Javan was happy because he was going to be a father.  "Our little one will come very soon." Javan said.

"Yes the cub will. During such a cold winter to boot." Sirbriena said.

"I know our cub will be a strong one." Javan said.

During a snowy winter day Sirbriena went into labor.

Javan was holding her hand. Sirbriena was in a great deal of pain. "I'm here Sirbriena, so don't worry, if you need me let me know." Javan said.

"Thanks, Javan I love you so, Aah!" Sirbriena started to say then screamed.

Javan looked really worried.

"Don't worry Javan it was just contraction. She can handle it." the midwife said.

"Yes, you wouldn't be able to handle this kind of pain." another said.

Javan stroked Sirbriena's head. "You are doing great love." he said.

"Okay, Sirbriena get ready to push," The midwife said.

"Okay," Sirbriena said.

"One, two, three, push!" the midwife said.

Sirbriena squeezed Javan's hand and screamed.

"Atta girl, the cub is coming." the midwife said.  "Relax and breathe," she said.

Sirbriena breathed in and out.

"Alright one, two, three and push!" the midwife said.

Sirbriena gave grunt of effort and squeezed Javan's hand. Javan was rubbing her shoulder to encourage her.

"That's it, keeping pushing." the midwife said.

"I'll get the hot water." the other midwife said and grabbed the tub.

Then they heard crying. Sirbriena laid down exhausted. Tears were in her eyes her cub was finally here.

"It's a boy!" the midwife said. "You two have a son." she said. Then she cut his cord.

Sirbriena and Javan smiled.

The other midwife cleaned the cub up with warm water and rags.

The midwife wrapped the cub up in a warm blanket.  Then gave him to his mother.

"Look at him Javan, he's perfect," Sirbriena said.

"Yes he is absolutely perfect." Javan said.

"What should we name him?" Sirbriena asked.

"I think Tygra would be a nice name," Javan said.

"Tygra, that's a perfect name." Sirbriena said. "Welcome to the world little Tygra." she said.

"My dear son, you are very specail." Javan said.

"Our little Tygra, mommy and daddy have been waiting to meet you," Sirbriena said.

Tygra started fuss.

"I know sweetie, it's cold." Sirbriena said.

"I must announce to the tigers the birth of the new heir." Javan said.

Javan walked outside the other tigers were talking.

"Everyone today the heir of the tiger clan has been born, his name is Tygra," Javan said.

The tigers cheered. The oldest tiger Balino came up. "I must see the child as you know I always see the newborn child of the chief. He is in the hundredth generation if he has the mark he could be the legendary chief in the prophecy that we heard so much about." Balino said.

"Um, okay," Javan said.

Balino came in with Javan to see the cub.

The old tiger looked at the cub. "He has the mark right there on his shoulder it's the lightning bolt shaped birth mark," Balino said. "He is the legendary tiger in the prophecy." He said.

"So my son is the legendary tiger this is incredible." Javan said.

Tygra started to fuss again and this time it turned into cry.

Sirbriena quietly moved her gown away and brought Tygra up so he could nurse. The little boy rooted and began to suckle.

Javan smiles at his young son he was very precious.

"He sure is hungry." Javan said.

"Yes he is," Sirbriena said.

Tygra was very content drinking his mother's milk.

Then Sirbriena switched Tygra to the other side. Tygra fussed a bit at first then went back to his meal.

Tygra then let go he seemed satisfied.

Sirbriena burped him and she watched her little cub dozed off. Tygra's eyes were shut tight like all newborn cats. They will open very soon.

"Okay, now we better let Sirbriena rest, because she is very tired." the midwife said. 

"Resting does sound good." Sirbriena said.

Javan took Tygra into his arms. He was amazed by how light Tygra it was like he barely weigh thing. 

"Hey, Tygra, I'm daddy," Javan said.

Soon Tygra was placed down in his cradle. Javan gently rocked the cradle and fell into an even deeper sleep.

Javan was now grateful for his little family.

But for a certain monster it heard it's master calling to him. 

"My dear creation Fangstire. The tiger chief of legend has been born. You must consume the child's heart, and when you do, you will become my most powerful force." it's master said.

The creature licked it's lips. It wanted to become the most powerful force of it's master and he wants to eat this tiger cub's heart so it can achieve that.

The monster let out a roar. It was now ready to do his master's bidding.
