I am the last of my kind. For the last 500 years the humans and the anthromorphs got along peacefully with only minor skirmishes between the two races, and then 15 years ago the previous human king passed away unexpectedly one night and the crown was passed onto his son. Once the new king was on the throne things started to go wrong. The king had a horrible experience with a rouge band of anthromorphs and ever since that even he feared and hated the race, and then about 5 years ago the king cracked.
The king started sending out bands of soldiers around to the anthromorph villages with orders to kill every single anthromorph man, woman, and child no one was to be left alive, and the villages were to be razed to the ground. There were many villages and after five years all but one of them were attacked and destroyed. This last village was tucked away in a small forest and rather hard to get to thanks to the forest being tucked away in a small corner of the kingdom where it went rather unnoticed for the time that the other villages were being destroyed.
The village knew well what was happening in the rest of the kingdom. They knew they had no place to go so for now they stayed. They posted sentries up around the village and had an evacuation plan so that if they were attacked even though they would have no final destination they would at least be able to get away and survive.
Then one night in late fall the imminent threat that had loomed over them finally fell upon them. The soldiers snuck up to the edges of the city and killed the sentries, then the commander of the human army gave the order to attack. The humans rushed the village in mass and started attacking. A few moments after the attack began a group of anthros that had stationed themselves at the temple heard the commotion and rang the alarm bell to alert the village that it was under attack.
In a small house on the opposite edge of the village from the attack an anthro wolf and his mate resided. The male hears the alarm bell and shakes his mate awake. "raella wake up" he says "the village is under attack." His mate quickly gets up and dresses, while she is doing so he throws on a pair of trousers and waits for his mate to get ready. When his mate is ready he takes her hand and they leave their cottage heading into the woods away from the commotion of the attack.
They run through the woods trying to get away from the attack behind them when they come across three soldiers armored and carrying broadswords. The humans spread out a bit and surround the two wolves. "lookey what we have here a couple of maggots running away" the middle soldier says as he draws his sword. "get behind me raella" the male wolf says as he wraps his arm around his mate and pushes her gently behind him as he holds up his hand his claws sharp ready to defend the two of them.
"ohh the little beastie thinks he can defeat us with his hands" the middle soldier says again as he flicks his wrist left and right and the two soldiers that had surrounded the two attack from behind. One of the soldiers grabs his mate as the other attacks him. He slices at the soldier that came at him as he reaches his arm out trying to grab his mate as he calls out "raella" the soldier that grabbed her drags her and places his sword against her throat.
In the few seconds that his attention was away from the soldier behind him, the soldier bashes him on the head and he falls to his knees his mind swimming and his eyes watering. The soldier then grabs his hair and brings his head up making him look at the soldier who was holding onto his mate. "well well looks like you get to see her die" the soldier says as the one holding his mate drags his sword across her throat severing her throat and causeing blood to fly everywhere.
As he watches his mate bleed to death his eyes go blank as he pushes himself hard up against the soldier holding him knocking him onto the ground as he uses his claws in an attempt to kill the soldier, however none of his attacks get through due to the soldiers metal armor. The soldier that killed his wife runs over and drags him off his comrade and holds him tightly. His comrade gets up and grabs his sword and slashes it across the wolves belly gashing it open, as the soldier holding onto the wolf bashes the wolf in the head hard with the pommel of his sword the wolf falling down to the ground barely conscious and bleeding heavily.
The soldier the wolf attacked curses as he looks down at the wolf and says "leave him, let him die a slow painfull death" the other two laugh as they start to leave. As they pass the wolf they each kick him hard causeing his mind to swim even more. Once the soldiers are out of sight the wolf slowly drags himself twords his mate his world slowly going black. He reaches his paw out and places it on her arm as the last of his strength gives out and his head falls flat on the ground, and as the darkness takes him he sees a shadowy figure moveing twords him.
