A otherkins memories
Authors note: well as I've been informed there is actually more therians and otherkin here on sofurry. So I'd like to say sorry to those I may have confused. I called myself therian thinking that most people id met here wouldn't know what either therians or otherkin are. I used therian because I believe a therian is a easier to understand example. On another note I've only recently chosen to acknowledge my awakening. Also from here on this series will be called an otherkins memories as to not confuse you further. This is a continuation from a therians memories.
Chapter 2: Scilia
Scilia was and still is the biggest part of my life. Scilia was a human girl. She lived a harsh life. Always treated poorly, an outcast. Scilia had natural black hair down to her shoulders. She had warm brown eyes.
At the age of 17 she couldn't take it any more living so unfairly treated, day in day out. She ran into the woods near her small village. She ran deep into the woods with nothing but the clothes she wore on her back. She pressed ever further through the forest.
Eventually she made it through the forest. As it was night fall came she took shelter at a nearby mine. She took her time, but eventually fell asleep on the hard stone floor.
In her sleep she felt rope binding her arms. When she woke she saw a bunch of people heavily armed. The band of people had another lot of people in very poor condition tied together. She fought against them but found herself tied to the rest of them.
They were all forced to walk for days, with very little amounts of food to be sparred on them. Eventually they came to a area where there was a whole lot of slaves being taught what they were expected to do, and being severely disciplined. She was thrown in with them to be taught, and then to be sold.
After the first week she was almost broken. Then a new lot of slaves came to be "Taught". Among them was a little girl not so much different from herself. She told herself she'd help this girl escape. Eventually the new slaves were put to work.
The slave traders made her try to move large amounts of equipment around. When scilia saw this, she reacted almost instantaneously. Lashing out at those around her. She stood her ground protecting the child.
When the guards finally managed to get scilia down. She was brutally whipped by a cat of nine. Over and over the nine struck. After she was left with scars. Even though she was punished for protecting this girl she still looked after her.
(back to my perspective Nehzier)
I woke after spending my night sleeping off the cattle from a nearby village. I stretched as my bones cracked. I let out a silent yawn. I walked over to the exit of my new home in the mountains further than most humans would dare go.
After spending many nights while I was young with my dead mother hoping shed come back, I left. Too much reminded me of that day. I left on all four. Surprisingly I ran into no trouble travelling to find somewhere else.
When I finally found this cave I was happy yet sad. Beyond this cave and my hate I had nothing. No family, nothing.
I began my morning hunt for food. I flew down from my mountains, as more food can be found down below in the grasslands below the mountains. I flew over open plains and forests. As I was flying over one clearing there was a group of humans.
I rained down fiery fury on them. Although the small camp died I was unfortunate that there were two camps. As I flew they opened fire on me shooting with bows and arrows, and even a ballista. I flew feeling the sting as arrows split scales and burying themselves into muscle. I roared in pain still airborn.
Then it struck me. A large beam with an arrow tip. I roared as it tore through my lower calf muscle to my left hind leg. I roared and began losing height so I used what remaining strength to get as far away as possible. I fell deep into a forest when I hit the ground.
(Back to scilia)
Scillia had woken up for a early start as usual for the slaves. Scilia had always stuck close to the little girl since that incident. All of a sudden the guards were shouting "Dragon" and "Demon" they screamed. Many of them ran out with crossbows and bolts.
Scilia took this opportunity to grab the girl and finally run from them amidst the confusion. She quietly snuck past those guards now taking aim at the dragon. Scilia kept saying to the girl "everything will be alright, we have to keep running". They came to the forest line and proceeded deeper into the woods. She thanked the gods that a dragon flew over distracting them.
(back to me an hour later)
I was losing blood fast. I was unable to remove any of the bolts inside of me. Most of my strength was gone when I hit the floor. I heard rustling from some nearby bushes. I quickly prepared for whatever creature would be my downfall.
What appeared from behind those bushes was a human girl with black hair. She was all alone. What should have been an easy kill was harder than I thought.
The girl began to walk over to me. Blood was pooling below me. I let out a loud roar an attempt to scare her off. Not to my surprise she still walked towards me. I did however manage to make her flinch from the roar.
She moved within striking distance of my front paws. I lashed out at her with my left paw. Battering her away into a nearby tree. I heard bones snap on the girl's body. She slid down the tree.
To my astonishment she placed her hands on the ground and pushed herself back up. I saw that she was injured, wincing at every move she made. The blood loss was beginning to get to me. As everything began to fade to black. It felt horrible knowing the one that would most likely kill me was the last thing id ever remember.
(scilia when she found me)
Scilia saw the dragon from before. She wanted to thank it for being here at that time because without him she would still be in that hell hole. She saw how badly he was hurt, and the likely hood of him dying. She felt compelled to help the dragon she owed so much to.
She began too slowly walk towards him being careful, because even though he was dieing she could easily find herself dead. She walked slowly towards him watching him. When she got close enough he lashed out at her sending her hard into a tree.
Loud snaps in her bones were heard. But over time of being whipped she learned to block some pain out. She pushed herself of the ground. She winced every time she used an injured bone. She was once again within his striking distance.
His eyes closed slowly as she realised what was going on. He collapsed in front of her, in his own pool of blood. She knew she had to help but what could she do. She went over to his side and looked at the 27 bolts in him and the ballista arrow.
