The First Questions

"Well isn't that lovely for the sons, they were all decent if not extraordinary as people and lovers. I mean the Tiger princess must have been so proud of her sons, but wait why say nothing about the daughter? Did something happen to her? Why isn't there a gallant knight for the little princess?"

Amber's face twisted with the rumors and the theories of what happened to the princess. "As a young one, she was quite special. She seemed to have been gifted in the ape clans mental attacks, so she was revered as a goddess like being within her family and both clans. It was even hinted that she had the roar like her grandfather that could shake the lands, seven times over. She was to have started to meet possible mates. They had very little hope as most weren't quite worthy of their daughter's first time."

"That was what I needed to hear, such a powerful female. What happened to her? Does she live her life out somewhere quiet? I mean she is just incredible in fact." 'Just like mother, this lady must be the woman mother looked up to. My mother's role model's story is so cool, if only I could meet her.'

"Well it's said one day she just vanished into thin air.."

"She.. she disappeared?" Alarmed and confusion crosses her face, unable to hide it the mix on her face. "Amber you! … Could you please tell me uhm tell me exactly when she vanished? And how old was she when she vanished?"

"Uhm…." After seeing the once cool and calm Sasha become shaken, "C..could you have been… are you her? I mean she disappeared around the same age you seem to look… did you take some emeralds or sapphires?"

"What.. O no no, I mean I could like maybe.. I think she's my mother, I was supposed have been born here. I also vanished from my world … I wished to come here like all my life."

In that moment Amber eyes became wide. The truth made Sasha a princess, a living descendant of the beloved Tiger princess. If she could have a way to bring back the one that caused much worry and sorrow, Amber's eyes began to water.

"I am the first to figure out what happened and to see someone of her descent, her daughter." Amber comes and gives the biggest embrace to Sasha.

Holding her back smiling and in tears, she feels a sister in heart and souls. Sasha feels this world has the kindred spirit of her primal desires, this is the place she needs to be forever. The feral nature within her is growing becoming more powerful, the power passed down within her mother and her grandmother before her's.

Sasha opening up the truth opened her heart to Amber,"Thank you so much for understanding, you are my soul sister. I hope to do whatever I can to keep you around forever." They stayed embraced for a moment that felt timeless and beautiful.

"Now since you are a princess, thy princess, you need to know why more than just idle prattle. I think you should go to the capital once you are ready, I can teach you what I can. So are you ready?" Amber holding out her hand smiling.

Grabbing her hand, "Well could you please start with the magical gem system? I don't know much about that so let's start there. You were talking about Sapphires and Emeralds just now?"

"Well Sapphires can strength the body and mind, making it possible for even a female to bridge the gap of abilities. Well that last part is just speculated, no one has ever prove it true. Emeralds keep you looking young and extend your life by about 10 years. I believed that you could have been your mother under those being things in our world. Those of course are only two of the many gems we have and the special abilities. What exactly do you want to know more about? How to collect them? Or which are rare?"

"Well to be honest I would much prefer knowing how I would get them and how rare they are, then what they do can come seconds. Like should I defeat strong beasts or should I dig for them?" Trying to remember the little her mother talked about the gems of this world.

Amber thinking of a way to explain the collecting of gems, as you could get gems in many places you just had to know what to look for. "Hmm, I would put it like this, if you are looking for low level gems then you could find them in the ground, the colors will be weak and the affects the same. You also can't find a lot of gems that way. You could find the more abundant gems like quartz and pearls in the ground or in some animals. More can be found this way but you would have to figure the animals to better know what gems are possible. Higher level animals like the gigantic ones would have the best like Emeralds and magnificent Sapphires. Does that make sense to you?"

"Yes I do understand, it isn't too much like me homeland. Though no animals had gems in them natural. So I could start collecting them by digging and besting low level animals? Then could we further our lesson and research on all the affects gems have." Looking through her bag, taking notes in one book and staring at another.

Amber looking a little curious, "Are these the items of another world? They look pretty different but not anything crazy?" Looking at the pencils and ruler, she seems happy playing with the little trinkets in her bag.

Thus the night continued on like a sleepover on Earth would, they giggled and played with each other. The truth made a bond like no other, they giggled over the simple things. The sweet people around the village, their looks and how they compare in Sasha's eye from another world. They played late into the night and slept throughout.

Come the following morning things became interesting once more. Once the sun rose and the people began to come from their homes, in the center of the village there was a presents from mysterious admirers. They were many and they were all filling with ....

What are the presents filled with? Where did they come from? Who will be there to confess to Sasha? Come and find out in the next chapter.
