Tale of Panthera Regina (Remake)

Bonus Chapter #9: Everything takes Time Part 2

POV: Navy

Navy couldn't understand what he was seeing. Claws were taking them to the center of an island and into a volcano.

*I wondered if he asked for me just to kill me.* Navy thought with a shiver down his spine. The air wasn't too bad but his paws were starting to turn black from the ash.

Claws stopped causing Navy to bump into him.

They stopped right outside what looks like a long hallway cave at the base of the volcano. It was dark and smelled of ash and sulfur.

The Prince looked at him. Claws can be scary before but he is even worst in his Griffin form as his eyes were like snakes. Giant wings, large claws, and an annoying tail that keeps slapping Navy.

"If I catch you in my Safe haven. I will kill you." Claws warned before continuing into the cave.

Navy gulped as he follow the odd color Prince in the cave-like tunnel.

"Safe haven?" Navy said his thoughts out loud as they walked down a long hallway.

The walls were either black or dark brown. Navy couldn't tell. However, he did notice parts of the wall lead into caves that look a lot like bedrooms.

Everyone appeared to be different as a few had grass, trees, flowers, pond, and ... They were walking too fast for him to get any more details.

The hallway was way too long if you asked Navy. However, what surprised him the most is how Claws lived in two different homes. Navy was about to say something when the hallway gave way to a large box-like cave. There was a desk that was filled with paper.

*He knew how to write?* Navy thought, trying to understand it all. *I guess a Griffins can learn to write.* The brown tiger presumes.

The floor was a mess, and Navy noticed sitting areas with books and what looked like toys.

"Is the chick your first potential--- GAH!!!!" Navy was startled as something pounced on his back, thus causing him to crash into something.

Whatever was on his back leaped off before the fall.

"Papa! Your home!" Navy heard a young female say, but his head hurt too much to look for the source of the voice.

Navy saw Claws grin as he place the owlet griffinling onto the desk. "Elfie, you cheeky monkey," Claws says playfully.

"Papa!" Elfie says again, and Navy finally got a good look at her.

She was hanging from a beam that was placed on the ceiling. What stuck him off was that Elfie was pink from head to toe. She had monkey ears and a tail. Navy also noticed that she wore a brown dress.

The brown Bengal Tiger looked at the other parts of the ceiling and noticed more beams and things for someone to hang from. Navy could only guess that this was made for her.

"She is just not a monkey?!" Navy yelled, stung from the ambushed.

*I do hope that I was not seen as rude.* Navy thought. As an low rank, he grew up learning that if you offend someone, it could end with your death. That is why he liked Rosy so much.

When they first met, Navy had just got into a tree to get a better view of the Royal visit. It didn't work out as his weight and gravity betrayed him.

Navy came crashing down and ended up splashing mud over Rosesis. At first, silence and then she starting laughing. And help him up.

The light orange Princess even thought it was cute that Navy couldn't pronounce her name properly at first. So, he often calls her Rosy whenever they were alone.
