Change Of Life_(1)

“Change of Life”
By: DinoMagick ([email protected])

Introduction:
This story is based on a short anthropomorphic comic book by Sin Factory, Radio Comix, called “Ice Queens”. I won’t describe the comic, but if you are into ‘Furry’ style erotica, it’s a decent single issue comic. I had hoped that the Author(s), who are called “The Gang of 5”, would have written a few more like this or added a prequel and some sequels to this series, but alas this was the only published issue from 2005/2006. So, I decided to mix a lot of their comic and some of my own ideas into this story.

The Original is called “Change of Venue” but after some heavy hitting research on the ‘Furry’ genre, which previous to this story I knew very little about, as well as studying a little about species anatomy, I came up with what I hope is a promising endeavor that will delight the reader and keep some authenticity to the original storyline.

I freely admit that I have plagiarized a few character dialogs from the original comic, but the background and the chronology of the story came from my own warped mind.

If you like this story, please send me an email, I enjoy constructive criticism just as much as I enjoy raves. I’m learning this type of writing and am by no means an expert. All I try to do is entertain, if you don’t like it because of content or genre, don’t read it.


Prologue: What is the world coming to?

Four thousand years ago, things on Earth took a very dramatic and very drastic turn in the physical and meta-physical world we lived in. Humans were no longer the only sentient species on the planet. As the change took hold on our world, over time, other species became more and more sentient and in some cases were even more prolific than the human race.

It was like the laws of physics and nature decided to roll a pair of dice and change the way everything worked in the world. Beings that had once been pets to humans began learning the ability to write some words and in some cases very early in the change, they even learned how to speak those words. As the decades came and went, their ability to communicate became more advanced, moving from simple words to more articulate and vocal forms of communication.

Not surprisingly, Dolphins were the first creatures to elevate themselves from being mere sea creatures to being able to fully communicate with humans; using specially designed tablets and electronics they could fully verbalize and hold complete conversations with humans.

Then there was the canine world, which were the first species to be able to write simple words in dirt with their paws or specially designed pencils and pens held in their teeth so they could write on paper. Certain species of canines like Canis lupis (Wolves) and Canis lupis familiaris (domestic dogs, mostly large breeds) learned the ability to speak gruffly at first until centuries of evolution allowed them to develop better vocal cords. Though it was believed the smaller breeds could also speak at that time, their ability to change the pitch and tone of their evolved vocal cords didn’t happen until much later, so a larger breed of dog or wolf had to act as interpreter so the smaller dogs could communicate with humans like their larger cousins could.

Surprisingly, primates like chimpanzees and gorillas that humans had thought to be more closely related to man than any other species, only began to have one on one communication with humans using writing and hand signals, much later than the cetacean and canine species and weren’t able to fully use verbal communication until just over three hundred and fifty years ago.

There were other species that also had increased communicative skills, but not at the degree that the cetacean and canine species had. Felines, in comparison, developed the third fastest and were only a few hundred years ahead of the primates.

Not all animals attained that level of ability; many creatures still retained their non-sentient abilities and were classified as ‘common’ in comparison to the more evolved of their native species.

All these changes gave humans a very different outlook on the world and over zealousness due to cultural and environmental differences within the human race caused a large upheaval within all sentient life on the planet. Because some of the animal world now had sentience, everything was re-classified. Human beings were called “Humans” and sentient animals and beasts were now called “Meta-Humans”. The rest of the animal kingdom that did not gain any sentient abilities were simply labeled “Common or Mundane”. Because of these strange occurrences, war came to the world, yet again.

It was the largest war ever to have occurred on planet earth. Boundaries that had once stood for millennia, changed overnight. It wasn’t just one species versus another, many species fought side by side against their own, each one trying to dominate the other because of cultural differences, hate, love, territory, society, resources…the things that cause most wars, whereas other species learned to adapt and coexist peacefully, but by the time the wars ended and all the sentient species learned to tentatively get along, the damage to the earth had already been done.

Society crumbled and infrastructure decayed around the world. The races had no choice but to band together, just to survive. Humans still maintained many millennia worth of knowledge which gave them the upper hand, but they were no longer the dominant species on the planet and ended up reverting back to roaming nomadic tribes called “Clans”. On land, wolf clans seemed to be the most predominant than the humans because of their more predatory nature and the fact that they learned faster than most of the other races. Of course, the dolphins ruled the seas and oceans as well as rivers and some lakes.

Other species also adopted some of the human sociologies and called their groups “Clans” as well, but mixed race clans seemed to thrive better than single species clans. Even though things had settled down to some degree, nothing in the world would ever be the same again.


Chapter One

The wars had ended more than a hundred years before Kayla was born, a very human girl in a very in-human world. The few cities that still remained were places where all races congregated now to trade and find food.

Some of these cities established small governments that would provide ‘ration chits’ to feed any sentient race that would support its governance.

The human clan that Kayla and her family had started in was destroyed by some anti-human clans and her family had to flee in order to survive. Kayla mostly grew up around other races more than she had around Humans and eventually, her family settled near a mixed clan of wolves and other sentient creatures, like bears, rodents, bobcats, mountain lions as well as a pair of domesticated cats named Vera and Simon.

The clan was ruled by Sinja, who was the Alpha Female and possibly the meanest creature Kayla had ever met in her life. Her mate, Fenris was a submissive, large male wolf that showed a measure of compassion to the humans that now were a part of the clan.
Sinja hated humans and railed against Fenris’s decision to let Kayla’s family join the clan. They were the only humans in the region and for whatever reason, Fenris felt sorry for them. Being the only human members of the wolf clan was difficult at first, but Kayla and her family adapted well and quickly.

Things were starting to look good for the clan until a fight with a neighboring anti-human group called the Destinites, who believed it was the destiny for all creatures to ascend above humanity, killed her parents and left Kayla as the only human in the Clan.

After the battle with the Destinites, Sinja made a point of making Kayla’s life as miserable as possible since her parents were gone, always asserting her authority and dominance over the human girl. Eventually, Kayla grew up into a beautiful young woman and had grown accustomed to Sinja’s bullying.

Kayla was walking back to the den one day, after standing in line for several long frustrating hours to get her ‘rations chits’, when Sinja demanded that Kayla had over her chits. That day, something deep within Kayla finally snapped and she challenged the Clan’s Alpha Bitch to a fight.

Everyone knew that Sinja, being a wolf and being a few hundred pounds heavier than Kayla, was going to win the fight. But Kayla had learned quite a lot having grown up as the only human in the clan, that when a challenge was made, to never back down.

Sinja scoffed at the idea of a ‘bald monkey’ making a challenge like that, but she also respected that a challenge, regardless of who made it, must be honored.

“You will not win, ‘monkey’ bitch.” She would taunt Kayla. “You do not stand a chance.”

Kayla would ignore the female wolf most of the time, but finally got fed up enough to offer the Alpha Bitch a retort. “Maybe you will beat me, but at least I don’t have to worry about fleas.”

Sinja smiled a toothy grin toward Kayla. “You are a funny little hairless ape.” Was the female wolf’s response, and then she added. “I’ll enjoy having your ration chits since you won’t need them after I thrash your feeble frame all over the den.”

The ration chits were a sore subject with Kayla. She didn’t like them, but because the clan was led by Sinja, who kept them in the city, she had to abide by their decisions. Kayla thought the clan would be better off away from the city and living off the land, but for so long, the sentient races had been dependent on government handouts, and they had lost their knowledge of how to fend for themselves. Before Kayla’s family had found this clan, they lived from place to place, getting whatever they needed off the land or scavenged left overs of other clans. So Kayla knew how to get what she needed.

She also knew how to push Sinja’s buttons the right way. “I’m going to ride you like a pony.” Kayla said after some thought. “You’ll be my personal riding mount.”

That was a significant insult to the proud Alpha female. Sinja made a quick move and snapped her jaws mere inches from Kayla’s face. “For that, ‘ape bitch’, I’m going to make sure you bleed.”

Kayla was unafraid of Sinja now. Her challenge was a stepping stone to more respect within the Clan, and even if she didn’t win the fight, just standing up to Sinja was a big accomplishment.

The day came for the challengers to meet and everyone in the Clan was in attendance. Fenris stood with his front forelegs braced on a platform, his deep voice echoing in the cavernous den they called home.

“CLAN!” he cried out. “Today, your Alpha must defend against a challenge to her authority and the right to be the Leader of the Clan!”

Hushed murmurs from the gathered members of the Clan mumbled out from the masses. Everyone knew that the ‘bald-monkey’ Kayla and their wolf Alpha, Sinja were going to fight, and none of them thought that the human woman had a chance to beat the more formidable Wolf bitch.

“Sinja has accepted the challenge by Kayla. Do the combatants fight to the death or yield?” He questioned.

Everyone chanted “To the Death, To the Death!”

That startled Kayla, she had thought that Sinja and she would fight to submission, now the stakes had changed and their very lives were held in the balance of the outcome of the fight. Kayla knew that Sinja would kill her if she got the chance, and that made Kayla nervous. She had thought, by challenging Sinja, she would gain a measure of respect, but now her own life was on the line.

“To the Death it is then.” Fenris responded. “Combatants!! Enter the circle.” He called out loudly.

A large circle of stones was below the raised platform the Fenris stood upon. On one side, stood Sinja and on the other was Kayla. Both of them ready to fight, but who was going to die?

Sinja made the first move, leaping across the circle right in front of Kayla. Not prepared for such a swift attack, Kayla barely turned before being swatted to the side by one of Sinja’s large front paws. The wolf bitch’s nails dug into human woman’s side and left deep furrowed cuts the instant they were made.

Kayla hit the ground and rolled to her feet, the stinging burn of the cuts to her side filling her with foreboding dread. She had to strike back, even if she couldn’t win, she had to make sure that Alpha Bitch worked for every drop of blood.

“Hmm. You are fast.” Said Sinja. “But you are no match for me.” And she dove right at Kayla’s face, her jaws revealing sharp teeth, ready to slice into the human bitch.

Kayla dove underneath Sinja’s lunge and raised up quickly as the wolf bitch flew over her. Kayla’s shoulder rammed into the soft underbelly of the female wolf with incredible force. Sinja let out an audible ‘OOF’, and staggered a little when she landed hard on the ground.

Sinja braced her rear legs beneath her and jumped at Kayla again, but the human female had rolled onto her back, kicked out with both legs right as Sinja was coming down from a high leap and Kayla struck her with both feet, right under the wolf bitch’s jaw.

It sounded like a crack of thunder as Sinja’s jaw snapped shut hard with Kayla’s attack. The wolf bitch impacted with the ground, her snout digging a furrow in the dirt, but before she could recover from the human’s surprising assault, Sinja felt the weight of the human bitch drop onto her back and she opened her eyes just in time to see Kayla’s doubled-up fists slam into her head, and then again and again as the human female pummeled the wolf bitch into unconsciousness.

An astonished gasp came from the crowd as Sinja’s head hit the ground again and again until her tongue lolled out of her head. Kayla stopped hitting the wolf bitch once she was out cold, then carefully rolled off the unconscious Sinja and stood, panting heavily to the side.

Inside the make-shift arena, there was no sound other than Kayla’s heavy breathing, everyone in the Clan was standing with mouths agape in complete shock that a mere human female had bested the larger and more deadly wolf female.

Fenris tried to be impassive to the situation when he came down off the raised platform and stood next to Kayla. “Is she dead?” He asked without malice or remorse as he looked over Sinja’s unconscious body, but the gleam in his eyes as they fell on Kayla’s sexy body were definitely a dead giveaway as to whom he desired to have won the battle.


Kayla reached a shaky hand through Sinja’s thick fur to feel if the wolf bitch still had a pulse. “No. She is still alive.” She sighed thankfully.

“It was to the death, Kayla.” Fenris stated flatly. “You must finish her.”

“Fuck that.” Kayla responded as she whirled around to face Fenris. “The Clan is stronger with her alive. And I’m not killing her just because she was literally a bitch to me.” Kayla said it loudly enough so that everyone could hear her words. Despite the way Sinja treated her, Kayla really did respect the female wolf.

“You are the victor, it is your choice, but I warn you now, Sinja will not take losing well.” Fenris informed her.

“I don’t care, Fenris, because I’m the Alpha now.” Kayla replied. “Sinja lost, plain and simple and it was a fair fight. Does anyone dispute this?” She said loud and clear, turning an angry glare toward the rest of the gathered clan.

Not a soul spoke out and a few even stated that Kayla was the winner, fairly.

“Then you are all dismissed! The fight is over.” Kayla said using her newly won authority. No one said anything else and left the room quietly without so much as a glance backward.

“And now, Fenris, I think it is time the Clan started listening to their new Alpha Bitch.” Kayla said. “But first, I need food and a bed.”
“Grrrr… This way.” Growled Fenris.

He guided Kayla behind some heavy drapes at the back of the Den. A large mattress was the only thing there.

“Ugh. This is it? This is where you and Sinja slept?” Kayla complained.

“I like it just fine.” Replied Fenris defensively. “What’s wrong with it?”

“The Clan is not going to live like common dogs anymore, Fenris.” She responded then winced in pain at her torn side.

Fenris approached and sniffed her side. “You are wounded.” He said with genuine concern.

Kayla spun around and smacked Fenris on the nose. “Back off ‘Fido’, I’m not hurt enough that I can’t take you down too.”

Fenris backed off, placing a paw on his muzzle.
