20 Family

The young tiger glared at the world of the man below.

"Father this time do you think we will find sister?"

"We might be lucky this time. After all the information circulating by the bird folks is that the eldest prince as taken a small tiger cub in." He said with a soft tone as he spoke to his son but his eyes were even crueller.

Taking a human form before walking down the mountain the tiger king no longer rampaged left and right if he wanted to find his daughter he needed to do so discreetly if not they might hide the child so deeply that he would never find her.

"Stay in the mountain for now. You do not possess a human form yet which reminds me we need to find a suitable candidate for your breakthrough…" He looked at his son there was some gentleness inside the gaze he cast. He was a proud father his son was a rare genius.

Normally he would have had to wait at least a few more years before the consciousness wakes up. But this son of his had his breakthrough happened the day his little sister was taken and the reason had been anger.

It also speeded the development of his other son and daughter but their strength is too negligible to be taken in.

Let go to a sect to find a body with ample aptitude that can easily host your soul for you.

Both disappeared from the mountain to head to one of the biggest sects of the Kingdom.

Arriving at a demonic sect which was near their location isolated into the mountains the majestic tiger roared loudly. "Sect master you step out to meet this Spirit Emperor."

A few moments later the plaza of the sect filled with its disciples looking at the beasts that stood higher in the mountains looking down at them with murder in their eyes.

"Tiger spirit emperor what does this one do to deserve this great one's visit?" Speaking with eyes that were full of nervous fear he dared not to breathe too loudly.

That tiger king had been rampaging left and right if he provoked him would he survive? Likely not. He would do anything this thing said if not the sect would be destroyed. His black robes held no decorations other than the sect crest on his chest.

"This king request nothing much only your best Male genius not aged more nor less than fifteen years of age." He spoke as if he was asking bread for breakfast. He held humans in component and cared not for their lives nor their grief.

The sect leader turned pale this tiger asked for one of there genius and it had to be a male. He had cold sweat falling down his back. This creature was of monstrous strength he would never win over him and likely even if everyone united they would only meet with doom.

But his honour a dictated that he face the monster… After all such request was a slap to his face pure and simple this thing was asking him to surrender his best disciple and it happened to be his own son that met with the age and disposition criteria.

As the saying goes no matter how a tiger is cruel, a tiger does not eat his own cubs He could be cruel but not be cruel to the point to kill his own son!

-----------------------------------------------------

Miles from there Katsy was looking over the paper contracts that had been delivered to her by the prince seeing them as genuine she ripped them apart and burned them into the light brazier.

"As for the other matter, I asked will it be done?" She asked not turning around toward the prince, looking at the rubbish paper burn to its last ash.

"It's done the face front decision maker will be Fire Drake as he is the eldest male. Katsy are you sure you do not wish to join an existing family it would be better saying you are their distant relative from the outside." He tried again to convince the tiger-girl if he involved more people he could use any link against this naive human loving tiger girl.

Sadly the best chest piece was killed before it became any use to him. If he could plant more people of his own to her side he could have them plant ideas inside planting seeds to claim her easier when the time came.

"I refuse. I have my family and since it's bothersome to have many people around me I would rather not." She responded in a sweet honey voice while she made a bright smile but those smile now never reached her eyes.

Anyhow time to go to that shop again even if I hate it, she thought to herself. She was in need of capable people and she did not trust as much this prince as she used to do clearly imperials Neverwhere simple minded and you always needed to watch your back with them.

Although it made her a bit dispirited to think that he might have had betrayed her but she held no proof of it. Dove death was not really his fault after all this was an era where medicine was not advanced maybe if dove never got hurt they would have never known that she was still ill as the disease seemed to have receded nicely.

She could neither affirm nor deny the possibility, this situation placing her into an awkward disposition neither being able to be as trusting nor able to deny him.

"Fire Drake, Sparrow." She named them and they appeared from their hidden spots.

Fire Drake had trouble treating the girl anything else but a master, while with the appearance of his little sister Sparrow couldn't help but stare and want to be genuine siblings. After all, both her body and now part of her soul was one of his sisters.

Speaking softly to them as she made a bright smile. "Both of you either chose a new name or return to your original one. I will do the same this time." Looking at their schedule face she giggled.

"What cat got your tongues?" She teased sparrow with a light poke the boy seemed to be frozen before his face lighted up like a thousand suns.

"We, can be a real legit family now?" Sluttering the words as now tears of joy fell from his eyes as he started sobbing disbelieving that all the grief he had endured all those years not only would end but he was now free and had a genuine family now.

She calmly hugged the crying boy she possessed Dove's memories and knew how those two had suffered at the hands of their family and later in slavery. The kindness of that family she would pay it back for them by a thousandfold.

"We should go and get those new servants." Speaking lightly yet with the want of interrupting the moment seeing her hug that kid it pissed him off he wanted to destroy him but he could not. That damned snotty brat still had its uses.
