Our Tale So Far: The fursuiting fox and wolf have been transformed into their fursonas following a freak storm at an airport. Just as they are realizing what has happened, airport security is closing in, guns drawn. -- But wait! The gods of Furhalla have taken note of the plight of our boys, and just given them some neat new powers. Let's see what happens!

The fox and wolf felt a strange tingling pass through them, which the fox attributed to fear, and the wolf to indigestion. Neither realized that they had just received a divine blessing and empowerment. As the gun-toting guards converged, the wolf stepped forward to hug them, only to be pulled back in the nick of time by the fox.

"Give it a rest, Wolf," advised the fox. "This calls for other measures."

The fox regarded the nervous guards and their weapons, and reached out to them with his mind. "Those guns are much too hot to handle," he advised.

Almost as one, the guards shrieked with pain and dropped their weapons, their palms blistering painfully. "It's time to make our exit," declared fox.

Fox and Wolf sprinted to the nearest door, only to be met by another guard and an especially nasty looking gun. Fox stared deeply into the guard's eyes. "Go to sleep," he admonished. The guard's eyes fluttered briefly and he dropped like a stone, his loud snores audible above the airport din.

"They look so cute when they're asleep!," commented Wolf as he dropped to all fours and began sprinting with the fox across the airfield. They moved swiftly and effortlessly beyond the airport grounds, their breathing barely quickening as their paws pounded the ground. Soon they were in a barren area, far from the pesky guards.
"You're a mental dominant now, aren't you," inquired the Wolf.
"Guess I am," agreed the Fox.

One of the guards had managed to use his unburned hand to call the authorities, where he was connected to a small, rather rotund man with a moustache who hailed from the former Soviet Union. Previously a notorious spy, the Russian had found work for a man of his talents in America following the demise of the USSR. Boris turned to his lovely but sinister associate, Natasha, and spoke four words: Get fox and wolf! His compatriot wasted no time in firing up a helicopter while Boris grabbed a Soviet-made assault rifle. They were airborne in minutes, following the last-reported coordinates of the fox and wolf.

"We've got company again," alerted the wolf, barely slowing his pace.
"I hear it, too," concurred the fox. The sound of the approaching chopper was unmistakeable. "They're out of range, though...I can't reach their minds!" Bullets from the Soviet weapon began to patter the ground around them, causing the fox and wolf to begin evasive actions.
"Don't worry," assured the wolf. "I've got it covered."
"What do you mean, don't worry? We can't dodge those slugs forever!," snapped the fox.

A strange smile crossed the face of the wolf. "I called in air support," he grinned.

"Get me closer, Natasha, and hold 'copter steady," shouted Boris over the noise of the roar of the helicopter prop. He was so intent on drawing the crosshairs of the assault rifle over the evasive ground targets that he never saw the massive form descending swiftly from above...

The dragon passed over the small helicopter like a jet fighter, all but blowing it out of the air. The enormous creature wheeled about with a grace amazing for its size, and began another pass at the copter, which was forced to make a sudden hard landing. The dragon followed, snorting and roaring, causing the two Russian expatriates to abandon the chopper and run fleeing for their lives. When it saw that they were clear of the aircraft, the dragon opened its jaws and spewed a torrent of fire over the copter, exploding the fuel tanks of the craft in a deafening fireball. With a nod of its gigantic head to the much smaller furry figures standing at a safe distance, the dragon vaulted effortlessly into the skies, dipping its powerful leathery wings in salute before disappearing gradually into the heavens.

In the distance, a cry was barely audible. "Boris, you fool!," the furs heard a voice say.

"That was sweet!," sighed the fox. "He had to have been from Dragon City! You're telepathic now, aren't you?"
"Yuppers," agreed the wolf. "And I seem to know things, too."
"Things like what?," asked the fox.
"Things like, the awakening has begun."

"My God!," said the fox reverently. "The prophecy is coming true!" The wolf nodded his agreement.

Slowly, without making any fuss, select individuals began transforming into what they inwardly always knew that they were...
