#1 of The origins of Tygon: A spiritual journey

I'm back again, know I keep having long absences but comes from being busy sadly. That and having the attention span the size of a gnat right now lol.

So I thought it a good time as any to write a story featuring my persona Tygon.

Some may know this and others may not but I have always thought myself connected in some way to these magnificent animals. There are many reasons but vanity is definitely not one of them. ^.^

This is what you would call a personal story. Has elements of me in it, beliefs and hopefully some thought provoking parts and also is a darker than normal style so hopefully will make a change from the touchy, feely I usually do. Or if nothing else hopefully a good kick in one way or another for the reader.

Enjoy!


A tiger ran in darkness, panic written al over his burnt orange and white face. _"YOU CAN NOT DEFY ME SERVANT. YOU WILL DO AS I SEE FIT!"_a voice boomed from all directions.

"No, you can't keep making me. I remember it all, I remember everything," the tiger cried out in panic as coils seemed to spring from the darkness and bind him. An invisible force seemed to encroach upon him, the tiger's form seeming to waver like a mirage. "No, I don't want to go back to that. No more, PLEASE!" His form seemed to begin losing stability before he echoed a last cry in his mind, "Someone...save me." A demonic laughter was the last thing he heard before darkness closed in around him.

*

"NOOOOO!!" A large feline cried out loud in his sleep, his eyes snapping wide open. His pupils were slits, amber eyes bright with a wild, inner light as the ghosts of his nightmare lingered in his mind's eye. Breathing, panting rapidly as he realised it had just been another dream, he allowed his fur to relax and sat on his furred rump. "Just another nightmare..." he mumbled. After every nightmare he had, he couldn't help but feel there was a voice from somewhere inside...that was laughing at him.

He didn't know his real name, he had no memory to call his own save frequent nightmares every time he slept of a life that felt all too real. He was certainly quite the large feline, his length measured around seven foot long not including his four foot long, fluffy tail. His fur an unusual colouration of a burnt orange, his fur underneath a dull white colouration that led up to his lower muzzle, ran the full length of his belly and stopped just at his tail base.

Looking around, all he saw was the same, usual wasteland he had seen when he remembered waking up. All barren, flat and featureless. "So..." he sighed, raising his 4.5ft tall self off the ground, "another day traversing the wastes. Oh joy," he muttered to himself as he began trudging begrudgingly forward again. The sun shone down with an intense glare, but despite that it wasn't very hot at all. In fact, the sun for all its fearsome glare seemed to lack any real heat at all. This had puzzled the large tiger to start with, but eventually he had just learnt it was nothing to concern himself with. Better than going mad with the loneliness he had felt days alone here, he found it was best not to think too much and occupy himself with his next target.

"Okay, so I guess I will just head in this direction. Will go this way until... you collapse?" A voice finished off in his head. It wasn't a voice that he felt was his own thoughts, it was tinged with malevolence and darkness. But he had learned it would no good worrying about this either as when ever he tried to ask this voice who it was, he would just get the feeling he was letting someone into his very being to take possession before he shut the presence out.

Shaking his head, his fur shaking about and huffing slightly, he tried to focus on keeping moving forward. "Okay, so I will just keep on going until...until that, er?" He stumbled in his outward musings. "What is that I wonder?" He said softly as he saw something bright and glimmering up ahead.

He broke out into a run, it could be nothing but the fact he could see something in this barren wasteland that wasn't the same as everything else made him almost giddy with excitement. Skidding to a halt before it, he could see that the shimmering was definitely something out of the ordinary here. Come to think about it, the whole area felt...odd. Like it wasn't actually real, "What is it?" He mumbled, twisting and cocking his head at different angles as he tried to make out what this swirling, shimmering disturbance was.

Looking left, then right, forward, behind and even to the sky he saw there was nothing else for as far as he could see. "Ah well, I will either get vaped or something will happen. Anything is better than this," he said, shrugging his furred shoulders before he entered the portal.

A bright flash, a brief humming sound and he was gone.

*

Opening his eyes slowly with a groan, the large, orange feral feline put a paw to his head with a wince as light stabbed at his eyes again. "Ugh, that was...unpleasant," he thought to himself. "Well, I'm not dead, otherwise I would not be having this pounding headache so...did that send me somewhere?"

Opening his eyes a crack, he let his eyes adjust to the glare. He could feel something cold he was laying on, it felt soft, fluffy and nice against his bellyfur. "What is this stuff...I recall what it is but not the name...that's it, snow!" The tiger growled out happily as he sprung to his paws in glee. The sight of it seemed to bring memories of something flooding back to him.

Shaking his head with a growl, he tried to rid himself of alien memories or...not so alien as he felt he had taken part in them somehow. But before he could muse about these images, a howl sounded off in the distance, "A wolf?" He then heard a chorus of yips, howls and barks that followed. Sitting on his rump, he cocked his head to one side and flicked his white spotted ears about, trying to gauge where they were. "Hmm, by the sounds of it they are...coming...here," he trailed off as he saw a cloud of snow blowing ahead of him, coming closer and closer.

From inside the snow cloud the frantic howling and snarling of canines could be heard as a Deer fled for its life from them. Closer and closer they came, a pack of ragtag canines of different breeds. A wolf, a coyote, a Hyena, a mix that somehow, even though the tiger could not remember anything, didn't strike him as natural with the selection.

As the deer streaked past him, he leaped into he path of the unusual trio, forcing them to a halt. "Hey, what the heck?" The wolf snarled they came to a halt in a cloud of snow.

"A feline?" The Coyote said in a befuddled manner.

"Heeeere kitty, kitty, kitty, maybe you can serve as lunch instead?" The hyena laughed as the three fanned out around him.

"Look, I am sorry for the loss of your meal but I...I had to save that deer. I couldn't let you just simply kill it," the burnt orange tiger said in what he hoped was a reasonable tone.

But instead, the three canines just burst out laughing, rolling in the snow and cackling with mirth, "THE HELL?!" The coyote howled. "A big feline like you doesn't eat meat? That's the funniest thing I have ever heard. Maybe this is why they went extinct because they got stupid?!"

"Ex...extinct?" he said in confused shock. He didn't know if he was more taken by surprise by the three laughing at him saving a life, or the fact there was no more felines around. "I...I don't understand," He said, hoping he could get some explanation from the trio.

"Well, doesn't look like you understand a lot stripes. No offence but was you dropped on the head or something?" The wolf growled as he paced right up to him. Though a lot larger than either of the wolves, the tiger felt...threatened, that he was somehow a lot smaller and weaker than he actually looked.

Licking his lips, the hyena circled round to his back end and bit his tail, causing the tiger to jump off the ground and yowl loudly. "What are you doing?" He shouted in pain as he sat in the snow to help soothe the bite.

"Mmmmhhh, tiger meat will taste good yes?" He cackled to the rest as the three suddenly had him surrounded in a triangle.

He knew it somehow, he knew he wasn't acting as he should be doing. But why...why was he so at odds with his form now? Thinking quick, he cried out, "look, the deer is over there!" As soon as all heads looked in the direction he pointed, the strange tiger shot off as fast as he could before he heard the canines behind him give chase, realizing they had been tricked.

"How...the hell...will I...get out of...this?" he panted hard to himself as if expecting the answer to just appear out of thin air. A glance over his furred shoulder told him they were slowly gaining on him. He was weak, he was big, slow and cumbersome and he was helpless as...a cub? Somehow that didn't fit right with him, baby seemed more appropriate for him.

"If you give up now cat, we'll make your end swift and painless as possible for you!" The wolf who was heading the pack cried out from the front of the group,

Everywhere the tiger looked was just snow, hills and trees. He tried to find something...somewhere... "THERE!" He roared out to himself as he spotted a shimmering in the distance. Spearing off to his right he made a last frantic turn of speed for something he had seem just moments before. His paws skidding on the snow as he made a tight turn, the wolf right at his tail made a lunge, missing him just be a hair as the tiger let panic take over him.

Speeding towards the shimmering disturbance he leaped at it upon reaching the shimmering rift and with not even a pause, flashed through it. The wolf suddenly saw what he was heading to, tried to apply the breaks but had too much momentum going over the snow as with a cry, the wolf passed through and out the other end as a charred wolf skeleton.

The other two canines slowed down to a stop, they had heard about these lights that could kill you in an instant... "hey...how come that feline didn't get smoked?" The coyote whined to the hyena.

Shaking it's head in terrified bewilderment, the spotted hyena turned and fled, it's fright at what had just happened to their pack leader evident as it left a trail of yellow, mucky water in it's wake.

*

Memories, images, fragments of...something, seemed to filter through his mind. An image, a child of some sort. Furless, blunt claws and very vulnerable looking seemed to appear in his mind. The child though seemed to be so wild, he reminded him of an unruly cub with too much energy and mischief the way it thrashed around and made a mess. " Back then, you seemed to be too much like a wild animal. How delightfully ironic things are now reversed," a voice chuckled. The voice seemed to drip with evil and darkness, it sent shudders up his spine before he felt something nipping at his tail, rousing him from his slumber.

"Ugh?" The large feline growled, waking up to something nibbling at his tail before he tried to kick whatever was biting at him away.

"Wow, you sure are weird ain't ya?" A young voice mewled from near his head. "You came out of no where and then just seemed to fall asleep in thin air. I thought you might be dead but I guess you were just really tired huh?"

Closing his eyes again, the tiger felt he could just sleep for eternity, he felt so tired and drained of energy. He was just about to fall asleep again before yowling as he felt those sharp teeth bite into his tail yet again. "Rowl! Cut that out!" He cried out in pain as he whipped his head around to stare at the offending youth.

A lion cub lay near his rump, an innocent look in his eyes in a cheeky display of innocence, holding the tigers tail in his muzzle. Dropping it, he spat some hairs out and smiled, looking pleased with himself. "Well, least you are awake now huh?"

Sighing, the tiger looked into the cubs bright, wide eyed innocence and somehow couldn't help a twinge of envy for its innocence and happy-go-lucky spirit. "Spirit. Why does that word resonate with me?" "Yeah...guess I am now huh?" He sat up and tried stretching his paws up in a yawn before he fell onto his front in a comical display.

Giggling, the cub laughed at him in general humour, "You're silly, know that? Felines don't stretch that way, is just...odd," the lion cub giggled before he stretched and yawned as if showing the large tiger.

Looking away as he felt his fur fluff up at been lectured by a cub, a question came to mind to ask the sandy coloured cub. "Do you...recognize me at all?" He said, hopeful he belonged here.

"No silly, I never seen one with such an odd coloured coat as yours, but maybe our pride leader could help you? Come, come on. I will lead you through our pridelands. Otherwise you may be mistaken for a rival and attacked. Keep up!"

"Hey, wait up!" The tiger cried out as he made to dash after the cub. He couldn't help thinking at how the cub could be so small and yet be so fast and agile as he struggled to keep pace. His limbs felt like they were made of so much lead then bones.

A good while of hard running and the cub slowed down to a trot with the large tiger panting, his tongue lolling out as the sun here felt very real and, very hot. To take his mind off of his discomfort, he looked around at where they were properly for the first time. The clear blue sky, the coarse, rough grass, the blazing heat of the sun, the rocky surrounds and little pools of water dotted all around seemed to trigger a memory of...something. Had he being here before or seen it somewhere?

"Hey!" The cub shouted happily, stopping right in front of the large cat so that he almost stepped on him, "you act like you never saw something like this before. Did you misplace your memory or something?"

"M-misplaced?!" The large tiger snorted with a laugh he didn't quite successfully conceal. Seeing the cubs affronted look he gave a quick apology before correcting him, "you mean lost my memory right?" He said, patting his head with a paw the size of the cubs head.

Shaking him off, the cub shook his body, "Sort of. But you more seem like you have...forgotten how to be a feline which I have never heard of before. You act so odd and un-feline like," he said, sitting there with his head cocked cutely to one side as if wondering if he would suddenly take some disguise off and reveal what he really was.

Shaking his head, the tiger sighed and padded up to a vacant pool of water with various felines lounging nearby. Sitting at the edge, he saw his reflection stare back at him. He pulled his lips back to reveal sharp, lethal teeth. Lifted a large paw up to examine the pads and managed after some concentration to unsheathe his claws. "Why don't I know how to act as a feline should?" Shaking his head, trying to clear his mind, he felt that dark presence there again. It seemed like every time he tried to remember something, he would feel something akin to ink spilling into his mind. It felt as if he was starting to lose himself to darkness and had to retreat from his mind each time.

"Son, there you are!" A deep, rumble of a voice suddenly sounded from behind the tiger, rousing him from his musings.

"Father?" The striped feline said, turning round eagerly thinking he was talking to him. His hopes were quickly dashed when he saw the cub pad off towards the owner of the voice. It was a lion, or more exactly a lion one would think to be on steroids. He was massive! His body was covered in a dull, almost black coat of fur. His mane was was of a grey colouration, showing he was some age. And yet for all that he couldn't be more terrifying in appearance with two large scars running across his body and another near his left eye.

"No silly, you're not even a lion," the cub stated from between his fathers front paws, sticking his tongue out.

The lion just stared at him for a while, "Son, you go back to the pride. No wondering mind, straight back or you will be in trouble, okay?" A rub of his small body round the giants paws was all he gave in answer before sprinting off, leaving the two large felines alone.

Shifting uncomfortably, he looked this way, then that, and noticed the other lions gave this giant a look of respect or fear before going back to their business. "Fallen spirit, why are you here?" He growled directly at the tiger.

"I-I don't know what you are talking about, sir," he said, trembling a fair bit. He didn't know why, but this lion had more than just presence about him. There seemed to be something much deeper, and more powerful.

"I see...you are not fallen are you, just broken. How sad..." He said with a look of pity towards him before turning round, casting him a stern glance. "Follow me, if you wish a haven you will have to become a member of my pride. But as soon as I see fit to kick you out for being a danger I will, understood?"

Nodding glumly, the tiger couldn't help but feel there was a lot unsaid. "What did you mean by fallen spirit, sir!" He said quickly as he saw his glare at him.

"You will learn in time, but I doubt you even remember your name do you?" A sad shake of the head was all he got in reply, "you need a name for us to call you by. Very well, from now on you will be known as Tygon. My name is Zieth. Now follow me, I will introduce you to the pride."

"Tygon..." the large tiger said as he tried the name. He had nothing else to go on by and seemed to work, so he thought it good to keep with it as he was led past more watering holes and eventually to a large rock to which he followed a few leaps behind up the smaller rocks until they both had a good view all around.

"My friends and children of the pride, I am hear to introduce to you a new member of our pride," the lion roared, his voice seeming to be impossibly loud as it seemed to echo for miles around as if he had...what was it called, a microphone, loudspeaker?

"I would like to draw your attention to a special 'guest' staying with us. Even though he won't be permanent, he is to be treated like any other member of the pride. And that includes in the initiation of course."

"Wait, initiation?" Tygon said in some confusion before to his surprise, Zieth leaped onto him and gripped his nape in his large, powerful muzzle. "W-what are you doing?" He cried out, his front down and rump exposed.

"You will ave to be shown to the rest that you are not above me, and for that they need to see me dominate you," Zieth growled round his nape before thrusting his already erect dick into his anus.

"Ahhhh!" Tygon cried out loud. His voice unusually high for been so large as he was pierced through.

"Don't struggle, otherwise I will be, 'huff', forced to hurt you," Zieth growled as he thrust his barbed penis into the tigers tight tail-hole.

He didn't know or understand why, but for some reason this was...very enjoyable. He felt violated, he felt abused but to feel someone else in control, feeling those barbs grip his walls and he didn't have a painful grip round his neck. He knew somehow that he rather get this over with quickly and found his own feline penis hard and bobbing between his legs.

All the males below were shouting, "Submit, Submit!" In a roaring chorus. The female felines below seemed to make a face at this vulgar show and some even waved their behinds to him to show what they thought of this rite. But a few of the younger felines, a black leopard in particular, giggled and wtached and waited with anticipation.

Thrust, thrust, thrust, the orange tiger could feel the giant lions furred balls slap against his own. It felt just so good. The feeling of those barbs gripping his walls, his anus throbbed and massaged around the large feline phallus. It was something that was so wrong,and yet he felt... "mrroarrrrhhhhh!!" He cried out as he came, his seed jetting from between his legs to which one young, giggling female panther caught eagerly in her muzzle and licked her lips, gazing hungrily towards him.

"Thus concludes...your i-initiation into the pride. Welcome Tygon, now please, I need to be excused," Zieth growled, his speech slurring as he hopped, or more slid off the rock and staggered off.

Tygon lay there, the felines below him roaring out to him. Well, most of them did anyway. But for the poor, unusual feline he felt lost. He had just been violated and abused in front of a huge crowd. And yet he...enjoyed it? What's more, he could feel something inside him beyond the hot seed that leaked out onto the floor from his gaping tailhole.

"Mmh, welcome to the pride Tygon," the young pantheress growled out sensually, climbing up to where he lay in a daze. "Come on, there will no doubt be a mate-fest to celebrate your arrival here. Rare is the occasion we get new blood here in the pride lately." With that, and a flick of her tail, at his nose, she bade him follow.

In too much of a daze to argue or think, Tygon lumbered after her, his steps becoming less laboured as he recovered from the ordeal. So caught up in his own whirlwind of thoughts, he didn't notice a number of angry glares in his direction.

*

For a while they didn't talk,they just walked on and on towards a waterfall in the distance, surrounded by palm like trees, only they looked more like they were made out of rubber than wood with the texture.

Pawing at the strange tree, he found it actually gave off a disturbingly soft feel. A sniff of it didn't glean him anything extra either.

"Quite something isn't it?" The black furred female spoke in a purring voice, "the location I mean. Isn't it something?"

Glancing around, he had to admit that it was something indeed. Pure blue skies, a faint breeze that blew steadily and a beautiful small waterfall that pooled into the naturally formed pool. Yes it was indeed perfect...maybe too much so.

"So, that was quite a display you put on there for us all. Not many can stand up to that," she giggle-purred. "In fact," she leaned into his ear to purr her words, "most faint and can't seem to walk for hours. You are the first one who showed strength enough to stand right afterwards. And what's more, I was the one who caught your seed, meaning I am your mate," she followed this up with a lingering lick-kiss just below his ear.

A shake of his head, he back stepped away from her, "We don't even know each other. I don't even know your name," he said, making the young female scowl in a puzzled fashion.

"Well, it is the law of the wild here. You have proven your stamina and I was the female that caught your seed. So the law here is you have to take me as your mate. And well...you are just so big and cute looking, I really want you as well." The female said with an almost embarrassed flick of ears. "And...my name is Senka."

"Senka?" Tygon said as though testing the name before a memory stirred, "as in Shadow? Suits you," he gave a brief nuzzle to her before feeling the panthers fur rise in a blush. "Um, I-I'm sorry. I don't know where that came from," he said, white spotted ears dipping and large body haunching as he tried to sort things out. Was that how a feline was supposed to act? Was he remembering how a tiger was supposed to behave now?

"Hey look, over there. A gazelle!" Senka exclaimed as she spotted a handsome buck in the distance, just grazing in the shade of some small trees. "Come on, you can show me how strong you are by helping me take down that prey." She made to set off, but didn't see her chosen mate set off with her. "Tygon?"

"Why do we have to kill it, he hasn't done us any harm so why not leave him be?" He said, confused at why they would want to kill a living creature.

"What?!" She said in almost laugh-like belief. "What are you babbling about? You know by now that we need to hunt and eat. So stop been silly and follow me," she said before setting off with a shake of her head.

There was too much confusion running through his head at that point to argue. Something inside seemed to be warring for control, a voice wanted to be heard but he couldn't tell if it was his own confused thoughts or an echo from something else.

"You will go nowhere with Senka intruder!" A roar suddenly sounded from above, the sound melding with the roaring water from the falls.

"Seika!" Senka cried out at a white tiger who stood proudly, as though he thought he was the lord of all he surveyed.

Two blurs suddenly shot from the top of the falls and landed on Tygon, crushing his back with their weight with a sickening crunch and a pained cry. "STOP IT!!" The female cried out at the two felines, a Jaguar and a Puma who pinned him, even though he had no chance of moving now.

"Senka. You should know by now that there is something wrong here. This world feels fake, as does our leader who has suddenly gone missing. Now why do you think that? I will tell you the answer. Our leader is a demon, and he has chosen this intruder to be his new vessel. Tell me I am wrong," he jumped down, landing just next to the large tigers head and growled into his ear, "demon!"

"I-I don't know...what you are talking about," he growled in pain, a thin dribble of blood running from his muzzle.

"LIAR!" He sunk his fangs into his neck, bringing a spasm of pain from Tygon and a weak growl of pain as more blood ran from between clenched fangs.

"STOP STOP!" Senka cried out, murky tears beginning to run from her eyes as she barrelled into Seika."

She lashed out with fang and claws at the other two and looked at the dying form of Tygon. "Why...why do this? This is madness to kill a member of the pride for no reason. You have no proof of what you claim."

"Cease your whining Senka, and he is all the proof I need. Isn't it odd that our leader has been around long enough to see cubs born, grow old and raise their own for them to grow old as well? And then he comes along and doesn't even pass out from the initiation like all others do? I am tired of this stale world, and once I kill and eat him you will see, I won't waste the power it will give me and will free our kind from this false world, yes I will," the white tiger growled, madness gleaming in his blue eyes.

The last thing Tygon heard before darkness engulfed him was the females cries and pleas as she was bullied out of the way for a killing bite.

*

"Why...why am I dying? What did I do wrong, why...just why?"

"_ Hmm, hmmh, pathetic, you really are pathetic," _ a voice chuckled in mirth as a tiger materialized, looking just like him except he was different shades of black, sported red glowing eyes, a dark red smear that ran underneath his belly and blood red wings that sprouted from his shoulders. That is why you need me so you could break away from your mundane cycle. And now you are here, dying. What a waste. I will put an end to your pitiful existence and claim your body as my own vessel."

*

"NO!" Senka cried out, pinned by the white tigers cronies as he lunged to tear Tygon's throat out before a dark glow engulfed his inert form. The white tiger staggered back in a shock as unseen forces seemed to buffet and push him aside. Orange and white fur turned pitch black, his black stripes became a lighter shade of dark grey. His cream belly turned almost pure black with a slight hint of red running through it.

"Ahhh, that's better," he growled as his spine snapped back into place with a sickening crack.

Stunned for a brief moment, all the assembled felines stood with jaws agape at what they saw before Seika shook his head. "See! He is a demon. He needs to be killed right now!" He growled, lunging right for him.

Sighing in a bored manner, he glanced the white tigers way before a dark spike seemed to puncture straight through his muzzle, piercing right through his other other end, killing him in a second in a shower of gore. His fur became spattered with blood, the dark form seemed to relish in the feel of it on his fur and smirked at the fear in their faces.

Senka stood there trembling, her yellow eyes wide as an owl in fright at what she was seeing. Meanwhile, the other two felines shot off in different directions across the sparse grass to escape.

Giving a brief laugh as though this were a fun game, the demonic looking tiger seemed to melt into a shadow and appeared in front of the puma's path. Swiping in a lazy manner, the Puma dodged the swipe easily, only for a split second later for blood to gush out of him as ten foot claws cleaved him into even pieces. Bathing in the blood with relish, he seemed to soak it up, the blood absorbing into his body.

The remaining feline to be dealt with was only getting further and further away, but it didn't matter to him at all. A flex of his shoulder muscles and bloody wings sprouted from between his blades with a triumphant roar. A powerful leap, a flap of wings he launched himself into the ever cloudless blue and easily caught up with the Jaguar. Seeing a black shadow above him, the feline left a trail of fluids as fright voided his bladder. A cross motion of his two front paws had the demonic tiger carve a claw-like X into the ground, shredding the feline to pieces as yet more gore spattered into his fur, and again seemed to be soaked up.

Giving an elated breath, he beat his wings effortlessly back towards the waterfall where a trembling pantheress still stood there. She had seen it with her eyes what he had done with her own keen vision. Was this really the same gentle, confused tiger she knew just a moment before? "Hmm, too stunned to run? Just like a deer caught in the headlights," he growled, smirking as his red eyes glowed bright with hunger.

He would mate with her, breed her, impregnate her with his demonic seed and corrupt her. She would be the start of a bloody and demonic rule of his.

Swooping low on her, Senka, covered in gore from the white tiger, seemed to just recover enough from her shock to cry out, "NO!"

Crouching low, the black demon tiger snarled before executing a quick about in the air. Giving flight, she streaked off as fast as she could run. But alas, her speed was no match for an airborne creature's speed.

Swooping in low, he wrapped his paws round her and brought the feline skidding to a halt on her front. Yowling and thrashing about, she tried to turn around and sink her teeth into his paws. But when she bit in, all she got was a mirth filled chuckle, followed by a vile taste in her muzzle.

"W-what are you?!" She cried out, for all her feline strength and flexibility she may as well have been a mewling cub for all the difference it made now.

"I...am a demon, born from hatred and revenge against a world that torments and imprisons me. And you will be the first of who I will corrupt," Tygon growled as he forced her to stand.

"No...no!" she cried out, biting and tearing at his fur with her teeth, but she may as well have been tearing at thin air for all the good it did.

His feline member came out of its sheath, his toothy grin looking frighteningly white against his black furred face.

"PLEASE, STOP!" Senka cried out pleadingly. She didn't want to become like him, become a mindless monster that killed for the enjoyment of it. But all he did was laugh, relishing in her horror before thrusting into her.

Senka opened her muzzle in a silent roar, the length was big, huge, gigantic. It felt like she was going to be pierced through by the length and spines. "Ahh, that's it, show me how much it hurts you. You will only make this more entertaining," he said in sadistic delight.

*

"What's going on? Where am I?" Tygon thought, his ears twitching and trying to make sense of what was going on. It felt like he was been devoured slowly, his strength slowly dwindling away and wanted to just fade so he could rest.

He saw through the encroaching darkness himself...or rather his body, albeit somewhat changed, violating the feline who just not so long ago was laughing and wanting him. But now, she was in pain, being forced. "No...stop it," he thought weakly. But it was no use, his mind was slowly melding with that the darkness.

"_ Enjoying the show are we? Don't worry, she will be taken good care of as my servant. Until I no longer need her that is. But don't worry, you won't be around to witness what I plan to do next." _

He felt the last bit of himself begin to collapse, giving in. He couldn't fight this so what was the point on bothering?

Suddenly, a light seemed to burn through the darkness of his mind. An image of a heavily scarred lion with dark grey fur flashed through his mind. "I will not let you have your way, demon. You seek to take over this already broken world? You wish to endanger my people? I will burn your existence with the last of my strength into nothingness!"

*

"Hah, hah, nearly...almost," the demonic tiger grunted out as he pounded into her feline pussy. He had begun leaking his corruption into her, the feline slowly surrendering to his control and began just about begging for him.

"Please master, fill me. Fill me with all you have got!" She growled, her yellow orbs slowly turning a pinky-red colouration as the corruption spread through her being.

Suddenly the dark tiger froze just when he was about to ejaculate into he. "UUAAAHHHHHHH!" He roared out, yanking painfully away from her as a light seemed to engulf his large form.

"Master, what's wrong?" Senka said in a somewhat confused manner, when the light seemed to melt the darkness from his form, wings dissolving in a bloody puff and dark ooze spattering the ground, sizzling before evaporating. The same could be seen beginning to happen with the female panther as her orbs returned to their natural state.

Head shaking, eyes scrunched she tried to recover from her confusion, "what?" She asked to nothing in particular.

"Uhh, S-Senka, are you okay?" Tygon's gentle voice came as he lay sprawled on the ground, looking as if he had ran all day without stopping and feeling about as bad.

"D-Demon, Demon, Demon, Demon!" She cried out, scuttling back away from him, terror wide in her eyes.

"Senka please, I-I am not. I was possessed," Tygon tried reasoning but to no avail as with a final cry of demon, the terrified young pantheress took flight towards the rest of the pride, no doubt to warn them.

Head hanging low, ears and tail to match he wished he could just melt away as the darkness had. He would not be able to go back to the pride as everyone would now know of what had transpired. He had no where he belonged yet again, and still just about as lost as he first was. Head still low, tail scraping the ground he turned round only to nearly shoot six feet in fright.

Standing before him was... "Zieth?" He said in disbelief first, then relief. "Thank goodness you are here. Please, you have to straighten things out with the pride for me. Tell them I am not"

"No, I can not," The large, scarred lion growled out to him before his form seemed to waver, "my time is short and there is much to discuss." "Your memories should be returning soon, I am like you though. We are what were called in myth, spirit animals of our world. This world as you know of it is fake, a ruined world abandoned, geld together by who knows what. It is apart from the rest of the universe and our, or rather my energy is limited being so cut off from the spirit world. When I bonded to you during the ceremony I actually gave you my spirit for I sensed a terrible and powerful darkness within you. The denizens of this broken land that have been created by many a fleeing spirit from our own realm would have been corrupted if I had not taken action. But worry not, I am sure you will find a way to survive. Us felines have an uncanny knack of doing so."

His form began to fade, "My time for explaining has come to an end Tygon. I am sorry I can not do more but I will help you one final time. Farewell!"

"Wait!" Tygon cried out as the lions form flickered and then just seemed to melt into the ground ina pool of light where a sunflower sprouted in his place.

"Zieth..." Tygon growled lowly, touching his muzzle to the flower before a faint shimmering seemed to swirl above it. Startled only for a moment, The bright orange tiger knew that this was the lions last gift to him. He didn't know what to expect but judging by the roars coming from nearby, his chances were better there than having to fight off every feline here.

Ignorant and unknowing of what lay ahead, he jumped into the portal, the flower shrivelling up and dying seconds afterwards, the portal following suit.

Epilogue:

It seemed like he went on forever, spiralling through an endless white void though in reality it was nothing more than mere minutes.

He closed his eyes as the whiteness surrounding him grew in intensity, until it threatened to stab through even his eyelids until he felt himself land, his paws buckling slightly from the sudden landing. "Okay...where now?" He groaned wondering what would be awaiting here for him.

But to the orange furred tigers surprise... "It is just an endless expanse of white?" He said in somewhat confusion. "Was I exiled here to keep the rest safe from this demon that resides in me?"

But when he turned round, he saw a small patch of grass and a large red oak tree at the centre of the grassy patch. "Is this supposed to be some sort of sick joke?" He wondered aloud padding over to the sparse bit of green in an otherwise barren expanse.

Glancing up, there was still a sun coming from...wherever in this broken land.

Stepping onto the grass, it felt surprisingly soft and fresh under his pads, the sensation of something under his paws welcome after feeling like he was walking of just air before. The peace was short lived though as he made a retching sound, a number of lumps seeming to form in his stomach as he began heaving.

Something started to be pushed from his throat, his neck muscles constricted and his body shuddering from the pain and effort as he felt his breathing cut off for a moment. He arched his back, stretching his neck out as much as possible before bending over and balking hard.

Once, twice, three times he retched, eyes tearing up through the ordeal before he opened his amber eyes slowly, trembling with the strain and as to what he would have to face next. The little breath he had regained threatened to leave him as he saw what he had brought up.

Laying before him, squirming on the ground covered in saliva lay three mewling hybrid kittens. A puma/tiger hybrid, a jaguar/tiger hybrid and a tiger cub that was half white and half orange.

"W-what?" He gasped as he stared at the three tiny bundles. "How is that possible?" He remembered them from before he was taken over by the demonic form, the three that tried to kill him. But. "Did I...eat their spirits?" He said to himself.

Nosing them each over, an even larger surprise was that they were now all females.

Sitting on his rump, he just shook his head in confusion. Was he supposed to start a new land here? And what was he supposed to eat? "Come to think of it," Tygon growled, tilting his head at the mewling cubs, " what are they supposed to eat?

The end? NO WAY! Chapter two where answers will be found and surprising twists unfold.
