Description

Oh god it's Tarzan all over again...well, kinda.

An excerpt from Reshria's early life.

On an average, everyday afternoon, Daylah, a feline hybrid of a Lynx and a Snow Leopard, saw a bright orb course across the sky. The orb cross landed in the forest not too far from her location. She was about to turn and run, but her curiosity pushed her to investigate. She padded cautiously towards the crater and peered inside, seeing a metal ball with a red glass window. She sniffed at this unfamiliar item, her three sons ran past her and slid down to it.

"Boys! Get back here! We don't know what that thing is!" Daylah called to her boys, the triplets circled around it.

"I bet it came from space!" Young Lynal said.

"It probably has something totally gross and disgusting inside!" Chimnao exclaimed

"It'll pop out and gobble us all up!" Tygir laughed.

"It'll eat Lynal first..." Chimnao grinned.

"Yeah! It'll eat you and be picking you out of its teeth in moments!" Tygir added in, the boys laughed.

"Cut it out you guys!" Lynal whined.

The pod suddenly opened, releasing a white mist with a hiss. The three cubs shrieked and hid behind their mother, who came down and stood over the pod as it slowly opened. Inside was a small, infant child with cat ear and a tail, all wrapped up in purple cloth.

"What is it?" Curious Lynal asked.

"It...looks like a human..." Daylah said, ears perked.

"Funny looking human. Look! It has a tail!" Tygir laughed as the baby's tail swished back and forth as it slept.

The infant yawned and opened her big blue eyes, locking gazes with Daylah's blue eyes. The baby blinked and stared. Soon, a smile formed on her face and she squeaked, reaching up with a happy giggle. Daylah stared, her eyelids slowly lowering and a smile forming on her muzzle. She padded forward.

"What are you doing momma?" Lynal asked.

"Are you gonna eat it??" Tygir asked.

"I wanna eat it!" Chimnao exclaimed.

"NONE of us are eating it.....I'm going to keep it." Daylah smiled.

"No way!" The 3 boys exclaimed at once.

"Hush, it's my decision." Daylah picked up the child by the scruff of her clothing, underneath her laid a note.

Daylah stared down at the note, she placed the baby next to her and read it.

"To whoever finds our little Reshria, our planet is under attack by interstellar warriors, we cannot risk our child's safety... Please take good care of her...
Prince Sirillion and Mistress Celerii of Planet Tasba"

Daylah's ears drooped. "The poor child...I doubt she even knows..." Daylah looked to Reshria, who ran her fingers through Daylah's fur, giggling.

Daylah slowly smiled. "Little Reshria...I'll take care of you from now on..."

"Daylah."

Daylah raised her head, looking up to see her Sabor Toothed mate.

"Kerchai..." Daylah sated at him, he looked to the child sitting behind her.

"...you've brought a human here...." Kerchai spoke in a deep voice.

"No...it's not a human...it's not even from Earth. Apparently she was sent her from a planet called Tasba........she doesn't have any place to go." Daylah looked to the side.

"*sigh* ...Daylah-"

"Please Kerchai...I can't let her die out here. ...I want her." Daylah pleeded.

"....Daylah...it could be dangerous, it's from a whole different planet, who knows what it might turn out like..." Kerchai looked to the innocent looking child.

"It'll turn out the way we raise it...she's still young...we can easily adopt her in." Daylah smiled.

"The others will speak badly of you for taking in some strange species." Kerchai sighed.

"I don't care what the others think...she needs me." Daylah stepped forward.

"........are you sure this is what you want?" Kerchai asked.

"Yes." Daylah nodded.

"Then....you may keep it..." Kerchai nodded.

"Oh...thank you Kerchai." Daylah walked forward and nuzzled her mate.

Reshria pushed onto her hands and knees and crawled forward after her new feline parents, a large smile on her face.

"Hehe! Look, she's walking like us momma!" Tygir bounded behind Reshria.

"It'll be difficult to raise this child...she's not our kind...she doesn't know our way of life..." Kerchai said.

"We can teach her stuff! We can teach her how to hunt and pounce and run and speak and everything!" Chimnao growled in excite.

"We'll be good big brothers!" Lynal smiled.

"Here that Reshria? We're a family and you're one of us now!" Tygir crouched in front of her, Reshria mewed and mimicked the orange feline's movements.

The cubs raised their heads and roared out, signaling the official union. Daylah looked to Kerchai with a smile and roared along with them, Kerchai in turn gave his own mighty roar with his feline family. Reshria looked at the roaring cats around her. She stood on all fours and raised her head, giving a high roar along with them.


*sniff* ;-; my last pic of the Summer...school starts tomorrow. What a DRAAAAAG!

Ps: If Tygir looks familiar, it's cause he is. He's the sabor toothed tiger that takes Gohan's hat in the first DBZ episode and the one that follows him around for a short while during his survival training. I wanted that connection to be there for a reason :B
