- Kill them all!, a voice shouted.
As the agonizing screams of the tribe raised up rapidly, the reassuring scent of burning wood in the air, along with the contradicting, overwhelming smell of burned flesh and gushing blood made her want to throw up. She stood there watching from her window on the hill, unable to move nor look away. Her people running, her tribe being slain one after another, and no warriors to defend them.
Suddenly she heard a scream right behind her, she turned around and saw her mom, walking backwards, a black leopard walking towards her, bloody sword in hand. He had a big scar going from his right cheek to the middle of his forehead, a white eye where the scar goes over.
Again, she was unable to move nor scream, and her mom apparently had the same spell under her, as she stopped screaming or moving. The evil looking leopard walked to her mom and the last thing she heard from her, was a softly spoken "I love you" before being beheaded.

In the world of Astralia, Chelli is an orphaned daughter of a woman who raised her in the Jaguar tribe inside the Forbidden Territories, known by them as "Treaia". Her father was always either hunting or at war, so her mother raised her alone. They always had food on the table and she lived a fulfilling life.
Black Jaguars were rather rare in her tribe, and was said to be gifted by the gods. She was indeed very skilled at the sword, and she would never lose a sword fight. She lived a peaceful life, but her peaceful days grew short after the words of her rare fur coat and sword expertise spread and other tribes started fearing her. One day, after a normal typical day of training and cooking for her mom, she woke up to fire and the sound of chaos in the tribe. They were being attacked.
Her long journey starts here, often filled with regrets, but she promised herself to protect the people she would later become fond of.
