Chapter Text
The world is a strange place now. Its not like what it use to be 50 years ago.
First scientists fucked around with human and animal genes and somehow made literal two-legged anthropomorphic animals of almost every species, who could speak, feel and learn like humans can.
Society had dubbed this new animalistic race as Bestials. Which, cruelly, means savage and inhuman.
It took almost a whole two decades for Bestials to be accepted into society. The main reason for that being that the first generation of Bestials were once humans so there forth should be treated as humans. Though as great and progressive as that sounds, unfortunately, not everyone is as accepting. And to this day, Bestials are still treated as lesser beings amongst humans.
And if having literal permanent real life furries walking around wasn’t enough, of course, scientist’s 30 years ago just had to fuck around a little bit more and some big space exploration company just had to invent a literal portal to another planet in another solar system, that just so happened to have life on it.
It wasn’t till a decade after the mission did society find out about the new life and protested, only then did the government announce the new celestial race.
The new race from Gliese 667 Cc. A super earth that orbits a red dwarf star.
Two species of the same race. The one that inhabited the hotter side of the planet were called Fos Gliesales. And one that inhabited the colder side of the planet were called Skotinos Gliesales.
while both species share the similar traits like their tall and thin body shape, their individually unique bioluminescent markings, long slender tail, claws and shape teeth, white pupils, their individually unique colours and even patterns. There are traits that both species do not share.
The ones of the day have large frills around their head that look like sun rays, the males having 7 while the females have 5. And the ones of the night having multiple much smaller frills around the base of a large tail-like muscle at the back of their head with a bioluminescent bulb at the very end, the females usually having theirs length past their thighs whilst the male’s ones usually barely reaching their waist.
Despite Gliesales being so well hidden by the government for a decade to then be freely walking around as citizens for another two, they have the least amount of respect and rights then any other race in this country. If the Bestials weren’t hated enough Gliesales were hated tenfold.
Not to mention that in the first decade of them being here they were stripped of their rights as living beings and treated like lab rats by the very same human scientists that brought them here in the first place, just to then be metaphorically thrown into society and expected to behave acceptable by human standards and expected to just know every law and follow every rule and just navigate themselves through this complicated system. Ya know. Without any help or guidance.
Had a native language you’ve grown up speaking? BOOM! You gotta know English now.
Had any religion your planet had? BOOM! Can’t do that here its not legal yet.
Had any laws you followed on your planet? BOOM! You gotta follow these big lists of ones now.
Had any social expectations back home? BOOM! You gotta follow human social expectations now.
And you’d think if they didn’t like it here, they’d just go home, right?
Oh no, no no no no.
life’s not that easy now is it.
Turns out, that damn portal that brought them here in the first place is one way for Gliesales, And two way for humans. You heard that right. Apparently, humans can go in and out once and not ever again while Gliesales can go in and never come back out.
And you’d think they’d fix that right? Wrong. Turns out, those same damn scientists and the government want nothing to do with that planet anymore and have called the mission off.
Stupid huh?
Youd often think to yourself how absolutely dumb that is. Like… who drags a bunch of people involuntarily to a planet they want nothing to do with just to turn around and say hey! You can’t go back now! And we’re not gonna help you! Good luck!
You weren’t into politics or anything but that alone pisses you off. And who’s to blame for their pain and misery? Your species of course! Humans.
Despite Gliesales being around longer than you’ve been born, you’ve never actually interacted with one yourself before. You’ve read up about them obviously and have even seen one before, but the poor girl already looked terrified to be out in public let alone have a human try to talk to her.
You’ve always been fascinated by Bestials and Gliesales since you first learnt about them. But mostly the Gliesales.
Like what kid wouldn’t? a celestial race, non-earthly beings. Who wouldn’t want to know all about them?
Unfortunately, your love for learning about Gliesales was almost always shut down by your racist, speciest, bigot of parents. They are by far the biggest bigots towards Gliesales you know. And so, most of your research was done online or when you were at a library.
Your 16 now and heading into grade 11. You begged your parents for years to take you out of the all human public school you were stuck in and to transfer you to a private school you’d been looking at for years.
Your parents sucked yeah, but you knew they almost always put your learning first before their bigotry. If this school was going to get your grades up, they were willing to put you in despite their discomfort about you being around another race or specie.
And after years of begging, they finally allowed it for your last years of school. Though with strict rules that you do not talk to a single Bestial or Gliesale and avoid them as much as I can.
They never actually made you swear or agree to any of their terms so what they didn’t know surely wouldn’t hurt them.
You went to bed overjoyed that night. This was it! You were gonna spend your last school years in a big all accepting private school with other species and races! You were actually gonna experience being around other people and not just snobby public school human kids! You were gonna make so many new friends! You were gonna learn so much! It was a new beginning! You just couldn’t wait!
