Chapter 1 - The Beginning

??? Pov

I'm finally free.

After all the pain, the abuse, the humiliation, i'm free from that place and can move on. I don't know if what I did was the right thing but all I know is that I don't have to suffer anymore...

I can feel it all slowly slip into blissful escape but just as I feel at peace, all of a sudden I hear .. shouting?

It's shouts of concern but these are most definitely not for me that much I know. Then I can feel it, am I supposed to feel something at this point? I'm being carried, but by what? 

The Voices are getting clearer and I can hear... explosions? Yelling and what sounds like fighting and multiple people running in panic.

What kind of afterlife is this?!

Its strange I can't move my limbs but I feel as though I could open my eyes and I do so. 

What i'm greeted with is pure chaos. Bright light similar to that one would see from massive fireballs and the sounds of metal clashing and a strange language being spoken followed by more explosions. Strangely though these aren't what catch my attention the most.

What catches my eye the most is what I can only describe as the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. She had crystal blue eyes that were clearer than any body of water on Earth, shining bright yellow hair that reminded me of a pure golden flame and a face that put all humans to shame, but of all her large pure white wings reminiscent of a dove, I could only describe her as an angel.. and this very angel had a look of panic on her face and was the one carrying me.

" Come on, come on! There has to be one left!"

I wanted to say something to the angel and asked what was happening and why she was panicking but i couldn't speak. It was then i could somewhat register that I was not in my body, in fact I had no idea what I was but I could only watch and listen as she panicked and was seemingly taking me away from the chaos.

" Yes I made it!" exclaimed the angel.

She had made it to a somewhat ruined looking building that looked similar to government building or what was left of it anyway. She entered the building quickly and making her way past what looked like a lobby she made her way to a strange almost futuristic room that was difficult for me to describe.The only thing that I could make out was the large screen that she started to activate and began pressing.

" Alright lets see whats left... no... no...no, oh COME ON these can't be the only options left for him!" the angel furiously declared!

Options? For me? From what i gathered I was being given something, but it seemed from her frustration that my options sounded down right awful and i began to silently panic. My panic only grew as the sound of explosions and what I now clearly understood as fighting began to grow closer.

"Grrr.. fine I guess I have to take what I can get." the angel almost defeatedly said.

" Alright... give him this and... this as well... give him these too.." the angel muttered as she quickly touched the screen and picked what i'm assuming are for me but I couldnt clearly see what it was she was choosing.

" ...as for his origin... I can't believe this is the only option and with this combination of all things."

As I continued to listen my questions and panic only grew, where was I being sent? What was this combination? Why am I here?! Unfortunatley my concerns fell on deaf ears as it seemed as though she was putting the final touches.

"annnd DONE!" 

Once the angel exclaimed that a small little pod appeared from the futuristic wall and the sounds of fighting grew even closer. The angel placed me in the pod and before she closed it she said a few final words.

" I'm so sorry for all of this.. I know what you've been through and now i'm about to send you to a different place that's going to be harsh and cruel to you, but from what I know about you and the type of person you are.. I know you are going to do great things and change everything... farewell."

As soon as she said that the pod closed and I was sent flying down away from wherever I was and the last thing I heard was a loud explosion and I felt the horrifying speed that I was traveling at wondering the fate that i've been condemned to and I soon felt everything turn to darkness.

"....e ...p"

"..ake ..p"

"WAKE THE HELL UP YOU WORTHLESS BASTARD!!!!!"

I suddenly wake up at the loud voice and sat up confused and quickly looking around for the source of the voice. There I saw a ugly and burly man with a nasty scowl on his face who quickly grabbed me and tossed me by my neck. 

" How long were you planning on sleeping you lazy bastard theres work to do!" the man yelled.

I slowly attempted to pick myself up and realized I had use of my limbs again although... they were far shorter than normal as were my legs. As I stood up I slowly began to grow adjusted to my surroundings and looking at my hands realized that I had a child's hands and... the shackles that were placed on both my wrists and ankles.

I looked around and realized I was in a horrible and musty looking cave and saw more people in shackles being lined up and lead down a different path in the cave. Various people of different ages were in a line from children to adults, but despite this horrible sight one thing grabbed my attention and that was the cat ears and tail on one of the captive people.

As I saw this I felt something on my lower back and felt something on top of my head and confused as to what it was I quickly spotted a puddle on the floor of the cave and ran to it despte the angry yells of the man. As I knelt and stared into the puddle I saw it. 

The face of a young boy with black hair and green eyes with soot and dirt covering his face and at the top of his head... wolf ears.
