Tales of What Lies Below

As with anything I write the following story is fiction. The characters are copyright to me. If you are reading this with hopes of yiff then you are out of luck. Some of the scenes may contain subject material not suitable for younger furs.

Mist rushed past the sleeping boy on his couch and was out the door, hurrying to make it to the central palace on time. The king, as he had been told, was going to personally greet mist for coming to his humble city. Mist blinked when he saw a type of limo outside, waiting for him. As he got in he was greeted by the king's advisor and PR phin, both males were blushing a bit. "It is an honor to meet you sir Mist, our majesty is looking forward to having a private evening with you."

The other male nodded to him, "When we pull up the press is going to be everywhere, so we'll need to rush inside unless you want them to surround us."

Mist nodded and laughed a bit, "I know how it is. Gods I feel like some kind of celebrity."

The two males laughed as the limo pulled up outside of the large dome like castle, "To us you are one. We've never met another phin like us from the outside world."

Mist blushed again and stepped out of the limo after he was introduced. Instead of just running inside he let a little of the fame get to his head so he walked up inside the castle, waving to the crowd. The King was standing before them as the door closed behind. Mist bowed before the king who held up his hand before bowing for mist. Mist blushed a bit and the king came forward to drape an arm over his back as they walked off to a side chamber.

"Sir, you don't need to bow for me."

To that the king cut him off. "Nonsense, you have reinvigorated my people, given them something to look forward to. For that I am indebted to you."

Mist raised a brow, turning his head to look out a window, "I don't believe I have done much to help that, perhaps just lifted their spirits, but not anything to actually contribute to the rise in productivity."

The king just nodded and stopped at the same window looking out over his kingdom. "Ever since the uprising years ago things have never been the same, many of those that were involved were in the industrial sector were...killed, and it has been hard to find ones to replace them."

Mist glanced to the king and tilted his head a little, "There is an industrial center here? I took readings of the area when I flew in and detected now significant heat sources or anything like that."

He nodded and sat back on his throne looking down to the ground, "Indeed we have one, it processes waste, generates building supplies, our power, and even our air supply is due to it. However, it is hidden under this city. Kept away from the majority of the population due to what lies down there."

Mist perked a bit then furrowed his gaze to the king, "What's so horrible down there that you can't show it to the populace?"

"Well, I'm sure you've learned a bit about the uprising from someone?" Mist nodded and sat down to listen, "Well, that's a lie. What really happened was a viral outbreak shortly after our population reached over 500,000. It was quite crowded down here and the virus, called Velion TC2, by our pathologists here spread quickly. Some were hardly affected while others had flu symptoms or worse to deformations, even death. Many died horrible deaths where the skin liquefied and..."

Mist cut him off, looking a bit ill, "So...let me guess, those who were deformed are now working in the industrial sector?"

He sighed deeply and nodded, "Yes, it made many stronger than normal, but also well...you would have to see how badly some are deformed. One poor guy down there has no tail and walks on 3 legs. The industrial sector is also where the virus originated, we tried to contain it but it spread into the life support system and all hell broke loose then." Mist nodded and stood before gazing down to the male, eying him before asking to go down to see the sealed off area. On the way they talked about how the people had forgotten what transpired.

"Well as you can guess once we controlled and eventually drove the infection out, phins were too scared to come out of their homes, fearing they would become infected, or die. Through the use of our media services we..." he swallowed a bit, "brainwashed the whole uprising scenario to the masses, saying all was ok, and came up with a story in why we sealed off the industrial sector. The citizens bought it, and life returned to normal shortly there after."

Mist's mouth dropped and he looked disapprovingly to the king, following a little behind him now, cautious of what was happening around him. "How could you do such a thing to everyone? I can see your reasons, but brainwashing can have adverse effects. You can't create a utopia and sustain one on false pretenses!" Steam was practically rolling off his skin he was so hot and pissed over it. The king's guards moved closer to Mist just in case he made a move.

The king, himself, was in a bit of shock and appeared rather nervously towards him, "Look, the king before me didn't have a choice, our society depended on phins interacting with each other and it appeared to him that drastic measures were needed. Look! I...I..." He was cut off as his guards stopped Mist from taking a swing towards him, one injecting a needle into his arm. Mist yelled out as he felt then needle and seconds later passed out on the cold hallway.

Hours later Mist suddenly awoke, feeling his head was throbbing in pain, and a small bruise on his arm where the guard had grabbed it. As his vision came back he glanced around to find he was back in his room, noticing fresh sheets as well as the boy that came over earlier was missing.

Mist rose up from his bed and planted his feet on the floor, standing up a bit wobbly. Whatever they had used to knock him out was very disorienting, and so he was stumbling over things out to the living room where he found a guard looking to him sternly.

"I have orders to stay here and make sure you do not leave. If you need anything I will call it in to have it delivered here for you."

Mist just huffed and nodded, taking a good look over the guard who was wearing a full suit of body armor and holstered at his sides were both Mist's pistol and his own Colt .45. Mist whistled as he saw the 45 and nodded towards it. Nice gun you have there, I bet you take very good care of it."

The guard nodded and leaned back into the couch and grinned, "Yes, and I'm well trained with it." After he said that he whipped the gun out and flicked the safety off in one motion. As the safety was flicked off a targeting laser was aimed directly at Mist's head, making him grin a bit. After the guard laughed he holstered his weapon.

Mist went to the kitchen to make some coffee, looking up and asked the guard if he would like some. Of course the male nodded and inside Mist was grinning wide, he took a few sleeping pills and ground them up with the beans. While the coffee was being made Mist secretly readied himself a cup of Insta-Joe, instant coffee.

Once it perked he poured a cup to the male and made it look like he was pouring a cup for himself. Heading over to the male he handed him the drugged coffee and smiled.

"I hope this is to your liking, sir" The sir added on surprised the guard but he sniffed the coffee then took a sip and nodded. The two sipped and talked for a good 10 minutes before the guard looked a little funny. Knowing that caffeine and sleep aids together wouldn't drop the guard, he did however know it would slow the reaction time. Mist became a little flirty with the guard who was starting to enjoy it, rubbing over his rump before Mist settled next to him. As he leaned in for a kiss, Mist wrapped his arms around him, one hand knocked him out while the other took his pistol out of the holster. "That's my gun bitch, no touchy"

When the guard was secure and tied up Mist searched the apartment and turned up his suit of armor and slipped it on then powered it up before doing a scan of the area. It turned up the door outside was being watched by a CC video system, as well as a second guard outside. This posed quite the problem, one that would take some thought.

After using the bathroom he had an idea one in which he was sure would work. First he called for a pizza, secondly he prepared a dart with the sleep aid crushed and dissolved into water, lastly he would have to lure the guard away from the camera's view before shooting him with the dart.

30 minutes after the pizza was ordered a delivery guy showed up at the door and as planned the guard stopped him. Mist used this time to unscrew the peep hole in the door and waited for the guard to be away from the door then placed the tube of the blow gun into the hole and took aim, hitting the guard in the neck as the delivery guy was driving off. Mist then snuck out the window and took a slice of pizza from the box to munch on as he made his way semi-stealthily to the industrial sector of the city.

...To be continued

Authors lame excuses: I hope this part being non-yiffy doesn't upset those that were hoping for another sex scene, I'll try to make up for it next story. Keep reading and watching for more parts to Pacificaris in the future.
