Hello! This is my first fur story, and I'm wanting to make it good. That's why I decided on quite a long one, and one that I can have fun with and mold to a work I'll be proud of. This is just the introduction, which I use to set up the "New Earth" as it's called, and introduce some of the main characters. The begining is rather slow and straightforward, but I plan to incorporate more fantasy-like plotlines and twists (oh, will there be twists ). Now, the bad news...there is a severe lack of yiff in this chapter. C'mon, it's an intro, fursons shouldnt be getting it on already *hears porn music in head* XD

Anyway, there will be lots more to come, hopefully soon: more plot, more characters, more sex :P, more, more, more!!! I don't need feedback to keep going, but any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and I'll be sure to credit anybody for their input. And now, the boring part...

Warning. This series is of a fictional nature, and involves violence, strong language, and sex between anthromorphic beings (M/M, M/F, whatever I decide) If this is not what you're looking for, or you are under 18 (or 21, depending on your state/country) go back a few pages or send yahoo an angry email :) You have been warned!

And there's thanks already! This one goes to Tayles, who was the first to read this first chapter, and provide feedback! Thanks Tayles, you rule! XD

The New Earth - Chap 1 - Enter the Dragon

Uzanti Mastis stood impatiently outside the large tent that was set up for Clubs Whek at his university's main square. "Where is Nat? She should have been here 15 minutes ago!" He thought, scanning the huge crowds for her very noticable crown of gold feathers. He still found it odd looking for feathers instead of her usual multi-colour human hair, but it was something he was just going to have to get used to, as she had just morphed that weekend. Come to think of it, he could only see one other human other than him in the massive crowd of furs going through the university square during the interclass time period.

"Why haven't I morphed yet? I really hope I'm not going to be one of those people that didn't change." Uzanti mused, still looking around, which wasn't that hard, considering he was still taller than most creatures in the crowds, at 6'7". He decided to take a seat on the high curb that surrounded the grass and garden area in the middle of the square, and look over his genetic notes from his last class. Natalie Schulof was in his genetics class too, but wanted to talk to Dr. Cliffton regarding her morphing that happened during the weekend. Nat was so happy when she called and told Uzanti that she had finally morphed into a beatiful golden eagle, and Uzanti tried his best to be happy for her while he was secretly very dissapointed. Nat was the last human he personally knew and now that she morphed, he felt even more alone than normal. Nat was also the only one of his friends that knew he was gay.

Natalie had become one of the most beautiful avian morphs Uzanti had yet seen. Always rather graceful due to her gymnastic classes, her grace and beauty was now heightened by the shimmering gold plumage of her eagle body. Muscular, but lithe, her 6' and 175 pound frame hid power that most furs didn't know was there. With wing-like arms and hands, she was one of the rarer types of avian morphs, meaning that she gained the ability to fly.

Uzanti looked up again from his notebook, but still couldn't see her anywhere. He could picture her still chating away with Dr. Cliffton, laughing and sharing stories. He got along well with Dr. Cliffton too, but he just felt odd whenever he discussed the morphing, which was his area of study. Dr.Cliffton was a raccoon morph, sharing the typical markings and mask that accompanied such a fur. He was quite short for a fur, at 5'5" and 200 pounds, and was rather muscular, albeit a bit stocky too. The raccoon also had a huge bushy tail, which he still seemed to have problems controlling, even though he morphed in the first month of the outbreak of the virus.

Looking back his notes, Uzanti read about the history of the RED virus. The RED virus (Retro-Evolutionary DNA virus as it had been termed) emerged about five years ago, originating, as far as researchers can figure, from a iceberg that had floated south, near the coast of Labrador, Newfoundland, Canada. Current studies have determined that the virus was present since the dawn of the dinosaurs, but dissappeared during the iceage as the dinosaurs, its only host at the time, were killed off. Some viruses though were able to survive by evolving to survive in a type of hibernation in the ice. Scientists say that the RED virus is the most advanced virus ever found, able to evolve at any moment. This made it so that by the time the virus thawed out and reached the mainland, it could not only infect the most complex organism it met (humans), but could easily jump from person to person by collecting in pores and travelling by the victims evaporating sweat. Once infected, the virus first replicates a bit by its own mechanisms so it can spread, then becomes dormant in the persons cells for an undeterminate amount of time. Eventually, the virus awakens, activating segements of the host cell's DNA to replicate itself more. This is what initiates the morphing. It has been long hypothized that we hold in out DNA the genetic code of all possible life. This isn't all that unbelievable, as the human genome is huge, and only 5 percent of it is used in our regular life. Scientists now believe that the RED virus, while activating DNA segements so that it can replicate, does so randomly but still with a pattern to it, eventually activating and leaving on all the segements needed to change the host into a new creature.

"Which is what causes the morphing, a relatively painless process that last amazingly only 10 minutes or so, creating a human/animal hybrid." Nat monotoned, looking over Uzanti's shoulder and reading his highlighted and asterixed sentence, smiling to herself and wrapping her wings/hands around him, closing the notebook. Today she was wearing a pair of small purple slacks, and a pink sleeveless top. Maybe a bit much for school, but she was excited to show off her new avian body. "Don't worry Uzanti, you'll soon morph too. Dr. Cliffton said that by current estimates, only 1 percent of the population won't morph, meaning you'd have to be like 1 in a million. Although you are 1 in a million to me!"

"Thanks, I think." Uzanti smiled back at his best friend, putting the book back in his bag and sitting up. "So you and Dr. Cliffton have a good chat?" "Yep, though we talked a lot about you...he really likes you, you know. It kinda hurts him when you ignore him like that." Nat muttered, sitting down next to him on the curb. "I never ignored him!" Uzanti said defensivly, looking at his friend. "You did...in a way. He called out to you, as you were packing up to leave, but you were in your own little world. You've been zoning out quite a bit lately, I hope it has something to do with what you want to talk to me about, so we can figure this out. You ready now?"

"What, here!?" Uzanti looked around at all the furs in the area, and started to blush. The crowds had died down a bit because of classes, but many fursons still hung around the area, looking through the club tent or sitting on the grass chatting. "I was hoping maybe finding somewhere quite, like in the stacks of the library, so that way..." "Ah, come on!" Nat proclaimed. "I hate going down into those dungeons! Let's just talk here, no furs can hear us." "Ok, well, you know my roomate Trey..." Uzanti started. "Oh, is this all. If you're going to tell me you have a crush on him, don't worry, I already knew. That was one of the reasons I broke up with that wolf 2 weeks ago." Nat smiled at him.

Trey Sutherland was Uzanti's other best friend, and his roomate for 3 years now. The wolf was quite large, at 6'4" and 250 pounds of solid muscle. He worked out everyday, and it easily showed in his sculpted arms, legs and chest. Trey had grey fur with lighter, almost white fur along his stomach, reaching from the underside of his muzzle to his crotch and the inside of his legs to his knees. His tail was rather furry, mostly grey with white/grey on the underside.

"What! You guys broke up! How come you or Trey didn't tell me...for that matter, how did I not figure it out!" Uzanti blurrted out. "Ha, you're really cute when you're confused, you know that?" Uzanti just stared at Nat, waiting for an explanation. "Ok, ok, well, you know we were having a bit of a fight right. Well it was then I realized that we just werent right for each other. We were too different, and he was always very distant with me. I also remembered how happy you looked whenever we fought...I know you didn't mean to feel that way, and I understand it was just because you had a crush on him."

"Oh...K, well that makes me feel a bit better, now that I don't have a crush on my best friends boyfriend..." Uzanti mumbled. "Well, are you going to tell him...I mean, sure he dated me, but we never did anything, and to tell you the truth, he was rather uncomfortable around me a lot of the time...he could be bi, or maybe gay, and just hasn't realized it yet. I would love to see the two of you get together." Nat thought outloud.

"Really, oh! Well, no...I could never tell him...I mean he's my roomate and my best friend, and I don't want to ruin what we have...but I would like to know if he feels the same as me...but I could never...I mean....ARGH!" Uzanti stammered.

"Ha ha ha, Uzanti you're priceless you know that. Your face is so red right now...hey, are you ok?" Nat said, starting to look a little worried as Uzanti clutched his stomach. "I...uh...I don't know...my stomach hurts..." he grunted out, still clutching his stomach and now kneeling on the ground next to Natalie. "It must be something I ate...urg...but I don't know what..." "Wait, are you feeling pain in your stomach, tingling in your limbs and have a dry mouth!!" Natalie shouted out, attracting the stares of nearby furs. "Ya....so!?" Uzanti shouted back, kinda mad that Nat cared more about what sounded like symptoms then the fact that he was in a great amount of pain.

"Uzanti, I thought you would know, looking over your genetics notes all the time like you do...you're morphing, thats exactly what I went through on Sunday!" She practicly screamed out when she said morphing, eliciting more looks and smiles from the surrounding furs. Morphing, although nearly everyfur had gone though it, still attracted a crowd when it happened in public...furs had a kind of curoisity to what the human will become. Morphing had become a spectacle over the years and had even been featured in quite a few reality shows, but because of the rareness of humans now a public morphing was not a common occurance. The number of people surrounding Nat and Uzanti was increasing every second, whispers and mumbles occasionaly reaching Uzanti's ears, furs saying things like "Wow, I've never seen another creature's morphing...." or "I wonder what he's going to be..."

"Stand back, let me through, I'm a scientist!!" Natalie could hear Dr. Cliffton trying to make his way through the crowd, inwardly laughing at his hillarious attempt to make others move by the fact that he was a scientist. Like the little raccoon could ever make anybody move. Looking at Uzanti, she quietly whispered to him, "Uzanti, Dr. Cliffton is here, I'm going to go get him so that he can help....I'll be right back, ok?" "Ok...uh...but hurry!" was all Uzanti could get out.

"Dr. Cliffton, over this way!" Nat yelled, pushing through the fur and feathers and scales surrounding her and Uzanti, trying to find the small raccoon doctor. He eventually appeared right in front of her, slipping between the legs of a giant tiger, eliciting a grunt of surprise from the feline. "K, I'm here...what's happening, who is it?" he panted, climbing back up to his hindpaws. "It's Uzanti! He's finally morphing, but he seems to be in a lot more pain than I went through...c'mon, this way!" The two made their way back to Uzanti. "Uzanti, are you OK, what do you feel right now!" Dr. Cliffton said very calmly...which just infuriated Uzanti even more. "What do you think I feel!!" My stomach is in knots, and it feels like I'm on fire!"

"On fire, what...oh crap! Natalie, how long has he been like this? Quickly!" Dr.Cliffton demanded. "Uh...almost 5 minutes now...wait, that does seem a bit odd, I was almost done morphing by that..." but Nat didn't even get a chance to finish her sentence before Dr.Cliffton yelled out, "EVERONE, BACK OFF, NOW!!!!!" Most people backed off in surprise, hearing such determination from a small raccoon, especially the furs that knew him. "What's wrong Dr.Cliffton, why are you getting people to back...ugh" she grunted as Dr.Cliffton grabbed her around her waist and yanked her back a bit with him. "What was that for!" "We got to give him room, or you might get hurt" he answered, once again calm, just watching Uzanti with intense interest.

"Hurt, how the hell will I get hurt when he's the one in pain!" She yelled back, still rubbing her side, more amazed at her favorite teacher's rough handling of her than any pain he caused. "Think back to when you changed, did you ever feel hot?" he asked, still calmly watching. "Uh, no, now that you mention it, I actually felt cold all over...why does that matter?" Nat asked, taking her eyes off the cringing Uzanti for a second to look at Dr. Cliffton. "Well, I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I've heard of only one morphing that involves the feeling of heat...most involve coolness, as you experienced, due to the numbing of the skin so the hair, feathers or scales can slide out without pain. If Uzanti is morphing into that creature, we need to stay back at least 5 feet, or so I've heard." "Why, what's going to happen, and what's he turning into?" Nat asked, turning back to Uzanti. "Just watch, I've heard it's spectacular." Dr. Cliffton answered. "Uzanti, be strong."

Meanwhile, the crowd was growing around Uzanti, as people started to get curious as to what was happening. They could hear the grunts and moans of Uzanti, and most knew that something was wrong, all having gone through the same thing without so much pain. Soon, cheers of support started, making both Nat and Dr.Cliffton grin. Uzanti could barely hear any of this support from his friends or the random strangers that had gathered. His world had shrunken to the pain that had now travelled from his stomach to his entire body. Then the heat got worse, and he started to scream.

"UZANTI!" Nat yelled, moving to him. "NO! Nat, stay back!" Dr.Cliffton said, grabbing her arm, stopping her just in time before Uzanti was engulfed in flames. "UZANTI!!" Nat screamed, amongst a collective "Whoa!" from the crowd, everyone's cheers and good lucks turning into shouts of confusion. "Its ok, everyone, its normal, at least for his morphing!" Dr. Cliffton explained to the crowd. "Normal, how can my best friend spontaneously combusting be normal!" Nat sobbed, now crying for her friend. "Because, he's becoming a dragon." Dr. Cliffton all but whispered, but it didn't matter how quitely he tried to keep it, as Natalie then blurted out in surprise, "A DRAGON!!"

Soon everbody in the crowd was repeating "Dragon", "Dragon". On the New Earth, as it had been termed by the younger generation ever since the morphing began, dragons had been a huge surprise. Although very rare, the fact that about 10 dragons, now 11, had appeared since the morphing had began had started a debate among the scientists. Some believed that this proves that dragons existed in the past, others believed that the dragon morph was just the result of combinations of morphs, like a lizard and bird. Whatever the reason, a dragon was still a rarity, and always big news.

Uzant on the other hand had no idea what he was becoming, all sound was drowned out by the roaring of the flame that seemingly came from his own body, but he was finally relieved of his pain. Since the fire started all around him, although he didn't know where it came from, he had started to feel better, almost normal. He thought that as kinda odd, considering the fact that he was on fire. But all it felt to him like he was lighting a match near his skin. He could feel the heat and smell the hair burning, but wasn't uncomfortable. But he thought that too soon, as a sudden pain started near his shoulder blades and the small of his back.

At that point, the fire died down and every was staring, hoping to get a view of this new dragon. Slowly, Uzanti started to get up, and everone gasped at the size of the creature that stood, although wobbly, before them. At 6'7", Uzanti was always big but a little skinny. Now, he was a dragon that was at least 7' tall and 300 pounds. He was all muscle, which could be seen rippling beneath his tight skin of scales. Stepping out of the flames, which seemed to still being fuelded by the grass, everyone saw that he was a really dark gray, almost a black, with a silver belly and silver skin between his wings, which Uzanti was furling and unfurling subconciously, testing the new limbs. His nails had been replaced with sharp claws, a deep black in colour, and two black horns jutted out from his upper forehead. They didn't stick out though, they seemed to follow the curve of his skull backwards. His ears were pointed and nearly flat against his head, and his muzzle was now stretched out with a slight point to it.

Nat moved away from Dr.Cliffton, hesistantly approaching her best friend, staring just as hard as everbody else. "Uzanti? How do you feel?" Uzanti just looked at himself, checking out his new body, flexing his muscles, still messing around with his wings and swishing his long tail gently back and forth. "Uzanti?" Nat asked again. "Ya, Nat, it's me, I'm fine...actualy I'm better than fine! I'm a dragon, look at me!" He smiled, rushing up to Nat, and hugging her with his large arms.

"Oh, Uzanti, you morphed, and you're hot too! I'm sure you'll have no problem talking to Trey now!" She cried into his embrace, so happy for her friend. "Maybe..but right now, I think I want to go find some clothes, I feel a little exposed..." he mumbled. Nat looked at his face, and his shy smile, then looked down. Sure enough, the fire had burned off all his clothes, and his sheath and balls were on full display to the large crowd, thankfully covered by Nat's own body at the moment. "Here, Uzanti, I think you might need this" said Dr.Cliffton, handing Uzanti his own lab coat off his back, leaving him with his t-shirt and jeans on. Dr.Cliffton had always been a casual teacher, both in dress and manner. Uzanti looked at the doctor in appreciation, but found that the small raccoon was blushing, unable to meet his eyes. Uzanti always liked his proferssor, and thought they were friends, but never seen him act like this. He took the lab coat, nodded his thanks, and tied it around his waist, since the coat would never cover him now when worn normally. He stood there, starting to blush when he realized what it must look like, a huge dragon in a lab coat wrapped like a diaper around his private areas. At this thought, he started laughing out loud, and everyone else started laughing too. "Oh Uzanti, it's great to see you back to your old self again!" Nat managed to get in, amonst fits of giggles.

"Hey, Nat, Dr.Cliffton, want to go into the community center so I can get some new clothes and some food? I'm starved!" Uzanti asked, once the laughing died down. "Sure, Uzanti, lets go! I know I was really hungry after my morphing" said Nat. "Ya, I think I was too, let's go." said Dr.Cliffton, finally looking at Uzanti, now that his lab coat was covering him, a slight blush still coming through under his fur.

**************************************************

Later that eveving, Uzanti entered the basement apartment that he shared with his roomate, almost drunk on the feelings and memories from the day. Nat and Greg (Dr.Cliffton insisted that they all call him by name, considering that they were all becoming good friends), had bought him all the food he could eat, and that was quite a bit too. The morphing is supposed the produce great hunger, which makes sense considering all the tissue and muscle that is created in the process. After that they headed to the campus clothes store, which was probably a good thing, as Uzanti was starting to draw stares. It's not everyday that furs see a giant muscular dragon walking half naked in what looked like a diaper through the community center. In the clothing store Uzanti bought 2 pairs of sweatpants, with which the rat that worked at the counter increased the size of the tail hole, and 2 sweatshirts. He would have to go for more clothes later, but that would do for now. Then they just spent the rest of the time talking in the foodcourt, as Nat and Uzanti didn't have any more classes that day. Greg eventually had to leave for a lecture, so Nat then drove Uzanti home, saving him from the embarrasement of the stares of the furs on the bus. In reality, Uzanti started liking the stares. When he was younger, he always got stares for his height (he was always tall for his age), then the morphings happened. Although at first he was glad to not be the centre of attention anymore, he did miss it at times. Now he was the centre again, and it was great. He could feel himself breaking out of the shell he imposed on himself lately, and he was glowing with happiness.

Trey saw this as soon as he walked in, it almost stood out more than his morphing. "Wow Uzanti, you've changed, and I don't mean just your appearance! It's about time it happened, I'm real happy for ya!" he exclaimed, looking at his roomate in his sweatsuit. Uzanti just smiled harder, and Trey blushed when he realized that he was staring. "We..well, I got spaghetti ready, I'm sure you're hungry." "Sure am, I'll be right there!" Uzanti said as he bounded off to his room with his backpack, almost bashing his head off the ceiling on the way. Trey just smiled to himself, happy for his roomate, but a little concerned with his feelings. "Why did I keep staring at him like that...especially now, it was like I never saw a fur before...heh, although it's true, I've never seen a dragon. And he's so much bigger now, I wonder if he's big elsewhere too?" He stopped stirring the spaghetti sauce, dumbstruck at what he just thought. "Why did I think that...I'm not gay, am I? No." Trey just continued stirring the sauce, pushing such thoughts from his mind.

"That smells great roomie." Uzanti said, putting his giant paws on Treys shoulders to look over into the pot, almost making Trey jump out of his fur. "Uzanti has changed so much, he was always so shy, he never touched me before, I kinda like his gentle touch....no!" Trey thought, moving away from Uzanti. "Um...could you set the table, I'm 'bout done." Trey asked, and Uzanti just smiled, and went into the cupboards for the plates.

While Uzanti went into the small dining/living room, Trey just stood there over the stove, thinking. "Why, why do I keep feeling these things? I'm friends with Uzanti, nothing more! I like girls, not guys! Why do I keep having to convince myself of these things?!" Trey then rubbed his eyes, trying to clear his mind. He always liked Uzanti, since they became roomates in first year university until now, their third year. They were in all the same classes except 2 since first year, same as Natalie. That's how they all become friends, and how he and Nat started dating. But if he was completely honest with himself, he always thought of Uzanti when he was with Nat, the sad look on his face whenever they cuddled or kissed. Trey reached out, turning off the burner of the stove on the back control panel. "You know what, I love Uzanti, why have I tried to hide this from myself for 3 years? But he's not gay, why did this have to happen. I'll have to hide it, I don't want to lose my best friend. ARGGHH!!" This last yell was said outloud, as his paw touched the pot, singing the fur and slightly burning the skin underneath. At this, Uzanti came bounding in, bashing his head off the arch of the kitchen entryway. "Shit! Ow...what happened Trey?!" He asked, more concerned for the wolf than the pain of his forehead or the crack he put in the plaster.

"Nothing important, I just burned my paw on the pot, stupid mistake, I'm fine" Trey answered, his paw under the faucet, cold water running. "Let me see, you know I have my first aid certificate." Uzanti asked, pulling Trey's hand from under the running water. Trey winced in pain, but let the gentle dragon take his paw. Uzanti looked at it, and finally said "I'll go get my frist aid kit. It's ok, not too serious, but I should put some antiseptic cream on it," he said, as he went towards the bathroom. "K" Trey mumbled. "He's so kind...sigh." He put his paw under the faucet again until Uzanti got back, the coolness helping numb the stinging pain. "I hurt myself thinking about him, I'm going to kill myself lost in my thoughts like that...I'm going to tell him...soon....I'm going to have to tell Uzanti that I'm in love with him, or else go crazy...." Trey stopped when he heard a gasp behind him, then realized he was talking out loud, and Uzanti was right there, just staring at him, holding the first aid kit. "Uzanti, no, thats not what I meant...It's just that...well....you see..." Trey stumbled for excuses as Uzanti approached him, taking his hand from the water again, drying it with a towel from the sink.

"It's ok, Trey, just hold still" Uzanti said quitely, applying a bead of cream onto the burn, then a small bandage, the type that released easily from fur. Trey just stared up at Uzanti. He just practically confessed his love to him, and he wasn't freaking out. How could he still be calm after hearing that his best friend was gay, and in love with him.

Uzanti then put the towel down and the cream back into the kit he brought in with him. He then turned around and smiled at Trey. "You know what, this has been the best day of my life. I finally morphed, and I'm this cool looking dragon, had a great day with Nat and Greg, uh, Dr.Cliffton's name is Greg by the way...and the person that has been one of my best friends for 3 years, as well as my secret crush..." Trey was shocked to hear that part, "just said he loved me." Uzanti looked up from the floor he was looking at during his little speach, and looked into Trey's eyes. "Yes Trey, I love you too, I always have..." he moved up to Trey, looking at his paw, then into his eyes again. Trey moved forward then, and locked Uzanti into a passionate kiss.

Meanwhile, the pot of spaghetti and sauce sat, forgotten on the stove...

To be continued...
