Tigers By Angelhawk

A gold tiger was running from something causing trouble in the south of Siera NA. she had given birth to a few cubs but had to leave them and move on .. She was wounded by the adventurers not knowing she was friendly and they had to remove the remaining cubs from her when she died . They were then given to the folks that were there to raise . The cubs that the adventurers didnt see have since been found by theo and ellidy . The druid in the temple couldnt keep them as she was taking care of so many injured and abandoned babies since the drive north from the as yet unseen wrongness in south ..


In The forest very near the northern entrance of morzelmore Melocia climbs her favorite tree to sleep in. As she does two paws grab her helm almost comletely encompassing her head. A Baby sabretooth then starts to chew on the helm. Not enought to hurt Melocia just enough to let her know the baby is there.

After a moment it licks the helm. Melocia giggles and says, "Windsong you knew it was me all along". The tiger bats her lightly then lets her get up on the branch.

Melocia pets the tiger then jumps back down off the branch. Windsong follows coming out of the tree slowly as if unsure. Mel takes out a bowl and puts milk out for her. Windsong attacks the bowl with joy. and laps up every once even some she spills on the ground.

Mel slowly walks a several paces away and watches windsong drink her milk. She thinks of all she is able to do and all that she cant do. The things she can get help with. Windsong finishes and walks over to melocia with her slight limp. Mel starts speaking in animal,

" Well Windsong lets take a good look at that leg, your a fine Tiger but you may need to be different, you may need to be smart like your auntie mel"

She carefully feels Windsongs bad leg. It feels normal nor does the kitten cry out, which to mel seems strange. Then Mel goes to the other hind leg and slowly feels it. Mel looks and feels it then it dawns on her. The bad leg is shorter than the other. The paw too is smaller. Mel steps back.

She goes back in animal, " I know whats wrong windsong. I and friends will have to teach you differently to fend for yourself but your very special."

The tiger paws her again and mews at her. Mel giggles and breaks free. aw so you want to play. Windsong says in animal "yes mom" . Mel takes a step back in surprise and says " not real mom............big sister ok? Your really smart Windson thats a good start now lets play". The kitten waits patiently while mel starts speaking strange words and signing archeic symbols with her hands. Mels flesh turns to stone then she changes into a pixie. The Kitten attacks and the two play till sundown along the trees.


Ilthara adopted a cub named Amura, who is an aesthete and a somewhat hedonistic person.

Eliidy adopted a cub named Mara, intelligent and adventurous.

Mara and Amura are both female. Mara is a little older and has been with the other early cubs out on their own for quite a while, while Amura has been looked after from birth. Mara is smaller and will likely remain so, but has an amazing constitution.


Marie adopted a cub named Nighteyes who is playful and curious. Although not a strong as most males, Nighteyes makes up for this by being faster and more agile than the majority of his kind.

Nighteyes was raised by Marie from birth. With nearly constant care for a long time their bond is strong. After weeks of effort, Marie taught Nighteyes enough that he can hunt on his own. Nighteyes still ammuses himself by attempting to sneak up on Marie and pounce on her back. Now that he's grown bigger he seems more and more determined to accompany Marie constantly except when she's reading. Reading bores Nighteyes so he takes these opportunities to hunt and sleep.

Caland is raising Valmar, a proud male who prefers to hunt rather than eat what's given to him. He still is a bit playful, and if one of his siblings is neaby, he gets very curious.

Valmar was one of the five taken from the mother's womb. Cal did not want to raise him, but agreed when the cub started whining for him.


Theodosia does not want the tiger cub she has been entrusted with to imprint too strongly on people or thing that they are her 'kind' or pride. Consquently she is attempting to raise the tiger as closely to the way a wild cat would as she is able.

She has made a den for the tiger and spends much of her time acquiring nutrients for the cub and feeding and caring for her. She takes care to groom and feed the tiger as well as play with her and teach her how to move silently and unseen, how to wait an listen and how to move quickly.

On a trip to the village to acquire milk to suppliment the meat she has started feeding the tiger, she talked to Jodro. She plans on finding the weretiger Haden and seeing if he can find a family of wild tiger who will foster the kitten or to care for her himself. Theodosia wants the kitten to grow up to be fully her tiger-self and not a tiger who thinks she is some sort of strange four-legged humanoid.

Since Theodosia does not speak animal and does not wish to have any sort of hold over the kitten, she has not presumed to name her.


Mia, the tiny black cat, watches Mara swim in the pool in the cottage cellar. Her difficult early days have left their mark on the young tiger but, though she's very small for her species, one of her paws is almost as big as Mia's whole body. The two cats are very fond of each other. Mia has taught Mara a lot about hunting techniques on the occasional mouse that gets into the cottage, though she prefers to stay home when Mara and Ellidy go out wandering.
Mara is, as usual, trying to tease and/or coax Mia to come in the pool with her when Ellidy comes downstairs.
"Wild swim?" the tiger asks.
"All right." Ellidy goes to change into her bathing suit. She meets Mara at the cottage door. Together they go to Tangwystal Cave to swim and play in the dark, cold water of the vast underground lake.
