Betrothed

Prologue

One hundred years ago, the greatest battle in all of China began and many lives were devastated or lost. The battle divided China from the Shengda Clan and the Qianglie Clan. Many gave their lives in great battles for the sake of people's lives. This horrifying battle went on for 74 years until the leader of the Shengda Clan decided to bring peace between the two clans.


Our tale began one evening, the sun's set and it's a blood red sky with clouds against the sky, there're soldiers set up in a tent camp in front of a massive castle, there're hundreds of animals, some antelope, gorillas, elephants, and some tigers. This is the Qianglie Clan, they're exhausted and tired from fighting the Shengda Clan. They're on the look out. Then, someone came over the hill, the gorillas who're standing guard were about to sound the alarm, but he began waving a white flag. The gorillas decided to wait and made sure it wasn't an assault. Then, a huge muscled male tiger began walking over behind the tiger waving the flag.

"It's Bao," one gorilla said to the other.

When the huge muscled tiger got closer, he's wearing some green pants with a green robe, and he had brown eyes. The tiger put the flag down and Bao bowed to the gorillas.

"What do you want Bao?" one gorilla asked.

Bao straightened himself up and said, "I have a deal to end this war once and for all. I must speak to Guang right away."

"And why?!" demanded a gorilla.

Bao told him why, and then the gorillas opened the gate and let him in. The soldiers were startled, but the gorillas calmed him down.

"Fear not, no assault, he must speak with our leader right away," said one gorilla.

The gorillas explained what he said, then they began leading Bao to Guang.

In the castle, in the king's royal room, there's a strong, muscled tiger sitting down in on his throne, he has on a white robe with gold trimmings on the edges of it. He's very handsome. He sighs in worry as his wife, a beautiful white tigress with blue eyes and in a golden dress, sees her husband is still worried. She walked over to him and placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Guang...same old thing?" she asked in a gentle tone.

Guang sighed, "Bai Li...why won't this...ever stop?" Bai Li put her finger under his chin and made him look at her.

"I swear, this war will stop someday..." she whispered.

Then a bunch of soldiers came in, all dressed in black uniforms. Guang and Bai Li took note of this.

"What's going on?" Bai Li whispered.

Then they stood in a straight line on opposites. One tiger came to the king and bowed before him.

"Your majesty," he said, "Bao has come to deliver a message."

"What?" Guang asked with widened eyes.

"He'll explain," said the tiger before stepping aside for Guang to see Bao coming to them.

Bao bowed to them, and Bai Li asked, "Bao, why have you come to our clan?"

"Relax," Bao said, "I've come here to tell you there's a way to end this war between us."

Guang's eyes widened, he looked at Bai Li, and she looked surprised as well. Guang looked back at Bao and asked, "What is on your mind?"

"Well," Bao said, "I decided a way to stop the war. And that's to let a female tiger marry my five-year-old son Bojing when they're old enough. Reunite the Clans to make China a Grand Strong Nation."

Guang's eyes widened again, he began thinking and then he asked, "Is that how the Clans will reunite?"

"Yes. I've decided this with my men, and we've agreed this will be the best way to end this war."

Guang began thinking again, he looked at Bai Li, and she nodded. Guang burrowed his brows and them he ran his hand down his face before he looked at Bao again.

"We'll do it," he said.

Bao smirked before Guang looked at the captain of the soldiers.

"Get the all of the tigers together so we can find a female tiger cub," he said.

The next day, hundreds of animals, tigers, gorillas, antelope, and others are gathered in front of a stage, the sun is rising shining its golden light in the blue sky. Bao is sitting next to Guang, Bai Li stood by her husband with her hands on his shoulders, then a five-year-old tiger in a white robe stood beside his father. A tiger stood up and pulled out a scroll.

"On behalf of King Bao, we've decided to end this war by having someone let their female daughter marry his son Bojing when they're old enough. And this'll reunite the two Clans and make China the Grand Strong Nation of the world. And further more..."

What they didn't know is that a couple who had the only female cub in the Clan began to get out of there. They've so many horrifying things about the Shengda Clan and they fear something will happen to their child.

"Let's hurry," the female tiger whispered in a nervous tone.

The male tiger nodded and they began to move without being noticed, they put robes over their heads as they called out the tiger families who had the female cubs. But they're too late not to be noticed for Bojing spotted them.

"Father! There're a couple of people running away!" he said.

"What?!" Bao shouted.

Bojing pointed to them trying to escape, then he caught a glimpse of a tiger's tail!

"Get them! They're running off!" Bao shouted.

Then some of Bao's men began going after them, Guang took note and then he ordered his men to charge as well, and they obeyed.

"And if they have the female tiger cub, bring them here!" Guang shouted.

The tiger family heard they're coming after them, so they began running on all fours while the mother carried her with her teeth, she's in a bundle of blankets so she won't fall. The male tiger lead his wife through some of the city while Bao and Guang's men chased after them. They jumped over barrels and a small fence before the mother began running on two feet, holding her baby close. The male tiger saw the soldiers coming, the mother held her baby tight as the father lead her to safety. Then he tripped, the mother stopped and looked at him.

"Go! Go! Run!" he shouted.

The mother didn't want to leave him, but for her baby's sake she ran and kicked part of the fence down, escaping from the Clan. She began running as fast as her legs can carry her while being careful with her baby. The father was seized by the soldiers, they picked him up and one held a sword at his neck.

"Where's the baby?!" a soldier demanded.

The male tiger wouldn't talk, the soldier demanded again, but he wouldn't talk. Then the soldier slit his throat, making blood pour out, then he threw him to the ground before slicing his head off.

With the mother, she's running as fast as she can with her baby close, she's panting as she runs as fast as she could, hoping to save her daughter from the Shengda.

Mama's here, Mama's here, she thought as she kept running before disappearing into the forest.


So, the mother managed to escape from the Shengda with her daughter. Though she lost her husband, she saved her baby, erased her identity and leaving her at the Bao Gu Orphanage. The war continued on for another 26 years while the mother disappeared out of China, never to be seen again. No one's known the true identity of the little female tiger cub...

...until now...
