The god of the tigers.
take a look
You wouldn't expect to find me here. In the jungles of Asia. I'm pretty much lost, But... there's something here to find. What is it? Who is it? I don't really know all i do know is that my heart keeps urging me on in a certain direction. Telling me I'm almost there, don't stop. I'm following my heart, Often it leads to good things. Or so I'm told. Brushing aside the foliage of the forest around me, I'm quiet otherwise. Taking my time.
I know this place is dangerous. So I'm quiet, taking only what i can carry to travel light. Always listening, cautious of my steps in this place. I don't wish to alert any of the predators here. There's a clearing up ahead, I can hear its sweet soft melody. A stream. There are animals up ahead. Which sets me on edge, What if they are predators? My heart urges me on. I brush aside the fronds blocking my path to this clearing. The sight before me astounds me.
A man, no.... a being of perfection, A celestial being perhaps? Wearing only form fitting pants. Leaving his feet bare and exposed to the world around him. Its evident he is not human. From the striped tiger tail, to his tiger ears. Beyond that though his skin holds the black stripes of the tiger. This man hair long and black as the night raven herself. His back is to me. I dont need him to notice me to be astounded. There are tigers here with him. A family, odd in the breed of the Bengal tigers. The cubs play in his lap the mother practically purring in content, happy to have him play with her cubs, almost as if she were blessed to be so lucky.
The father sitting back on his haunches, Guiding any cubs that stray back to the man and their mother. On the watch. It is he who notices me. His gold eyes meeting mine, his tail twitching ever so slightly. I freeze up. Beautiful as they are, I know they are deadly, i know all to well. However it gains the attention of the man. He turns and looks at me. I'm nearly taken away. I would swear he was a god.
Such perfection in the features of this man that I'm stunned. A god indeed as his calm acceptance of my presence. " I've been waiting for you." this surprises me all the more. A god? waiting for me. " Come forward Leopard. You've kept me waiting for so long, should you make me wait longer?" He asked an amused grin marking his features. Even his eyes are the gold of the Bengals around him.
"You were waiting for me?" I manage through my breathless state hardly able to believe it. " Yes, who else?" He asked extending a hand in invitation. I approach still in awe at his words.
