This is my final commission piece for this year. Currently, I'm at school and I feel like I don't have the time nor the money for these wondrous pieces anymore. Thanks for the years of support with me and all of this wouldn't be possible without you. The rest of my funds will go to college so it would be difficult for me to make another commission again. Until then, I will see you guys, in the next adventure. Love you all.

Farewell, Vanilla

NOTES: Despite that this is goodbye, but this is not eternal. If you don’t know what this is about, it means that I’m taking a step-back from commission art in favour of college instead. I’m going to miss some of these vore comics and images a lot. They’re hilarious, sad, fuzzy, cute, and of course, fun. This will also include Vic’s comics as well, so Vanilla won’t appear in those for a long time, (but maybe the Institute if I can but don’t get your hopes up) This story will not have soft vore. This is between me and my friends. Hope you enjoy…


“In that day when I was alone in the dark with no friends in sight, I’ve found you. When I first saw you, you were crying. I had to do something to comfort you, because I was alone too. You and I share the same feelings, we had our likes, dislikes, we also had laughs, arguments, pain, anger, and sorrow. I’ve carried you away in my dreams and took you to my world. When I held you onto my paws, I wanted to share my love and dreams with you.

This, I did.”

— Vanilla


I’m at home and it’s almost time for college. After the holidays, my family left back to their old lives again. Now I’m here in my living room, in my new desk, and talking with people through Skype. Up to this point, there’s no turning back for tomorrow. I’ll soon switch computers to my new “office laptop” and work my way from there. Typing, funds, almost all my time will be spent on that computer. Tis a shame but if it means for the furry community and all the shit that happened to me in the real world, I’ve just about had enough of that kind of life. I wanted to be comfortable at home all the time and I hope I can achieve that goal. It’ll be a difficult class to go through and not to mention, going through with it for a year. I hope this works out, otherwise, I’m back to square one.

Thomas: Well, this is it. It’s almost time to get this thing started.

I said this to myself, I stood up from my chair, grabbed a cup of coffee, got myself dressed for the night. It’s pretty late and I’m expecting a visit tonight. I opened up my window and waited for that “long tail” to come out. It has been one hour — no, about two hours since I’ve been waiting. Finally, after that, a white dragon appears from the night sky. It’s almost like it came from the full moon and ‘he’ appeared after all. Vanilla gave a loud purr and I rubbed his muzzled with my hand.

Thomas: How’ve you been, my friend?

Vanilla: Master Thomas.

Thomas: Come on. Let’s go.

I can’t say anything to him yet… I knew how Vanilla would react. So I stayed quiet when I saw him once again. Vanilla reached in with his tail, wrapping my waist around, and carried me away with his paws. It’s an unpleasant flight because of the snow, but thankfully, the white dragon can withstand any snowy storm. We arrived back into the cave and he set me down. Vanilla gave me an impression with a troubled mind.

Vanilla: What’s wrong, Thomas? You were quiet when I was carrying you.

Thomas: Hm? Oh! It’s nothing Vanilla.

Vanilla: Oh, okay.

I smiled up at my friend and I didn’t want to worry him at all. Vanilla has no idea about my life situations and I didn’t want to get him involved. But at this unfortunate day, I know that I have to tell him eventually. Vanilla carried me with the tip of his jaws (as usual) and took me over to his resting spot. Though, I didn’t giggle or smile again. Even with the flight, I didn’t even crack a smile… Vanilla’s feeling are growing dire as well because of ‘my feelings.’ He curled up around me and I leaned on his belly to make myself comfortable. The tip of the tail rubs my cheek and I looked up at him while I held it.

Vanilla: Master Thomas?

Thomas: Yeah?

Vanilla: There’s something troubling you, isn’t there?

Thomas: *Sighs* Yeah… But let me have this moment first, and then we can talk?

Vanilla: …Okay. Let me know if you’re ready to tell me.

Thomas: Thank you.

Vanilla: My siblings are coming too by the way. They’d be really happy to see you again.

Thomas: And your cousin?

Vanilla nodded in response, I leaned onto his soft white fur, and I stayed quiet with some sorrow within my heart. Vanilla cuddles me very closely like some sort of child and the fur is so soft, that I wanted to sleep. But I stood myself awake, and after 20 minutes later, Chocolate, Strawberry, Mint, and Cherry enter the room and watching us snuggle up to each other.

Chocolate: You can tell us, Thomas.

Cherry: We know there’s something up. Vanilla called us just in case.

Thomas: *Sigh* I see… Everyone… This is hard for me to say but… I’m leaving. Like really away. And worse of all, I won’t be seeing you all for a long time.

Vanilla: Wh-what do you mean?

Thomas: College. And this is not a “community” one.

Vanilla: But why? You can always call us.

Thomas: As much as I wanted to, but I want everything in my mind to this pathway. Your stories will carry, but not with me.

Strawberry: Does that mean you’ll leave us for good?

Thomas: No Strawberry. Everything that I’ve funded for you guys (such as art commissions) will only carry over to college. Trust me, doing this will help our future. I’m sure that it can and will.

Mint: *Bows* Well, well… It seems you have a serious mind about this. If that is what you wish, we will support you.

Thomas: Thank you Mint.

I climbed out of Vanilla’s soft spot and approached closer towards Chocolate. Vanilla seemed uneasy with my idea leaving though. I smiled and scratched the black kitten-dragon’s muzzle lovingly and he purred.

Chocolate: You take care of yourself.

Thomas: I will.

Chocolate: Will there be more stories about me?

Thomas: *Chuckled* Of course there will be.

After I give Chocolate a hug on his tummy, I walked off and come for Strawberry. I give her a quick hug around her neck and she gives me a lick across the cheek.

Strawberry: Never lose hope. Have more confidence in yourself.

Thomas: I’ll try Strawberry.

Strawberry: I…

The pink kitten-dragon was close to breaking into tears but I rubbed her cheeks to ease her sorrows. The way she looked at me, she really wanted to eat me but she didn’t. I turned my head over to the biggest one in the group: Mint. He stands up to expose that large round belly and I hug it.

Mint: You’ve grown up.

Thomas: And then I’ll grow older.

Mint: Oh silly. You got a lifetime to worry about that.

Thomas: Mint… I’m gonna miss your outstanding wisdom of words.

Mint: Remember, no negative thoughts, go outside more, eat breakfast, take a deep breath, and enjoy yourself. Be happy and positive.

Thomas: *Giggles* Yes Mint.

Mint picks me up and once again and I hug his belly as he presses me against it. He sets me down and I go over to Cherry.

Cherry: I’m glad that we have met, sweetie.

Thomas: Yeah, me too. Say, can you do something for me while I’m away?

Cherry: Yes, my dear?

Thomas: There’s another “kitten-dragon” that needs some help on making friends just like you guys. She hasn’t realized her own intentions yet. Perhaps with more training, she’ll be a great kitten-dragon just like you guys.

Cherry: And you want me to teach her how to use her powers?

Thomas: I hope that’s not too much to ask.

Cherry: I will accept. If that is what you wish, I will do it. “Blueberry” has been isolated for too long and I’m sure she would be most pleased.

Thomas: Thank you Cherry.

Cherry: Don’t thank me. It is “you” who should I thank.

Thomas: What do you mean by that?

Cherry: We almost had forgotten a friend in need. If it weren’t for you mentioning about her, things would be different. Every person who’s lonely needs a friend.

Thomas: Ah, I see what you mean now. Just like the way I was lonely a long time ago.

Cherry: Right.

The red kitten-dragon smiles down at me and she gently wrapped me around with her long bushy tail. I have no regrets about this and I petted her tail while it’s coiling my waist like a snake.

Thomas: Once again Cherry, you take care.

Cherry: You too. I’m sure that you’ll succeed. I can feel it. You’re an expert typewriter.

Thomas: I believe that I can. That’s why I’m doing this.

Cherry letted me go and petted her side as I walked-off slowly. I looked at everyone’s eyes one more time including Vanilla’s. Though Vanilla didn’t say a word to me yet which surprised me. I nodded at Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Mint, and Cherry.

Thomas: Well, I guess this is it everyone. Goodbye.

As soon as I was about to walk off, Vanilla’s tail suddenly grabbed me from behind and pulled me right towards him with a jerk. I gasped in surprise and Vanilla gave me the biggest and tightest hug.

Thomas: *Gasp* Ahh! Vanilla! You’re… squeezing me!

Vanilla: *Tears* Please don’t go! Stay with me Master! I don’t want to let you go!

Mint: Vanilla…

Chocolate: What are you doing?

I noticed that Vanilla’s body is beginning to glow a little because of his sorrows over me. At that moment, I realized that he didn’t want to let me go at all. I knew that Vanilla would react this way if he knew about my situation. Vanilla and I are not just best friends in the whole world, but we were like brothers. He was the ‘star’ of my dreams when I was lost in the darkness, my saviour of my distress, and we loved each other. If Vanilla continues to cry like this, he’ll morph himself back into his kitten form because only ‘happy thoughts’ will only allow him to become a dragon. Poor Vanilla, he always has been some sort of big crybaby for such little things — but nothing like this.

Thomas: Vanilla, please listen to me. You have to let me go. I know that this will be difficult for you. That’s why I stayed quiet towards you.

Vanilla: But… why?! Why must you leave me? You can always call me.

Thomas: As much as I wanted to Vanilla. If I keep playing with you guys, it’ll only make things more difficult for me.

Mint: Your Master is right about that, Vanilla. This time, he’s really serious about this pathway. This is great news for him.

Strawberry: I wanted Thomas to stay just as much as you do Vanilla. But if you don’t let him go, he’ll just have a miserable life, trapped inside a parent’s house until there’s no support for him. It will come to that. Do you want Thomas to suffer the same fate when he had nothing in him?

Vanilla: N-no. But… If I let you go, there’d be nobody to play with.

Chocolate: *Raised Eyebrow* Don’t be so hypocritical Vanilla! You’re not alone! Ever! You can play with your many other friends any time while Thomas is working!

Mint: Chocolate… You don’t have to be so cold.

Vanilla: *Shakes head* No… He’s right… I knew it would come to this. I just didn’t want to accept it. I’m sorry that I was crying.

Mint: Don’t say that Vanilla. It’s completely normal to be sad. After all, this is your most valuable friend in the whole world. If Thomas were to go, things will be different with all of us.

Thomas: Even so, just give me some time to complete this pathway. I’m only gone until this class is done. Trust me, I needed this. Besides, if I manage to succeed, I can spend more time with you!

Vanilla: R-really?

Thomas: Yes! With this kind of job, I don’t have to worry about looking for one. I can make my own.

Vanilla: Now I think I’m beginning to understand what you’re after.

Thomas: Exactly. This will always be my lifetime business, no matter where I go, it’ll always stick with me. I’ll never have to leave you alone again.

Vanilla: Oh Master Thomas… I…

Thomas: You don’t have to apologize. Your stories will carry on while I’m away. I’m not gone at all. Just remember that I’ll always be around, rooting for you guys.

Vanilla: Yes Master Thomas. Okay, I will let you go, and… I’ll… watch you… walk away from me… After all, I can’t control your life.

Thomas: Wipe your tears. I don’t want to see you cry. Because, it makes me sad too. Your siblings will take care of you. You got a kitty-sitter (Typhlosion) with you, you got a wonderful step-mother (Dragonite) that loves you, and not to mention you got wonderful friends that you can play with any time as Chocolate mentioned earlier. You’re never alone, even without me.

So after everything that I’ve said to him, Vanilla accepted that it’s time for him to let me go, and he set me down on the ground. The white dragon wiped his tears away and his body stopped shining from all the pain and sorrow that’s inside of him. He let go of his feelings and he gives me a big wet lick across the cheek.

Thomas: Thank you Vanilla. That makes me happy that you’ve accepted in what I’m about to do. Don’t worry my friend. I’m not going to disappear on you forever. Remember, your stories will carry over no matter what. I will say this once again, I will not appear in those stories until my class is finished and on top of that, there won’t be any more pictures between us.

Vanilla: Yes Thomas. I understand about this long pathway. But you do understand once you take this, there’s no turning back, right? This’ll be a very difficult path for you.

Thomas: I know.

Mint: Remember that there are always people that are willing to help others. Don’t be shy to ask.

Thomas: Okay Mint.

Vanilla sets me down after one more big hug, kiss, lick, and a tail-wrap. I rubbed his snout with my hand and kissed his pink nose. Once again, I nodded over to Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Mint, and Cherry and began to walk away slowly. Vanilla took a deep breath and Mint eases him with a quick hug. All of my kitten-dragons… and I’m walking away from this world of mine once again. Mint was right one thing about me — I didn’t want to suffer the same thing just like last time. This is why that I needed to do this. Even though that I’ll be gone for a while, the stories will always continue endlessly. I have no regrets. Vanilla and I will always be together in our hearts, even in such a tragic goodbye such as this. I exited the cave and I came back home with a lot of thoughts in my mind. I won’t feel his purrs, nor touch his fur, nor snuggle, nor come in for some belly snuggles, nor fly with him, nor make jokes, nor play… All of these feelings… are brushed aside. I can’t help but feel stressed about myself. Although, I took a deep breath, petted Hobbes, and seeing smiles from my family’s faces. From that moment, it was time for me to go. I finished typing this story, posted it, closed all the apps, and shut down this computer.

Thomas: Well… Time to get to work. Farewell Vanilla. I will see you when I’m finished with this path. Please, all I ask is you take care of him. I’m sure that he would be happy with you all. Thank you for all of the support from this point. *Sigh* This is DragonX1010, signing off. Goodbye.

I signed off and Master Thomas is no more until MT class is completed…

FIN…
