Chapter 2

Tarja and Chiron

Tarja's educations were over in the meantime and it decided to stop a visit with the village magician. They were powerfully eccentric but what already could one expect from an ocelot. She so said goodbye to her's friends and made itself on the way. She was again and again fascinating to watch the magician for her as he touched herb mixtures, brewed little water and mumbled incomprehensible sayings. And only the many smells. It smelled of all sorts of things, some smells seemed known to her and familiar, however, which was not possible.

Cyron and his hunt friends had arrived in the village by then and stopped off in the tavern located at the village square. It was very much empty four guests seen with pleasure therefore. "Hello, what I may possess you?", he's welcomed Shiva and bit Pathenon gently into the left ear. "Na, my sweet little wild tomcat!"

And radiantly white teeth was an enchanting jaguar female with solid legs, you this showed to by exercised upper arms, a cute tummy, that she was a fantastic cook.

Hadron grinned broadly, Hylas had to giggle and Cyron closed the eyes while Pathenon seemed to blush. One fortunately did not see it through the thick fur, merely the tip of the nose seemed to change its color. You ordered yourself mead and continued its dispute. "There is not any dragons", started with Cyron once more, "and Hadron says itself that one cannot marry hyenas even if this verdict dates from the times of our ancestors and probably is overtaken already." "However, this does not exclude her existence and the hyenas...", Hylas wanted to execute but Hadron interrupted him "... but the scavengers are implausibly and in addition one shall think what of creatures who send their females on the hunt because the males are too cowardly for this..." "... what really is loose and happens so there already knows and whom", Hylas completed his interrupted thought loudly. "In addition, it would be nice of you not always to interrupt me. Except for it you manage again and again to maneuver us into situations which we must iron out." The maned one snorted briefly but nodded understanding. Pathenon sat there, listened, twitched with the shoulders and drew your attention to the fact that they have themselves noticed that seemed to develop into her detriment a little. "The spoils get scarce and where no-one knows them disappears." Agreeing murmuring of the ones involved, even of the lion.

Tarja knocked at the door of the hut. No answer came. She did not knock any answer, again once more. She opened the door and peeked carefully in. "May I come in?" No answer. "Hello? Somebody at home?" "Miaows? Oh, you are it means little boys. However, you were already long no longer here. Come purely and let you look", the ocelot said and came climbed down by one of its innumerable cupboards. He, however, did not do this particularly skillfully and caused a smaller bloodbath among five books which spontaneously decided to follow the laws of the gravity together with it. They hit the wooden floor under hanging on loudly. "Oh, condemns. What a mix-up." He sighed briefly, left the books to himself and turned to Tarja. The tiger girl entered and built up in front of him. The ocelot looked at them thoroughly. "You are got great and seductively beautiful. Hach - and I would be tiger if, then, younger but we leave this kinder." Tarja got embarrassed. Your mother seemed to be right what her effect on tomcats tackled. "What does lead you then to me?" "I am here because I have questions. Um, yes therefore." "Questions? Everyone only always comes to me when they have questions. No-one is interested in me. Everyone only wants to know what I do here. Nobody wants something of my body or my soul. I am not a living being but a piece of wood apparent." Tarja would look at the ocelot taken aback. This one shook only the head and seemed to reflect. "Okly excuses, please. Sometimes I forget how old I am. The solitude makes me a little strange occasionally." The tiger girl looked at him sadly and felt the longing in her words. "Then let hear what you have on the heart", he invited she. Tarja took deeply deep breath. "Why my parents give way to my questions from or only insufficient answers give?" The ocelot stared at them the even looks for a brain, composed itself, however, again like a zombie. "Yes, this is no question. And you mean I can give you an answer on this?" "Yes, I had hoped so at least." "Love thinks all of us hope for something. What had you asked it, then?" "I wanted to know why I do not have any sister and have asked for tomcats also." "Oh. Like this therefore, but also. Sometimes one is lucky and himself the questions are answered or hopes fulfill. Sometimes it is left at it, however, too and one is looking in vain after something which is never fulfilled for its whole life because there is nothing corresponding. Sometimes one chases dreams down and forgets that there are more important things. Sometimes one forgets himself even himself in room and time." The features were derailed and Tarja it got a little surly. "Is this approximately the answer to my question?" "Yes, this is an answer. Make the best from this. I have already told you more than I may. I still point out your attention to one. More than one often tells sees behind the facade." Tarja was completely confused now. "Asks your parents to Sitara." "After whom?" "To Sitara. I cannot tell more. I fear..."

The door was opening at that moment and a young tiger tomcat entered the hut. The ocelot winced as if he had been met by the lightning. The tiger approached the two, greeted Tarja friendly and indicated the magician to follow it to the back area of the accommodation. Both came out after twenty minutes and a babble of voices again and the ocelot indicated Tarja and then the tiger tomcat. "May I introduce you? Tarja, this is Chiron. Chiron, this is Tarja." How it excessively emphasized and so depressed expressed the name of the girl as if it prefers to sell a special good under the bazaar department store table. Chiron looked at it with big shining eyes, took her right hand and felt her self-consciousness. "You have a wonderful name and it is still played things down that you are beautiful. You must have arisen a dream." Tarja's heart began to beat to put faster and it got noticeably warmer. "However, you are also a very imposing appearance." She squinted the eyes. 'Rush about for girls quite terrifically. It still more silly probably really does not work she thought.' But Chiron only smiled. "Chiron lives at the border to the jungle and I have not seen it ten years since more any more", the ocelot completed joyfully and the situation relaxed something. "Tarja! I may Hargot by the way introduce my old friend to you", said to Chiron. Tarja turns round suddenly and looked behind itself. There was nobody. "Who is Hargot?" "Moment. Has Hargot never betrayed its name approximately?" Tarja shook the head. "Hargot, how you only could forget this?" "No-one anyway is interested it anyway. Everyone comes only with any confused questions." Chiron sighed and drew a face as if it had bitten peeved at something very much. "Chiron does me a favor. You take Tarja her's question and answers. I have for me, I am afraid of, take care of my mouth burned. Nothing cannot live happen to you, here, they most bily scalp an outsider but me afterward." "What shall damned this?", Tarja rumbled. "Tarja! Do we not want anything to the fresh air and go for a walk and talk?" She nodded but had a rotten feeling simultaneously. Something was not correct and it seemed somehow known to it to this Chiron. You stepped in front of the hut and Chiron indicated that Tarja shall accompany it on a walk to the riverbank. Tarja consented, it endeavored to take light to the darkness finally anyway. In addition, it moved a little magically to it.

"Young young lady, you try too fast to find too much out. You ask the correct questions but the time is chosen rather badly." "What does have to be asked to this wrongly? To knowledge, what is worse than to ignorance? Why is it a wrong time and when would be the right primarily, then?" Her last words sounded sarcastic. "Exactly this is it what I mean. You are very young and too impulsive. You talk very often before you think and this is not good. You could know everything, however, would be able to begin nothing." "Aha! And you can judge this, or what? Tarja ran into him sharply." "Yes. I already think." "You do not know me anyway at all." "Over you, I know more than you think more than you white-washes perhaps over you yourself." Tarja looked at him penetrating. "You are really who? I think with that that you appear at our herb mixer which is banged by apparently definitely and only answers in puzzles and this takes me at the hand, here lead only to tell me the same nonsense." Tarja was upset and reacted unexpectedly. She suddenly hugged him and pressed him tightly at herself. "You seem so familiar to me and so known. I have the feeling eternities to know you. I know that I see you today for the first time." Chiron smiled kindly and also held them tight. "If I would give you an answer to it, you would not understand certainly and not believe so it at all." He came loose of it, took them at his hand again and looked over the water of the river on the other bank side. "You are beautiful and intelligent and I do not want to risk losing you." She could not hear it, he completed and so quietly, that: "Not once again."

"Chiron! Who am I really and what am I? Why am I so important for you?" "You will learn it if the time is ripe for it." She looked at him from great gentle but fiery eyes. Chiron's eyes met her look. This time, finally it drew them to itself, hugged and kissed them. Tarja wanted to reject it first, it then let happen, however, because she felt a change in herself. She felt at it into safety and safe and something else, the need to hold it tight and never to let off again, still was there. Had neck fallen in love with it over head and you enjoyed it even if this change so suddenly came. He sat down to the bank and indicated the free place on his right side. Chiron sat with her's and they hand-in-hand watched the activities of the sun in her run in the sky. "Why everyone only agrees on vague hints give way to my questions, from or answer in puzzles?" Chiron sighed, whether Tarja's obstinacy. Everybody has his determination in the life, also you. It would not be good for you and your further development if one would reveal things certain you. You must find same and trade independently your way. What comes toward you, you would not make any mistakes since you can avoid it deliberately if you would always know in advance. But faults are part of the life. You also must make mistakes because they are included and you learn through them and develop. Goals are accomplished only on detours often." Tarja nodded, because he understood it on what out wanted to get out. Chiron continued: "Imagine as what one leads here there would be a life after the death and one would know one day that this life is fundamentally better. What you believe this one to come as many Chafra and Chafre would kill themselves voluntarily around as fast as possible in the pleasure. It is better often when one does not already know certain things in the front-end. To solve a task, one must find the right way to then get the result. If, however, one already knows the result before, one possibly makes no more thoughts to himself over the way, he must be only briefly. However, encourages this to go the wrong way to this and the result can distort or wreck even completely this at the end." It was right, this had to admit himself to Tarja. She was glad that it was her and she cuddled up in its fur and started to do its right flank the crawl. Chiron purred quietly and enjoyed it obviously. Tarja felt a flame flare up in its innermost part. Your first estrus preceded heralded with power. And this feeling of physical greed forced its way to the surface, captivated it completely at this moment. She noticed it with every fiber that this one it is right things, its mother had hours said just like it only ahead of some. Tarja had made an evolutionary step, amazing faster than expected and virtually forwards. The tiger girl who at first had sat besides Chiron did not exist any more. A fully-grown tiger which could fight against the cosy excitement only with difficulty was sitting next to him now. Did it want to defend itself at all? It still petted Chiron the flank. It purred more and more intensely and shook at the whole body. However, she also established events at itself. Your chests got, noticeably warmer tighter their leg inside and more severely longed for touch and still more warmth heat. Chiron of course was not blind, reacted for his part correspondingly, rumbled very quietly but full of relish open. Suddenly Tarja pushed the tomcat into the bank sand and settled on his lap. The following mating act was wildly, unrestrained and already over after few seconds. Chiron had deeply unloaded itself in their inside and she had sunk together exhausted by her ecstatic movements over it. After both had recovered a little and lay besides each other, got conscious to them which had happened. Tarja was no more adolescent child but an adult tiger by the performed act. What still much more heavily weighed but no-one knew at this moment yet Chiron's seed had discovered fertile land in hers lap.

"Tarja, you have me with your tenderness and your physical advantages spoiled but nothing the despite it was a great fault failure. You have only me for reproaching you for nothing, me." "Kind why? It was simply wonderful. Are you apologizing now because it worked so fast because both of us were eager to feel the other one? Or do you apologize because you were my first partner and you have scruples now?" "Yes, all this would have never been allowed to happen. I ought to have prevented it. You would not have been supposed to let yourself in for me at all. I am not good for you." Tarja started to laugh. "Are not you good? You are much better and I thank you for it!" But Chiron's face spoke volumes and meant enthusiasm about the happened anything but. "I will go now better", he finally said. "Want you to leave me now?" "Better, yes, it is, I think so." The tiger looked at him sadly and sighed. "If you think that it is so better, then Hmmm soften this. You will know what right and what are wrong. Also if it is sad that you simply let me sit here now." Chiron breathed deeply deeply, hugged Tarja once again and kissed it full of fervor. "You know where you find me "." "Hu? Where, then?" "Hargot asks, it knows the way. I always am for you there and, if you have difficulties, then do not decorate you and immediately come to myself. I must go now because I am afraid, that otherwise one still sees us here together and this could lea to serious difficulties for you. So it is not about me." Tarja nodded and Chiron made itself on the way.

Chapter 3

Sitara

Tarja watched as Chiron went and got smaller and smaller in the course of its way, until it finally in front of the distant silhouette of the rain forest disappeared. So finally gave up she sat at the riverbank still about another three hours, at first again and again looked up in the hope that her dearest tomcat would return again and stared at the water and the fish which crowded into this. When the evening gushed in, she finally made herself on the way home because her parents would already certainly worry. After twenty minutes footpath she had reached the house and opened the door. Your parents sat at the table, were not alone, however. "Yes, Ah, she is there." Your mother ran contrary to her and was perfect out of the cottage with excitement. "We have already worried", said a leopard foreign to her. Tarja looked at her's parents and then the leopard and the leopard tomcat sitting at the table also and smiling friendly. "What is here the matter, then and who is this?",the tigress asked. "I may you introduce your stepsister to Sitara and her husband Finlay." Your facial expression had screamingly funny to have worked after that because Sitara started to giggle. "Is this Sitara?" Now it was the mother's turn to be astonished. "How you know about her?" "Um, nothing. Nothing at all. I only thought that it seems known to me and I would have met it before. Has me well been mistaken." But too late. Cyron smelled the rat. "Were you with the herb male this afternoon anyway? What has told you the old chatterbox?" "Nothing, actual nothing at all!" "Naaa! Speak the truth!" "He only thought..." "Jaaaaaa?" "I shall ask you for Sitara." The father let audibly the air escape. "I knew it, I knew it all the time, he simply can not hold the flap." "Cyron hold the breath!", Stella cursed, "it was anyway ripely for it the time that she hears it. Also if it is stupid that she had to learn it by a third person."

Cyron calmed down again. Sitara gave Tarja a smile and took it into the arms. Tarja nestled, to it one sucked its smell and a little tear of the joy kept back. "I have always wished a sister and I actually have one now." And she said to her parents turned: "You have to explain what to me and to be more precise insisting!" "Yes, we have this indeed. But where shall I begin? Stella thought it over." Tarja hung on: "At the best at the beginning." "Natural. Cyron and I became acquainted with us, it was seventeen and I was straight fifteen therefore. We got married a year later and tried to be having a baby but it was hopeless. One noticed perhaps it is luck in the game of course that your father produces barren sperm cells and recommended adopting us, a young one and further nevertheless trying it. We decided, had a try in favor of Sitara of course it was further and as Sitara thirteen, opened it with us. The message of my pregnancy was not put by her, however, away as loosely as I hoped for it. She decided to leave us and we could not hold her from it in the field of best will. Well, this was so at that time. And to spare you the pain and the mourning which you would feel if you knew of your unknown and unattainable sister, we have been silent." "Why one only always withholds something like that from children?" "Because they would not understand it until a certain age." Tarja saw she had on the same day anyway that her mother was right a jump in her personality development done, had got more adult. "Stella! May Finlay and I go onto Tarja's rooms? We have each other, I think to talk very much, threw." Sitara spontaneously between this. Stella consented and the three went up the stairs. They made it to themselves comfortably, arrived in the room, and stared at each other. "Well", Sitara started, "I am really pleased to meet you." "I am also pleased." Finlay had taken his first sentence out in Tarja's presence. "I am as well pleased even if it is a little late and the events of the day run me down definitely." "I can imagine this." "I do not think", Tarja replied and grinned mischievously. Sitara and Finlay looked at themselves and Sitara then scrutinized the young tigress thoroughly. "You have really very distinctive attractions for your age, I must this appreciate ungrudgingly." "Look them you at, Finlay. The solid well-formed breasts, the slim stature and the alabaster legs." Finlay only looked and nodded. Although Sitara's look remained enough stick at the left thigh of the young tigress only briefly but long. Tarja thanked it, however, did not get embarrassed and could give only back the compliment because Sitara was not only good but rakes luxuriantly builtly. "It okly is who?", she asked. "Who is who?", Tarja worked innocently. "I mean the tomcat. The ones to whom you have given yourself today?" Tarja was getting embarrassed now anyway. "How you come onto it, then?" "Love thinks, you really can demonstrate nothing to me. Your shining eyes, your smell and at long last the semen dried at your left thigh betray you." Tarja was frightened. Had her parents also approximately noticed it? She went fast into the bathroom, eyed the spots and washed them from the fur. "This is really embarrassing for me", she said when she entered shamefaced her room again. "Oh, squelch. This does not have to be embarrassing for you. Something like that happens in the enthusiasm of the battle sometimes." Finlay rolled the eyes. Well, after all at least a reaction. "I hope you had taken what before." "I should what take, then?" "Want you to tell me approximately that you have yourself mated without protection?" "You mean this oh if. I think my kindest had taken what before." "Oh shit! A tomcat can take nothing, you must do this. Have you taken or made to herbs killing other deposits from seeds before at least Silphium?" Tarja stiffened to the salt column. No, it everything came so unexpectedly and suddenly." "We then have a great problem now. Probably pregnant and this just at the first time are little sister, you. Congratulations!" Tarja did not know whether it should laugh or wail: "And how it is going on now? I mean I shall do that now?" "You must make up your mind. Do you want to have the young one delivered or removed?" "Let remove?" "Yes. Finlay is a doctor, he could do this. You take the last decision, however. Your body and your will is, no-one can make should think your choice over sufficiently. Because there is the risk that you can never have a baby after that again." Tarja really was at thinking it over. Finlay and Sitara observed, noticed she and felt that it fought in his.

"What would be if I want to keep my young one? What would my parents tell? Oh Bastet, means parents. These will fall from all clouds. You may hear it in no case. In addition, I think tightly, that it with me and Chiron", she bit, her tongue, " something serious is or becomes at least and we wanted to have our child." "So Chiron is called the proud tomcat, ah." "Please, tell my parents nothing, these would kill it for this." "I do not believe this but ok. It remains our secret only." "Sitara thanks you!" Tarja was relieved and it rather appeared like a desperate kitten now than as a tiger which carries a pup in itself. Sitara threw in: "watch out, we make the following, we take you along to us into the country. We live on Strongham's edge since Finlay is the doctor there. The dogs trust his skillful cat hands. I have many friends there and I think that they will help us to get your child on the world and to raise it then." The eyes of the young tigress began to shine. "Would you make this real?" "Yes, of course." This topic was cleared rather fast with that and they talked another one hour far about this and this and that one. Sitara told stories, as it of at home away went, by the area pulled, experience gained and finally Finlay met. "There were funny things and also less funny. I had an interesting meeting with a male. I learned very much from him about the way of life and the life attitudes of the Caniden." "However, you did not have sex with him, or what?", Tarja asked, between this. "I had anyway. It was a very intensive experience, however, I do not want to talk about details and this is not so important either. This finally also has persuaded me of it among other things to stay with our own way." Tarja grinned. 'What it well hides?' It knocked at the door and Stella entered. "You do not want to come to eat?" "Oh anyway, natural. Yes, it has already got late much too", Finlay said. Everyone took a seat at the lunch and got stuck into his flesh. Were, Sitara put the cards on the table as her on the eat. "Stella, Cyron!" She started almost solemnly. "I will take Tarja with us." "What?" The bit got stuck in the throat and Cyron a salt column became Stella. "You have heard correctly or I have spoken so indistinctly?" "No, you do not have this. I only thought I just would have interrogated myself." "Why? Do you have a problem with that? She can live with us and tear her last half school year in Strongham down. In case only you would like to put this in the way as an obstacle now." "I do not care at all. You have simply pushed off and disappeared without trace at that time. Seventeen years later, now you simply appear and seem to think that everything shall to allocate and to forget. And you quite at the same time also want to take our daughter away from us." He got up and supported himself at the table edge. "SHE GOES NOWHERE AND ALREADY NOT AT ALL WITH YOU. SHE LEARNS NOTHING CLEVER FROM YOU ANYWAY." "But of you, how? And does not yell at me so that you also change nothing!" "I yell as much as like me want because after all, this here is still my house and she guaranteed learns more useful things here." The situation had got critical and threatened completely to run from the oar. "Both of you have what, taught her, then? She does not know a pregnancy prevented like one yet." Tarja was frightened and wanted to escape best of all. "She also does not need to know this at all!" "Oh no? Look paint it for you more exactly. She has become no more child but an unbelievably attractive tigress. Exactly the right thing for every tomcat. And still since you will not believe me, I tell what to you to this. Your daughter makes herself extremely decorative if she sits at the riverbank and a tiger tomcat which is broken in by her professionally amounts under her."

This was out, past it, end. All this was too much of a good thing and the bomb had burst.

And what was happening now? At first everyone was silent. Tarja looked to the floor and hoped so that a hole in which she can sink would open up under it as fast as possible. Stella looked with eyes and outstanding mouth torn up far to Tarja. Finlay stared at Stella and said nothing like always. Sitara had imploringly turned hers head to Finlay but which nothing came as mentioned already. Cyron had lost the control and extended the claws in the course of the quarrel, however, stood there petrifiedly now and stared Sitara. Everybody therefore stared at everybody apart from Tarja which still looked on the ground and tried as fast as possible to get invisible. The positions slowly but for certain dissolved, to avoid around muscle cramps just on time. First Cyron regained the language. "This is not - your - serious, Sitara." "Oh but. When we arrived at the river, Finlay and I saw a tiger pair. The desire was very strong to feel. It was at least very stimulating." At these words Finlay suddenly had to giggle and reaped a reproachful look of hims partner for this. "Well, other also saw it. The two seemed to have forgotten the surroundings completely and I heard somebody saying that this would be the small Tarja which would be with the tomcat entrance there anyway." Cyron looked sadly to Stella. "We have failed. Everything. If it also has seen other ones, we are the topic of conversation number one in the whole village at the latest tomorrow." Stella nodded and asked, turned to Tarja: "Have you remembered at least to contraception?" Tarja shook the head. Stella suddenly felt bad and she had to rest the head. "We really have Cyron failed. Our daughter is probably pregnant. Any tomcat has stolen her of her innocence. This morning, I still have talked about the fact with her over tomcats and sex. But what it looks I have not belonged correctly and expressed myself wrongly. I thought we still would have time and it would not be so far yet." "Mother. You only have if this one would it be right things said that I would already know." Cyron breathed deeply deeply and asked for his name. Tarja shook the head. "You have devoted yourself to him, had you climbed and do not know his name what?" Sitara mediated: "However, but she knows his name FATHER and the one for a good reason does not want to surrender it this one. It fears that you could do what to it." Cyron swallowed. "Am I really so bad that my own daughter does not dare to tell me the truth? Father I am sorry, a tomcat has stolen me of my innocence and I have got pregnant, if it is so bad, to come to me and say. You could because of me have gone also to your mother. You really finally are not responsible for it." Sitara looked to the blanket and whistled quietly in front of itself to. Cyron seemed confused and Sitara asked what this appearance would have to mean now. Your answer wiped every doubt of the table. "Just now, which part of my sentences Cyron does not have you understood?" "I do not have co-got what why?" "Yes. With knobs on! I said that SHE has sat on the tomcat. Washing and Cleansing Agents Act ..." He clapped his hands over the head. "Oh you tall goddess, she then has been the driving force."

Cyron got uneasy and he sat down next to his wife. Both looked at themselves and took themselves at their hands. "We have failed completely. We have been blind and have not devoted myself to our daughter enough time and not dealt sufficiently with her problems. She has got adult and we have not seen it. She has got in heat and we have not noticed it. She has mated herself and we hear it of other ones. She has got pregnant and we look like old." Stella okly set: Sso you want to take her along. And then? What becomes pups with her and this in their belly?" Sitara answered: "Finlay is a doctor in Strongham, we therefore have there many acquaintances and also many good friends. These will take care of Tarja's situation and help it." Cyron looked at hims wife and Stella her. Both saw to Sitara and suppressed the eyelids down briefly. "Good. Tarja, you can pack your things tomorrow early", Sitara said. "You have what it is against this already too late for the way back to Strongham, if, tonight, we still stay with you." Stella replied and tried to force a smile, however, in which she did not succeed particularly well. "No, natural not." Finlay went to the door to snatch fresh air and get a clear mind. He looked up to the heaven and looked at the stars. Did not last for it for five minutes, the door opened once more and braked Cyron next to him there. "A marvelously clear night today, right?", Cyron started. "And the air is very pleasantly and contains the smell of a clean river water yes. This is not the case in Strongham." "Tarja will miss the air the village and perhaps also us, the surroundings, hers friends." "I like to believe this, however, think that there is back no more way. We had talked with her when we were above and we noticed there that it is probably pregnant. She has not made it easy for itself with hers decision. We had let the choice for her. We have pointed out the abortion to it and on the risks. After that she had made its choice." "Always decide both of you so democratically?" "Yes, it works with us only in such a way, all other things would not accept Sitara." "If that is one right predatory big cat." "This is she, oh yes. It can be prudish damned and know-all." "We had not trained she actually so", Cyron sighed. "I also believe this to you, but this one had this one made it to experiences after it had moved with you, have stamped it decisively and hers changes personality lastingly. The one who was is not not the one whom you knew you any more any more. It is the one whom I have learned to know and to love." Cyron looked at Finlay sadly. "It has got so cold and brittle." "No, this is not she. This role only plays she. She is loving and very soft in hers inside." "Must it have experienced merely everything to be that way now what? Do you know anything, has she talked about it?" "Yes. I have virtually fished her from the gutter. After she had set out, she lost the orientation fast, at first wandered and was easy spoils for other cats and species. Somehow had made her life to get itself at which of scanty remains which she found away. Come completely she arrived in Strongham after months. At that time, I had started to build my practice there. At first I did not notice, you it made a big bend around most inhabitants anyway and did further not stand out. A hyena took it home and gave it a home and something to eat. It fell in love with a male and took them away from him later than companion. He cared about Sitara actually quite touchingly, did not cope with its moodiness, however, particularly if it was in heat. After approximately a year he finally gave up and let it go or said, he threw she out of his house. There front door was it at the roadside, in front of his, it was winter and it was supercooled. I just had knocked off, dropped in there, saw her lying there and took her along to myself. I entered her food, one roof everything over the head and also otherwise what they needed. At first she was very restrained and locked. After four months she began to thaw and we held many and intensive conversations. She began to study many books primarily means medicine books and asked also many questions. Your spirit revived increasingly. The night of the decision then came. I lay in my bed and slept when it stood, sat down and crept under the blanket suddenly in front of me. We cuddled up to each other and caressed us. Which we gave each other, the caress got more intense and still more intimate. I finally took them as tenderly as me could. After the act we fell asleep together and in the next morning I asked them whether she wants to stay with me for ever. You adopted we on and a month later were immediately married." Cyron looked in consternation to the ground. This was a shocking story. "Have you young ones?" "No, Sitara is barren." Cyron was so sad that it fought back the tears. "Why it only simply had to go away? All this would have remained saved to it. On the other hand it is perhaps also good that she went. After all, she has found a leopard as fine and nice as you at the end." Cyron gave Finlay a smile kindly and the features brightened and a smile also darted over its face. "You are better than everything have her which we would been able to offer." The two hugged themselves and beat each other on the shoulders. Finlay said: "By the way, our society seems a really grave problem to get." "How you mean this?" "I kick off on your temporary barrenness with that. The problem does not concern only you. In Strongham more and more males complain and symptoms are like females via these. Whole families die out because no young adapts. I am, afraid that we on a catastrophe heading." Cyron breathed deeply deeply. "We have lacked this now just, too."

You entered the house together and Stella awaited them. She still sat at the table. Tarja and Sitara already had gone a stick more highly and already slept. The two tomcats sat down at the table. "We let us and on everyone drink welfare, open a bottle of mead", Cyron said solemnly. Finlay nodded agreeing and Stella looked confused again. "What does have happened outside there? Do you have what made a two philanderer?" "We have only declared and reconciled ourselves nothing of importance", Finlay replied." Stella was obviously pleased about this turn. "Bastet is gratitude. It nothing could have made me sadder in that we would let our daughter go into conflict." "We can anyway change nothing more at the condition. Happened has happened. Be said to limit the damage and to make the best from this now." You drank with the first glass. When they went to bed, it was emptied until the departure and three mead bottles for four hours.

Chapter 4

Groodarn

The morning dawned up and announced a new day. Sitara and Tarja were the first ones which got awake. Sitara smiled enjoyably in Tarja's direction and the young tiger looked at Sitara from strained eyes. "Why you have told it to my parents?" "You come to us therefore the result is correct. Do not break yourself the pretty head over things which play no more role." "Oh but. This plays a role. I claim to have cleared this here and now. After all, you have abused my confidence. You had not promised me to tell it. Except for it; have you really seen us, then? My question is how superfluous because you have described so in detail that you cannot have sucked for you from the fingers." "Exact. And to weaken your reproaches, I tell you the following. I also know our father and I know him as an adoptive daughter and from a time before you were born. He was always narrow-minded and obstinate. It was the only chance to convince him of our plan." Tarja took deep breath deeply and forced a smile. "You have right. I think you would have never got away me here if you had not shocked him so." "You see. So you understand it. But you comfort. Usually this is not my way, do I not do never break for promises and also abuse the confidence of other. This had happened really only out of the need of the situation." Tarja accepted Sitara's statement and accepted it as an excuse. The two got up and shared the bath for the morning personal hygiene. While Tarja brushed hers teeth and paid special attention to his canine teeth, Sitara softened itself to this take a shower. "Sitara", the tigress suddenly thought, "you have experienced what actually with the male of which you have told stories but have left it at hints?" Sitara springed up after the jet of water of the shower and thought obviously what it should answer. "Am honest, I am no more child." "You know, hmmm this is not that easy at all to explain, I, however, want to try it. Yesterday, I already told you that a canine male is built differently than a tomcat." Tarja nodded agreeing and the leopardess could not keep back a grin. "After I went away from here at that time, well I wandered for a while and was taken by a wolf at long last. He gave me a home and enough food. Just it wanted to mate with me sometime, though, too and since of course I also have this drive in myself, it happened. At first it was a very pleasant and tender experience. We tried out many things and had fun. We forgot fast our special differences and this I got for the disaster one day. It went through and unfortunately went wrong with us. I had extreme pains and defended myself. I scratched the face for him and he did not touch me any more. However, the pains did not stop, they got weaker, however, were always present. He got too many sometime and he simply put me in front of the door. Caniden are very drive controlled. One can have a lot of fun with them but it has its price. And since this moment, although they have not been my friends but more either. And only I can against beginning with a canine male warn you, my love, a little. I have paid my price, I have got barren. You can save something like that. Please always think of it!"

Tarja went to Sitara under the shower, it hugged intensely and Sitara wanted to comfort. The leopardess took it into the arms and they were under the warm jets of water together ten minutes so and held each other tight. In the meantime, Finlay stood already in front of the bathroom door and stepped from a hind paw on the other one since it had to go urgently to the toilet. The mead wanted to leave his body with power. He knocked at the door. "He is no matter to me who is there in it and what it also does." He shall: "Hurry because others must in the bath, too." Tarja slipped from under the shower, dried its fur quickly and left the room while Sitara still was remaining under the caressing jets of water. Finlay entered and obtained the longed-for relief. Sitara emerged from under the shower there. Your fur was wet and smelled seductive. It went back again and lured him with its forefinger. Water plowed his fur he could not be asked for a long time and the warm goes and stands to her. The jets of water met his body, the arms, the legs, the abdomen and also his manliness, Hart at which himself Sitara gave kneeling no end of trouble in front of it. Finlay stood not bear it for a long time and exploded under a loud outcry. The tomcat smiled contentedly, took her at the head and drew it to itself highly. He said hungrily: "On to the second round." He put the arms, pulled himself it and his embraced waist with hers legs around his neck. Both purred incessantly. The purr always got louder and more intense and changed into a common loud cry at the end when they came to the highlight at the same time. Exhausted, happily and satisfiedly they left the shower, and met Tarja. She had forgotten something in the bath and had entered unnoticedly, had looked at everything and enjoyed the idea obviously. Your eyes were torn up far and their body shook with excitement. Sitara shoved them without further ado under the shower and turned on the cold water. This took Tarja to the consciousness again. "What shall damned this?" It outragedly looked at its stepsister. "You were a little absent what you have seen, and this anyway is not good for you." "You must just say this. In addition, I found this very interesting and instructive." Finlay laughed and said to his companion skillfully: "You see, you are good for her. She has already learned what from you." "You twit stop laughing. Perhaps Cyron is right anyway. She has learned what but does not guarantee the right thing." It was heavy at wondering whether everything really ran really as it straight was and it and its just as lecherous tomcat had to take themselves back infernally so that the young tiger would be not flooded with attractions and would do perhaps further stupid things. Or else ... "You will take your pup to the world only and everything else will let himself be seen", she said fast before its thoughts get real. You dried yourself, Tarja for the second time and went down the stairs. Arrived below they looked around. Neither Cyron nor Stella could be seen. "I then go my things together searching", Tarja said briefly and had disappeared in its room again. "And we will prepare the breakfast now", Finlay stated. Sitara nodded enthusiastically because it had got hungry showers by the substantial. She went to the kitchen cupboard, opened it and inspected its contents. She also found the desired and put plates and cups on the table after short search. Sitara rummaged the refrigerator in the meantime and found water and meat remains. She thought briefly and more in thought. "One cannot dispute any breakfast with that", however and went into the cellar in which one the store room was located also. She opened the door, looked around and was frightened really. "Yes, more almost hangs nothing at all there at Bastet." The hook took you away from one's last meat clods so quite and marched in the direction of the kitchen and dining table again. She met Stella away. Sitara welcomed the tigress: "Good morning, mother." Oh also you unite: "Good morning. How I see you are already awake. Cyron still sleeps, the mead seems to have affected on it quite." "I am afraid not only the mead." "You mean what with that?" "Were you in the store cupboard lately before?" Stella thought it over briefly and said no. "I was there below the last time weeks ago. Since then, my tomcat has always saved me this journey. I found this rather funny but have remembered nothing for me." "Then come along. I must show what to you namely", Sitara invited her.

Both went down and Stella suspected that something terrible had to have happened. At all events her daughter did not behave normally. "Have a look at it", this finally said and tore up the door. The blow hit Stella. "Yes, this one is empty!" "Yes. I have just the same stood five minutes ago also there. Exactly in this place and has looked just the same as you." "I simply cannot believe this. The chamber was much always filled. Stocks were in it there for months. Only gives here, salt meat now...", the tigress went to one of the wood barrels and opened the lid. "Where I do not like the things and this." It shook itself. "Is not this normal or anyway? I think, as me, with you still lived father was always enormously lucky and the chamber welled over really in front of food. And now?" "What is not correct there and I will find it out. Cyron owes an statement to me. Why he wanted always to fetch alone the meat highly and will also clearly to me now. He wanted to hide all this from me." She shook the head and laid out the ears. "Na waits, my kind. Sitara, you keep yourself out there, a matter is this between me and your father." Sitara nodded agreeing and the tiger had a view of this which only a cat can have. She went two high, Sitara into the kitchen and with that back to Finlay and Stella first in the bath. Before the tigress closed the door behind itself, it still said fast: "Pack the meat into one of the cupboards. I want to take a test."

After twenty minutes the striped tomcat of the house finally then appeared, too and still had the pillow in the face. "I need something now to get correctly lively", he played marbles. "Ah, good morning!", these told both leopards, at the same time. The good morning greeting of Cyron came only as an incomprehensible grumping over the lips. "Where my wife is actually to?" One of the more understandable sentences which he gave of himself was. "She one still is in the bath", replied Finlay. "Aha, everything clear." Suddenly Stella stood behind her husband and typed for him gently but cons shoulder certainly on this one. He turned round and looked her into the eyes. It gave him a smile good-naturedly and kissed him devotedly. "So, my kind one. Also of the dead bodies rose from the dead?" He suppressed the eye songs. "Hmhm." "Fine. This pleases me. Then you go in the bath now and we in the meantime finish the breakfast. I will go and fetch meat highly into the cellar just."

This was the keyword! Few minutes ago one still saw a completely sleepy tiger tomcat toddling into the kitchen, which mumbled something seemed, however, to be completely lively now that he would need to get lively, replaced like of magic hand and in sheer excitement.

"No. Stella, kindest! You do not need down there. I do this for you. This is tomcat work and far too heavy for you." He grinned at her broadly and looked to his stepdaughter. Neither Sitara nor her husband Finlay, but the grin could return. He trimmed and turned his head slowly to Stella. This one looked at it without pulling a face out of shape and established this look again. "If looks could kill, then you would already lie on the ground, my friend, now!" Cyron felt that a gigantic thundercloud floated over hers head. "Condemns! Let me guess. You wanted to prepare the breakfast and were already in the store cupboard." "Exact! What I had to see there, and this this one has driven tears into the eyes and brought the language for me." "How I notice now this, however, has not stopped for a long time." Stella sparkled him. "Leaves these stupid sayings!" He got obviously a couple of centimeters smaller. "You have what imagined? Do you think approximately I would have never noticed it?" "Had I for it hoped so and before it would have been too late, would I have filled the chamber again." "And you think it simply would have gone past at me so oh yes?" Cyron nodded eagerly. "Au Man. You are really incorrigible." She could shake only the head. Cyron toddled up the stairs and disappeared in the bath. He just had closed the door behind itself, another was opened and Tarja came down the stairs and had its things there. "Moment means little boys. You do not leave the house so fast. First you have breakfast." A Stella's bad mood could not be seen clearly. Tarja put the things down and joined his stepsister who kindly gave them a smile. "What was actually the matter, then? What has anybody committed?", she asked into the room. "Why?", Sitara asked. "I have heard the voice of my mother and this one was more than only strict." "Yes, expensive thinks. I had a smaller dispute with your father. And this one is not finished yet", Stella growled. "Oh! What was it about, then?" "This does not need to be been interested by you, this is a thing between it and me and we must live with that and come clearly." "Huch. Have you got pregnant approximately again?" Stella would look at her daughter crookedly. "What does ask?" Tarja twitched apologetically with the shoulders. "Had been able to be." "How you come onto the crooked path, then?" "I only thought. I had last night heard a groan from your bedroom." "I was this. I have moaned merely because your father preferred to clear half the rain forest again." Why Sitara giggled silly and Finlay would be banged almost with the head on the table, also always. Sitara got up, the trap put successfully fetched, improve the meat said from the cupboard and it put on the table. Short time later Cyron appeared from the bath and sat down at the table. "Grasps it now so as if never there was", and bit himself on his tongue. "This was on much besides that, him now you guy, you", were Stella on. He got a little smaller once again. "Yes, you are right", my wife. Se further, however, did not want to calm down the tiger so properly and drilled it: "You plan what beautiful now, then? How do you want to fill the missing food inventory out in such short time, then?" Tarja was frightened and interfered: "Have you to eat nothing more?" "My child but. We still have something to bite. One would not like this his worst enemy but every day only salt meat expects." "We had much pitch on the hunt in the last time. The hyenas then came between. Hadron always freaks out it came, if it sees hyenas, to the quarrel and we went out emptily. We have gone out of shape into the tavern and drunk mead instead." Stella fell from all clouds. "Yes, na, this is delightful." "White, this are me dung more greatly everything. At all events such strange things arrived lately." "What you mean with that and come merely not finish speaking me with any cheap ones now. It is very well known to me that your friend is Hadron of yesterday and permanently overwhelms himself with the hyenas. Being able to something new one be collapsed." "Yes, I just try this." "How thinks?" "You know. Therefore. Yes.. uhm you will not believe it, I would not believe it myself if I had not taken part. A shadow three hyenas came run from the forests smoothly anyway and claimed it had been pursuing yesterday. One thought a dragon would have been. Stupid things, was not? Of course we did not believe her. But we noticed something else. A considerably audible buzzing tone at the air which partly reminded of a grumbling highly lay short time before." Although the two leopards saw themselves only briefly but significantly in the eyes. "Perhaps a malfunction in one of the nearby power stations?", Finlay asked, between this. "No. The sound was quite different and very strange. Almost like not of this world." "I become, huhu, afraid. Now the alien cat eaters come and fetch all of us", Sitara noticed skillfully to Tarja. "If a rubbish", it slipped Stella out. After everyone had calmed down again, Cyron continued: "This listens to everything very funnily, however, it is not. The thing is serious, very serious even. The wild will always less, we have to extend our shoots and if I say extend, I then mean this, too. I do not only talk one couple of one hundred meters of, but of thousand and more thousand square meters here. In turn this means that I am away under circumstances with the others several days before I come home again." Stella slipped in herself together. "Tarja goes out of the house and I sit all alone here and wait that you turn home sometime. Always with the worry that you have an accident and not come again or are home carried at all." Cyron sighed and nodded. Stella sobbed briefly and got glassy eyes. She said, turned to the others: "How I see have you already eaten your meat. This pleases me." And to Cyron turned round: "How it shall go on and, now?" "Market day is in Han-Dun today. I thought I simply take you along. I have nothing to sell but we shop together and perhaps even find out away what happens to our spoils animals." Stella stopped short briefly and seemed to think it over, her face then brightened up noticeably. "Would you do this?" "Yes!" "I find this a terrific idea. I accept the offer." The thing was carved with that and a goodwill stood out on all faces. The two leopards cracked of the table and went to pack their things. "How you have come here actually? On foot or with a waggon?", Cyron afterwards called. "A friend of mine has dropped us here. We have fixed a time with him when he shall pick us up here again", Finlay called by the house. "Okly then do this that way", said Cyron. He was glad that the whole thing had run so, could have come indeed still worse and he usually always goes with his friends to the market and he had to teach them only gently now that takes his female along. Well, it will already notice them if he thought, on the whole it is, one finally can not see her clearly. Finlay and Sitara came down the stairs with packed bags after short time. "Also have you forgotten nothing? Finlay, I talk with you!" "What? No. I have wrapped everything up. Were you in the bath once again and have wrapped up the toothbrushes and cups?" "I have." "Well, we are then ready." Stella was a little nervous. "Moment still. Do you still have a little time?" Finlay looked at its watch and nodded. "My friend comes approximately an hour past and waits a little outside the village." "Ok. We hurry and come with you. We then say goodbye on the spot. Why does your friend not come directly to in front of the door, then?" However, Finlay shuffled a little finally answered: "We and primarily also he think that it is that way better we really do not want to frighten everybodies unnecessarily." "Why? Who is your friend, then? No little green male or perhaps a dragon decides." Stella amused the idea that a dragon in front of her front door would suddenly land and would be curious about Cyron's face really too much. Finlay looked penetrating it and Stella felt that it was on a promising track. She looked at him and her eyes got bigger and bigger. "This would be a thing and Cyron finally would be convinced. You know he does not believe in dragons and this would be very healingly for him." The thought amused it more and more. "He would not have any land square merely on the village square in front of your front door." "It then shall land on the village square", Stella decided. "How you wish. It will find us there." Cyron got in the first floor, however, had not got the conversation. "We have our things also together so", he said solemnly, "we take you to your friend still and say goodbye then on the spot." "Rushes about. Mother had the same idea and another surprise expects you", it burst out of Tarja. Cyron was astonished. "A surprise? Wow. What have I earned this one with, then?" "Nevertheless you have this one not earned but you get this one", told Stella. "It is what, then?" "If I betray this to you now, then it is no more surprise." Cyron growled: "I do not like surprises, which one must wait and which one is surprised." "Oh but. You will like the surprise and still lasting for days of swarm." "Now good. We then go to the village square", Finlay announced. All of you went out and Stella closed the door behind them. They met all sorts of friends and acquaintances on the way to the place. Wished a good day the ones said hello friendly and then followed their occupations again and others stood together again, backs then said hello and whispered behind hers. It sufficed Cyron sometime and he stepped to two gossiping cheetah females: "Have you any problem?" The two shrank back and said no. "Good so. Tarja is my daughter and I am proud of her and yes, she had sex because after all, she does not want to end dried out and oddly at the end just like you." He was ready with that and followed the other fours again. Tarja was extremely proud of her father at this moment and loved it about everything. She seemed to shine over all cheeks. Arrived on the place they put their bags down and Cyron separated itself from everyone briefly to drum its friends together. After fifteen minutes it came back and was alone. "The others do not feel like coming along and Hylas already seems to be on the market." "Then we go alone", Stella consoled her husband. This one gave her a smile and was happy obviously. He hid out of sense of tact that the others did not want because he took his female along but he could demonstrate nothing to Stella. This anyway already knew or this one she suspected at least and she only did not let herself be said. Finlay suddenly addressed hims word to all cats which stood on the village square or prepared to cross it. "Means a dear flatmate! I might apologize a moment for your attention. I would want that you leave the village square now since we soon expect somebody and this one then needs Square here. However, you do not need to be afraid of him, he is a very good friend of mine and really harms nobody." Cyron swallowed. Spoken, "Finlay well. But whom wait you expect?" "Our transportation possibility." "And this one needs whole Square here?" "Pant, he needs."

Everyone had in the meantime and under an unbelieving murmuring vacated the village square, looked around and was tense what would happen now. Came well known like on command one heard suddenly a soft buzzing sound starting up to the Cyron in front of. "I anyway know the sound. This is exactly the noise which we have listened yesterday." At his last words he stopped short. "Moment, you have arrived here yesterday anyway. Can it be that you have to work with this buzzing tone?" We Sitara, "however it", replied and indicated, "not", up. Everyone stared into the sky in which a shadow considerably stood out and got bigger fast. Finlay took something from his bag and turned it towards the shadow briefly. This one suddenly stopped in the air and then shot into his direction suddenly down. Cyron stood there as taken root. "This is what?" "This is the surprise", Stella said beamingly and full of enthusiasm. The shadow took shape and turned out to be a fully-grown dragon. Cyron shouted open "this cannot be", "there is not this one." "There is it anyway and you have one of it there", Finlay called back. Cyron did not want to trust its eyes. This was not right. Dragons are only legends and not real but one came approached and directly toward it there. And it got clear to that it was the shadow which had seen the hyenas and which had put them so into fear him. The other villagers stared also doubtingly. Most knew, no-one no had till now that there are dragons seen yet, seen however, unite. So it was a real premiere for everyone. The dragon was gigantic, orbited the place once again to assess the size and then set for the landing. He had gigantic wings and no fur. The whole skin was covered by a kind of shack tank. Well, he stood in the middle of the place now and looked to Finlay there. This one approached him, welcomed him joyfully and actually gave him a kiss for the welcoming anyway on the nose or at least on the place in which cats have noses. "Is this your friend?" "Yes. This is", it Sitara said full of pride. "Yes, this is a thing. You perhaps can have unusual friends. I believe it Tarja is in its right hands with you and it is guaranteed it happen to nothing." "No worry, we watch them well." Finlay had packed the baggage on the back of the animal by then and seemed to negotiate about something with it. "He plans what?" Cyron asked skillfully to Stella. "This becomes the surprise's second part if it works. It then will not get more, however, too. I think namely that it is then enough for you for today." The leopard looked at Stella and winked at her. Had dragon ended hims conversation with this and Finlay returned to the others. "He okly agrees. It does not mind the small swerve." "What kind of swerve? What do you plan?" "You will see this at once." Finlay prepared, Stella's and Cyrons bags also on the dragon to load. "Probably is not this you serious anyway?" Stella packed her husband at the shoulder. "Oh but. I think this is his firm decision." Sitara went to Finlay and waved to Cyron and Stella, that they shall climb. Tarja already sat when Finlay sat with it and drew the belt at it tightly. "So. So that you do not fell us down." Everyone forwarded it place except for Cyron and after so. This one was undecidedly still lying around. "Be and talk about with him if it calms you", cried down Finlay. The dragon turned the head in the direction of the tiger. "I can help you and calm you with what?", this one asked, with a deep sonorous voice. "How it can be that I shall sit on you now if I have not even believed in your existence an hour ago?" "You also permanently learn. You are older and more adult merely and have created a firm conception of the world for you. This is not wrong, it helps you to survive every day since it connects certain expectations with certain situations. However, you run to use this conception of the world to lock its look and only see things which one wants to see. Open for the unknown and welcome it. You must not hug it and not make your friend either, here start it must only to you, to get on around it you." Cyron finally stood all of ten minutes before the head of the dragon and concept, this one wanted to tell what to it. "You have right. I should move away and let more to myself close finally of my stubborn, narrow-minded prejudices. I have much too often had myself influenced and managed of my habits although I could have done it differently. I think I have taken the first step with my daughter and will make the second step now." The dragon growled kindly. "My friend thanks you. You have opened me the eyes", Cyron completed hers thoughts and dragon gave this a kiss. Stella who had looked at everything was more than amazed. This was not the tiger tomcat any more anyway which she knew. He had changed completely within only few minutes. She shook the head doubtingly and put the ears steeply up. The dragon gave a smile the tiger. Dragons can actually even smile, Cyron noticed and climbed the back. The animal gave a loud cry and spread the wings. Finlay called loudly: "Next stop, Han-Dun market place." Cyron still wanted to reply something, however, did not arrive any more. The dragon rose into the air and disappeared with the fives in the distance. The tigers which were never flown enjoyed the feeling with all senses.

After the dragon had disappeared with hims airline passengers, the villagers solved themselves out of their astonishment. The conversations which arose moved between unbelieving astonishment, enthusiasm and deep respect. Pathenon and Hadron had mixed with the mass and seen everything from a safe distance. You regretted that they had not followed the group and Cyron envied their friend sincerely.

An hour flying time do not paint after, appeared in the area of the field of vision Han-Dun. Cyron embraced hims partner and held she tight between his arms. Both could hardly restrain her enthusiasm. You cheered and squeaked like two little pups in the game. Tarja was enthusiastic, however, held back and simply found his parents only embarrassingly. Finlay had fallen asleep and enjoyed Sitara like always on such journeys, the marvelous view. She typed Finlay on the shoulder. "Huhu wakes up!" He yawned bravely. "Hach, this was relaxing. Where are we, then? Oh, I already see." And to Stella and Cyron turned: "My loves, we are right there so. Being for us already in the approach." "Into what kind of a suit?", Cyron asked. "I said in the approach." "I had interrogated me oh if. Must lie at the wind." "Hold you tight, it works downward now." Cyron whispered in Stella's ear: "You have heard, my kind one, it works with us downward." Himself tried you, could do to it as well as her to turn round. "I go with you everywhere and, if it works downward, then fall with you." You kissed themselves but only short since the dragon passed changing into a dive at this moment. For a short time period they experienced the feeling of the weightlessness and had to fight with that, that the stomach contents do not move up and with that to the open. You accompanied the dive of the dragon with a loud howling after they had laid out the ears first. The dragon this pleased and he braked abruptly, was in the air for a moment so that everyone could sort themselves briefly. However, he only had done this to change again to the dive and mix up the order again at the same moment. "It has such jokes on this and only does this with pleasure", said Finlay. Stella felt bad and she would go very pale around the nose. Just still on time the dragon braked and put a piece outside of Han-Dun soft open. Hers had opened belt, Stella was the first. As stung by the tarantula, dragon shot she down and behind the next bushes of this where it was sick. The sounds which she gave of itself were heartbreaking. Cyron got off and went slowly in the direction of the bushes. Tarja, Finlay and Sitara looked at themselves gottenly. "I have not wanted this", said the dragon. "Of course you do not have wanted this. Perhaps you have exaggerated it only a little. After all, her first flight was", it Finlay replied. "Oh, if I had known this, then had I held back." "Well, nothing for bad. Yes, nothing has happened. They come back look only, again there." Also otherwise Stella had won back her rosy nose color by now again and moved relatively normally. She went on to, the dragon stroked it at the head and gave it a peck. "This really has been a fun", thank you. "You are welcome to repeat this", this one crowed. "Do not paint now so fast", Cyron went between this "both of us to the market and the dragon first go as you mean said at all?" "My name is Groodarn." "Ah! The three must remove Groodarn first. in Strongham." "Do not worry, tiger Cyron. Dragons are smally these distances for us." Cyron the dragon looked crookedly, on his wife then then again on the dragon. "When you could pick up and bring back us here again, then?" "When always wishes to it at the earliest but in four hours." "This is good. Would you finish it, then and pick us up here in five hours?" "Yes. I do not see any problem there." Stella said: "Fine, but only if you promise me not to put such dives down again." "I will take it to heart." "Have fun, something fine amuses you and buys you", told Sitara. She hugged the two and said goodbye. Finlay had fallen back into hims taciturnity and said goodbye correspondingly. At Tarja the farewell turned out longer and was fundamentally heavier. Makes it good. I already love both of you and miss you now. I am proud of you but it is that way better." "Do not worry about the world not, my child, we already can manage and we in addition are." Tarja nodded, however, had to cry nevertheless. Stella wiped you the tears away and she sent to Finlay and Sitara, these on again the had dragon taken a seat. "It was in the middle of not skillful to land Han-Dun", Cyron still said. "This would not have been good either, tiger Cyron. There below it is too full and I want to injure nobody and incur the anger of the population", the answer came from Groodarn. Cyron nodded agreeing, braked back a couple of steps with Stella and waved to the threes while Groodarn rose and got smaller quickly.

"Well, kindest thinks. We are alone now." Stella looked at him from sad eyes. "Really have we done the right thing or expelled approximately our daughter?" "At first glance one could actually get the impression. But consider the following: What could we offer her, the two can not do what, except for our parental love? What can it stubborn heads do learn with both of us? She sees what of the world if it is at the two and what it experiences everything? She has many friends, alone already by Sitara and Finlay there now. If the young one is born, who can help it here already, apart from both of us and primarily, what would have happened if it had stayed, then? Well, it would have finished the school here. She would have lost friends, but the talk behind its back itself with all possible idiots laid out and this would it have worn down perhaps still at the end." "However, you also know that the pup has a father and this one also would have been able to take care." "This tunes but who knows who it is? Cyron pointed out if Tarja did not want to betray its name already." "She did not want to betray it because she was afraid that you do what to it. Forgetting already? So she seems very much to hang at it and it also at her. Otherwise she would not want to protect him so. Probable is it we know somebody, the one to whom we, however, do not have so good contact." "This should already who be? No-one occurs, to me at the moment there it would the become to marry this." "I but he rather is like a spirit already. One knows that there is he and that he lives but one never gets him to face." "You do not think. Anyway?" "I exactly mean this one anyway", breathed Stella. "Chiron?" "Pants." "Oh herrje. I do not have remembered to the any more. But why should it give up its jungle life, meet Tarja and then impregnate the girl of all people, too. So one cannot leave still more traces." Cyron typed itself to the forehead. "No idea. But something is bad there. Perhaps he does not suspect what of his luck yet." "Should we make a visit to him and discover it with the nose?" "Keep you this for a good idea?" "In any case improve but to be silent and to tear the pair apart." "We talk with Groodarn afterward. Perhaps it is not averse to an excursion and we save ourselves the footpath." He winked at his wife. During the conversation both had gone in the direction of Han-Dun and had reached the town boundary. You took yourself at your hand and dived under in the rummaging around of the Chafren.

The two leopards and Tarja had a long but quiet flight behind themselves when the dragon on the edge of the city of Strongham arrived and landed gently. It already had become afternoon and the sun had exceeded the zenith. The heat was almost unbearable and seemed even more pitiless now since during the flight the wind had provided with cooling. You unloaded his baggage and said goodbye to Groodarn. Finlay gave him a kiss like always and Sitara also equaled it. The dragon felt flattered by it and snorted contentedly. Tarja went to it as the last and stroked for it over the head. The dragon looked at it and told: "Young tigress Tarja take the following piece of advice along on the way. Set yours way started no matter away what one brings from the left or the right to you. Fulfill the wishes of the others but always return to the right path. Do not let oneself be put off. You have a golden heart and in the conflict between your intellect and your heart follows the heart. You have done it before and I know that it was right." This time, Tarja did not look uncomprehendingly. The words yielded a sense of them and their Chiron suddenly collapsed. She missed it infinitely and wanted best of all to it, she had not been able to say goodbye to it once. "Groodarn, you can do me a favor?" "Does a young tigress think what because?" "You can, if you have dropped my parents at home, fly and say hello to him from me and tell everything I think what has happened at dear to mine past." "I like to do this, tigress Tarja has young." A stone occurred to it from the heart. She had smoothly forgotten Chiron at all the events, with the whole hurly-burly anyway. How could you only pass this? This was an unpardonable fault. Groodarn spread once its wings again and disappeared with a soft buzzing tone in the clouds. Tarja stared short afterwards it and then turned himself towards her two substitute parents: "So and now?" "We walk the last meters and make a comfortable afternoon to us first now", said Finlay.

The two tigers Stella and Cyron amused themselves in the meantime of Han-Dun on the market. You strolled between the stands to and fro, looked here and there. Cyron bought a new spear for itself, paint a bow and arrows flight optimized for the hunt. These had them, the hunt had to be fair and traditional at all modern things. One had to fight for his spoils, otherwise their flesh afterwards did not taste right. Stella rooted in all sorts of things. She bought jewelry and thin, almost transparent gowns for herself. Now and then, since nakedness was normal one by the way liked to adorn himself with light and pleasant cloths even if they were almost naked, as all others, too. This moreover, it was the last cry and who wanted already lag behind. The tiger was intoxicated by the impressions particularly since it never was here. If it went to the market, then it was in the village once a week and at this there also were only the typical small things which one already knew and rather served it to fill its opened reserves out. But the offers here killed it really. Both could not resist at a fruiterer's from Festan and bought apples, pears, Bislarzels, pale green fruits, taste greatly is a mixture of bromine and raspberry like kiwi, surface like a gooseberry, and another couple of cherries. Although the dealer did not look at the two a little strangely because predatory big cats never bought a little with him but if these wanted it so why. You suited fine already quite fully packed as Cyron backward went and Stella just wanted to say something. He bumped against somebody and this there somebody was more smally than he, one all of piece more smally even and fell into the sand. Cyron turns round frightened and wanted to apologize just, as it gone to the ground this one recognized. He said happily, "Hylas, you lynx so you hang around here." "Where I should be, if not here otherwise, then. You know anyway today is great market today. But where are the others, then?" "These do not have come along. These did not have right desire." "Oh, this is interesting. I have what has happened with you by the way belongs. The one with your daughter and Chiron therefore." "Aha! So Chiron." "Means this approximately that you did not know the name of Tarja's admirer?" Hylas slipped in itself together because it noticed that it had opened its mouth too wide and guaranteed did not come from the number out any more. He looked around confused so as if it looks for an escape route. But Cyron did not seem to frighten this at all. It quite the reverse seemed rather very quiet and open-minded, real as replaced. This confused Hylas still more, though. Cyron suddenly waved to somebody and indicated the one to come to them. He became slackly Hylas in the stomach region. And then Stella stood in front of him. "Both of you already have met", said Cyron. "Stella, expensive thinks. How are you? The lynx asked effusively." "Old slime bolt", the tiger giggled. "Guesses what I just have learned? Cyron said skillfully, to hims wife." "What because?" "Our lynx friend had just opened his mouth too wide, because he thought we would know the name of Tarja's enthusiast." "No, we do not know this one anyway at all. Tarja has hidden it fine neat and tidy." Dark clouds were brewing over Hylas and he wanted to disappear in the crowd. "Not so hasty, my good one. You do not need to be afraid because of this. Now it is anyway out and we know the name." Stella looked at her husband from shiny eyes. "It stated what kind of surprise." "And imagine you were exactly right with your assumption yes." "No!" "But!" "I do not believe this. The guy actually marches from his jungle to our village anyway, meets our daughter and lands the perfect shot there." Hylas started to laugh. "So this has happened. No-one knew it actually went exactly around what." The two tigers looked at themselves and sighed simultaneously. "Have we made the whole excitement for free anyway?", Stella asked. "No, I do not think. It was that way better, it would have come anyway out sometime." Hylas simply had to ask now because it burst {bounced, fell through} with curiosity. "What does have happened actually, then?" "We have given Tarja to his stepsister because it is that way better for it. It has been impregnated of Chiron." Hylas giggled once more. "Yes, this is no thing. Although I always knew that fresh air and many keep greens in the surroundings healthy but that the things also grant the super power..." Cyron mumbled a little in front of itself to. Hylas decided to roam with the two over the market since it also was looking for meat and Stella reminded her husband that both of them have the same aim. After three hours they finally found the sought-after stand, too. He welled over really in front of meat. You bought, what they could carry just and when a Taur dropped in and his offered carrying services, they paid it, it was not expensive and did the food purchases load up into the unbuckled carrier bags. Also Hylas did the same and one still could therefore continue the funny purchase hustle and bustle a little. Stella discovered still artificial hair at a little stand to the weave in. "I must certainly still have this", she said and bought it promptly without also only waiting for an answer. The two tomcats looked at themselves. Cyron rolled the eyes and Hylas twitched with the shoulders. After they had bought now enough and the time had already made progress, too, they decided to go. "We soften each other on the way now that way. We must from the town out to approach our broader transportation possibility. We take you along, if you liked, and drop you at home", Cyron said to Hylas. Hylas was pleased about the offer immensely and took be pleased. You indicated the Taur that they wanted to go. He followed them also goodly from the town and stayed together with them until Cyron suddenly meant that they should stop. He turned Hylas and also the Taur: "Remain quite quiet and do not be afraid, nothing will pass you." "What should happen to us, then?", asked unsafely of the Taur. "We say now so. Our transportation possibility is a little requiring habituation." Like on command a gigantic shadow buzzed toward the group and landed unerringly in front of its paws. "Hello, tigress Stella and tiger Cyron", the dragon greeted them. Hylas and the Taur were deeply impressed. "This is on...", Hylas set. Cyron completed the set "... a dragon." "How you come to it, then? You did not always think that there are no dragons? What is actually the matter you are not good or you are ill, one has exchanged you or the brain manipulates?" Cyron giggled and Stella grinned broadly. "My good not at all. I am well. I only have said goodbye to certain old verdicts." The lynx only whistled. "As I see, I have to promote an airline passenger more, and a lot of goods", noticed Groodarn. "Yes, provided that you are ready for it. In any case it would be very kind from you." "Good. Then packs your purchases tear and take a seat. I then must namely still further." "Oh, you still plan what?", Stella asked. "Yes. I must still visit to a tiger tomcat and give him a message." Loading was taken finished fast thanks to the help of the Taur. The three took a seat, said goodbye still to its kind carrying bar, fastened and the travel already started. The Taur stayed behind, afterwards looked, turned round and swore itself in future at transportation enquiries to be a little more careful of predatory big cats.

Hylas was to and away. It did not have experienced something like that and do not spare an ultraconservative friend Cyron of his at all yet. Cyron thinks the me non-to dragons tiger. Hylas had to shake only with the head inwardly since it did not recognize its long-standing friend indeed any more. The tigers asked hour flying time, a gentle trace approach and a very soft landing after about one the dragon still to service for a moment. You packed on the whole their things could do them together and ran fast step to the village. You said goodbye to Hylas quickly and stacked its things in the kitchen. Then the dragon they ran back in front of the village and turned to: "We have a request to you, Groodarn." "It is you about what, both, then?" It gave them a smile. "Well, so. It is measured perhaps a little. But good. Do you know a Chiron?" The dragon was pretending as it thought it over briefly and the question affirmed. "Fine. This is very good. We would like to find this one namely and talk with him, get to know him." The dragon thought it over again briefly: "This is also my aim. It is namely the tiger for which I shall take a message." "Lets me guess. You shall say hello to it from our daughter?" "Yes. Takes fast your remaining thing into the house. I wait for you." The two tigers could not be said this twice. You packed the last things into the house, closed the door, stormed from the village the dragon got on and were in the air again. Groodarn surpassed itself and broke every speed record apparently. After only thirty minutes flying time they had arrived within reach of their aim. "See, since below." The dragon called the rain forest. Both saw down. A gigantic green mass which seemed to extend their fingers toward them opened up as far as the eye sufficed. "Caution! I change into the dive keep closed about, around up to the touchdown now the time briefly." "Close this", Stella shouted to him. The dragon rushed at the ground in an insanity speed. She suddenly was of Cyron consciously, as delivered actually it was for its flight arts, it pinched the eyes to and laid out the ears. The fall movement found an end, the tigers felt, four times, were heavier than it actually and without a further concussion the dragon touched down directly in front of a little hut abruptly. "Before I forget it", told Groodarn. "I still would like to give you something." It took something, here, it is the same device with hims lips from one of its carrier bags which Finlay has. "It sends on another frequency merely. We know not exactly like it works and where it comes here merely that there is a receiver, I carry this one and more transmitter. You have ones of this, three are in my mountain cave and Finlay has one as mentioned. I give them to only really good friends. And you are which ones." Cyron accepted the device almost reverently. "Where you have this here?" As said: "There is no more exact information. This equipment lay scattered in the mountains. The form and the appearance are so strange, seem so extremely technical and cold as if it were not arisen from our hands and intended not also for us." The dragon snorted briefly and turned the head in the direction of the jungle. "Yes, Na, this is no surprise. I would never have thought that somebody visits me here and do not spare by air express at all."
