Chapter One

"A Brave New World"

By

Furry Sith Lord

The memories of battles once fought were forgotten as the world moved on with it's lives. Once species thought they were smart and they had reached the pinnacle of evolution. Once they thought that because they had not become extinct like other species had that they were perfectly suited to rule the planet we live on. Once if a species was born with rare white fur, which was once thought to be a genetic defect, then that species must be eliminated to keep the bloodlines pure. Once species believed a lot of foolish things... but they know better now...

Over the last few years it had been reported on social media platforms that new species of insects had been discovered that were never seen before. There were other species that were on the endangered species list and society was trying to prevent their extinction. The fear was, what kind of economic impact would the world face from their extinction?

An old species of panther had been rediscovered that was once thought to have become extinct. What was uncertain was if they had actually died out and somehow managed to have their predecessors give birth to them again or had some just not been seen and thought to have been extinct when they weren't.

Like the mathematician said in the movie Hoomastic Park, 'life finds a way.' So it was that a shrewdness of hairless apes had been growing in number as the civilized world ignored their primitive ways. They hid in caves and in dangerous places that no civilized species ever wanted to venture into. Just like rare white fur species were born to other species, the hairless apes had one rare white skin born to them and they believed that he would lead them to a better life.

"You don't know what you're talking about!" Lyon shouted, the hurt in his voice was apparent. I sat back and sighed trying to remain neutral although I doubted I would stay that way for long.

"You just don't understand," Our dad replied to him trying to keep his voice calm. Ben sat silently next to me as we watched and waited because I knew my father's attention would be drawn to this argument soon. It was strange to see my brother and our dad arguing and even though the argument was extremely petty it was still a rarity to see.

"We put a lot of work and practise into that routine and you dare say it's garbage?!" Lyon shouted and I suddenly felt a cold chill behind me as I realized our father was standing behind me just watching silently.

"That's not what I'm saying!" Our dad shouted back.

"What is the meaning of this?" Father asked softly and both dad and Lyon became silent as they turned to face him. Ben squeezed my paw as he was in awe that father didn't need to raise his voice to get the room's attention. As a matter of fact 'I' was the only one that raised my voice to him and he did the same to me but I don't remember him doing it to anyone else.

Though he was a regular old red deer and mere Prey to Carnivores like us, he had a way to make even the strongest Carnivore quiver in fear. He and I would go at it toe to toe and the only reason he won was that he played the 'I'm your father' card on me every time then punished me. Species find it hard to believe how alike the two of us are. Even though neither of us would admit it publicly, it was a source of pride that I am my father's son.

Leggo, our dad, and Lyon were alike and Lyon tended to take after him as well. Father and I had brilliant minds while dad and Lyon were more athletic. Though don't confuse my brother for being a dumb jock because his grades are outstanding but he couldn't see the things that my father and I could.

He was physically and mentally abused by the adults that gave birth to him because of his fur color and it was dad that stood by his side and helped him through it in ways I couldn't. Lyon would get terrible nightmares and often wet the bed because of them. It was dad that helped love and support him to help him pass that phase. He would hide it from me because he was embarrassed to tell his brother even though I understood and would never make fun of him for it.

Lyon is a white lion and I am a white tiger. We became brothers when our adults sold us as slaves. At the time species with rare white fur were considered evil and were hated by everyone... except our parents. One day our dad, Leggo, convinced his husband, Lou, to buy us and later they freed us and made us their sons.

While at a special boarding school I met Benyamin who is a white tiger like myself. We fell in love and have been dating ever since minus a few hiccups along the way. Father asked Ben to come live with us when he learned his family didn't want him. He's not officially adopted so he and I can still date without it being weird or anything but it is another reason why I love my father so much, he has a kind heart behind his ruff interior.

"Dad said our routine is garbage!" Lyon said.

"That's not what I said at all! I just said it might be nice if you mixed it up and changed the moves to look more like the players on TV." Dad replied, trying to not shout like Lyon was but his temper was getting the better of him too.

"Lyon," Father replied and his voice silenced them as he glared at them for acting so foolishly... At least that was how it appeared to me. Then I saw father look at me disapprovingly as if I should be ashamed for not commanding the room the way he was.

Now I was ready to start screaming for embarrassing me in front of my boyfriend. Though my heckles, if you could call them that, were standing on end and Ben silently watched trying to stay out of it.

"Problem?" My father forcefully asked me and in a second I exploded and began to argue with him and a spark from us ignited the argument between dad and Lyon. Ben remained seated on the couch but his ears were lowered as he was in the midst of us fighting with each other.

We were suddenly silenced as the maid entered and beat each of us with a broom she held. She was older than my father and she treated everyone of us as if we were children... which was how we acted at times. She was an old stork that had never been able to have children of her own so we all became her children and she made no qualms about letting us know it.

She had a force about her that was the same as father had and a word from her could stop a mighty flood in its tracks, metaphorically speaking but I wouldn't doubt it if she physically tried. Even though we lived in a mansion and she was his employee, she made no qualms about putting any of us in our places.

Though father was rich because his family owned numerous electronic companies, that had no effect on how she treated us. Though she seemed to bully dad alot she loved him just as much as I loved my father and vice versa. Everyone had a place in the family and like it or not, it was enforced! In a way....

The maid entered holding her broom and at the end of it she banged on the floor as if it were a cane or staff. The noise immediately silenced everyone as she observed us.

"Aww fuuc..." Dad was about to swear when she looked at him and he instantly fell silent. She glared at each of us then she sweetly smiled at Ben as he sat there nervously.

"Honey," She said to him. "I got some of your favorite food wrapped up in the fridge. Go make yourself a plate." She said it as both a friendly offer and a strict command. Ben nodded and scurried out to avoid her wrath as the rest of us waited for her correction. We were just hoping she didn't turn her broom on us.

She marched in front of us as we stood in line as if she were a drill sergeant. Even father seemed concerned though he tried to hide it! She was suddenly distracted as Lyon raised his paw and she acknowledged him.

"Um... Can Dash eat dinner with us? Ma'am!" He asked softly then father and her gave him a look and he straightened himself up.

"Of course," Father replied and she looked at him. He looked back at her in surprise. "You love it when Dash eats over, It gives you an excuse to cook more." Father replied and she shrugged then patted him on his head.

"Now then... someone, other than this dumb wolf," She said indicating dad. "Better explain why I hear all this yelling and screaming. And we'll do it quietly." She said

"Dad said that the dance moves Dash made are stupid," Lyon said softly as he was looking at his feet.

"I did not!" Dad said firmly and she hit him with the broom. "Oww, What was that for?" he asked her as he rubbed his head.

"You just had that coming. I don't know how or why... yet but I know you had that coming." She said

"Son," Father said after sighing deeply. "This is my fault because I was talking to your dad because the anniversary of the day we... bought you is coming up and I thought it might be a nice surprise if I made some professionals amp up your routine so that you guys look really good dancing out there. I even wanted to get some professionals to juice up your mixtape. I didn't realize your dad would ruin the surprise." he replied and the maid hit my dad with the broom again.

"See! I knew you had it coming."

"Oh...oh..." Lyon said and he immediately broke formation and ran to hug dad burying his face on his shirt. "I'm sorry for all the mean stuff I said." Lyon sobbed and dad looked at the maid for permission and when she nodded he hugged Lyon and whispered to him.

Meanwhile she turned and looked at father and myself and I forced a smile like Uncle Mel used to when he used to be Merrik.

"Well? You two gonna hug?" She asked. Father skeptically looked at me and I skeptically looked back at him and we both instinctively extended our paw/ hoof and shook them. I then made my move and I rushed close to hug him as he swore under his breath.

"Check," I whispered to him as I now had the upper paw on this battle of wits.

"I love you more than anything and would do anything for you." He stated as he hugged me back. Now that I was the one swearing under my breath. "Knight takes Pawn." he whispered back to me. Neither of us will let it go without a fight but the one thing I was proud of was my ability to beat him at chess and this was a battle I wasn't gonna lose!

"Father?" I asked as he was about to leave.

"Yes?" he replied as he raised an eyebrow

"So what am 'I' getting on the anniversary?" I asked, getting the dig in that he spoiled the surprise for Lyon. I gave him a Merrik smile just to sink my point in.

"For once you won't be grounded." He wrenched a smile back and left the room.

"I swear you two are like twins sometimes." The maid remarked then she patted my head. "Go join your boyfriend and get yourself something to eat." She replied then she walked away and I sighed and made my way towards the kitchen.

It had been days since he last washed himself and his clothing was tattered and had large holes in it as he made his way through the forest. His white fur was now dirtied to look as a dark grey from the mud and grime on him. He had fought the urge to lick himself clean but he just couldn't bring himself to act like a homeless one even though he was homeless.

BH had been in hiding after the destruction of the WC and though he had heard about his old home being transformed into something called The Diamond Community and Bear had become an actor to sell soda. He refused to believe it. Sanic was now the mayor and the species were very pleased with his performance, that was all it was to BH, a weak performance.

He went out in search of allies to help liberate his home but that had led him to wander lost in the wilderness living as if he was a homeless one. He felt as if something or someone was following him but he couldn't see who it was. He just felt the presence of unseen eyes watching and waiting.

His trek was caught short as he stopped at a river flowing rapidly through the path he was on. He debated whether he should try to swim across or not because the current looked pretty strong. He was also starving and couldn't see any fish he could catch.

Something struck him on his shoulder and he fell to the ground and looked to see a firm melon or some kind of fruit but he was more bothered by the pain he felt to focus on what it was exactly. He grabbed it and figured he'd eat it later then he saw another one land next to him and realized they had been thrown at him. He dodged and tried taking cover behind a tree and looked around to see if he could see the attackers.

He thought he heard the cries of primates and was surprised to find some out here.

"I mean you no harm!!!" He shouted in the common language hoping the primates could understand him since he couldn't speak their native language. He looked around anxiously then another piece of fruit hit the tree he was using as a shield.

He started running as panic set in and he was now going the opposite path thinking that if he left their territory he might halt their attack on him. He ran only a few seconds but it felt as if he had been running for miles. He started to ledt himself slow down and he eventually stopped to catch his breath.

He let his ears perk up as he listened and heard nothing but silence. This troubled him more because he had disrupted the normal order of things and his presents was still known. He leaned against a tree and examined the fruit he was still holding. It looked like a mango olr a pear but he wasn't entirely sure what it was. It had a hard outer shell and he guessed it had a juicy interior. He felt something hit his head and he was falling as he saw a bright flash of white light in his vision

Bh woke up sometime later with a headache and he felt himself bound as he tried to look around. His eyes hurt from the bright lights and he saw he was wearing only his fur as he lay in a wooden cage tied together by vines. His paws were bound behind his back and his legs were bound in the frog position as they called it.

He moved and sat upright and looked around while his eyes adjusted themselves. He saw evening had set in and he was in the midst of a village made up of grass hut houses. The only light was a large bonfire in the center of the village.

He noticed a plate of dried bones was sitting in the cage with him and he wondered why they had left them in here. Were they to tell him of his fate? Or did they think he was some kind of dog that eats bones? Even dogs in cities don't eat raw bones but have specially made treats in bone shapes. Not that a wolf like himself would lower himself to acting like a regular old canine.

He noticed a female ape that had little hair walk by and look at him. She wore a ruff animal skin that covered her breasts and broad hips. She looked as if she had given birth before but he didn't see any offspring with her.

"Hey, hey lady! You gotta let me outta here." He said in the common language. She looked at him blankly then said a single word to him in whatever language they speak.

"What?" He replied but he knew she had no idea what he said and vice versa. He growled in frustration and he saw the panic in her ape features. He tried repeating the word she said and she looked at him as if she had swallowed her tongue. Several other hairless apes like her gathered around his cage as they mumbled to each other.

"Hueman," he heard several of them repeating to each other and he wondered what it meant. Suddenly two large well endowed males carried something that looked like a throne to his cage and set it down near it. A male with white skin approached the chair then sat on it. Judging by his size and how old he looked he seemed cub age compared to the others. He was only wearing some animal skin that covered his waist and private areas.

He sat on the chair and looked at BH questioningly as if he were studying him. Then the boy hopped down from the throne and crawled on all fours like a young pup towards the cage.

"Stoph!" BH said as he repeated the word the older woman had said. The boy immediately stopped moving as he stared at him. He knew he had their attention but now what should he do?

"Hueman," BH said as he repeated the word the others had said. He saw the boy flinch and used his hand to touch his chest. BH repeated the word and the boy shook his head so he guessed the boy's name was Hueman.

"BH," He said and he used his nose to touch his chest then he repeated the word and touched his chest a second time.

"Woof Woof!" The boy said and pointed at him. He guessed his language must sound like barking to them.

"BH" He repeated.

"Woof Woof." The boy repeated back. BH shook his head in disappointment that they couldn't understand him. The boy reached out and touched his dirtied fur.

"Guess they're gonna skin me so that you get a new pair of underwear, huh." BH said mostly to himself though the lad was still watching him.

"Woof," The boy said and BH shook his head then repeated the word 'woof.'

"Am I hearing things or is that unintelligent creature repeating Hueman's name?" One of the hairless apes said to a male counterpart.

"He is a prophet of Gawd, it makes sense that even the animals would know who he is. They are all subject to us by Gawd's authority." The male replied.

"Hueman, be careful, he may bite you!" His mother said to the boy.

"I want him as a pet. His fur is white like mine and he knows my name and can speak it. It must be a sign from Gawd." The boy said and the others grudgingly nodded. They disagreed but refused to speak out against the prophet given to them from the Great Alpha. The boy may be right and who were they to speak out against him?

"He's so dirty," Someone remarked observing the state of how BH looked.

"Then I'll wash him." Hueman replied announcing his decision to the group.

"You'll need a leash or he may run away and wander off and get lost. Animals like him are not as smart as we are. That is why Gawd made them our servants." One of the elders said. He was one of the new allowed to teach and discuss matters over with the prophet.

"Then I'll teach him." Human replied and he reached inside the cage and began to pet the white wolf. The wolf made a groaning noise then a soft growl at the boy but Hueman paid him no mind as if he knew the wolf wouldn't hurt him.

"Woof Woof is a good boy," The lad said and the wolf looked up at him. "See he even knows I'm calling him by his name." Hueman smiled.

Benyamin stood next to one of the kitchen counters and slowly ate a plate of food as I entered to do the same.

"I'm not even sure what I want." I said as I opened one of the refrigerators and looked around.

"Some of your dad's burgers are in the next one." Ben replied with his mouth full.

"You know what I haven't eaten in ages? Venison. Used to love it but everytime I see it it feels like I'm eating my father's carcass and I can't bring myself to do it." I explained.

"There's lamb," Ben told me.

"I ate enough of that at The White Citadel to last me a lifetime. That guy they saddled me with, BH the white wolf, ate nothing but lamb, for some reason, and force fed it to me." I explained.

"He was your papa, right?" Ben said and I glared at him.

"Don't act so smug he was almost your papa too!" I scoffed.

"Well I know you still have that toy he gave you... saving it for something special?" Ben jeered at me as I turned to look away. I didn't want him to see the embarrassment I felt.

"All things considered it was a nice gift and I'd feel bad throwing it out." I replied.

"But why do you need it when you have the real thing?" He asked as he pointed to his groin.

"It was... supposed to get me used to the fact that one day we might start mounting each other. I mean the thought of it makes me feel... disgusted and uncomfortable but when my father explained how things work he said it's quite pleasurable... I dunno. I'm just embarrassed when I think of it and if I did use it I don't think I'd ever be able to look at you or my parents or my brother ever again. The thought is just so... embarrassing." I said blushing and Ben reached out his paws and grabbed and hugged me.

"It's OK Bae, the only thing that matters is that I'm with you." We were about to kiss when Dash and Lyon walked in. We separated as Lyon made 'kissing noises.'

"Shame shame, I know your name!" Dash jeered at us and I looked at him.

"What does that even mean?" I scoffed back at him.

"Ben and Tyger sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love and then comes paw tying. Then someone delivers to you a baby in a carriage." Lyon mocked us and I punched him on his arm. Lyon then started whining that I punched him too hard when I felt that I hadn't hit him hard enough.

"Hey at least his has a boyfriend unlike you two losers." Ben said.

"Hey the bitches can't keep their paws off of us, we just ain't gonna settle down with just one." Dash replied and he flinched as I raised my paw acting like I was gonna hit him. He then bleeped me thinking I was not looking but before I could move Ben slapped him on the back of his head. It wasn't a hard blow but Dash started whining like a little bitch.

"Yeah," Lyon said weakly and I saw him look down at his feet. I grabbed my brother and hugged him as I pulled him next to me. I knew the true story about their relationships and didn't want to embarass them more.

Truth was a number of cheerleaders at school were after Lyon but he wasn't interested in long term relationships because of two reasons. One- he was focused on sports and his schoolwork. Two- the male adult that sold him used to belittle him and mocked saying if he ever had children of his own they would be deformed mutants. He had always feared that it was true!

Dash on the other paw was considered to be a jerk and none of the ladies wanted to be involved with him. Lyon knew it bothered him so he didn't want his friend to feel bad that he wasn't liked.

Either way Dash and Ben were our family as much as our parents were and as much as Lyon and I are brothers. We love each other even though we also pick on each other from time to time.

"OK you're on!" Ben suddenly exclaimed as we all turned to look at him."

"What?" I finally asked, disrupting the silence.

"Game of Capture the Flag, Tyger and me onto you two." Ben said and I really didn't want to play but I forced a smile when I saw how excited Dash and Lyon were.

To Be Continued...
