The Medallion

[luckymoonboy1]

Know I'm going to say this its not done, it also takes place in a magical world in another realm not a planet.




Ch1. Codden

Codden limped through the Cat Mountains. His feet sore, especially his back left paw. He had only stopped crying an hour ago. He turned his head and looked behind him at the plume of smoke that had been his village. It made him cry once again as he turned back into the mountain air that blew his fur around.
He was the last wolf of his tribe everyone else was killed when the Anthros attacked. He had been running from them when one of the huts exploded and hurt his back leg.
There was a strange noise on the wind, he pondered it for a moment before realizing it was an air machine. He quickened his pace and began to search for a place to hide as the sound grew louder. Finally he found a small group of bushes to hide in.
Codden hid there until the sound died out in to the distance. He waited an extra hour before leavening the group of bushes.
Codden began to climb up the rock face to the north of the bushes. Codden didn’t know why he was climbing the rock face but it kept his mind off the village.
After half an hour of climbing, Codden reached the cliff at the top, it was plane and dull. Codden looked out to the east, with the sun on his back, he saw what was left of the village, nothing.
Codden began to cry again. He cried for over an hour when he noticed it would be night soon. So with a final sob he turned to head back down the rock face when a glint of light at the base of a rock caught his eye. He trudged over to the glint and pushed some dirt away from the item. It was a medallion. It was a dark shiny gray, and had a hole cut out of a spot near the top of the medallion, almost like a solar eclipse.
Codden pulled it out of the ground. He put it closer to his face. When his breath touched it he could have sworn that he had seen a blue sky but then again he might just be imagining it.
Codden didn’t know why he was putting it on, but he did, it began to glow. This scared Codden more than the Anthros, for he had been warned about magic, how most magic was evil and hurt those who were careless around it. He yelled, “HELP!”, and blacked out.

Alex stood on the top sky rise . All he could see for miles was sky and debris. Earth disgusted him. How could humanity do something so bad to there home planet, but he didn’t care anymore, that was why he was going to jump.
He had calculated how long it would take him to fall, three minuets. He turned back to the center of the roof. When he got to it he turned and took a deep breath and ran towards the edge and jumped.
Alex didn’t know how long he had been falling when his medallion lit up. A voice echoed in his ear “HELP!” Alex touched the medallion and blacked out.


Ch. 2 First Flight

Codden awoke next to a fire with the sound of water in the distance. Coddens muscles were sore and he hurt all over. He sat up with his hind legs on the soft moss covered ground, and propped himself up with his right leg.
Codden rubbed his stomach, he was hungry. He took a look at his surroundings and found himself in a forest that only the mountains surpassed in height. Codden looked up through the leaves of the ancient trees, and saw that it was cloudy. suddenly Codden herd the sound of breaking twigs and crunching leaves.
"Hello? who's there?" Said Codden. "No need to be alarmed. I'm a friend" said a fox emerging from the woods, “I’m Creed. you must be hungry, here eat this." said creed tossing a white paper package.
Codden opened the package and found smoked fish. "How long have I been asleep?" Codden inquired. " oh, about 2 days.", "2 days! Where are we?". "Near the Endor River Pass.".
"Man I Must have really been out of it." said Codden starring into the fire. The was a long pause. "Where are you from?" Creed asked. "Sidal. And I never told my name it’s Codden." Creed had a surprised look on his face when codden mentioned Sidal. Creed looked Codden squarely in the face, "Really why are you out here?"
"Well Codden began, "the Anthros attacked and I escaped.". Creed looked surprised at this. Creed and Codden talked like this till the sun was in the west, then Creed said "Well, Codden Its getting late and I must be going down the river now. so i guess I will be leaving you." Creed tossed Codden his missing pack, "I filled it with food and other stuff. good bye Codden".
With this creed turned to leave, but Codden spoke “Creed can I come with you? I have no other place to go." Creed turned and saw the longing in Coddens eyes. “ok you can come but we need to hurry my boat is in the river to the south." so Codden stood up and began walking with Creed.

Alex awoke his eyes closed. He was wet and felt like he had jumped off a building, then he remembered that he had jumped off a building. he hurt all over. he was on the dirt. He herd voices: "What is it?". "it looks like a hair less monkey". He sat up "who's there?"
A female voice said "I'm Tunu who, and what, are you?"."My name is Alex, and what do you mean what do you mean by what am I?"." I mean what is your species?" Alex was still trying to make his eyes work. "I'm Human
Duh.", Alex's eyes finally began to work.
Alex winced at what he saw, in front of him a female lion in clothes. Alex's mouth dropped open. "What?" Said the lioness. Alex passed out. 4 lions, 2 male and 2 female, and a wolf came out of the surrounding tree line. "What should we do with him?" Asked a lion. Tunu replied, "Take the human to the ship, Tenlo once he’s on keep him on deck and stay with him until I tell you different. I'll be back at sun down." she turned and leaped into the bushes.

Codden looked at Creeds boat, it was nice. It was about 20’ by 18’. in the middle of the boats deck was a mast about 15’ tall. Coddens eyes moved slowly around the boat looking at multiple sailing devices until it fell upon a trap door in deck. “Creed what is this?” asked Codden. “Ah, that is the hold its were I keep my living quarters. You can go ahead and go down if you want and look around, while I get the boat going.”
Once in the hold Codden began to look around. The hold was as bright as it had been on the deck. Some how the light was emanating from small egg shaped stones. After pondering the stones for a moment Codden began to study other contents of the room. To the left of the ladder was a table and chairs, and on the other side of the table were two doors. Codden looked into these two rooms only to find a bed and furniture in them.
After seeing these he turned his attention to the kitchen like area exactly opposite of the rooms. Codden began to rummage through the shelves and found nothing but pot and pans. After becoming bored at looking around, Codden pulled up a chair and sat down to wait.

Tunu sat in the light of the setting sun, it was warm on her skin. She wanted to stay, but she knew she needed to return to the Majestic Explorer, her ship. It was an air ship. It was also a relatively old ship, only about 75 years or so, but it was the last of its kind.
But at one time there had been thousands but all the others were lost in the Galiam Wars, some 70 years ago, except this one. Its main engine is a large crystal that causes it to fly, and a propeller propels it forward when it can’t glide on the wind.
Suddenly tunu realized that she had been rambling in her mind, as the sun touched the edge of the horizon she turned and broke into a run to the ship, she loved to run-but as not as much as flying.

Alex opened his eyes, the sun was just below the horizon, he herd the voice of the lioness again, “Raise those sails!”. Alex thought a minute, Tunu was her name he believed. Alex looked around and saw that he was on the deck of a ship, a large ship, about 700 meters long by 400 meters wide.
Alex felt a sudden lurch beneath him and felt like he was going to be sick. He ran to the side of the boat, not even noticing the wolf that was following him, once to the side he vomited, not due to the sick felling in the pit of his stomach but because of what he saw. They were flying miles away from the ground.
Alex herd a voice behind him, “Don’t fall or Tunu will kill me.” Alex turned to see a gray wolf, “hello I’m Tenlo, and your name seems to have escaped me?” Alex blinked and gulped, “Alex!”, it came out of his mouth as a yap. “Well Alex I’m going to ask you not to move or I will have to hurt you very badly.”
Alex’s eyes narrowed, and he sank to the deck, his back against the rail, and put his hands over his eyes. This can’t be happening. I jump off a building and this is what happens, I wake up to talking animals and end up on a flying ship.
Alex herd some one yelling, “get those sails up and stabilize that crystal!”. the ship lurched again under Alex and he felt himself fly up and over the rail. Falling, Falling again. He loved falling, it felt like flying.
Alex looked at the ground finally the peace he had wanted to come was going to come, but he couldn’t bring himself to watch as the ground grew closer, he closed his eyes. Alex felt a slow in momentum, and finally a dead stop Alex opened his eyes and saw the ground only feet in front of his face.
He had a sudden surge of his curiosity and wanted to know what the people on that ship had done to him. He was moving again, but this time it was up, up towards the ship. Up and up towards the ship and over the rail. Alex fell onto the deck; sweat dripped onto the wood, he felt the eyes of all the occupants of the deck staring at him. Alex tried to prop himself up on his hands and knees, but didn’t have the energy, instead he rolled over on his back. He saw the animals mouths moving but couldn’t hear what they were saying. Slowly blackness enclosed his mind and he blacked out.

Codden suddenly collapsed onto the bed that Creed had just told him that he could sleep in. A sudden wave of exhaustion rippled through his body. He must be more tired than he thought. Creed had already left his room and said he would be sleeping in the room next to Coddens.
Codden removed his clothes and looked in the mirror and was stunned at what he saw. The body and face of a teenager. He now appeared to be 17 or 18 years old when he was only 10 years old 3 days ago. It must have some thing to do with his medallion. Codden returned to the bed and touched the egg shaped crystal, Creed used these crystals to illuminate the entire ship, and the crystal faded and left the room in total darkness. Codden let all his worries fade away into the bliss of sleep.
