Chapter 1: The Beginning:
Many years ago on a far away world called Xeon, a planet much like earth,
there lived a clan of anthro dragons. They kept to themselves and didn't
use any science or magic. They lived off the land and fiercely guarded
there territory not allowing outsiders to venture on there land. They where
black scaled dragons, the males where big and muscular hunters standing
12 feet tall on average and the females where not as muscular but still
in good shape standing up to 11 foot at the most.
They lived in cliff side caves that all faced the same direction. They
where reptilian dragons, looking more like biped lizards. When it was time
to lay there eggs they would go into a special cave that was fiercely guarded
by the biggest males in the clan.
It was there central hatchery where all the eggs where kept to be raised
by the clan. There was one dragoness who had never had a clutch of eggs
and she was already 150 of her 200 year life span. She wanted desperately
to have a clutch but even with the number of males she had mated with she
had never had any.
Eventually the males stopped having anything to do with her, but one
day a new male arrived in the clan and asked her is she really would do
anything for a clutch. She agreed and the dragons mated but little did
she or anyone know that this dragon was a demon is disguise. After that
the dragon disappeared leaving no real trace it was ever here. Since the
clan did not have names nor did they ever she would not ask around to see
who it was and it would be bad if anyone found out he was an outsider.
The 5 seasons came and went, they mated like others in the late fall
so then winter came and then the storm season. The warm up from winter
to spring caused massive storms to happen continuously so the caves where
put in where the elements where least likely to get in.
Eventually the storms faded away like every year and the dragoness was
very happy to see she was indeed going to have a clutch of eggs. She was
so delighted and happy; the others looked at her curiously wondering who
would mate with her.
About mid spring was the time of laying so all the dragons went in
to the nursery and one by one all the dragonesses laid there eggs. The
dragons that looked after the eggs where quite surprised to see this one
dragoness there to finally lay eggs.
Though all the other dragons had layed 3 to 6 eggs she only layed one.
She was shocked and upset; laying only 1 egg was far worse then not laying
any. Though only the dragon attendants knew who layed what eggs and how
many she still knew and it was very depressing. Once the egg was layed
she left the chamber in disgrace but since she was the last one no one
else was watching. She returned to her cave and stayed there for a while
as mot dragonesses did after laying there clutch. They would not emerge
until
summer, and then they would feast in celebration as another generation
of dragons was to be hatched. The dragoness joined in though she really
never got over the fact that she only layed 1 egg.
Things went back to normal and come early next spring the eggs where
starting to hatch. Some hatched early some hatched late but the beginning
of summer all the eggs had hatched, but there was something odd. 1 of the
hatchlings was different than the rest.
It was white with pink belly scaled and blue eyes. This was most unusual;
though not unheard of in the history of the clan. The last white dragon
to be hatched did not do well within the clan and was eventually banished
but there was no reason to do so with this hatchling yet. Growing up the
hatchling was teased and ridiculed by all the other hatchlings and dragons
except for the dragoness who layed the one egg. Somehow she new that this
was her hatchling and always looked after her and made sure she was growing
up well.
One day they took all the hatchlings on a tour of the dragon’s territory
the little white dragon got separated from the group. She wandered and
heard something crying out so she went to investigate.
What she found was an odd little creature with hooves that had a bird
like beak, reptilian eyes, a black and white furry body and 3 tails. The
poor thing was trapped under a log and in mud not able to get out.
The little hatching didn't really understand what was going on but
she somehow knew that the creature needed help, so she summoned up what
strength she could and lifted the log enough to free the little creature
and it quickly got out of the mud.
The creature bowed and changed forms to look more like the little hatchling.
She was most surprised at this. The creature smiles and touched her belly
and there where a few sparkles and it did feel a bit odd.
The creature gently pulled a flap of scales forming a pouch that was
normally completely hidden unless she's reaching in it. The creature smiles
and said "You have shown you are indeed a good soul,
your new pouch can hold whatever you want as long as you do not stretch
it too far. There is no limit to the amount you can hold." just then a
rumbling voice was heard calling out for the hatchling,
she turned around to the voice and then looked back and the creature
was gone. It was the kind dragoness looking for her and she ran up and
hugged the hatchling happy she was safe. The little hatchling showed her
the new pouch and she smiled and was very surprised. She told her that
it had to be there secret; none of the other dragons are to know about
this as they would see it as against there code of life to be that much
different and she would be banished.
Time passed and the dragoness who layed the egg grew older and the hatchling
grew up. The hatchling grew to only 8' tall quite smaller then the other
dragons and though she was nearing the end of her life the nice
dragones always looked after the white one. She took it upon herself
to talk to the elders and give this dragoness an important duty. She may
look different but she is still one of the clan. They thought about this
and decided to give this dragoness the duty of learning the history of
the clan and there written language. This was a huge honor as only a very
select few know about the written language and even less know how to read
and write it. She trained very hard in secret to learn the language and
be able to write it.
No one else but the elders and the nice dragoness knew what she was
really doing. The white dragoness wasn't allowed to tell anyone where she
spent most of her days witch just made the others tease her more.
One morning she got up and left her cave to go visit her friend the
kind dragoness, she called out but there was no reply. She went inside
the cave calling out but there was still no answer. Finally she made it
back to where the dragoness layed,
she looked asleep and quite peaceful. The white dragoness went over
to gently wake her up but she didn't wake and she was very cold and stiff
to the touch. The kind dragoness
who had layed only 1 egg her whole life and lovingly looked after the
white dragoness had passed away peacefully in her sleep. The white dragoness
was heart broken and cried out trying to get her to wake up but
it was too late, she was waking up ever again. The white dragoness
cried over the body felling so sad and helpless. Eventually when she didn't
come to her training lesson someone was sent out to find her. They found
her still crying over the body.
They left her be for the day to give her time to come to terms. It
took her a while but things finally started returning to normal for the
white dragoness. Time passed and she became very good at writing the dragonic
language.
Although she desperately wanted to join the others in the hunt or the
few that are allowed to deal with the outsiders she was not allowed. By
the time she would be 50 there was a new city on the other side of the
valley from the dragons’ home.
It was a military base and heavily fortified. The dragons and the military
had once had a small war but they came to a truce where neither would bother
the other so long as they did not cross over into each others territory.
What they where doing was anybody’s guess. In fact, they where creating the ultimate soldier. It was called "Project: Foxfang" They where almost ready to give birth to the first test subject. It was a herm as they thought why be one gender when you can have the strengths of both genders and genecily remove the weaknesses. The creature was very odd looking indeed. A mish-mash of many different species big and small. The birthing process was started and later that day a fully grown creature stood there in the lab standing up perfectly straight as a soldier should. The creature stood exactly 5' tall and has the exact colouring of a fox would on earth. Hir fur is very short straight fur; half an inch long glistens on hir hide. It fells like a horse. If you could look up close you would see that the hide seems to hint at being scaly. Looking over hir face you see hir shiny red orange coat that covers her well muscled face.
Hir eyes are red in colour and seem reptilian rarely ever blinking.
Starting between hir ears is what appears to be a long flowing mane of
blond that goes down hir long equine neck. Hir ears look like that of a
horse but with a black tip extending down 1/3 of the way.
Hir muzzle is wider then a normal, more like a horse but still looking
like a vixens. Around hir muzzle are black scales around hir lips, with
a black forked tongue flicking out to taste the air. A trail of white starts
under hir chin that clearly goes all the way down hir belly to between
hir legs and down hir tail. Shi opens her moth to have it looked at by
the scientists as shi does hir sharp teeth. Shi seems to have a set of
long retractable fangs that look like a viper's. Hir mouth is hinged together
with a flap of skin much like a reptiles.
Hir paws have 3 thick digits on them each with a hoof like fingernail;
the fingers are connected by black webbing of some kind. Shi has large
firm breasts that would be quite impressive to most that saw them. Hir
hips flare out quite wide as hir tail is long and very thick,
going right between her legs showing no breakup between body and tail
and hiding her male gender well. It also has the coon stripes and black
tip. It looks very serpentine as it sways behind hir seemingly with a mind
of its own. Hir legs are powerful looking equine legs ending in legs black
hooves. The creature salutes as the top military figures walk in to examine
hir. Hir body is very well muscled but not so much that it is bugling out,
just enough. Shi has already been implanted with enhanced abilities, more
strength, better stamina,
great agility and all the abilities shi will need when out in the field.
The military brass looked hir over and where quite pleased. They quickly
take hir to a combat training room where they have one of there best in
hand to hand combat waiting.
They test this new creature against him and shi beats him easy with
almost no effort. They put hir through many tests that day and shi passes
them all with flying colours. Shi never said anything, but that’s because
shi was created with no vocal cords.
There idea was to create soldiers who could never talk back. Shi was
only able to hiss for speech but she still had full facial features and
could read write and use computers if needed.
