Chapter 1 Pumyra a prisoner to a slave
Pumyra was a talented warrior and medic. She often talked to the other medics in town. One of her friends name Castra was going on about her new boyfriend. "That's nice," said Malos another one of her friends.
"You know it's hard to find a boyfriend or mate of a same or different kind of cat and one you could love." Pumyra said.
A cat came up to the medics. "Are any of you medics? My little cub got a rash after touching strange plant." the cat said.
"All of us are healers," Malos said.
"I'll go with you, let's take a look at the cub." Pumyra said.
Once she came to the cats house she saw the cub's rash and the description of the plant. "Sounds like poison ivy. Don't worry this is a simple fix." Pumyra said and rubbed an herb all over the affected area. "There, this herb rub will help, remind your son not to scratch." Pumyra said. Then gave them some of the rub.
"Thank you so much." the father said.
"Your welcome." Pumyra said. Then she packed up her stuff and headed back.
She saw someone in a rush and got out of his way, he was quiet a handsome fellow. She could help but feel a little attracted to him.
Later that night the lizards attacked Thundera. Pumyra hard barely escaped getting trapped. Mum-Ra saw her in the distance and was amazed by her beauty. "I want you to get me that cat," Mum-Ra said.
"The Puma why?" a lizard asked.
"She's beautiful and I want her with me." Mum-Ra said.
"Understood," the lizards said.
Pumyra freed a young cub. "Go, run," she said.
The cub ran off in a hurry. Pumyra saw the lizards come up. She got her wrist crossbow ready and started firing at the lizards. They moved out of the way and grabbed her by the arms. "Let me go!" Pumyra said.
"You are coming with us miss." The lizard said.
Pumyra was dragged against her will to Mum-Ra's pyramid. She was pretty scared. What was going to happen to her?
Mum-Ra came and saw her and smiled. "Hello my dear," Mum-Ra said. "You are now my sweet little concubine and pet." he said.
"I am nobodies pet! I will never do anything with you," she said.
"You are mine now my dear," Mum-Ra said.
"I belong to nobody!" Pumyra said.
"Come on now you must do as I say." Mum-Ra said.
"Never! I will never do what you say and I will never betray my people or my home or my king." Pumyra said.
"Your king Claudus is dead." Mum-Ra said.
Pumyra was shocked this now meant the young Prince Lion-o was now king.
Mum-Ra used his magic to hold her still and placed a black necklace with a black stone around her neck.
Pumyra saw the necklace.
"Lovely isn't it suites you my pet." Mum-Ra said.
Pumyra was disgusted it felt like a collar like she was his little pet. She was not a pet but a person with her own mind and heart. Pumyra grabbed at it and tried to take it of but it wouldn't come off.
"Don't bother it has a charm on it, only your true love can remove it after kissing you, and vowing to love you forever." Mum-Ra said.
Pumyra was shocked at this she knew if she stayed in Mum-Ra's pyramid it wouldn't happen. She didn't know what to do.
Mum-Ra got a pillow for Pumyra to sit on. "How many times must I say I am not a pet!" Pumyra said.
But Mum-Ra ignored her. Pumyra sat the pillow and huffed she was not enjoying this. Living in fear of this terrible monster. Although Pumyra did have some fight in her. She wouldn't let Mum-Ra do anything to her.
"You certainly are stubborn one," Mum-Ra said.
"I will never do what you say Mum-Ra you are an evil monster, I would rather be with any other creature than with you." Pumyra said.
Mum-Ra snarled and hit her. He hit her a lot.
"I see this won't make your will break down, so I think I have something else in mind." Mum-Ra said. "Slithe," Mum-Ra said.
"Yes Mum-Ra?" Slithe said.
"Take this cat and sell her to the rats as a slave like the other's I had just enough of her." Mum-Ra said.
"Yes Mum-Ra," Slithe said.
Pumyra was sold as a slave to the rats.
"They sold her for a good price now get to work." Ratar-o said.
Pumyra started to work but she never gave hope hope that Lion-o would come for them. "Your king will never come," Ratar-o said.
"We mustn't give up hope." Pumyra said.
"Yes, we must not give up hope," an old cat said.
For months Pumyra dealt with back-lashings from the rats. It was very painful. A dog named Dobo came by to purchase a slave. He was impressed by Pumyra and she was sold to him.
"Now Pumyra you will fight in the pit and once you win a hundred fights you will be a free cat." Dobo said.
"Okay," Pumyra said.
This was going to be hard and long. But Pumyra kept hoping Lion-o would soon come for her and their people.
