Lycisce("Wolf"): She was the Goddess of Wolves, the Woods, the Sun and the Hunt, she was the daughter of the God Helios and Oiolyka, a Sea Nymph, daughter of the Hecatonchirie Briareus; and she was wife to Tigris. Helios gave Lycisce to his other daughters, the Neaireides Lampetia & Phaetusa, to rise. She was said to be a more skilled archer than Artemis, more beautiful and poise than Aphrodite, wiser than Athena, and also very spirited. She had the power over wolves and she has the power to shapeshift into the golden-eyed black Wolf of the Sun. Her preferred weapon was the long spear.
Tigris("Tiger"): He was the God of Tigers, the Underworld, Battle and the Hunt, he was the son of the God Apollo and Alcippe, a daughter of Ares; and he was husband to Lycisce. He was as brave as a lion, as swift as a horse, and as strong as a bull. He has the sharpest of visions, able to see from a distant and through things, physically and mentally. He was said to be a much skilled boxer than Hercules, a much greater and nobler warrior than Ares, cleverer than Hermes, and also very handsome. He had the power over tigers and had the power to shapeshift into the blue-eyedwhite Tiger of the Underworld. His preferred weapon was a great broad sword.
Once, when Lycisce was hunting a wild boar in the woods of Caria, she came upon the springs of the river Indus, where she decided to take a bath. She took off her robes and dove in for a swim in the fresh waters. On the other side of the forest was Tigris, who came upon the boar and tried hunting it down as well; but suddenly he too came upon the spring where the beautiful maiden of brown long curls, slightly tanned skin and sharp golden eyes was still swimming, when he saw her, he knew he loved her.
Lycisce heard the sounds of someone approaching the springs, and she quickly took her spear and pointed in direction to the noise. But coming towards her was a striking white Tiger-cub with sparkling blue-eyes; still she knew this was no ordinary animal, but a God like herself, so she turned in a beautiful black wolf with golden-eyes. And so the chase of the Wolf and the Tiger-cub began, the swift Wolf was almost at her prey's tail, but the cunning Tiger-cub eluded his gracious hunter.
This pursue took them to the regions of Persia, where Lycisce cornered her boon; but the entrapped creature suddenly stop quivering and Tigris took his true form, that of a handsome youth with blonde hair, white skin and deep blue-eyes. There he told the maiden that she might be swifter, but that he was much stronger as a man, yet he said he was here to love her. She refused him, believing he was only going to take her once and disgrace her maidenhood. But he spoke sweet words and told her he wanted her for his wife. But Lycisce did not give herself then and there; though she chose to accept him as her bridegroom, she decided to wait until her wedding night to give in to Tigris; and so test his proclamations of love her. But the youth waited patiently for his bride and the great feast came at last. The maiden had no other choice but to comply with her groom; he loved her like no other and she him.
And so both united in their wedding night, they lived faithfully and happily together. Tigris and Lycisce had two children, twins: first a boy named Lycidas, the "Wolf Cub", who is an attendant of his father; and a girl called Lycoris, the "Twilight", who has became one of the maiden followers of great lady Artemis.
