Cursed
Once upon a time, in a land of great joy and happiness, there lived a tiger couple. They had just settled down to live a life of peace and happiness, the mother became pregnant. They rejoiced at the coming of their first child. But the mother became sick, it seemed as if she and their child were going to die. The father searched for ways to save them both, no medicine worked, no magic's worked either, he tried everything to save them. It seemed as if he was going to lose them both. But a tigress witch had heard about the family and took pity on them; she told them that she could heal them. But if she did, she required one thing from them. They agreed to this, and in one day the mother was healed and she gave birth to a beautiful baby cub. They thanked the witch for her help and told her that she could have anything that she wanted. The witch had become jealous of the beautiful baby cub; it reminded her of her child that she once lost long ago. She asked for the baby cub, but the father hid the mother and cub. The father promised that he would do anything for his son, even his own life. But the witch was determined to have the tiger cub. She snuck into the house at dark, and attempted to take the tiger cub. But neither the mother nor the son was there, the witch could not find them; she knew that the father had hidden them, and that she would never find them. He was prepared to kill her, or die trying. But she chanted a curse upon the family instead:
Tiger cub, Tiger cub, tiger cub:
No longer will your life be a normal life.
Rabbit cub, tiger cub, tiger cub:
Weak and small, you hang onto life.
Rabbit cub, cursed cub, tiger cub:
Your parents shall steal your life.
Rabbit cub, Cursed cub, strife cub:
This is my spell that I place upon your life!
Rabbit cub, Cursed Cub, Strife Cub!
Then, she disappeared in a flash of light. The Tiger cub had disappeared with her.
No longer will your life be a normal life.
The tiger couple wept for days on end, neither eating nor sleeping. But they did not die, nor did they become sick or tired. And neither did they age, they had become immortal. But at the price of somebody else's life; their own sons.
Weak and small, you hang onto life.
Your parents shall steal your life.
This is the spell I place upon your life!
That day, a baby rabbit was found at the door steps of a church. The church took pity upon it and took it into their care.
20 years passed since that day, and this is where the story of the Cursed begins.
