Chapter 1 : Beginning of its Journey

Deep in the vast space of the world are billions upon billions of worlds

Each one containing its own set of life and 'rules'

Inside this space we take a closer look at a Journey of something odd

A red glowing ball of light moving a vast distance past each galaxy

It burns a bright glow like a star but it's much too small to be one

It's full of hot pure energy radiating off of it glowing dimmer by eons

"It's so cold, I feel warm inside but it's so cold". Thought the red starlight

One day, it would eventually crash into a planet called Ephus

A fiery trail followed suite as it gravitated towards the ground

And immediately after it made contact, a huge explosion of energy and light emitted out of the impact

"WHAT IS THIS FEELING!!! I DON'T LIKE IT!!! ITS ALL AROUND ME!!!" Said the red starlight

What this feeling was is pain

It didn't know anything about concepts like this, It never understood anything at all for all it's lifetime

As it writhed in pain, the smaller creatures that felt this energy fled

While the large ones, beasts or hunters of the forest felt greed and hunger for this raw source of energy

One of these beasts were a group of what looked like wolves

But unlike what you think, these wolves were twice the size silver white in color with an eerie glow from their eyes as they ran across towards the flash of light

Their sharp teeth and claws of their bodies shredded through trees getting to that source of power

While these beasts start heading towards its direction, the red glow slowly diminished in size

A beast was watching this as it happened, a panther

It slowly stalked its way towards the ball with a single thought of 'Mana stone'

As the ball shrunk in size, it became aware of its surroundings

It no longer felt as warm but outside of this feeling wasn't as cold

What it felt was different, it couldn't describe any meanings but it wasn't bad

It was an unusual feeling

When the panther approached cautiously it became aware of its presence

It noticed its body full of fur, sharp eyes, teeth, and claws

They were 2 completely different entities to each other, one mistaking it for a rock

The red orb did not know why but it had this weird feeling, it got stronger with each passing second until it became unbearable

The red orb suddenly started glowing and growing in size as its shape started taking the form of the panther

Suddenly, 2 look alikes stared at each other

One with confusion, while the other with a shocked expression

He roared at this doppelgänger "What are you!?"

The figure started processing this new information as each sounds meaning was registered directly into its head having complete knowledge of language

It replied " I don't know, what am I, what are you, what is this place?"

The panther was shocked to see it understood what it said replying "I'm Okiku, a panther. You fell straight from the sky as a red stone and turned into a panther." Roaring it out calmly

It roared back softly "Is that so, What does Okiku mean? What is panther and what is sky?"

"Okiku is my name, a name is what others call you. Panther is what I am, a predator. And the sky is above you always, full of these glowing balls that sparkle at night."

"What does all this mean."

"Do I have to explain everything!!!" It roared in frustration

Suddenly a loud howl rang out from the dark forest

"It's not safe here, follow me and I'll explain later"

Okiku did not know why, but it felt a sort of kinship and familial tie towards this stranger like a brother

As it stared out, only after dragging him with him did he know how to even walk

As they started running, a white wolf with sky blue eyes with a scar over one approached the crater

It sniffed the air and growled "Panther, 2 of them, one of them is Okiku".

"Boss!" Called out one of the wolves behind him

"Derieri, what is it?"

"Your Luna is giving birth, you must hurry back!"

"Alright, we shall return".

As the pack started returning, the alpha stared back at a silhouette of a panther glaring at him from a distance before running back

"Okiku". It muttered

====================================== :Okiku's new babysitting career Part 1

"So basically, what your saying is that a ball of fire was flying across the sky and decided to hit here of all places". Okiku stared in disbelief

"And that was you!? Gosh, I'm getting old…"

"I guess, but even I don't understand things, the first time you roared I didn't even know what it meant until my head became clearer".

"What does all this mean, what is this place and who am I?"

*sighed* Okiku stared at this adult baby before contemplating what to do

'I can't just leave him here or else he'll die, but it's going to be pain to teach him how things work'

As soon as he finished thinking he decided to teach him and put him to work

And later, he kinda regrets it
