Begining of the end

"why my child"

"because for me to rise then you must fall"

"no my foolish son by committing this act the forest has abandon you"

"it is you who has been abandoned, the forest has already deemed you a failure you were chosen to protect this forest yet you offered aid to those who would aid the death of our forest and lands"

"no I offered my aid so that we may gain a voice outside I am but the voice if the forest....."

"you speak for no one but yourself, why don't you tell me what the forest wishes to say"

"you seek only comfort for your..."

"Die" a sound directly came to the entity with anger and with great disappointment it was not in words but the meaning was clear.

"no, I only tike the best path for our survival" with great sorrow the voice trembled with sadness

"you did what was right for yourself, I am the new guardian and I will right your wrongs and punish those who turn their backs on the forest."

inside the deep forest called kings forest lays the home of the one of the strongest types of creatures that live inside and outside these lands a dark flame tiger , its ancestor was claimed to have once devoured a sun although many have tried to tame or possess their power its known that only one entity has ever been able to do so having become the ruler of his planet.

within the mouth of the cave that resided at the base of a mountain the very tiger opened its eyes to witness a deer not remotely distinguishable from its peers its antlers stained in blood.

with a body that allows its head to tower a foot above a good sized adult man the tiger walked forward it's dark red fur and black strips that appear to devour light.

"what this, have you come to offer yourself as my meal because no matter your reason the price.."

"silence cub" with a stern voice of a true elder reprimanding a child the deer gave no quarter for the tiger to continue

infuriated that a lowly deer would command him the mighty tiger obviously upset did not act immediately as it was slightly stunned from the action

"I have come to request your aid in helping me cleanse this forest of those that would destroy it and those who have betrayed it, you are but one of the many creatures of the forest that I have come to request a relation with despite your lack of understanding i will help guide you well you help rid this forest of the pest that is humanity and similar beans.

"you request my aid for such trifling things you are but prey for the strong to feast on, tell me what kind of pathetic heard would follow you" with a slight pause the tiger thought of the small deer's plan, "weather humans or others invade I will protect my lands if you pathetic grass eaters can't keep yourself safe then submit and I will let you live a little longer"

"you are a fool", with a voice full of disappointment the deer couldn't help but fear he would lose yet another potential ally, "this place you call your lands is merely a small fraction of this giant forest were many creatures even foreign to these lands seek new homes as their forest similar or even greater have already been hunted clean of any of strength similar to yours and the lands striped bare i only ask that you stand by us to let or lands flourish"

"you dare call me a fool for even i know that the strong rule the weak for that is the rule of nature"

"no that is the rule of the ignorant, nature does not care for any of use but for all things to live together we must have a balance even you a mighty tiger cannot without your powers kill an elephant or charge a horde of buffaloes or even hunt a rabbit without care, tell me o great tiger before you gained your sentience how often were you able to catch your prey once a day or once a week and imagine when all that prey leaves because the lands become bare and they are over hunted what would you have eaten then would you have even lived a month, two or died of either starvation or killed because of weakness."

"enough I have had enough leave know or become my meal" with an angry roar the tiger road, he no longer felt like eating the deer he was more conflicted about knowing that what the deer had said was right and how he had met creatures that he'd never seen before.

"I have not come to banter with you I have come to request your help and I'm well aware that you will never serve nor am I asking you to just stand together with us"

"you wish to lead a horde to assault their settlements why would you come to me unless you lack power to properly lead them"

"i will lead a horde but none as foolish as those of the past we are not bound by our old natures we shall assault them were it hurts the most their food and resources"

"hahahahah you wish to fight like birds who pick at their prey how foolish that you would request me to fight like a coward"

"you call it cowardly yet they kill us in droves with such tactics as for you and others like you I have no intention of you doing so, you haven't the skill needed to do so efficiently but the wiser traitors will figure it out and directly leave their cities to hunt who ever is responsible that is were you and others like you will come in but sadly not all of you are up to par most will have to build their strength well we weaken them, naturally war on so many fronts require patients, planning and full communication between all parties involved"

"so you wish me to prey on those cowards who hide behind their wall claiming themselves my better, now that would be amusing to finally face those who covet my power"

"Now i ask you again will you join us"

With a slight hesitation the tiger didn't answer although he felt to much pride to be lead by the deer standing in front of him but he understood that he could finally kill the basters that hunt his young although he understands that not all would normally survive he knew that his kind his children were purposely being hunted by those of the sentient races for their power.

"I will join your Couse but i will not kneel to you or any other as long as i can have vengeance on those cowards ill will help now leave i wish to sleep further"

"Thank you, i didn't wish to lose another ally such as yourself i will leave an ally allow so to keep communication between us and we will recruit others" with a slight head jester a wolf step into the opening its fur a slight blue and white mix. "these wolves have a technique that allows them to communicated undetected from long distances to each other without others being able to notice it no matter how strong they may be a perk of their race.

"So tell me if i had not decide to join what would you have done then" the question was more of worry then reticule after seeing the wolf as he remembered he didn't sense the deer either when it approach and made note of it after seeing another sneak up on him.

with a slight turn of its head he directed the tigers gaze to his flank were a sudden object was thrown into the ground with a heavy thud. The object was slightly smaller then the tiger but he instantly recognized the creature that was thrown to the ground the so called king of its own land the Sun lion although most believe the lion to be on par with the tiger truth is that tigers are both bigger and stronger and are solitary creatures that survive on their own well a lions will generally have a pride, only when they gain sentience will they eventually separate from a pride meaning they are naturally weaker but this lion was well known to have actually fought the tiger to a stand still.

With a new ally gained several creatures walked out into the clearing beings that moved with such stealth that should have been impossible for them frightening the tiger.

"I told you i will cleanse the forest of those who betrey it"
