As the golden sun rises in the east, pass the Felis Jungle. A sleek orange Bengal Tiger with blue eyes, is on the hunt for prey. An albino Mara calf stood in the middle of the long, green grass. She crept along side of the brush, carefully hidden among it. The young Tigress was going to pounce when someone call her and making her give up her attention on the calf of who now ran away. I sat down and clean my now muddy paws. A pumpkin orange Bengal came from the brush. Her yellow eyes stare at me like the sun.

"Roseis!" Mother said with a hint of annoyance.

"Yes?" I said as I watch a beetle crawl by me.

"How many times that I must tell you to not leave the cave? You almost worry me half to death!" Hissed Mother baring her pure alba teeth.

"I just wanted to hunt before my Turning." I pleaded.                                                                    

You see i'm a Royal Bengal because I bare my Mother's crest and it's because I have no stripe on my ears unlike my sister, Leona and brother, Claws. The Turning is when I chose a Advisor, Seeker, Guardian, Warrior and Hunter.

"Mother, what happens to Leona and Claws?" I asked.

"Well, Leona will live on Pardus and Claws on Tigris." She purred.

"Now go get your gem and we'll begin."

The gem is made by the next InsignisKeeper meaning my sister.

Mother pause and sniff the air. For a reason it smell like the Hominum but the Natives know they have to ask to be this close to the cave.

"Mother. What's wro..." I tried to say as she grab me by the back of my neck. She ran for our cave but never made it. She found a patch of grass near a puddle of water. She roar something in Tiger and ran off.

My father found me and said,

"Roseis, you must rule Panthera Regina." He said in a calm voice. His amber eyes held concern.

"Father, my Turning." I hissed.

"No time." As he walk with me to our cave and left.

Neither Mother or father return after that day.
