; feeling the food flow down into our stomachs was one of the best feelings I ever felt at that point in time. Within ten minutes the both of us have eaten every morsel of food on the table. Beside the food is also lots of water; while eating, we drank about a liter of the water, which refreshes our bodies tremendously.

After we finish eating everything in sight, we sit back and relax enjoying the feeling of our stomach feeling full. We then look around at the rest of the room and notice a large pile of hay in a corner with a blanket lying on top of it. The only other thing in the hut is about 50 candles lighting up the room leaving a nice homely feel to the atmosphere.

The both of us crawl on the floor over to the bed of straw, get on top of the pile and crawl underneath the blanket. We cuddle up against each other even though it's not cold and rub our muzzles together lovingly.

"Jasmine I have so many questions to ask you..."

Jasmine places a finger on my lips. "Your questions will be answered tomorrow, for now lets just get some much needed sleep."

I look into her eyes and nod "alright that sounds like a good idea, I feel like I can't keep my eyes open any longer." The both of us wrap our arms and tails around each other, making us feel like one.

Our eye lids become heavy, slowly both of us drift off to sleep happily in each others arms.

{What Jasmine and Tony don't know is that this will be the last peaceful night that they will have. The next day will be the beginning of the end, where not many will survive to live another day...}
