The dusty wind blew hard against their terribly made clothes.
Slowly and surely, they reached the border gates. However, the doors were not made open to them. Instead, the Beast n on the stone walls looked at them strangely. so of them even pointing their weapons below.
"Who goes there?" One of the guards questioned in a stern tone.
Captain Timi imdiately pulled down his scarf. "Please, help us. We are are refugees... Our village got attacked at night, and we... we have nowhere else to go!"
The guard on the wall was cal man. He looked at Captain Timi, "A Cat-man?" He asked in surprise.
Captain Timi nodded.
The Cal-man was at a lose for words.
He contemplated whether to attack or not.
"Please, we have wounded amongst us. They are in need of dical attention." Captain timi pointed to few amongst them that were carried on stretchers. many of them had bloody wounds.
The guard nodded, "wait right there. I’ll get the commander."
Captain Timi nodded as he waited.
He exchanged subtle eye contacts with the others. All of them remained silent, and so even faked wiping.
A few minutes later, the gates rumbled as they were pulled open each to the other side.
A Gorilla-man dressed in proud military robes stepped forward with other cal-n behind him. Even though this place was dry and windy, he had a thick cigar in his mouth.
He walked over to Captain Timi and the others. The presence that ca with his arrival was a terrifying one. He literally oozed violence and bloodshed.
This was sothing that instinctively put fear in those around him. A bloody presence that could only be achieved with years and years of bloodshed on the brutal battlefield.
The steps of this Gorrilla-man commander were heavy. he walked over to the so called refugees. His eyes scanning them critically. After all, this was the border not just between two nations but two species that could never find peace with one another.
He stopped in front of captain Timi. By the commander’s side laid a sword.
The commander removed the sword with a sharp slashing motion. And in that Mont, Captain Timi wanted to move. His years of military service pushing him to dodge the attack.
However, he bit down on his tongue as he refused both his training and years of experience all at once.
His eyes shut together, in expectancy of the inevitable. However, it never ca.
All he felt was the cold touch of tal against his neck.
slowly, he opened his eyes only to et the bright smile of the commander.
The gorilla commander chuckled loudly, and the Cal-n behind him joined in his laughter.
"HAHAHA!!! look at his face.... civilians. they are all the sa." The Commander laughed so more. "Co on, you all can co in. My n will tend to your injured. you will be given a piece of bread, but after that, you will have to survive on your own..." He spread his hands, "welco to the Furry kingdom my friend!"
Captain Timi shocked, could not help but freeze a bit. And then he bowed in thanks as he progressed with the others through the outpost.
In his heart, he could not believe that this had actually worked.
Back at the ti that the plan for this mission were laid out, Chiron had told him that they were going to walk through the front door into the Beast nation, but he had thought of it has being impossible.
And when he asked about their human features, Chiron had asked if he had ever heard of what was called make up and props.
Fake ears, fake tails, fake nose and even fake fur.
It was all fake. Chiron had faked it all.
At the ti, he was worried and thought maybe they would be found, after all, people might have done this before to get into the Beast kingdom. But Chiron told him sothing very important.
"The vandorain people are too proud. Too proud of their humanity, and too proud of their heritage. No one would ever do such a thing."
As it turned out, Chiron was right. The Vandorain people had been too prideful over the many years of their prosperity. Besides, they had been hunting and killing the Beast people.
No matter the reason, it was not possible that they would take up the appearances of those that they considered to be below them.
However, Chiron was different. He was greatly shaless. And that shalessness was spread into his army.
After the make up session was done, it was ti for Carla to do her job. Becasue of her evolution, she had developed certain skills.
One of which was the ability to change her sll. Her blood was used on the soldiers with a bit of Chiron’s beast core mixtures to change their scent entirely.
Which ant that in both appearance and presence, these were not soldiers but Cat people.
The aim of this mission was as chiron had instructed. Chiron had sent his army, into the enemy camp without weapons to defend themselves.
If for any reason there was a mistake, then it ant the end for all of them.
They would all die.
Luckily for them, the first part of the mission had been passed.
Beast people those that were not in the beast nation, were always hunted as animals and therefore tried their best to find their way into the beast nation.
As a people that believed in their own unity against the humans, they always helped one another.
It was that kindness for beast people that Chiron was taking advantage of.
In this manner, everyone went in.
In truth, this was the easiest part of the mission. The next part will be much difficult. In fact, Chiron had told them that it was going to be so dangerous that they would have to wing it on their own.
These were the tools for his punishnt. Anyone that touched his property had to receive the wrath of his judgent.
Once through the border, Captain timi and the others had done has they were instructed to do.
Of course they were Army soldiers that ca to extort them of their valuables, but they were soon allowed into the country.
Once in, the next phase of the plan began.
Emma told the Captain her farewell as she used her charms to secure a ride for herself and her so called pet, Hunter.
Even at the border, the Gorilla commander could not help but flirt with her continually.
In truth, Emma was tempted to take a bite out of him, but she had to hold back her hunger. Chiron had ordered that she only fed specifically on the people he directed.
Her aim was the marine armies at the ocean.
From the border to that part of the country, it would be a three days journey by both land and air of course.
The beast Kingdom was divided in such a manner that each region hand its dominating Beast kinds and the lesser counter parts.
Although they were called a nation, they were truly poor. This was the first impression that Dylan had of these people.
The wealthy of their society horded most of the resources, giving the weaker beast kinds only peanuts to enjoy. And on top of that, they had to be grateful for those peanuts.
The mission was on. No matter what it took, they had to do it.
However, only a day into these lands and seeing the way they lived, Dylan had started to have a wavering heart.
This was sothing he could not help. At the mont, he sat in a carriage. These carriage carried both him and his team on their journey to the far side as Chiron had instructed.
In total, there were ten of them.
But there did not travel all in the sa carriage, sharing themselves evenly amongst six carriages.
This ant that he shared this carriage with other beast people. Most of whom were old and sickly. Looking at their appearances and their suffering, he could not help but have his heart moved.
This was most especially true because of the little girl that had currently ward up to his presence.
From the mont they had gotten on the carriage, she had been staring at him, and in turn and amusent, he had made faces at her.
Her smile was very refreshing to stare at. He even found himself sharing a bit of the bread he had been given at the border with her.
She traveled with an old woman. One, he assud was her grand mother.
Unlike he and his n, they were the true refugees. People with no ho anywhere in the world that had managed to escape the pursuit and criticism of humans into this supposed haven for their kind.
From what he gathered, it had not been easy up till this point, but they had endured, and now, they were going to start their lives anew.
As she snuggled up to him to sleep, it happened...
