The fact that there's two funny little animals that seem to know Akela and the others or the fact that there's another man cub but with longer yellow hair. Me, Baloo, Bagheera, Akela and the two new strangers were at a nearby tree, only a few steps away from the girl who the large black and white animal dragged along.
Akela: Is it.. Really true? That you're...
Chandani: Yes, Akela. It's us. Chandani and Samira.
Me: I don't understand. Who are they?
Baloo: Welll, Mowgli. Back then when Bagheera and I were only cubs, we formed a little group with other young cubs in the jungle. Chandani and Samira are two of them.
Me: What animal are they?
Looking at Baloo, I could tell he was badly waiting for me to ask a question.
Baloo: Well, Mowgli. Samira is a Harpy Eagle which is the most powerful bird in the planet. Her claws are the same size as mine, if not bigger!
Me: Wow! That's so cool! Samira, could you tell me more?
Samira: Well... My species is the best predator in the whole rainforest with our wingspan being about 7 feet in the air.
Me: Ooohh! So, what's your prey then?
Samira: Well... Let's start off with monkeys. Sloths are another..
Me: Amazing! So you're not just a bird. You're one of the best birds I've seen in my WHOLE LIFE!! Then what about you, Chandani? I've never seen a tiger with white fur!
The big cat let out a sign and began to speak once more. Her voice reminds me of my wolf mother's but Chandani's voice is less soft and more rugged.
Chandani: It's because of my genetics that my fur is like this. White tigers' fur has something called leucistic pigmentation which is the reason why our fur is like this. We're a rare species and because of that, there isn't many white tigers left in the world.
Me: Chandani, what do you mean by that?
I looked around to see my friends and see thag their faces were more gloomy.
Chandani: It doesn't matter, young one. Oh, right, we didn't get your name, man-cub.
Me: Oh! Right! My name is Mowgli!
Chandani: Mowgli... Such an amazing name...
Me: Thanks, Chandani! So, you knew Bagheera and Baloo when you all were cubs?
Bagheera: Yeah! Akela and the other Regents too! Everyone were the bestest of friends, playing with each other in Masha's temples.
Me: Wait... Huh?!
In the Animal Kingdom, there are leaders among their Animal Tribe called the Sovereign of Regents and each jungle has one. For the Seeonee Jungle, Hathi, Akela, Chill, Masha and Shere Khan are all Regents who rule over not just their Tribe but a Nation as well.
Me: Akela, is this true?
The elderly wolf looked into the man-cub's tree bark coloured eyes and nodded his head with a gentle smile.
Akela: Indeed, Mowgli. Many of us were all friends when we were cubs. Including Shere Khan. We never told you because we were afraid that you would hate us but yes, Shere Khan was our friend.
Samira: ... Was? Akela-
Chandani: Samira! Prakruti is waking up!
All of us ran to the unconscious human as it slowly opens its eyes.
I have no idea what the creature is. It looks like a human from the man village but it has long hair and a feminine look. When the creature opened its eyes, I was in awe of the beauty of those eyes.
One of the eyes were of a mud brown, similar to mine and the other eye was as blue as the sky itself. The creature's skin was similar to Man in his villages. However, once the creature spoke, no beauty could ever defeat the elegance and softness of the creature's voice.

Prakruti: What's...going on... Here?
The creature, in its own way, was absolutely beautiful.
The moment was broken when the bird and the big cat went towards the creature. The creature extended its arm to allow Samira to perch herself on it while Chandani nuzzled against it.
Chandani: Prakruti! You've awoken!
Prakruti: What's...happening? Who are they?
Samira: These animals were our friends when we were younger! Chandani and I grew up in the Seeonee Jungle.
Prakruti: I see...
(A/N: Hey guys!! Real sorry this chapter is super short considering all the other things I'm doing to my books. I'll see if I can add more books. For now, goodbye!)
