Few big dog furs: growl at the cat group.
Luke: elbows Kenny in the ribs. "Stuff it ...not right now." He whispered.
Old waitress Dog: comes up to the cats "Can I help you folks?"
Steve and Kenny: making silent jokes and laughing softly in the background.
Nancy: leaning on Luke seeming very sluggish and tried.
Luke: nods, "Yeah we need a table."
Old waitress Dog: looks at them disapprovingly and then leads them to a table and gets them seated and hands them menus. "Hurry and make your minds up but then you all better just eat and go. We don't want any trouble from your kind here."
Steve: salutes the waitress. "Yes ma'am. We won't make no trouble no trouble at all." Mocks and laughs.
Old waitress Dog: gives a hard stare.
Kenny: laughs and chokes some on a sugar packet he has been pouring on his tongue.
Luke: orders for them all. "We will just all have some burgers and cokes."
Kenny: "With fries ..." looks at the others and shrugs, "Am hungry."
Steve: retort's laughing "Well if you didn't have your head in the catnip bag all the time."
Kenny: "Hey I have a health condition. I need that stuff."
Steve: "Riiight."
Nancy: "Make mine just a piece of cake and a coke."
Luke: pleads, "Nancy come on you need to eat healthier then that come on have a burger they have veggies in them that's good for you."

Dog Waitress: huffs, "I will be right back with your order."
Luke: hugs Nancy "That's real good and you can have some of the fries with some ketchup ...it's like a fruit or something."
Kenny: laughs, "Ketchup is not a fruit."
Luke: "Well no but the tomatoes are a fruit they have seeds."
Steve: "So what if they have seeds they grow tomatoes in vegetable gardens and put them in vegetable drinks. They are a vegetables."
Nancy: nods. "He has a point besides if tomatoes here fruit wouldn't ketchup be a jelly?"
Luke: "Well no I mean it's made different like tomato paste but I guess you could make a jelly with tomatoes since it's a fruit."
Steve: "No you cant. If you could make a tomato jelly there would be already one."
Nancy: "Well maybe there is somewhere out some tomato jelly...unless it is ketchup."
Luke: "No no no. Ketchup is ketchup not a jelly."

The rest of the group at the little dogs table stands up and they are huge dogs.
The cat gang run for the door.
Alone in the Wylde
by Clint
A young feline furre, Matthew, is with his sister, Maria. They were innocently walking along, relaxing, when Matthew decided to lead Maria on an adventure!
They trouble deep into the forest of the Wylde, but they're lost! Whatever are they going to do now that they can't enjoy their vacation?!
Matthew (looking to his sister): Maria! Do you know which way we came?
Maria (shakes her head): No, I can't remember now! This tree looks familiar...
Matthew (nods): Yeah, it does..
Maria: I can't even hear the waves anymore.
Matthew: Ugh! We're never going to get out of here. I think we're lost for good.
Maria (lowers her ears): W-wait, this is the Wylde...
Matthew: Yeah? So?
Maria: Don't you remember what Mom and Dad told us?.. There are Wolvens.. and Tygards..
(Maria starts to panic)
Matthew (frightened): We need to get out of here, and fast!
Maria: Let's run! --- In one direction!
Matthew (nods): Alright!
Maria and Matthew begin running; however, they seem to be going deeper into the Wylde! There are no signs of civilization.
Maria: Oh no! This tree looks familiar!
Matthew (sits down on a log): This is hopeless! We're going to have to spend our whole summer out here, lost!
Maria begins to cry. It seems all is lost for the poor children, when suddenly a beam of light shines through! Both children look up in awe to see a translucent figure; Who could it be?
Matthew: Huh?
Maria (sniffs): Who are you?
M'rill: There, there, children. I'm here to help you out!
Little do the children know that this woman is a goddess! She waves the children to her with one shining paw and they follow this odd glowing figure. They follow her carefully past the overgrown jungle, and then they finally see the end!
Matthew (smiling): The beach!
Both children run to the sand, happy they have made it back. However, the goddess stays amongst the trees.
M'rill (grinning): If you tread in the jungle, do not do so alone! Please, children, have a wonderful summer.
Maria: Thank you so much miss!
Matthew (nodding): Yes, is there anything we can do to repay you?
Before the children have time to say anything else, the goddess fades away, and there is no trace that she was ever there! The children vow to each other to never leave the beach unattended.
They enjoyed their summer, but whenever they told stories about the mysterious furre, few believed them! Still, they new that someone was looking down and smiling upon them.
Sally the chinchilla (And her BBF Bob) and their adventure at Fu
by Coca-Cola
Play starts with Sally and Bob sitting around the park of an E8+ BaH watching people decorating their gardens.
Sally: Why isn't anything exciting around here? I'm watching people decorate pink gardens and saying "OMG why didn't I think of that design!?"
Bob: Because....... We're special..... Remember we had to pay a fee to come to this BaH.
Sally: Oh yeah, that's right......We're stuck here without a house watching other people decorate pink gardens. How is that fee-worthy?
Bob: Then let's go somewhere where you're actually "excited"
Sally: Where should we go?
Bob: Remember earlier you said you wanted to go to FurN, we are 16.
Sally: Yeah, that should be exciting.
A few minutes later with Sally and Bob traveling cyberspace to FurN.
Sally: Wow.....we never came prepared for this.
Bob: You're right.....Look how different this is. People talk about real things, like global warming, not if their design is weird.
Sally: Let's join a conversation.
The girl: Wow I didn't know how bad global warming is. Thanks for teaching me, you know so much. :D
Sally: Of course, but my brainiac is Bob here.
Bob grins.
The girl: Well Bob and Sally, I have a un uploaded dream and I need another owner for it,
Bob: Sure we'll be happy to. Right Sally?
Sally: You bet......
The girl: Awesome the dream will be uploaded tomorrow and I'll find out who is the owner today.
Bob: Wait....Only one owner?
The girl: Yes. Didn't I say that?
Sally: No...
The girl: Only one of you can be an owner, I'm very sorry.
Sally: Of course we're both interested, so we won't back out. We'll have to accept one of us can't be an owner. Test me The girl.
The girl: Only two questions. Do you have any experience with dreams? Like being a staffer at one?
Sally: No.
The girl: Do you like E8+ BaH's?
Sally: Excuse me?
The girl: This is an E8+ BaH. Didn't I tell you?
Sally: No! I don't like BaH's especially E8+ BaH's? Why are you making an E8+ BaH if you're uploading it in FurN?
The girl: I didn't say that......
Sally: Well I can't be an owner then, I despise those BaH's.
The girl: Ooh despise that's a big word......;D
Sally: And neither can Bob.Right Bob?
Bob: Sure whatever you say.
Bob is squirming in his seat.
The girl:Then I should've never talked to you!
Sally: Me neither!
Sally: C'mon Bob lets go back to that BaH.
Bob: Okay.
A few minutes later back at that E8+ BaH.
Bob: Well that was exciting.
Sally:You bet.......

The Test of Summer
by Jonas Malakiahus
Setting - Sunrise over open plains flanked by dense forest. A young wolven female sits on an single lone flat rock. Her fur is black as pitch, her eyes, deep gold. As she stares out over the open plains we hear her voice.
Song At Night: I am Song at Night, One with the sweet voice, One who is both Wolf, and Not Wolf. As some would say, a Shapeshifter. Stifled by a mundane life in my village, and feeling the pull of the wild places like the moon upon the tides, I left it all behind. My pack is now my people, they have come to accept me as one of them, even though I am different. It has been a year and a day, and now my greatest test is at hand. High Summer, and I must meet the three Great Sun Spirits, and pass the tests they present to me. Some might say I am too young.. I have only been part of the Hunt nine times. But I know I am ready.
-She breaks into a run, racing across the plains until she comes to a circle of thirteen stones, in the midst of which, three fires burn. From those fires step three magnificent beings with colors of flame, a Wolf, Helaku, a Lion, Dinesh and a Horse, Shimshon.
Helaku: I am Helaku, Wolf of the Sun, I give strength and cunning to the hunters and prey alike in the long months of heat in the bright half of the year. I am Brother to Salene, the Silvery Wolf of the Moon, and I present you with your first test. Catch the fleet Hart as she flees from you, catch her, and you have passed the first test.
- Helaku turns and a small golden deer bolts from the underbrush, Song at Night gives chase. The Hart is agile, circling trees, leaping over logs, and it takes all of her skill to keep up with the animal. Finally she corners her and pins her with one paw.
Song at Night - I was told only to catch you, fleet Hart, so now that I have, you may go.
- She steps back and the Hart vanishes, She is back within the circle again, now in front of Dinesh.
Dinesh: I am the Lion of the Sun, Lord of Battles, Great Protector. As a Hunter under the great Sun, you must be fierce and without fear in protecting your kin. Face me now, and show me your courage and will.
- the Sun Lion attacks, and the two battle, but as it is only a test, the Lion uses no claws, they lunge and wrestle, leaping back only to surge forward again. Song at Night is far outclassed but she does not give in. At last Dinesh steps back.
Dinesh: You have done well, Wolf child.
Shimshon: Now for your final test, I am the swift mare, who brings in her wake each sunrise and sunset. Run with me, and show that you too, possess both speed and endurance.
- Song at Night runs at Shimshon's heels with all her might, this is the most difficult of her tests it would seem, pushing her body to run with all its might. The stone circle is soon left far, far behind. Shimshon's voice, bright and clear echoes in her mind.
Shimshon: Cunning and wise, powerful and fierce, swift and with a strong heart. Come Song at Night, feel the ground below you while you barely touch it, make the wind roar in your ears, Let your heart beat as one with the one you chase, and beat as one with the Earth itself. Run, young one, and find a freedom like no other.
- And Song at Night did run, faster than she ever had before as she felt herself One with the Sun Horse and the spirit of all things. The wind roared past as everything around became a blur, the faster she ran, the faster Shimshon became. Shimshon leapt, a firey streak in the sky, before she arched back around to face the young wolf. Song at Night skidded to a halt, chest heaving, gazing in wonder at the stunning creature as she touched her flame colored nose to her own ink black one.
Shimshon: You have passed the test, young one. Now, return to your pack, and remember what you have learned.
- Song at Night found herself back at the lone rock just before the forest. She sat upon it, and overlooked the plains again.
Song at Night: I am Song at Night, One with the sweet voice, One who is Wolf and yet Not Wolf. One who has now passed the tests of Spring, and Summer. Before me the tests of Autumn and Winter still await. But I am Cunning and Wise, Bold and Fierce, Swift and Strong of Heart. My heart beats at one with the Swift Bringer of Sunrise and Sunset, my heart beats as one with the Earth itself, and with my pack. When the time comes, I will be ready.
- Song at Night threw back her head and howled, her Song, one of triumph, her voice was pure and clear, and there was no mistaking it for another. In the distance the others answered. It was time to return home.
Domain of Summer Nights
by Katima
Teenage kitty-girl opened her eyes that Friday morning, sighing like she always did. "Whoopee. Another day of school. I'm thrilled." She muttered, bringing herself sleepily out of bed and ripping yesterday off her calendar. Dropping the page in the trash, she looked back. "Wait.. what?" Kneeling by the bin, she turned over the paper. On it was written: THURSDAY - LAST DAY OF SCHOOL. Forgetting her tired mood, she squealed in happiness and ran downstairs. Stopping at the kitchen, she turned to her mother, who was making pancakes. "This is the best.. day.. EVER!" Raising an eyebrow, her mother looked at her. "You're usually not like this, Katie, what's going on?" Katie stared for a moment, not believing what she'd just heard. "You don't know? It's the first day of Summer!" By this time, she'd traveled to the living room, where she could be comfortable. "Summer.. Friends, shopping, the beach.. but most importantly.. boys!" She fell back onto the couch. "Oh gawd, I have to be in the FLUFF pit in five minutes!" She rushed upstairs and put on a one-shoulder lavender shirt with a black music note, bluejeans, and her new gray vans, then jumped the stairs and ran out the door. "Sorry, no time!" Katie stopped running when she nearly hit the beekin statue. "Woah! Kay, there's the fluff pit." Stepping carefully down the stone stairs, she smiled. "Here. Finally." Looking around, she spotted her best friend, Brett. She smiled. "Brett! Over here!" Despite what she was saying, she went over to him. He was all alone at a table, waiting for her. "Let's go to the island.." He said. Katie shrugged and went with him, until they were the only two in the area. Brett looked at the ground. "Look.. I know.. that.. we've known eachother since pre-k.. and.. well.. Will you go out with me?" Katie was about to hyperventilate, but prevented herself. ".. Of course!"
The next morning, Katie awoke with a smile on her face. Looking at her digital clock, she noticed it was 5:00 PM. "What the..?" She shrugged, got dressed, and went down the stairs, two steps at a time. Grabbing a fizzix yogurt, she started off towards Allegria Island. Finally - she was at that beach place. Stepping towards the shore, she set out her things, and waited. About an hour later, Brett arrived. "Brett!" She smiled, hugging him. They talked for hours, until it was 10:30 at night. Their picnic had been finished a an hour ago, and finally.. "Katie, you know what?" "What, Brett?" And at the same time, without meaning to.. they muttered, "I love you." Looking straight into eachother's eyes, they understood, and their lips met. Above them was a single star, perfect and pristine, and in a way, it was a scene of just a fairytale. Brett pulled away. "I have.. a promise." And with that, he handed her a rose and dissapeared. That night, Katie went home, fell asleep, then the next morning walked by her kitchen, her clock, everything, and lay down on the couch, and murmured, "A promise.." For there was who knows what to come.
For of that summer night, there was nothing but a memory. A memory of Brett, who was never seen again. If there was a way, then Brett might of dissapeared right off the face of the earth. But, no.. he was simply.. never seen.
The Immortal Garden Snake
by Kitsune-kun
"But WHY?!" pleaded Aegis.
"Because you must! Ptach will be very upset if you do not do what you are told." replied Khenemet.
"But-but.."
"NOW!"
"W-wait just a second! What was the job anyways?" Aegis whimpered
"Young child! Don't tell me you already forgetten about your job! The mud bricks are starting to crumble, and you must lift them upon the platform the soilders have set up for you. Our pharaoh will not accept the fact that you are slacking off on his burial temple!"
"The old fart is probably going to die before the damn thing is finished."
Aegis sighed.
Khenemet snapped "Don't speak of our great king like that, young one! The gods will punish you! ...Unless you wish for your tounge to be bathed in sand?"
"Rubbing sand all over my tounge is better than working for that old bag of rotting meat!" Aegis growled.
"T-That's it!! On you go! A-And don't came back! Y'hear that, young one?!" The Khenemet shouted.
Aegis groaned "Hm? AH! You didn't need to push me! AH! Stop poking me with that rusty ol' staff! I'm going, I'm going...."
"For the love of Ra..." Aegis growled.
"Is thou enjoying the cool weather of the palace?"
"What?" Aegis said.
"You, the tan colored scout. Shouldn't thou be in the boiling sun? Every other soilder and scout is out lifting bricks, why aren't you?"
"Rin..." Aegis mumbled.
Rin growled "Don't 'Rin' me! As the pharaoh's daughter, I have every right to say who works and who dies!" Aegis snorted
"Don't get cocky with me, Rin. I was just about to go outside.."
"Oh really?" Rin quirked.
"Yea...really..." Aegis sighed.
"Well..too bad. Thou is not going anywhere!" Rin blurted.
Aegis yelped "...What's that..?
"Hm?" Izu mumbled. "What is it, brother?" Zaq sighed.
"Do you hear that?" Izu groaned.
"Yes, it sounds as if of the king's men are flogging another of their slaves again. By the screaming, I can guess it's getting quite bloody. The poor guy must be dead by now." Zaq replied.
"Oh well, let's continue with our work, these bricks our quite the load, hm?" Izu mumbled.
Zaq groaned "I suppose so, brother..."
"SOMEONE HELP ME! THIS GIRL IS INSANE!!" Aegis screamed.
"No..WAIT! You can't go outside with those wounds! COME BACK! The soilders are going to think I did something to you!" Rin pleaded.
"What?! Think?! She really must be nuts if the soilders already know she could do that kind of stuff! Oooh...my back.." Aegis thought.
"Brother..." Zaq sighed.
"What is it?" Izu snorted.
"There appears to be a cloud of dust moving quite fast from the palace. It a sandstorm coming on?" Zaq said.
"..Sandstorm?! Why, there isn't even a flick of wind today, brother! What makes you think that anyways?" Izu mumbled.
"Well brother, it appears to be quite large."
"Moron, it's just a giant army of small garden snakes traveling across the Desert. Do you have no brain at all, brother?"
"Oh..I didn't know garden snakes could live out here..."
Aegis whimpered "Agh! These sand hills are hot! Well..atleast I got rid of that crazy Rin. You can kind of see the others from here..I wonder what those two hounds are looking..?"
"Hm? Why did it get all dark all of the sudden?" Aegis whimpered.
"Sire, should we place them here?"
"Yes, go ahead. These bricks already have cracked. A scout was supposed to go place them uopn the other sets but he did not arrive. It's a shame the others will have to go make a entire new set after all of their hard work, hm?" "Wise words, my lord."
"Ahem, y-yes. Of course. Nothing worse from the great King himself, no?"
"Of course sire..."
"Huh? What are those blocks....oh snap." Aegris whispered.
"Urm..sire..the second we placed the bricks on the ground, they bursted and fell upon one another."
"Well they're gone! Continue lifting those bricks on the platform! I want my temple finished by Tuesday, got it?!"
"Of course, my lord..."
Zaq gasped "Brother! Did you see that?!"
"See what?" Inzu snorted.
"The garden snake army has blown up an entire months worth of bricks!" Zaq shouted.
Izi sighed "Is that so?"
"And that is why the Garden Snake is the most feared and immortal creature known to date in the history of Furres and Man Kind." The old at the end of story moral voice said
The Amulet of M'Rill
by Mielikki Magnor
ARIANA: A fortnight have I traveled, avoiding the Queen's sentries which patrol the roads, the suspicious glares of countrymen who trust no stranger, and finally I stand before the gates of Arad'dun. The locket I seek – the object stolen from my mother so long ago, the amulet of M'Rill – is now within reach. I have but to grasp.
[She begins to climb the other wall of Arad'dun, but a GUARD spots her and drags her down, followed by his companions.]
GUARD: Remain where you fall, feline! You have no business on our ramparts, much less within our city. Or do you? Tell me what provokes such foolishness.
ARIANA: [...]
GUARD: Your silence indicts you. By order of the queen, no soul moves beyond these walls, including we who guard the outer way. Judgment begins and ends with us, and we're just as inclined to settle this swiftly, with a stroke of the blade. Again, I ask: why are you here?
ARIANA [Aside]: My cause will no doubt be lost on his canine ears, but what choice have I? If I say nothing, all is surely lost.
ARIANA: I come to reclaim that which has been stolen, the sigil of my Prime, my birthright. I serve M'Rill, the Lady of Agility, and your Queen has taken what she does not deserve.
[GUARD backhands her, cutting her lip.]
GUARD: I admire your bravery, but not your insolence. Did you really believe that we would allow such an insult? Our Queen takes what she wills. And this amulet is hers now, regardless of how she obtained it: by our law, you are no more than a common thief. Still your tongue! Make your peace with the primes, for you will not see daylight.
[GUARD draws his sword, but stops when he notices commotion out of the corner of his eye. In walks an immaculately dressed canine, and all bow before her, save Ariana, who remains on the ground.]
QUEEN: Rise. Tell me, what filthy weed have you found growing on our palace walls? Could it be the one the dreamweaver spoke of, the one who is to come for the Amulet of M'Rill?
GUARD: She is the one, my Queen.
QUEEN: Your brazenness amuses me, young one. The gate has been barred for weeks, with no entry or exit. Look at the what I wear around my neck. Is this what you seek?
ARIANA: What you wear is what I rightfully own. Surrender the amulet and let me be on my way, or the primes will know that there is no justice in the land of Arad'dun.
QUEEN: [Snickering] Such tenacity! A moment ago, I was inclined to have my guards finish you. But very well. Let's see if you have a divine claim on this amulet. Is the Prime of Felines with you? I wear the magic, and the agility is with me: no sword can match my swiftness. But I grant you a chance. Guards, give her a sword.
ARIANA [Aside]: What she says is true, so let me raise my voice to the Lady M'Rill, the one who knows the truth of my claim. She knows this amulet from days of old, passed down from mother to daughter in acknowledgment of our devotion. Hear me now, O Lady, for I have always been just in your sight. I do not posses the amulet, but a steadfast heart. Let this be my magic, that which guides food and hand.
[ARIANA rises and throws herself at the QUEEN, who easily dodges the blade. The QUEEN laughs at two or three other attempts, patting ARIANA on the head each time she passes by. Slowly, however, the feline's movements quicken, and the canine has to concentrate in order to avoid each stroke. Her confidence raising, ARIANA feints to the left and then drags the sword across her body, mortally wounding the QUEEN across the belly. After she falls, ARIANA removes the amulet from her neck.]
QUEEN: How? How did you manage...
ARIANA: A mighty tool is the amulet, my Queen. You used it well. But it is a true weapon only in the hand of one who serves the Lady of Agility, its power amplified by the bearer's drive to do right by the prime. You are no worthy owner. Sleep well, my Queen, for your lesson has ended.
[The guards exit in exasperation while ARIANA remains kneeling next to the Queen, praying silently in thanksgiving.]

Eternal Nights
By Orangetails
As time passes, ghosts habit this world.
A feline by the name, "Hiro" goes to investigate a disappearance in the "Eternal Nights" house south off the AI seas, and so our story takes place here, in the southern regions of Furcadia.
Rain falls from above Hiro, as he passes through a graveyard, in front of the "Eternal Nights" house.
As he walks to the front door, he notices something on the door nob, it was a Flash Light, Hiro thought it might come in handy, so he takes it, and enters the house through the door. Hiro turned on the Flash Light, and proceeded to walk around, he came encountered with stairs that lead upward, he walked up to see some sort of portable vacuum cleaner, it looked different for some reason, but, he kept it with him. He enters the attic of the house, and finds it's covered in cob webs, he takes the vacuum cleaner and with a ‘Swoosh!' the cob webs where gone, Hiro saw a hole in the floor, as he looked through it, he saw something on the ground downstairs, he left the attic to grab it.
Hiro finds out it's a Key to the ground floor, Hiro takes it and proceeds to downstairs to find some sort of person, thought it wasn't a person at all! It was a bound ghost that charged at Hiro, but, Hiro dodged to the side, and pulled out some Sacred Water, and hit the Ghost with it, the ghost let out a loud shriek in pain, as the ghost disappears, one out of the three workers that have disappeared, wakes up, and runs through the door, "Thanks for helping me, I ought to get out of here!".
Hiro continues his search for the two other missing workers, he comes across a dead end at the end of the hall, and Hiro inspected the hallway, for any levers or switches, but found none...
Hiro leads against a wall, and sighs, then suddenly, the wall flips, and Hiro falls down into the dark Abyss.
Minutes have past...
Hiro wakes up to find out he's surrounded by Ghosts, Hiro takes out some sort of magic powder, and shoots it up in the air, the ghosts started to melt on contact, Hiro got away in time.
Hiro found some steps that lead upwards.
As Hiro walked around up the spiral stairs, he thought where the other two workers are, so once he got up to the top, he was in a secret room!
A ghost, different from the last ones, came charging at him pretty fast, Hiro took the last of the Powder, and threw it at the ghost, the ghost let out a high pitched shriek as it disappeared, the other two Workers were found, the Workers talked to Hiro, that they saw a passage that led to the bottom floor. The workers found this door on the ground, and opened it, Hiro jumped down, to see that he was back at the entrance, the workers followed Hiro, "Mr. Hiro, please save our boss, he's somewhere around this place, and we're worried about him, at this rate, he should still be alive, we were separated at the kitchen, I hope you can find him!" the two workers left through the creaky door.
Hiro investigated the kitchen , and found radioactive goo on the floor, Hiro also sensed something under the kitchen plating, Hiro grabbed a pole from his bag, and flips the tile right over, Hiro knew it was a secret door, as he jumps down...
Hiro lands on his feet, perfectly, as he sees this ghost with millions of hands, "This must be... the Kusabi!" the Kusabi is a mystical ghost that could kill anything it touches, hopefully, the Kusabi didn't kill the boss yet- "Woah!" Hiro said as he dodged a fireball. Hiro counter attacks with Sacred Water and Holy Water, but none of them had any effect on the Kusabi, as the Kusabi shot more fireballs at Hiro, the vacuum cleaner started to faintly glow, so Hiro turn it on, and the Fireball's were reflected off the vacuum and hit the Kusabi, the Kusabi shrieked in pain as the building starts shaking, the Boss appeared out of the Kusabi, "Boss, let's get out of here!"
Hiro and the boss came out of the Mansion, and turned back, as a beam of light, and spirit orbs appeared to be flying upwards, "They're finally going back to where they belong..." Hiro said, "Thank you for saving us, Detective Hiro, your reward is 100 Dragon Scales" the Boss said, "Thank you Mr. Boss." Hiro replied.

Cat1: Sighs and waves her hair from her face "Praise has done little but increase the suns heat....I wish to see an end to it, not an extension."
-A silence passes over at her words as the sun keeps beating down hard upon them.
Cat2: Twiddles her hair with her right paw nervously "Don't say such nonsense! The Primes will find a way when they feel it is time to give us relief...."
Cat1: "I would not hold my breath, I still have faith but with my hope gone....my faith will deplete as well as the waters."
-Another silence passes buy as a mysterious canine passes by them, carrying a stick at his right paw as he uses it to walk and keep his support, he looked their age, young adult, .yet he was weakened by the sun. Panting heavily. White clothes were ragged and his brown fur covered in a variety of dust and small bits of gravel, as his brown/blonde hair sways slowly
-Canine: "Many moons and glaring suns are giving this dog a rough time..." he sighs and sits down in the sand, it felt cool compared to the hot air, but the cool slowly faded to a heat, as he felt near collapse, the feline at the left gasped and walked over to him.
Cat1: "Are you alright traveler?"
Canine:"Yes...but I grow weary from the travel without a supply of moisture to give me focus....I think I might pass on."
Cat1: "I won't have that...."
-The feline picks him up with a paw and lets his arm over her neck as she steadily walks him over to the hut, the other feline opens the door for them and walks in after they do....inside he sits down on the floor, refusing to sit in a chair, but accepts the drink of water graciously from the black haired feline.
Canine: "Many thanks for this."
Cat2: "We do not mind having a visitor....especially one in need of help."
Cat1: Looks at her with a sigh, knowing she was gonna say something else...but looks back at the canine "If you need anything else we would be glad to help.."
Canine: He simply shakes his head "I need only some food and water."
Cat1: Nods and smiles softly "That can be arranged." as she sat next to him, the other feline doing the same.
Canine: "The waters from where I once lived have vanished, and I came here to find refuge....either way I knew it would be risky...but either way I also knew I would die, and that could not happen....I wanted to survive."
Cat2: Looks at him with a curious look in her green eyes "You also had an inspiration?"
Canine: "Yes, my mate died unfortunately from the heat." he looked down "I wanted to live on for her sake, thats what she would do."
Cat1: Strokes his cheek sympathetically "I have lost someone too as well in this heat." as she tears up a little "My mate, not long ago."
Cat2: Nods "The deaths we must withstand if we are to see the Primes true intentions for our lands..."
Canine: Sighs and lays down, looking the other way "How many...and what good has come of it so far? Depression?"
Cat1: Lets him be, but feels that her heart was somewhat pounding, trying to find an emotional escape from the heat. As she gets up and prepares some bread for him, along with the leftover meat they had until they could go to the market to purchase more.
-The canines spirits rose as he ate the food, but the rise was a small thing, he finished the water which the felines still had some left
-Canine "Thank you for that" he showed a slight smile "I feel much better, though I am afraid I must depart, I have a mission and I will stick to it."
Cat1: Her heart sank a little but only just "Ok...I understand." as she sighs and looks down "Take care traveler."
Cat2: Nodded "Yes, safe journeys."
-The canine took his leave, but forgot his pouch, it was only minutes later the felines noticed this. Cat2 looked in the pouch and found a flowing blue stone.
-Cat1: "It looks like it may be important....I should find him."
she took the stone from her and put it back in the pouch, tying the pouch up as she kept it in her grasp.
-She went into the storm of dust on the outside that ensued shortly after running through it, as she followed a trail of paws that quickly vanished...she tripped and fell in the sand, the stone fell in the remnants of some water nearby which connected to some streams and glowed as she fainted from the heat...last hearing a male voices call and the patter of rain as clouds formed overhead, and a figure held her in his arms nuzzling her cheek.

A Time For Festivals (A Humorous Play)
by Rowlena Myers
(The scene opens up with a simple stage and right in the middle of said stage is a large, blue, overstuffed armchair. Sitting in the armchair is a small looking bunny girl. The female is also holding a large story book which she proceeds to open before clearing her throat and narrating.)
Narrator: Ahem! Oh hello out there! I didn't know that I would have so many people come and join me for story time. You know, I bet it's your love of stories that brought you here. I'm so glad that furres are starting to...(*She's interrupted by a stagehand that comes over to her to whisper something in her ear*) What?! You mean they aren't here because they love stories? They're here only because it was one of the plays entered in the summer contests? Tsk tsk...letting me down like always. Either way, might as well start with the story. We are going to join Rowlena. You see, Rowlena is new to Furcadia and has stumbled upon the Summer Festival. Let's look and see what's going on now....
(The scene broadens out to show the festival grounds, the narrator can still be seen though off to the side. Everyone is happy and laughing, clearly they've been here before and know of the festivities. It is then that one starts to stand out among all of them. This was Rowlena the anthro rox (fox rabbit hybrid) and she was new to Furcadia. It was quite easy to see that she was worried and nervous about being there. This was her first festival afterall....)
Rowlena: Ummm...wow...my very first festival and I've never felt so lost before! All the sights and sounds are a wonder to behold but there are just so many other furres that I'm not sure what I should do! (*She looks around nervously as she looks for some sort of guide to help her*) Could anyone....help me? I'm so new to this festival that I don't even know what to do! (*Her voice can hardly be heard above the hustle and bustle of the main fair grounds so the rox goes off to a more secluded area*) Well this is strange....guess not that many people want to sit around in this area...looks like there is a stage. Perhaps that is why...there isn't a show so people don't want to sit around here...
Rowlena: Gosh...I really don't know what to do....(It was then that Rowlena noticed the old Fox furre sitting nearby and walked over to him) Umm...excuse me Sir. I don't mean to sound too impolite there but I was wondering if you knew anything about the festival?
The Old Fox Furre: (*He didn't answer at first but a minute after said something*) Ahh there youngin'. So you assume that I know all about the festival because of my age? Is that why you are asking me?
Rowlena: No...no Sir! (*She looks embarrassed*) I was only asking in hopes that maybe you did know a thing or two about the festival. My apologies, I've been asking all around the festival and have yet to get an answer...
The Old Fox: Well I suppose I could tell you a bit...you see....
(The old fox is interrupted by the sound of someone running towards them and soon a random mouse furre appears and is right between the two.)
Random Mouse: Lyke omg! Teh fest is so coolz! I m lyke omg! (*Goes on and on with random noob and netspeak*)
Rowlena: Oh no...I've heard about these furres. They are loud and obnoxious and won't be quiet..I wonder who it is though. I hear you can get descriptions from them by clicking on them. But how would I do that? (*She thinks about it for a moment before just saying a word*) Ummm....click?
(Two oddly dressed people come out. One is dressed as a box but with a portrait on the front of it and the other looks like a giant mouth. The ‘portrait' just stays there with the picture of the mouse on it but the mouth proceeds to talk)
The Mouth: (*Talks as if it is reading the mouse's description*) Lyke omg I luv furc! hahahha dis is awesome! I need a mate so message me if interested. (*The mouth and portrait then disappear after the description is read.*)
Rowlena: Well okay...that was weird. Even his description was put together like the way he talks.
The Old Fox: (*The random mouse is still going on and on with randomness*) Ahhhh I can't take it anymore!! I give up on trying to talk over this infernal creature's talking!!! (*The fox disappears out of thin air, leaving Rowlena with the mouse.*)
Random Mouse: OMG yur so boring! i is out of here. Bye
(A passing young furre hears Rowlena talk about her problem and stops her.)
Young Furre: You know....if you've been exploring the festival grounds looking for someone to help you...that was something to do. You saw all of the festival dream and that was something everyone does once or twice. And you just could have looked at the signs all over the place...(Rowlena just let her jaw drop and she practically fell over from the irony of it all)
(The scene fades and the Narrator is seen)
Narrator: Well did you like it? No?! Well excuse us for trying to make a play with a moral.... (*She stomps off angrily*)
THE END
Passage for the Sun
by Sapien
*All characters are in their juvenile years*
Backdrop: a temple - grey pillars with lotus designs painted on them, a marble floor. Guards stand to either side of the stage. Hathor is sat on the floor, playing a sistrum rattle while entertaining a Mau.
*Enter Horus, running almost full tilt, who scares the cat away and is breathing heavily*
Hathor: Horus! Now look what you made me do! Bastet won't be happy at me for scaring one of her kittens.
Horus: We're in trouble! We need to find Ra!
*Hathor stands up, brushing dust off her linen dress and folds her arms over her chest*
Hathor: What? Why? Ra is sleeping, as you well know.
Horus: That's my point! It needs to be daytime! We need to get him to take me to fight Apophis!
*Hathor looks startled, eyeing the ever-present sun floating above the stage*
Hathor: What do you mean?
Horus: *takes a patient breath* Apophis, the snake of night, is starting to wake up again. I need to get Ra to take me to defeat him. If he wakes up properly, you know he'll devour Ra before we can do anything about it. That would plunge our world and Furcadia into darkness. Do you really want that?
Hathor: *bites her lower lip* No, that wouldn't be right.
*Exit Hathor and Horus, running again*
Backdrop: a dark room with a farming mural in the background. A bed is off to one side, where a scarab beetle is resting - exagerate snoring noises.
*Enter Hathor and Horus, who start jumping on Ra (the scarab)*
Ra: Huh? What? What the - ? *sits up, looking around startled*
Hathor: *sits on the end of the bed, then impatiently gestures for Horus to talk*
Horus: Ra, I need you to take me to where Apophis is. He's waking up and without us ... the worlds will be plunged into eternal darkness. Do you really want Seth to be able to rub that in our faces?
Ra: *blinks for a moment, then jumps to his feet - the bed shakes and Hathor falls off* What are we waiting for?
Horus: *grins* Come on then, let's go! I always enjoy kicking some enormous snake rear end!
*Exit Ra and Horus*
Backdrop: the Underworld - snakes and demons are shambling around, light comes from lights placed under lava to make it 'glow'.
*Enter Horus sitting on top of Ra piggy-back style, holding a spear*
Ra: This is the place. I can tell...
Horus: I know that as well, genius. Now where is he?
Ra: *suddenly stamps on the head of a passing scorpion and wrinkles his nose up* Over there!
*Enter Apophis - several people controlling the snake costume, moves comically but the size gets across*
Apophis: *gives a deep laugh - echoed by the other people in the costume for an eerie quality* Well well...
Horus: *shoulders the spear* Get back to where you belong Apophis! Go back into your sleep! The day is for the people and for the sun!
Apophis: *laughs again* That is what I am tired of! Let the night rule! *makes a lunge for Horus*
*Ra charges, then Horus braces himself and thrusts the spear up into his head - combat is comical to make sutiable for younger viewers*
Apophis: *gives a short yell of surprise then collapses*
Horus: *waves the spear over his head and yells triumphantly*
*Exit Horus and Ra - Apophis lies across the stage, sleeping again*
Backdrop: the temple again - scenery looks brighter and there are more people milling around*
*Enter Ra and Horus, who meet Hathor already stood nearby waiting*
Hathor: You're back! *claps*
Horus: *grins and gives Ra a light punch on the arm* Apophis is sleeping again. The world is safe from the snake of the Underworld and everyone can go back to living.
*All three jump up in the air and punch a fist to the sky*
Hathor, Ra and Horus: LONG LIVE THE SUN!
Gee Mcgee Looks for His mom.
by Saraswati
Once there was a curious Furre looking for his role play mother, named Gee Mcgee. Gee Mcgee started in the build a homes. He went to the desk of a more popular one, everyone pushing everyone bumping. Everyone was arguing. He asked what's wrong? They said all at once "I want a home!" Gee Mcgee said, what his mom would say. Gee Mcgee said "Why don't you all share a home?" All was silent for a minute, in till one named Gondilone said "Sounds good" and everyone nodded. Gee Mcgee then asked if any of those there were his mother, they all said no.
He left the dream and went along, to a less popular build a home. It felt like home. He went in, and it was baron, only the owner, but he went in the office anyway. He asked "Have you seen my mom?" The owner said no, and seemed depressed, Gee Mcgee asked "What's wrong" The owner said "No one comes anymore, I should just quit" Gee Mcgee said "No you can't do that, it's a nice dream and some will come, give it time, and when I find my mom we'll come along!" The owner seemed pleased and Gee went on his way. This time to an adoption dream known by many.
Dogs and cats, all about, but no sign of his mom in this forest of animals. He went to and fro in the dream, trying to find her but to no avail. He tried speaking to the animals but they just barked and meowed. At that time he was starting to lose hope. He went off again, but this time to sulk.
As he did, a strange creature came, said follow me if you want cheering up. He went, and the creature lead, they came to a forest near a lake. It was a nice place but he didn't know how to swim. He asked the creature but it hid. He began to be sad once again, when the lady of the lake appeared. "Fear not for your mother will be found, this day, somehow." she said. He was doubtful and asked "How?" She replied with a smirk "You know how, you just must not give up and must not doubt, keep searching and searching and you'll find her without a doubt" He asked, hesitant at first "I don't suppose you know where to start?" She replied without a moment of thought "You're connected with her and shes always with you, think like her and you'll meet up with her."
He went on his way, with a renewed conviction, thankful for the strange creature and the lady of the lake. He searched high and he searched low. Gee Mcgee was a new furre. He looked in all the places his mother went. Dream after dream, in till he came to one.
The owner just said "I think I may know where she is." inside of the Moonlight Inn. "Where?!" he asked, yearning to know. "Why, shes in my stomach and so are you!"
The man hopped on the bar, howled and jumped down. Gee Mcgee ran out into the main maps, with the werewolf not far behind, with `follow requests and `joins, but Gee Mcgee denied. As he neared the edge of the lake and started to pray, the strange creature came out and scared the werewolf away. The creature wasn't strange but a unicorn, and once again they helped Gee Mcgee this day. He quickly tried to say thank you but she got away. Gee Mcgee then had a funny feeling, and looked in the lake. At this time he realized the truth, he was half unicorn!
He thought and thought, and thought some more. He finally really thought, that Unicorns my mother. Gee Mcgee returned to the lake, asked the lady but to no avail, she wasn't visible and all he heard was "Afk 1h 32m".
He looked some more, now knowing what she looked like, but quickly gave up again. He was sad and went some place to rest. He then thought up a plan. She came when he was in danger, maybe once again. He went back to the Moonlight Inn.
He surrendered himself, as the werewolf gleamed in delight. He put him in a cauldron full of water, with wood below. Went to look for a match, and the unicorn came once again. She ran him off and Gee Mcgee was delighted. He told her before she ran off "I know you're my mother" She said with a anger, "Is that why you put yourself in danger?" He said "I'm sorry but I had no choice, I needed to find you, I needed you in my life" She said that "I'm a unicorn and you're half not, it would be better for the both of us if you lead your own life" He said quickly "I don't care, in till today I didn't even know"
She said "If you're sure, come with me" They went back to the lake, and dove right in, went through an underwater cave and came in. At that time Gee Mcgee realized, she was the lady of the lake as well.
The unicorn said "You must be tired from such a long day, why don't you rest?
He quickly fell asleep, happy that he was reunited with his mother at last.
The End
Mulliver's Travels
by Shayde En'Kiar
(Ten furres including Mulliver are sitting around in a dream called Mulliver's Home, discussing what to do with their boredom. One of them has just been struck by a fantastic idea.)
FURRE #1: Hey, we could always make a lead/follow train and go to Allegria!
(The furres line up, and unfortunately, poor Mulliver is last in the conga line. For a moment they run in circles around main Allegria square, turning on their phoenixes and generally being a nuisance, but then...)
Guardian: Hey, what's going on?
FURRE #1: ARGH! F3 everyone, F3! Abandon congaline!
MULLIVER finds himself lost among blue portals, hopelessly shipwrecked on his travels!
MULLIVER: I don't know where I'm going... and I've been wandering for almost two minutes! Hrm-- "Seafairy Homes." That seems somewhat friendly. Maybe I'll have a look in there, and they'll know how I can get home.
#WELCOME TO SEAFAIRY HOMES. To find staff just say desk!!! J J: J <33333 J NO SPAMMING PLS!!!
(Mulliver is now experiencing sensory overload among a peppy, bright landscape of large trees, sparkly couches, rainbows and various glitzy pieces of furniture. There are furres dashing about and dropping ottomans and stoves on their lots at random.)
MULLIVER: How peculiar. -- Excuse me, miss, can you tell me what this is?
ORIENTATION: Duh it's a BaH lol. What did u expect :P u build homes here and decoraet them but we don't like new people so if ur new then please getout.
MULLIVER: A... BaH? No, I'm not new, only lost. I need to find someone to tell me how to get back home.
ORIENTATION: K, say house 2 and that's your house now. Indoctrinate, Egotistic and some other chick w/ a random dictionary word for a name are afk so don't bother asking staff for help bcause they wont.
MULLIVER: Er, fair enough! (aside) Furcadia is such a strange place...Well, here goes. House 2!
(Mulliver is transported to his home, a pulsating large mushroom with a unicorn on the roof.)
MULLIVER: Hmm. Well, I guess I'll just wait here until someone comes by.
JOEFURRE: hey r u B&E??
MULLIVER: Um... if that means ‘lost', then yes, I'm B&E!
JOEFURRE: BREAKING AND ENTERING IS AGAINST THE RULES!! ILL TELL STAFF
MULLIVER: Wait--- I only wanted to get home! I didn't mean to---
(Mulliver is ejected from the dream.)
MULLIVER: Argh! Now I'll never find my way home. Everywhere else seems so odd compared to my dream!
LODRIC SWORDSCALE: Hail, traveller. Art thou lost?
MULLIVER: Yes! Can you--
LODRIC SWORDSCALE: Come to my fair land of Azure Kingdom. Thou shalt be well treated.
MULLIVER: Will it help me get back to Mulliver's House?
LODRIC SWORDSCALE: I know not of any Mulliver's house. However, surely if we consult the others...
(Lord Swordscale summons Mulliver.)
(Mulliver has now been brought to the walls of a large and somber grey castle. It is raining, and a crowd is gathered at the base of a stage where four rodents are sword fighting. Mulliver approaches the nearest.)
MULLIVER: Er, do you know how I can get to a dream called Mulliver's House, please?
ALANA SILVERFEATHER turns to look at Mulliver, her eyes narrowing. "You are disrupting the brawl-- and besides, no, I know of no such place." She settles her paws on her hips, adding, "Really, what could be better than here? Going on quests, plundering booty, fighting demons across battle scarred lands--
MULLIVER: Ah...that's nice, but I just want to get back to my dream.
JORGE THE SMITH scowls deeply at Mulliver: "We don't bother with the outside game. Imaginarium is all that counts, and you would do well to respect our views, lad." His strong arms heft the hammer he carries over one shoulder lightly--
MULLIVER: But I REALLY need to get back! My friends are waiting!
JORGE THE SMITH: [You're interrupting the IC atmosphere. Primes, learn to para-RP, you twink!]
(Mulliver is, yet again, ejected.)
MULLIVER sobs. "Not again! Okay, this has to work..."
(he clicks the N button and is transported to Naia Green.)
SANCTIMONIOUS: ...and then I realized the butler had broken out the cognac instead of the port. Clearly a spot of maladroit on his part.
WELCOMER rolls her eyes. #SD
WELCOMER 2: Hello Mulliver. Have a cookie and a hug! -- No, wait, don't run away, please, it gets so lonely here after 6 FST!
MULLIVER: Eek! People here are even weirder than elsewhere!
HELPER: Hello Mulliver #SA How can I help you? #SA You look lost. #SA#SA
MULLIVER: Finally someone who understands! I've been trying to get back to my dream for almost thirty minutes now! It's called Mulliver's House.
HELPER: You mean like this? furc://mulliver:mullivershouse
MULLIVER: MY HERO. (Mulliver is transported home.)
FURRE: Man, what happened, Mull? It took you forever to get back.
MULLIVER: Don't mention it. Furcadia's the craziest place ever; I guess it's true what they say-- there's no place like home!
disbeliever.
by Sophia
In a quiet village, located smack dab in the middle of the Egyptian desert, a crowd of people are gathering.
They stand at the center of the small village, all heads craning to the cloudless skies.
Villager: When will the rain come! We are starving!
Chief: We must have upset the rain Gods..
Villager: How can you blame ourselves on this? It is the weather that is killing us!
Chief: Do you not believe the Gods are what is controlling our weather?
Villager: Yes, I don't believe in an outside force. It is the weather.
A woman comes to the villagers side, tugging on his sleeve slightly and leaning up to his ear.
Woman: Ahmose, you must stop this. They will kill you if you speak of more blasphemy.
Ahmose: My own wife, a believer!
Woman: I don't believe in the Gods any more than you, you know that. We must keep our ideas to ourself.
Ahmose: How can you tell me this! Go home you pathetic woman, I will be as loud as I wish.
The villager turns back to the chief with a smug look on his face.
Ahmose: You! Tell me exactly what we could have done wrong. We have been good to our earth and other villages, why would the Gods be so spiteful to cast the sun on us for so long, making it so we cannot grow a mere crop!
Chief: I cannot tell you of our Gods ways, but do not question them! Any more of this and you will be punished.
Ahmose: I cannot believe this!
The man spits on the ground before the chief's feet, then swiftly turns and heads home.
Ahmose: I cannot believe that man! We have done everything perfect, and yet he still blames the idea of a God.
Wife: Best not test him.
Ahmose
scoffs: Ha! Test him? That's what me must do, prove there is no God!
Wife: How will we do that?
Ahmose: Haven't your parents ever spoken to you of the rain summons? We will do our worst, and then summon the rain!
Wife: Why haven't we done this before?
Ahmose: You don't understand -- this now is our perfect chance!
He quickly flees the house, heading towards the nearby priest's house.
Wife: Oh, my Ahmose. Always so keen.
At the priest's house, hours later.
Ahmose: So, do you think you can help?
Priest: Although it is an act against the Gods, and I myself am a priest, I will help, in secrecy.
Ahmose: Perfect! I will set you to do the summoning at noon tomorrow. I will do as many blasphemous acts as I may.
Priest: Noon it is. Good luck, Ahmose.
Ahmose: Thank you.
As the sun slowly creeps up the next day, Ahmose races out of the house and into the center of the town. He stands on a podium, shouting.
Ahmose: Villagers, villagers, I summon you!
Slowly, surely, they come.
Ahmose: I have an announcement!
Villagers: What! Why must you wake us!
Ahmose: There are no Gods! You put your feeble brains into something that does not exist!
Villagers: Quiet, if you speak more the Gods will cast us the sun forever!
Ahmose: How can you believe in something such! It is the weather, not a silly man with a bird head!
Chief: You, quiet! Get down!
Ahmose: Never, sir! I will speak as I please! I will show you, even with all this blasphemy, the rain will come at noon today! Believe in me, not your God, Amun-Ra!
With this belief, most chose not to pay anymore attention and the villagers dispersed to their houses. Ahmose ran to where the priest was setting up.
Ahmose: Can we really do it?
Priest: We should. I'm ready already.
Both the men waited, watching the position of the sun carefully. As it rose to noontime, the priest stood, tablet in hand as he read off ancient hieroglyphics. The chant was carried off to the heavens, where slowly clouds started stretching across the pure blue skies. Ahmose watched in awe as the priest continued, and with a final statement, the thick grey clouds churned, patters of rain falling to soak into the dry ground.
All around, voices could be heard, a praising.
Villagers: Oh, Ahmose! He was correct! Rain!
Ahmose felt good, all smiles. Thanking the priest, he simply went home to his wife.
Months later, the town was stock full of crops and food, and everyone was content. They thanked Ahmose, but he respectfully denied. They no longer let the Gods control their lives, but the belief in the weather. Little did Ahmose know, the summons were a beckoning to the Gods for rains.What irony.

Mydisa Forest

As the sun rose from the horizon, the light quickly spreads across the land...
"Cmon, I have to show you this area!" said the feline running down the grassy hill from the park, "Umm... Okay...?" as a foxen swiftly runs down the hill, and trying to avoid contact with the pond that was near, "This way!" said the Feline, as he took his turn left around the pond to a dead end. "It's a dead-end, Rand, there is no way arou-" suddenly, Rand chopped the bush-looking shrub, and revealed a muddy pathway, "You be leader, Tailsz!" Tailsz then took lead into the forest area, it was narrow, so Rand stood behind Tailsz, as they delved deep within the forest, they came across a staircase, but it was very unstable. Rand took lead by jumping from the branches of a tree, to reach the top, "Tailsz, you take the other path, i'll catch up to you later!" Rand shouted, as he turned away and disappeared from Tailsz' sight, Tailsz then continued his way through the muddy path, as the creek on the left side went deeper, "That water looks pretty deep now," he said, "Hopefully I won't trip into it." as Tailsz walked at a steady pace, another staircase emerged into his sights, this time, it looked like a sturdy staircase, but, it was made like the ones inside a normal house, "This staircase takes me to a residential area. I highly doubt that a house stairway would lead to more forest." Tailsz looked up to see stone walls, and windows, as a Canine goes back and forth behind the front windows. Tailsz then continued along his path. Rand ran across the upper area, avoiding spiders, to his right and left was fenced off by wooden fences, "This must be Residential Area-" before long, a tree collapsed behind Rand, "Going back isn't going to do me any good." Rand looked to his left to see parts of the fence broken, "Hiyah!" Rand then did a Tornado Kick on the broken fence, as it made another path. As Rand walked at a slow-pace, to keep from wakening any wild life creatures, he saw some stairs that led downward, "Those must be those new outdoor house staircases..." Rand stopped to smell a Canine near by, "Maybe i'll avoid going infront of the stairs for now." Rand then jumped on the tree branch, and went up to the top, then jumped on the roofing, silently, he jumped to the otherside and jumped down, and secretly ran down the staircase, and took a right, following Tailsz scent.
Tailsz was at a dead end, til he saw he could dig a hole up to the top of the steep hill, then Tailsz rushed through the dirt as he didn't break a sweat, by the time he was finished, he could see Rand emerge from the behind, "Pweh, that took alot of energy..." they continued...
At the end of the passage, the road stopped, and Tailsz was force to use his wits. they reached long River, with logs as the only pathway to the other side, Rand, as fast as he can be, was already across the river, "Cmon Tailsz!" Rand said, as Tailsz slowly crawled to the other side, he was pretty terrified of going, but he was on the other side in a heart-beat, they where near the hills now. (Which leads upwards near the park.) "We have to try to get out, Tailsz, we'll have to hike up." Rand said in conclusion to getting home, Rand jumped from the angled trees, (Since the hill is pretty steep.) Tailsz hiked up with great haste, Tailsz saw two ways of going, Tailsz took the left side, with all the logs, since the trees are old here, Rand has to hike by foot. Later, Tailsz couldn't jump over the logs that were in the way, and Rand would have to do a high jump over and kick the logs away from Tailsz to get through. As they progress to the top, prickle bushes started to appear, and Tailsz would slap them away with his long Tail. when they get out of the forest, they see the plains of grass, and Tailsz' house. "Well, this was a great Adventure." said Rand, "Sure was." said Tailsz as he tried to catch his breath. As they retired to the old house, Tailsz looked back at the forest, "We'll call it Mydisa Forest, after it's challanges that we faced." *THE END*
Canterfurry Tails: The Traveller's Tale
by Vijay
SETTING: A dry, blazingly hot and bright day. In the background is the far bank of the river, ancient and clear, dotted with palms and endless dunes of sand. The banks are grassed in long, sturdy blades. In the foreground is a small sloop, single-masted and with one main sail and a gibsail.. The ship is finely made, and its small, sleek design is perfect for the upriver journey of its decadent passengers from the more civilized homelands of the Empire. Upon the deck are two furres , JANET(J) (a female rodent) and VIJAY(V) (a male canine), lounging on chairs, frosty, iced drinks on a small umbrella table nearby. At the right side of the deck are STAIRS.
J squirms in her seat, and reaches over to crank the umbrella to bend to shade more of her.
V: Gosh, it's burning. I hope we get to the ruins soon. I didn't come all the way here to turn to roast dog.
TAN LOC(T), a feline male enters the stage from the stairs, and energetically, jovially jaunts over to the lounging pair.
J: Hey, T, what's the news?
T: I've just been up with the captain, and he says we've three more days until we reach the ruins.
V gasps, J pouts, tossing in her chair again.
V and J(simultaneously): Days?!
J(cont'd): How are we going to survive? This place is so empty and boring, and this ship is so small. They say I can't go swimming for fear of the crocodiles! Why did we ever even bother coming to this godforsaken corner of the world?
T remains bright and jovial in the face of the disappointment of his friends. He moves over to the table and leans upon it, under the shade of the umbrella, standing over J.
T: Here, I have a way to pass some of the voyage. Let me tell you a story I heard when travelling when I was young. It concerns a traveller, just like us.
As T speaks, the table and chairs are moved to the fore-left of the stage , and the background changes to a temperate forest. Lighting for the table is gradual dimmed and blacked, and eventually only a silhouette of the original trio remains.
T: It was many years ago, and a lone mouse was wandering up a forest track. The purpose of his journey is long lost, but he had left one town, and in a day's travel would be at another. It was late in the afternoon, and the sun was low, only streaks of light coming through the trees illuminated the well-beaten path. It was in those late hours that he was set upon by a group of bandits.
MOUSE has been entering slowly from the left, as if wistfully walking down the path. As T finishes speaking, he has reached the middle of the stage, and the 2 BANDITS and LEADER enter quickly from the right.
T (cont'd): The mouse cried out, as the bandits grabbed him and threw him to the ground.
T and M (simultaneously): Please, spare me!
M (cont'd): Please, oh please, I'm just a poor mouse.
L: You have provisions, but you have no wares to sell. This can only mean you are taking money to town. Hand over your money, or your life shall end!
M is grabbed by L and tip of dagger is put to his throat.
M: I am just a mouse, I have done nothing wrong!
M'rill: Leave him alone
M'RILL (MR) appears on the side of the stage from behind a tree.
T: A beautiful queen appeared from behind a tree and once again spoke
MR: Stop that. Leave that poor mouse alone. Why don't you pick on someone of your own size?
L: Look, a lonely queen. And she looks rich, too! Get her!
T: So the mouse was forgotten and the bandits moved in on the queen.
T (con'td): With an elated giggle, the queen joins combat, wielding a long dagger.
T (con'td): And before long, the bandits were beaten, cut here and there but still alive.
MR: And don't let me see you here again. If I ever see you again...well, you'll see!
(The bandits go off stage)
T: By now, the sun had gone under and the mouse was shivering.
M: Thank you for your help. What is your name?
MR: You're safe now. Here, let me comfort you with my body.
MR and M lay together as the lights dim. Upon waking, Mr and M's posessions and clothes are gone. There is a small blue glove beside him where previously Mr had been.
M: A glove? What's this? Shaped like a feline's claw, and studded with sapphires!
M: She has taken my things, but she has left me comforted and rich all the same.
M looks up into the bright morning sky, and realizes who his rescuer must have been.
M(cont'd): Thank you, M'Rill, Queen of Felines!
J(interrupting): The Exalted Prime M'rill!
V: Was it really her?
T: Nobody knows. And we can't ask anybody, because the glove was sold to a shopkeeper in the next town.
J: He sold it? Why?
V: I guess he really did need that money.
J giggles.
J: And the clothes...
V: It sounds like something M'rill would do.
T: Who is to tell? The glove hasn't been seen for a long time.
The lights dim, and T, V and J sink into their own thoughts.

M'rill's Advisor
by Zaech
M'rill, the Prime of Felines, stood at her balcony, hands gripping the iron bars bordering it as she looked off to the sunset. The air was thick and warm, but as the sun dipped past the horizon and the sky gradually dimmed, the oncoming night promised a comfortable temperature.
Shiwa, the Prime's advisor, hurriedly burst into the room, the white feline's white robes billowing behind her and causing the normally elegant female to trip several times. "Lady M'rill! Are you there?"
M'rill hurriedly turned around, surprised by her advisor's appearance being so sudden. "Shiwa? What is it?" The normally reclusive and trusted advisor never acted so jumpy unless something was truly amiss, and the Prime awaited what she had to say.
Shiwa, noticeably flustered, glanced up to her mistress. "I'm sorry I'm acting this way-"
M'rill interrupted. "It doesn't matter, please tell me what is so important."
Shiwa nodded and began. "The Dark Primes- they've found the Dream Vault!"
M'rill gave Shiwa a shocked face. The Dream Vault, the hidden place nestled within Furcadia where all the essences of furres' dreams lay. And with the Dark Primes knowing its' whereabouts, all could be destroyed! "We must go stop them, Shiwa. We will tell the Good Primes, and we will stop this force. The dreams of all furres depend upon it."
