****

On the horizon, there were three brothers. These brothers were like no other. They had the power to shift. Their god Abnu granted them this power since they were his angel warriors, but also his kin. Each one chose a form : Luku, the eldest son, chose a Bear, for strength and loyalty; Mikeyto, the middle son, chose a Horse for peace and speed; Leo, the youngest and the smallest, chose a Lion for bravery and courage.

But what Abnu never told his sons was that they would have to fight each other in order to win a power to give them a throne. The brothers were shocked. Mikeyto tried to persuade his brothers into thinking the out come of the end, only one of them would rule. But Luku never doubted his strength, and Leo wanted to prove his bravery.

Whoever won the battle would win the power, but none if the brothers knew what the power was. As the brothers declared war on each other, the whole kingdom watch and betted on who would win. But Abnu watched as well. He had no favourite son, so he was curious on wich one would win. He gave each one of them a hint on their opponents.

"You are my strongest, but you might not be the fastest. Use your strength." He told Luku.

"You are my fastest, but you might not be the strongest. Use your speed." He told Mikeyto.

But Abnu couldn't say the same for Leo. Leo hadn't chosen any ability except for Bravery and Courage. Abnu knew it wouldn't be fair for Leo, so he granted him another ability, power.

"You are my youngest, but you might not be my oldest, or my strongest, fastest, so I grant you one more ability. Power. Use this power and combine it with your bravery and courage and you will make a great King for this kingdom. Now go my son, as I will be watching." Abnu hurried Leo. He signed. He seemed to have a favourite after all.

As each brother shifted in their animals, they all became giants. Luku looked strong with his powerful arms and jaw, Mikeyto looked fast with his strong muscular legs and with his powerful hooves, but they looked like nothing compared to Leo.

Leo was huge compared to them. His jaw was full of sharp and powerful canines, his paws were about the size of an elephants foot today. They were huge, and filled with giant talons. His mane was the perfect size and made him look even bigger. He seemed to have more muscles than Mikeyto and more strength than Luku.

As Luku and Mikeyto stared in awe at Leo, Abnu knew he made a mistake on giving Leo power. There was no way Leo could lose.

The brothers fought for days before they declared a winner. Luku and Mikeyto tried to team up on Leo but it was no use.

Mikeyto was the first to drop out. He swore an oath saying he wouldn't let Leo win that easily, so he shifted into a Leopard. A great enemy for lions. He was no longer the Mikeyto of peace, he was now Mikeyto the agile. Abnu granted Mikeyto slick fur which helped him blend into the tall grass and claws strong enough to allow him to climb trees to get away from lions. Mikeyto quickly paced away from his brothers.

Then it was Luku who was the last to surrender. He swore an oath as well against Mikeyto, for weakness, and Leo for not letting Luku having the power he wanted. He asked Abnu for jaws so strong they could break bones. To tear off Leo's skin and to break every bone in Leo's body. Abnu granted him his wish. That night Luku the strong became Luku the nasty. He was transformed into a Hyena.

This was the night all the animals of Africa were created. Abnu wanted punish his sons for having hatred on each other,though one won and the others didn't. He hid the power that was granted for the king, Leo. But he did one thing in Leo's favour.

The power was a lady. She would be able to transform into a lion such as Leo, and would be able to bare him a child, she would also have Leo's mark. An eye of a Lion. But if one of his brothers found her first, she would be their power. Every time she would die, a new one would be born from her. She was like a phoenix. She could never give birth to any child except one of the brothers. And she was their way to rule the throne.

~To present day~

The sun shone on Kiara. Through her hair, on her skin and on her mark.

She was sitting on the beach, just outside her foster home. She loved it there in Florida. This beach was her only quiet time away from her abusive foster mom.

Kiara's real parents had died in a car accident on their way home from church.

God obliviously wasn't in their favour thought Kiara. She had never believed much in god, one of the reasons why was because of her parents death.

As she inhaled the beach air, she wished she could wear a bikini, but because of all her scares, bruises, and cuts, she wouldn't let anyone take her away from here. No matter what her foster parents did with her.

A few hours went by with Kiara just gazing at the sun, until she decided she would go for a quick swim. As she started to strip down into her a pair of swim shorts and a purple t-shirt with kittens on it, you could tell Kiara was a fit girl. With her long legs and evened out torso, long blonde hair, and cute features with her gold eyes she looked very different then the rest her colour. She was like a light caramel.

She saw some pictures of her parents, but not many. She was only 5 when they died, so she still had some memory of them. Painful for her to remember. She winced.

Kiara never had a thing for water. She just like to stand in it and feel the breeze from the ocean. But every now and then she would swim.

This was the only time anyone could see her in shorts and a t-shirt.

She stood like that for awhile until she heard her friend Ryan call her. He was the only one who knew about her foster parent. And seeing her in shorts and T-shirt.

She smiled at his appearance.

"Hey" she said.

"Hey. I'm going surfing. You wanna come?" he asked. All the boys and girls went surfing here.

"Nah. I'm good. Have fun!" she said waving good bye. She was one of the only girls that didn't love water. That's one of the things that made her an outcast. She liked it that way though. It meant no one but Ryan knew about her. Or bothered with her.

Actually Ryan would never had met her if it weren't for her moving into his old house with her foster mom. He now lived in a bigger beach house just a couple houses down. Kiara didn't mind his company. It was better than none.

Before Ryan could say anything back to Kiara, her foster mom called her in all sweetly, which wasn't true.

Ryan looked at her with worry in his eyes. "Please don't let her push you around. You don't deserve it. Fight back. Please?"

"I don't know." she never looked up into his eyes when he asked her this, cause she knew she would probably do anything he asked her with his beautiful eyes, which were bright dark blue.

She waved bye again, and started to make her way to her house. She put on her sweat pants, and and black sweater with hearts all over it. She looked like a fourteen year old, even though she was seventeen. She was sweating by the time she got to the house door. 'I knew I should have wore jeans instead' Kiara thought . Then she pulled the door open to find her mom staring at her and smiling. Kiara had never seen her foster mother smile so happily.

"Bye bitch" was all her mother said before blowing a punch at Kiara's lower jaw.
