chapter 1 the origins of Panthro

A female panther just had a baby boy. She loved him dearly but then a few days later she received word her husband a soldier who had been scouting was found dead. She knew because of this raising her son wouldn't be easy. It would be so hard she could barely make ends meet as it is. So she made a hard decision. She saw the Thunderian orphanage and placed Panthro on the doorstep.

"I'm sorry my little Panthro," she said. Then she knocked on the door and left.

The lady who ran the orphanage saw Panthro and took him inside.

The Thunderian Orphanage was a happy place where Panthro grew up. But Panthro wasn't like the other kittens. He had a tendency to lose his temper and break things.

He heard the lady who ran the orphanage talking to a man. "He's a monster! An absolute monster!" she said.

Then the man came into his room. "Panthro, I'm Leoparo, and I'm.." he said.

"Afraid?" Panthro asked.

"No,' Leoparo said.

"Well you should be I'm Panthro the monster, a monster who no one wants." he said.

"No you are a little boy." Leopano said. "Now, let's play." he said.

Panthro grabbed the domino and it broke. "Oops." Panthro said.

"You must learn to control your strength." Leoparo said.

Panthro went through training day after day. The days turned into weeks and the weeks turned into months. He began to hone his skills. He was able to control his temper and strength.

Then one day he began to do his final test. He placed the domino tiles together then gently knocked them down. They turned into the Thundercats symbol. He had done it. Once again the Thunderian orphanage became a happy place. Now for Panthro on test remained.

Several cats got adopted expect for Panthro. "Come on dear there is always next time," the lady said.

All the adults still thought he was too wild, except for one. Panthro saw Leoparo standing in front of him. "Leoparo," Panthro said.

"Come let us go home," Leoparo said.

After that Panthro began to train to become a soldier. He was becoming very strong and capable he learned to control his greater strength and then he enlisted and became friend with Grune and began to assist in training the young Princes.

Then he and Grune went to look for the book of omens. You know what happened after that.
