Lion-o and his True love

chapter 17 native son

  Lion-o and Tygra were heading through the mountains looking for a short cut.

 "I think we're lost,"  Lion-o said.

  "I don't think we are," Tygra said. 

 Lion-o threw a snow ball. "You never admit when you're wrong." Lion-o said.

"And you never act your age." Tygra said.

  Another snowball hit Tygra. "LION-O!" he yelled.  

There was rumbling snow came down.

"Avalanche!" they shouted. They took cover.

"Still think we will find that short cut?" Lion-o asked.

"We found something look," Tygra said.

They went inside to see what was there. The figures came. "Welcome it's nice to have some guests, we heard the avalanche are you alright?" one of them said.

"Yes, we're fine." Tygra said.

"You see my brother, and I are lost and we," Lion-o said.

"We're not lost." Tygra said.

"Not now Tygra." Lion-o said.

"Tygra?" the figures said.

"You're name is Tygra?" one of them asked.

"Yes but it's if ask like you know me," Tygra said.

"I am Caspin of the tiger clan I know your father will be so happy to see you the tiger clan will celebrate tonight." Caspin said. "Welcome home Tygra," he said.

They were taken too the council chamber.

"Look who it is lord Javan," Caspin said.

Javan saw Tygra he got up and walked over and looked at Tygra. "Tygra is that really you?" he asked.

"Yes I'm Tygra," Tygra said.

Javan threw his arms around Tygra. "I thought you were dead." Javan said tears were streaming down his face.

"I thought I was alone all this time, why haven't I been with you?" Tygra asked.

"That's a long story Tygra." Javan said.

 "I always thought Tygra came from a lost clan." Lion-o said.

"We were never lost we just settled in different place Claudius knew where we were." Caspin said.

Javan stopped hugging Tygra and explained how the tigers settled in the mountains.

Tygra told his story. "I was told when I was a baby I came in a box of flowers for the garden and the king and queen found me and took me inside.  They bathed me and feed me and took me in as their own. I grew up knowing them but I still had flashes of weird things. Then I found out my mother was going to have a baby. Then the time came and Lion-o was born. I lost the two things I came to love dearly my mother and my kingdom." Tygra said.

"I'm sorry Tygra I know I cost the life of our mother." Lion-o said.

"It's not your fault Lion-o, father told me the same thing happened to him and Jaga told me it happens to several mothers." Tygra said. "But I saw you and I accepted you as my brother and I was surprised about how small you were. Jaga told me it was because you came a little early." he said.

"I vowed after the incident at the ruins I would protect you," Tygra said.

"I see well that explains why until know you tended to fight my battles for me." Lion-o said.

"Now Tygra you become heir of the land of your own." Caspin said.

"Father can you tell me what happened?" Tygra asked.

"Of course but I will at sunrise I don't want to give you nightmares about it."  Javan said.

The next morning Tygra went to his father for answers.

"Tygra it's like this when you were a baby we had a good life then a jaguar and his boar followers attacked our village. They were killing our people. A boar was about to attack you. I hit him away from you. I told your mother to take you and run away. After us Tiger escaped and went to a new set of mountains I found her she was dead and you were no where in sight so I suspected you died. I would of done anything to bring your mother back." Javan said.

"Well we're together now that's all that matters." Tygra said.

"I fear if the jaguar finds us he'll kill us." Javan said.

"I will try to protect you from  him." Tygra said.

"Thank you Tygra," Javan said.

Now it was time to go. Javan gave him something. "Tygra this whip has been in our family for generations and now it's yours." Javan said.

Tygra took the whip carefully. "I promise to take good care of it." Tygra said.

"The pass you need is right there good luck Thundercats you can expect our help." Javan said.

Meanwhile the Jaguar lost his boar troops to a plague and he was the only one who survived and Mum-Ra found him and told him he found more tigers.

"I must eliminate the tigers one is said to get rid of me for when I try to do what I please." the Jaguar said.

"Well Jano if you join with me I will let you destroy the tigers." Mum-Ra said.

"Deal," Jano said.
