Fighting Fears

Crap, I have to talk to someone after that...

"Hey Tiger, you there?"

"Yes"

I wonder...

"What do you think of the girl we just met?"

"She was incredibly beautiful"

She was wasn't she, but I can't let my feelings just instant get through to him, block these thoughts brain!

"I see, what about her personality?"

"From what I could tell, she was rather eccentric. However, I think she would be a perfect match for you."

A...A Perfect match? He couldn't really be serious right...!? Ahhh I can't get my mind off her o////o

"W-What!? Don't be silly"

"Haha."

I never knew I could feel like this, what on earth is wrong with me? I feel flushed...

"Hey, kid,"

I stopped walking and stayed silent, tiger's tone went all serious all of a sudden.

"I suggest you be careful around that girl, it's fine to make friends with her, just don't get too close."

I wonder why Tiger suddenly said that.

"Why do you say this?"

The tiger then came closer

"There is something off about that girl, as if she has something great inside her, a power that might even rival my own."

He's just trying to make me stay away from her, isn't he?

"A power that might even rival your own? That's an extremely big statement, especially if you all the great power you obtain is true."

The tiger then raised his voice

"I wouldn't lie to you kid! If something happens to you, I will also be in the same predicament!"

Tiger seems rather worried, I suppose I should trust him a bit more, after all, we are one.

"Very well, I trust you."

The tiger then lay down.

"Thank you, child, once you rest we should get back to training. I fear that we may need to face something much stronger than Do-yun in the future, much stronger than even the colossals."

Impossible! How could such an innocent girl, hold such a murderous power?

"Stronger than the colossals? One of the strongest beings in the mortal, worldly, earthly realm? I think I may have misheard."

"It is exactly as you have heard! I am afraid, this may be true."

What is this? What on earth did that girl have inside of her? Even Tiger is worried about her!

"For now, I suggest you go home, take a shower, and rest up, we have a long day of training ahead!"

I guess I shouldn't dwell on it for now

"Understood!"

I then do exactly as Tiger had told me; I walked home in streets darker than the ones I initially came in, these streets were much harsher as well. I showered in the cold water. I even ate cold pizza and drank cold water from the fridge. I then went to a cold bed with ice sheets.

It was if my life was being ruled by fear.

The storm at night got stronger and stronger. The thunder roared louder and louder. The rain poured harder and harder. Until I then fell asleep.

"BOY!"

I opened my eyes the moment I heard that voice.

In front of me, I see a great black tiger with red stripes.

It then roared, showing its red teeth and saliva of crimson red.

I then hear a roar behind me, it was White Tiger!

"What's going on?"

I only ask him, because I am lost, he and I are one, he is my light.

The great white tiger then looked anxious and turned towards me

"This is a test of courage."

A test of courage, with that demonic entity? HA! I seriously hope this is some sort of joke.

"A test of courage?"

The great tiger then looked down towards me

"Do you know what the tiger is known for?"

Tigers? I know they are known for their strength, but is that really all? Let's see what he has to say

"No, what are they known for?"

The great white tiger then roared

"They are known for their strength and fierceness, we are named the king of all beasts. You are my new host, so they wish to test you. Fight them with all your might and we may just survive, defeat them, and we'll gain the true title of "True King of Beasts, Chan Ming". Do not worry, remember my strength, remember who I have killed and consumed. He will not go easy on you, remember to have the incentive to kill."

The incentive to kill?

It truly is, kill or be killed, isn't it?

Crap, I guess I have no choice!

"Understood!"
