Atop a freezing mountain lost in time was a white tiger cub, sniffling as he buried himself in snow. He was downcast as he raised his head to see his brothers and sisters soaring through the cosmos, uncontested.
He saw them and buried himself deeper in the snow. He was ashamed to be seen, but, a gentle hand-picked pat the snow from his body.
'What is wrong, Little Li? Is something wrong? Is this world not fit to your liking? Do you want Mother to terraform it?' Chun's gentle voice sounded.
'N-no, it is perfect, Mother. Please, do not worry about me.' The little Lixus of the time shook his tiny head.
Chun picked up Lixus from the snow and with his feet dangling still, she pouted, asking him, 'Is mother so untrustworthy that you cannot tell me about your worries?'
'No, no, of course not… it is just…do you promise you will not laugh?'
