Tales of a changed Earth 8 by Raven Fox and Utah friend: A treaty is in place, the good dragons still half to keep their guard up. Sandra ends up tending an egg.

Prologue, unknown world, hours after the large dragon battle.

The white colored artic held the limp form of her daughter. "Cynthia!!! Wake up!!! Please!!!" Sandra screamed to the younger artic vixen in her arms.

Ewyon looked at her friend feeling a pain in her chest keeping her distance from the upset vixen. She never felt this pain before in her life of eighty years. The black colored fennec vixen stayed quiet wondering why she's feeling this pain. Ewyon is the apprentice of the leader of the evil dragons Oblivion. It's been since Oblivion killed her last rider; she started having these mixed feelings. Then the feelings she felt after she injured the gold colored dragon Samson.

Minutes later, she saw Sandra morphed to her white dragon form. Ewyon watched as the white dragon inhaled a vast amount of air and expelled a column of fire incinerating her daughters' body. The fennec vixen stayed quiet as the white vixen walked up to her minutes later. "Are you ok?" Ewyon asked Sandra.

The artic vixen nodded and replied. "I did that because it's better that I did that to her body instead of scavengers eating her body. She deserved better then dieing for Oblivion." Sandra said stopping and looking at the fire that uses to be her daughter.

The black fennec vixen stayed quiet following the artic vixen.

Hours later, outside the valley.

Sandra stomped down the trail gritting her teeth. She was just thrown out of Oblivions' group. Due to the lost of her daughter, she didn't go to Samson's' group due to them being responsible of Cynthia's' death. "I am just going to find a quiet place to live my life and someday find a male companion." Sandra thought to herself walking down the trail.

A few weeks after the events of chapter 7, Yellowstone National park Wyoming.

Oblivion stood on a bluff looking at a clearing. The leader of the evil dragons moved his lair after he reassumed leadership. In his dragon form, he looked over to the human Charles looking at a pack of wolves attacking a male bison. "So, these lesser wolves hunt in a pack to slay a larger prey?" His thoughts went into the humans' mind.

Charles grinned as he watched the wolves do fake attacks to wear the bison down. "It's a tactic they been using for thousands of years leader. I just wish the Dire wolfs were still around, those wolves make these grays look like puppies. They were big; they hunted horses and larger prey. Right now if they weren't extinct, it will take two of them to take down that bison. I watched a special on T.V. about them; they were amazing predators' leader." The human said still nervous around the massive green dragon.

The dragon chuckled to himself feeling the fear of the human. He rather like this human a little. Milla told him how she ended up with the human who was in jail for assaulting a father for beating up his son. Oblivion watched as the wolves finally killed the bison and started to feed on it making the dragon do a reptile grin. "What's that creature?" The dragon asked as a large brown furry animal ran to the pack of wolves.

The human hissed. "A brown bear, now it will steal the kill from those wolves. I don't care what other people say, those are lazy predators. The wolves work hard in killing that bison, plus their tired from all that work and that fat lazy animal is going to take advantage of the wolves fatigue chasing them away."

"Not if I can help it." Said the dragon launching himself in the air.

Charles regained his balance watching as Oblivion dove to the bear which was four hundred yards from the wolves. He grinned as the large green dragon snatched up the bear. The dragon gain altitude and threw the bear in the air and opened his maw catching the bear swallowing it. "I heard that bear meat is usually greasy, is that true?" The human asked the dragon after he landed near him.

"BBBUUUURRRPPP!!!!!" Oblivion answered and looked at the human. "Just a little, I ate him raw, next time I'll cook one and we'll find out. Now tell me more about these Dire wolves."

The human laughed evilly. "We're lucky that the Fish and Game personal went away when you dragons showed up. This is a National park and those bears are protected."

"Now it's a dog eat dog world, survival of the fittest. This place now belongs to me and those wolves are now under my protection. Now human, tell me more about these Dire wolves." The dragon asked the human gazing at Charles with his green colored eyes.

"They were an apex predator and hunted in packs like these grays. If it weren't for wolves, there will be a lot of weak and sick animals. The wolves chase a heard and choose out the weak or sick, injured and kill them. In my opinion, they have a purpose on this planet and more useful than a bear. Back to the subject on Dire wolves." Charles said to the dragon and he explained what he learned on that show.

Oblivion watched as a large wolf snapped at a couple wolves and started to eat. "What's going on there?" Asked the dragon.

"That's the Alpha, the leader of that pack. He always has the first helping because he's the leader." Charles answered watching as the Alpha ate his fill.

The large green dragon watched in interest as the Alpha ate his fill and paced away did a series of barks. He watched as the rest of the pack commenced eating the carcass. "Not much different than us dragons." Oblivion mussed to himself.

That night, the good dragons' lair.

Troy is falling asleep holding Ewyon to him feeling the anthro fennec vixens' slim body. He rested his chin between her large ears feeling her long white head hair tickling his chin. The human really loved her even thou she morphs into a black dragon the size of a passenger jet.

Syrena watched as her mothers' lover held her with a twinge of jealousy. She has been alive for the past three weeks and has these cravings. "I am less than a month old with a sixteen year old body with the cravings of my aunt Sandra." The vixen thought to herself as she walked to the entrance of the lair.

Morgan, a bronze colored dragon was guarding the entrance of the lair. He turned to the source of noise seeing his daughter Syrena walking to the entrance. "What's going on daughter?" The dragon asked the vixen still getting used of having an offspring.

The vixen smiled at the bronze colored dragon wondering if her sire will have the answers for her conflicting feelings. "You see father, I am going to be honest with you, and I've been keeping some information from my mother and Samson." Syrena told him for some reason that she has Ewyons and his memories. "It's just that there's too much going thru my mind. Right now, I feel like taking a flight hoping that the cool night air will clear my mind." She said to the dragon.

The bronze dragon nodded and sighed. "You did the right thing of being honest with me. I think the best course of action is telling Samson about this, I hear it happens once in a great while. Samson's' mother was the last good dragon that had your gift. It happened three thousand years ago with the evil dragons. We will both go see Samson tomorrow and he might be able to help you out, I don't think he will punish you. Go ahead; take a short flight around the lake, clear your mind."

Syrena hugged the bronze dragon around the neck. "Thanks father." She walked a few steps and morphed into a black and bronze colored dragon flying away.

Salt Lake City Utah, minutes later.

It's been a hard three and half months for the eighteen year old Josh. The human male lost his family during that weird light show and creatures of fantasy showed up. "Big brutish creatures that are trying to kill me. Anthropomorphic beings showed up, my friends who are furrys are having the time of their lives now because I seen my best friend John with a blonde colored anthro female wolf built like an Amazon. He thought to himself and did a shiver. "Dragons, they also appeared on this world. These dragons make the ones on fantasy books look small because they're the size of passenger jets." Josh mumbled to himself walking to a vacant building on State Street he called home for the last three and half months. The human male shouldered the crossbow he took from a vacant pawn shop. He spent the looting time buying and taking survival stuff because for some reason, game became more plentiful.

Over the town.

Syrena glided with her wings extended feeling the cool breeze blowing on her body. Right now the dragon is the size of a Cessna 172; she knew right now she can carry a teenage human. Her mother Ewyon had a rider at her age by the memories she had. Syrena went thru her fathers' memories hearing Samson telling Morgan how to direct his fire. The young dragon slowed her forward speed just above stalling and blew out a stream of fire.

Josh's' home.

The young human dragged the gutted carcass of a large rodent thru the door when he saw a stream of a white blue fire in the sky. "That fire looks like a lit fart." He chuckled remembering the times he held a Zippo lighter to his ass to ignite farts. Some large form grabbed him and started to beat him. "Help!!" Josh yelled by instinct grabbing the knife at his waist and started to fight.

Above State street.

The young dragon heard the male scream and dove to the ground. Syrena landed in front of the building seeing a Grull wrestling with a young human male. She saw a knife flashed and stabbed the side of the brute, but the Grull punched the human. The young dragon struck.

Josh is dazed by the blow and readied the knife to strike again. He never got the chance, there's a scream that sounded like a velociraptor from the movie Jurassic Park. A dinosaur like head grabbed the brute pulling it off him by the head. The human saw a black and bronze colored dragon shake the brute like a terrier dog shaking a rat to kill it. Josh looked at the dragon as it looked at him with bronze colored catlike eyes. "Peace dude." He said dropping the knife on the grass near him backing away from the dragon a few steps.

The dragon struck quick pinning Josh to the ground with one of its forelimbs. A female voice sounded in his mind. "I am not a dude, I am a female. That's all the thanks I get for saving your life." Syrena said to the human.

The human shivered looking at the dragon that had him pinned to the ground. He has seen a black colored dragon flying around town with a human on it. Josh remembered the size of the black dragon compared to the human and shivered again looking at the black dragon that has him pinned. The human looked at the night sky for any signs of the other black dragon wondering if dragons have feelings for their young like a she wolf for her cubs.

Syrena read the humans' thoughts and spoke gently to the human. "You are right Josh, that black dragon you saw with a human on her is my mother. But I won't be comparing her to a wolf in her presence because she is big. I am her daughter Syrena and I couldn't sleep so I snuck out of the lair to fly around."

Josh looked around again and directed his gaze to Syrena. "Thank you for saving me Syrena, I did just kill a type of rodent that looks like a large Guinea Pig. Want to have some?"

The dragon looked at him and licked her mouth with a large purple colored fork tongue nodding. Syrena lifted her leg that was pinning the human to the ground. "Sure, I am famished, one thing Josh, don't go running away from me when I change."

The human watched as the dragon shimmered and an anthropomorphic vixen is standing next to him. He stared at her as she walked up to him. Josh looked at her coloring and her build noting that she only wore a bra and lion cloth. "Ok, this is different, follow me into my home." He said to the anthro vixen.

Syrena grinned looking at the human male. She watched as he light a fire and started dressing the Swoot. The vixen felt her mouth water as Josh put pieces of the Swoot flesh on metal sticks over the fire. Strange feelings went thru Syrena as the human sat down gazing at the fire and at her.

"So, how long have you been here, oh, excuse me? I meant to say tell me about yourself. How come you change into a dragon?" The human asked her.

The vixen grinned. "It's just the way my species are. I am eighteen years old and still in school until I am fifty three years old."

Josh looked at the lovely vixen liking her black fur pattern with the bronze colored fur on her front. "You're in school till you're in your fifties?" He asked in a surprised tone.

Syrena nodded watching the Swoot meat cook with her bronze colored cat like eyes. "Yeah, the class has years of aerial fighting tactics, plus years of casting spells. It's goes thru a lot of subjects." The vixen says muttering a spell that finished cooking the meat. "The meal should be done Josh."

The human pulled the metal stake examining the stick seeing that the piece of meat is thoroughly cooked. He handed the vixen the stick containing the chucks of meat and himself one. Josh and Syena talked and ate their meal exchanging stories of what they been thru.

Samson's' lair, the same moment.

"You let her go for a late night flight!?" Ewyon said to the bronze colored dragon at the entrance.

Troy placed his hands on his mates' shoulders calming her. "Relax hon, let's go and get her. Morgan thought he was doing the right thing by allowing her to do this. Don't hold it against him, let's get Sandra and Dave." He said gently to the vixen.

The black fennec vixen relaxed and nodded to the human next to her. She hugged him and looked at Morgan. "Sorry, I am still getting use to being a mother, next time contact me if she wants to do something like this again." Ewyon said to the bronze dragon who nodded.

Sandra joined the trio in her artic vixen form hugging Ewyon. "Dave is exhausted, but I think the three of us can find a hatchling that is having a late night joy flight."

The human knew a good reason for Dave's' exhaustion, Sandra has this hyper sex drive that she needs to have sexual intercourse almost every night. He was at the receiving end of her urges a couple times, the recent a week ago when Samson sent Ewyon on a scouting mission looking for Oblivions' new lair. "Alright, let's go find Syrena, don't be hard on her. Morgan told us what's going on with her, in the morning, we'll go have a talk with Samson and have him deal with this." Troy said watching as the two fem canines morph into dragons. One was a sleek black colored one and the other is a large white colored one with a stocky build. The human knew the differences of the build of the dragons. Ewyon the black colored one is built for doing complex maneuvering and casting magical attacks. Sandra the white is mainly a brawler in the air doing more physical and fire attacks. He got on the black colored dragon settling at the base of her neck scratching the course white hair running along her spine. Troy grinned as the large feathered wings flapped causing the dragon go airborne.

Sandra in her dragon form followed the black dragon going south. She liked how Troy handled the current situation by calming her sister down and listened to all the series of events. The dragon has a soft spot in her heart for Troy because she has deep feelings for her sisters' rider and mate. Sandra did hear that Syrena has both of Morgan and Ewyons' memories and both of their talents. "Poor hatchling having all of those thoughts going thru your head, no wonder you're confused. At least Samson will help you out Syrena." She thought to herself.

Josh's' hideout, minutes later.

The couple laid on the floor looking at the night sky in silence. "I just love the view of the night sky Syrena. It just makes me relax and helps me go to sleep." Josh said to the vixen feeling her hand massage his scalp.

Syrena looked at the night sky remembering the names of the different constellations from the library books John lent to Samson. One of her jobs was returning the books after she glanced thru them so John wouldn't get charge a late return fee. The vixen was about to fall asleep when a furious female voice went in her mind.

"Where are you Syrena?!" Said Ewyons' voice with the help of Sandra.

Josh saw Syrena look around in fear and he saw a large shape eclipses part of the night sky. He looks at the vixen in fear. "I think your mama is looking for you." The human said as he saw two large dragons landing near his hideout.

Ewyon morphed to her fennec vixen form looking at the warehouse. She remained calm and with her abilities noted that her daughter is in the building willingly. "I am not mad at you Syrena, Morgan told me everything. Lets' go back to the lair and in the morning we will go to Samson." The vixen said to the building.

A second later, a voice answered. "I am coming out, but I am not alone. Don't get upset when I come out with my friend because I save his life from a grull that was trying to kill him."

Troy kept his calm demeanor when his daughter walked out with a teenage boy. He studied this human trying to put an age on him which is impossible due to his emaciated condition. "We better take him to the lair because if he doesn't get help, he'll have some serious troubles later on Ewyon. One thing, if we leave him, Syrena will be mad at us and rebel again, getting him at a later time." The human said to the vixen.

"He's right sister, I know because I been thru this before." Sandra said to Ewyon. "I'll take him back to the lair."

Ewyon nodded in agreement being glad that Sandra came with them. She knew what her sister was talking about going thru this with her daughter Cynthia. "Alright Syrena, your friend is going to ride Sandra and you will follow us back to the lair." The vixen said to her daughter.

Syrena nodded watching as her mother and Sandra morphed into their dragon forms.

Josh walked up to the white dragon noticing the dragon looking at him with gray colored catlike eyes. He climbed on to her back hearing the dragons' voice telling him where to sit. The human settled himself at the area feeling the dragon taking off.

The next day, the good dragons' lair.

Samson looked at the hatchling Syrena with his gold colored eyes. In his wolf form, the leader of the good dragons ran some thoughts he hadn't access since he was a young dragon. "There are a few spells and meditation exercises I can do for you. I am glad you came to me with this at a young age because the knowledge can cause some to go insane. I will help you and you can live a normal life Syrena. Now tell me of the human you mother saw you with and is now living here." The wolf said to the young vixen.

Syrena grinned and answered, "I was flying over Salt Lake City and heard his cry for help. Saw him getting attacked by a Grull and I rescued him from being killed."

The leader of the good dragons nodded and sighed. He looked at the young dragon who is less than a month old having the same problems as his mother. Samson thought to himself for a time and replied. "Ok, he can stay with us here, but don't bond with him till if you're sure about this decision. After the bond, you're committed to him throughout your lifespan or he gets killed or other situations." The wolf said thinking of the riders his followers left behind on their world. He knew not of their fate either being dead or still alive.

Syrena nodded and listen as Samson talked to her.

Other area of the lair.

Sandra sighed as she walked to the entrance of the lair thinking of her sisters' daughter. The vixen thought of her daughter Cynthia who was killed during the great dragon fight over a hundred years ago. She didn't know which dragon killed her and she's glad that she didn't see her daughter die or she would feel loathing to a member of Samson's' followers. Her thoughts were interrupted by a voice talking to her.

"Sandra, how's Syrena doing?" Asked Awiseth, a young male gold dragon.

The artic vixen looked at the one hundred year old dragon with a smile. She talked to him because Awiseth is trying to be a friend of her. "Samson is talking to her right now; I am glad that she told us of her problems. I think that's why she did what she did a while back. Personally, I feel sorry for her, my younger sister has been thru a lot in her young life. Ewyon is a very talented dragon, but she had a rough life." Sandra said to the dragon in his dragon form. The artic vixen admired his gold colored scales and feathered wings. She noted that there are no blemishes on his hide due to Samson don't allow young dragons at the front of the fighting. Sandra knew personal experience that Oblivion has hatchlings in the middle of the fighting which leads to a high mortality rate. She felt anger at the memory because Cynthia was eighty years old when she was killed and she looks at Ewyon her younger sister as a surrogate daughter. "I am going to take a short flight and go check on Syrena." Sandra said to Awiseth.

"Wait one, I want to join you." Said the young gold dragon morphing to his canine form.

Sandra nodded looking at the young blonde colored wolf. She felt her body flush looking at the trimmed body of Awiseth. "Why did I say yes, now I'll be going at it with both Dave and Troy tonight? Sorry sis, I'll be stealing your rider for a third time. Should I find a cure for my problem....no, I prefer my illness." The vixen thought to herself wondering if she should try wolf during the flight watching the wolf go put some stuff away and walked back to her. Sandra gritted her teeth staring at the chiseled muscled body of Awiseth. "Too late to dismiss him, I just hope he won't mind sex with a vixen later on." She thought to herself morphing into a white dragon.

Awiseth morphed to his dragon form following Sandra outside of the lair. He noticed that his blood is running hot and other male dragons followed him out of the lair staring at the white dragon.

Samson's' area, a few minutes later.

"Now relax Syrena, let your mind clear.", Said the blonde colored anthro wolf as he placed his hands on the vixens' head. Samson saw a blur of images of Ewyons' life and felt her feelings of guilt when she injured him when she was eighty years old. He felt sympathy for the young black dragon as the memories went thru his mind. The wolf put up a few defense spells on his mind to keep his mind from being overwhelmed.

The young vixen relaxed and felt the gentle touch of Samson with his calming voice reassuring her that she's doing fine. Syrena stayed still and controlled her thoughts clearing her mind.

Rynn watched from the doorway with John nearby. She remembered her grandmother and known that she went thru the same problems as this hatchling. The female wolf felt sorry for Syrena because she counts Ewyon as family now.

"What's he doing Rynn?", John asked his mate.

"He's doing the first treatment; it will take a series of treatments to calm her mind. Troy thinks all those memories going thru her caused her to help Oblivion escape from us. I think Ewyons' explanation rings more true. She told me of the vision her daughter had when Milla touched her. Syrena was avoiding what would of happen if Milla ruled the evil dragons." Rynn said to John as Shaun walked up to them.

"Rynn, most of the young male dragons just left following Sandra.", Said the copper colored fox.

Rynn looked at Shaun with a puzzled look. "Now why didn't you join that flight of dragons?"

The male fox shrugged, "I am only interested in Lynn and I am four hundred years old and I can control my urges."

John gave the fox a puzzled look and resumed watching Samson treat Syrena. A minute later, Samson removed his hands from Syrena and talked to the vixen for a minute letting her leave.

Syrena walked up to the group grinning, "I am feeling better, but your father says that I got see him in a couple of days."

Rynn nodded at the young dragon, "Glad that you're starting to feel better. I need to talk to my father."

John watched as Rynn talked to Samson who leaned back on his chair putting a hand on his head, "He's taking it well, as you just guessed; Sandra is doing a mating flight. I wonder who gets to catch her." Shaun said in a questionably manner walking away, "Find out when we get to see the egg."

Later, inside the lair.

Sandra walked back in the lair feeling a bounce in her step. The artic vixen gave Awiseth a kiss and walked to her area to sleep. As she fell asleep, she felt as if over a hundred years of tension left her body, "Just might do wolf once in a while as treatment." Sandra thought to herself as she went to sleep.

Nearby Syrena looked at her aunt holding Josh to her body. The vixen kissed the humans' hair falling asleep.

Troy holding the sleeping form of Ewyon looked at his daughter holding the human Josh. He did have a chance to talk to the teenage male liking him. "Just watch them for now and have Sandra give them advice. I'll just give her space for the time being." The human thought to himself giving his mate a kiss between the ears.
