Tantheras the Tiger
Two gods were standing in a beautiful green meadow surrounded with tall, healthy oak trees and wildflowers growing everywhere. The full moon was gleaming over them while they were talking.
"Why have you brought us here, Pan?" asked Artemis. She had her wavy, blonde hair in a high ponytail so it wouldn't get in her eyes while hunting. With sharp cheekbones and chocolate brown eyes, standing out with her tan skin. Artemis was wearing a white crepe dress with a metallic ribbon around the fitted bodice with a one-shoulder strap, with her white quiver loosely draped around the same shoulder, and had her silver longbow in her hand.
"Yes, why have you brought us here?" Lupa, the goddess of wolves, put in. She was wearing a black victorian sweetheart neckline dress with a taffeta gothic corset. She had high cheekbones, fair skin, and piercing blue eyes. She had thick, black hair reaching her waist and parted on the side.
"It has been brought to my attention that many animals and their habitats are being wiped out." answered the god, Pan. Pan was standing under the shadows of a tree but you could see that he had the legs of a goat. He was muscular, had horns as like a rams, and thick, brown hair. Pan had lightly tanned skin with beautiful shiny emerald eyes.
"Yes know this," they answered. "but we don't know what to do about it." The moon and wolf goddess were sitting on rocks in the tall, healthy grass. As the moon was going down they finished their conversation on what the plan was to create a new subspecies of tiger, a blue maltese tiger. They went in a circle and focused their energy on making a grey-blue tiger cub.
"What shall we call it?" asked Lupa. Artemis was deep in thought.
"We shall call it Tantheras." Artemis said. When she got questioning looks she explained, "Because Panthera Tigris is the Latin name for tiger." Lupa and Pan agreed, then left the young tigress with Artemis. As Tantheras grew older Artemis and sometimes Lupa and Pan taught her how to survive in the wild on her own. After Tantheras turned two years old, which is when in the wild that is the age tigers leave their mothers, and Artemis didn't have anything else to teach Tantheras how to survive in the wild Artemis left her as she slept under the shade of a tree after a hunting trip.
One day a couple moon cycles later as Tantheras heard a noise that she had never heard before, she poked her head out of a bush and saw a shiny monster with an animal walking on its back legs with fur the color of bright flowers. The Flower-Walker got into the belly of the monster and when it closed the monster growled and started to roll away on its round paws. That was the first time Tantheras ever saw a human, and that wouldn't be the last.
