Javan loved his son very much. Sirbreina loved Tygra very much too. Then a monster that had plagued the village for generations attack and today some spirits appeared.

Sirbreina saw it go into the house. Fearing for her sons life she rushed in to save him. "Huh?" she said.

But this wasn't an evil spirit it was on of good and it was defending Tygra from one that was evil. The evil spirit saw Sirbreina and grabbed her.

"Let me go!" she said.

Javan heard his wife cry and ran into the house and saw an evil spirit take her away. "Sirbreina!" he said.

The monster and evil spirits left. the cradle was knocked over and Tygra was crying.  "There, there, it's okay daddy's here," Javan said picking Tygra up. 

"Daddy's got you, I promise I'll do whatever I can to keep you safe Tygra." he said.

Javan soon began to look for a tigress to wet nurse Tygra. Every-time time he asked the tigress said she had her own cub to feed or wasn't producing milk. 

"What am I going to do?" Javan asked.

The village doctor came up he had an idea. He went to the farmers of livestock and asked for them to provide Javan with milk so he could feed his son.

The farmers agreed to it this was the future of the Tiger clan after all.

Javan was at home busy rocking Tygra trying to soothe the hungry child. The doctor came in with bottle and some fresh milk.

The doctor got a bottle ready and took the cub into his arms. Then he gave Tygra the bottle. The cub started to suckle after some persistence from the doctor.

Soon Javan began to feed his son with the bottle. After a couple of days Tygra got use to the bottle. But unlike nursing with his mother the milk took awhile for Javan to warm up.

Tygra was crying to be fed. "Hang Tygra I'm almost done warming it up." Javan said.

Javan then came over with warm milk. Then fed his son.

Soon the winter became very harsh. The monster took the food for the life stock and even began to take the livestock itself. 

Tygra needed the milk the farmers provided to live and he was too young to survive such a harsh winter.

Javan didn't know what to do. He remembered his friends in Thundera he knew he couldn't burden his friend king Claudius with his problems maybe he could save his son.

Javan went to Thundera and gave Tygra to king Claudius and queen Leonara. "I'm sorry my son, I'm so very sorry." Javan said. He kissed his son and left.

Javan cried the whole way home.
