Goodbye Mama Tiger

When Mama Tiger returned, she spotted Arix waiting at the cave entrance. Not wanting to scare her with the blood on her mouth, she quickly turned to lick it clean.

Feeling better, she turned back and looked at Arix gently. "Why are you still waiting at the door? Are you still scared? Don't worry, the bad guys are gone."

Seeing Mama Tiger's gentle demeanor, Arix felt a pang of sadness about their impending separation, and her eyes welled up with tears. But she remembered the Alliance and Thaddeus and Fleur waiting for her. Gathering her resolve, she said, "I'm sorry, Mama Tiger, I have to go."

"Go? No way! You're my little one. How can you leave? You're still so young; it's too dangerous out there!" Mama Tiger said anxiously.
