6:30 A.M.
The tiger tribe elders were all gathered in their official meeting place. They were all discussing one problem or another. Anthony coughed to catch all of the elders attention. They stop mid conversation and look at him, after all he is their next leader.
"Face it, our tribe isn't satisfied with the prey that we normally hunt," Anthony paces back in forth in front of the whole tribe elder, "we need something bigger, for example delicious little lambs from the lamb/ram tribe."
"You know the rules, we can not leave the territory to go hunt them, they have to wander off to become ours," one of the elders spoke up.
Anthony hadn't thought this far ahead, he knew none of the tribe members were going to break tribe laws in fear of becoming extinct like the dinosaur tribes. He has no fear what's so ever and if he wanted something he had to have it. Nothing was going to get in his way of having a good meal.
11:45 P.M.
"Do not ask me any questions, and if anyone asks where I am going, tell them this, 'He is off into the mountains praying to the tiger gods for a better hunting season this year, " Anthony informs his future right hand man and childhood best friend, Haben.
Haben stood still underneath the dull moonlight, "I think the elders are wise enough to figure it out, but very well, I'll cover for you then, but I do not know how long I can stall."
"Thank you, Haben," Anthony gives him a grateful smile, "I knew I can count on you."
Haben rolled his eyes, "If your ass gets in trouble, I was never a part of any of this and it was just lies that you told me so you can sneak away from me. Understand?"
"Understood." Anthony does a quick shift and starts running through the trees of the jungle, getting further and further away from home.
Anthony loved the feeling of air separating in front of his face, right before his eyes. His fur waved in the wind, his senses heightened when he ran into an unfamiliar part of the jungle. There is a strange scent that puts him a quick halt and sniff the air, something about the scent made him go mental and crave more. He inhaled around him, following the scent of the special leaves that made him happier than ever.
Anthony paused when he pushes his face into a tiny bush beside a tree, his body quickly falling on top of it. Purrs were spilling out of him by now as his paws wrapped around the bush, leaves crumpling onto his fur. He purrs louder as he rolled away from the bush, the scent lingering in front of his nose relentlessly.
Anthony loves the smell of these leaves, they made him want to travel to the end of the earth and back. His bones crack and he is soon in his half human, half animal form, his body gently resting in the grass. In this form He has black and white ears on his head and matching tail down his lower back, his eyes are dark, his fangs are sharp, and his claws were still very deadly.
He falls asleep underneath the moon's watch.
