Planet of Magic
On a distant planet, there is a source called magic. Every few years, a meteor hit's the planet and takes off a chunk filled with magical energies. This planet is so massive that earth itself was actually one of these chunks. The magic in earth formed the planet of earth but now it's magic has been wasted up. The animals on the planet are very much like the ones on earth due to it being the planet's origin. Except the magical energies have transformed the animals into Anthromorphic beings. Due to the planet existing longer than earth, the species technology along with it's magic is so far advanced in history, that earth has no hope of competing.
Now the planet's story unfolds....
Dak was sitting on a hover bench in his workshop, working out the details in his new space ship he was building. Dak is only 18 years old and has a college scholarship in designing weapons for the military.
One such weapon is of his own design he has taken precautions in mastering it incase they need a teacher. This weapon is known as the Blaster Blade and is a combination of pistol and long sword. The handle is actually a pistol with a longer handle to act as a sword handle as well. It has a trigger and a muzzle with a sword blade at the tip of the muzzle. The blade is hallowed out in a narrow passageway to allow bullets to be shot through the tip of the gun yet despite this hallow chamber, the blade is extremely durable. And the muzzle is strong enough to support heavy melee attacks and blocks without the blade breaking off or the muzzle snapping. The handle is slanted so it can act as a gun handle or sword handle and the blade is about 3 feet long.
He was currently wearing his blaster blade on his back with a strap on holster to hold it. As he sat at his bench working on the ship's blueprints, his sister came into the room. The workshop was so cluttered with weapons he had designed, that his sister had to go around the back entrance. Stepping over pistols, riffles, and swords, she managed to make it to him. "Brother, supper is ready" she said bowing to him. It was common courtesy for females to bow in the presence of males and for everyone to bow to their elders. Dak was both of these to her. Standing up from his workshop, he smiled and turned around. Dak and his sister are both Hyena. Dak was wearing a yellow vest with green cargo pants and his sister wore a pink dress with a blue hair bow. "come, let us eat" he said as they left the workshop. The blue prints were finished anyways...
"brother..." said his sister as they were walking home which was 100 feet away. "Yes Anya?" asked Dak. "Will you teach me to use a blaster blade like you?" she stopped, and turned to face him. Dak stopped and looked into her eyes. "I can't give you a gun blade, I have a military contract. But I can design a non contract weapon for you..." he said smiling. "Okay, I'll go with that" she said as they walked the rest of the way without talking.
As they walked into the house, a crowd of hyena burst into the entrance room and shouted "Surprise!" it was a surprise party for Dak to celebrate his birthday. He had forgotten all about it. "Guys" said Dak as his friends hugged him. He smiled and set his blaster blade on the coat wrack and joined the party.
"hey mom" said Dak to his mother who was watching his presents for him. "yes dear?" asked his mother. "What do you think will happen to me in my new job?" he asked. She smiled. "You design weapons for our military to protect our people. That is a noble cause even if it does harm others. I think you will soar in the ranks." she said nodding in the direction of his blaster blade.
He smiled and went to the buffet which was serving his favorite food.
After an hour of partying, it was time for his presents. All of them were good and what he wanted, a new set of tools for his weapons which his old ones were long since worn out, a new dagger which he could use to train with. And even a book on fencing. He did love to sword fight as a hobby.
But his father gave him an extra present. "Open it son... see what it is." he said quietly. A little surprised by his father's quiet stature, Dak slowly opened his gift. When he saw what was inside, his jaw dropped. "DAD!" he shouted. "This is.... How much did you spend.... I can't believe it" he said hugging his father tightly. "it's a magical orb. There are billions scattered around the planet. They can be merged with a person to use magic. Each of the billion orbs has billions of copies and each orb and it's copies contain one specific spell. This orb contains Fire Ball" said his father. "how do I merge with it?" asked Dak. "all you do is simply crush it with both hands, it will turn into light and absorb into your body. You can then use the magic possessed within it. Dak held the orb in his cupped hands. It was about the size of a baseball and was red in color with fire swimming around inside it. Dak began to crush the orb with both hands and it turned into light and was absorbed into his body. He felt warm but the extra warmth soon vanished.
"Can I test it dad?" he asked. "Sure son" said his father as everyone walked outside to see the new gift. As Dak was outside with his father, he saw a target set up. Holding out his right hand and smiling he thought of the magic. "Fire Ball" he said as his arm began to glow red. A ball of flame appeared several inches in front of his palm yet it did not seem to burn him nor even effect him with its heat. Dak pushed the ball hard and it was sent flying towards the target. When it hit, the ball exploded the target in a blast of flames. The blast was the size of a beach ball yet the target was completely obliterated. "Awesome!" shouted Anya as she saw her brother's present in action. Everyone clapped and cheered as Dak smiled.
After the party, Dak went back to his work shop with his buster blade and his new tools to construct his space ship. It was supposed to be the size of a car and seat two people. It would have two laser guns on it, one mounted on the top, the other on the bottom so nobody could sneak attack from above or below. It also looked similar to a motorcycle without wheels except it covered the entire driver from the vacuum of space.
It took him three weeks to build but eventually he was ready to drive it. "hey Anya, want to take a ride with me?" he asked. "Sure!" she said excited. "Where are we going?" she asked. "To the market. I want to see what other orbs they have there. I was finally paid by the military, currently. I'm filthy rich!" said Dak as they hopped into the ship and took off for the town market.
