Chapter 1: The Start of Something New

A train is seen barreling down the track through the grassland of Africa. The yellow lights illuminates the track in front as the train passes by a large out cropping of rocks. As the train passes a faded clown holding up a balloon while animals dance in the background can be seen painted on the cargo car.

A female tiger blinked as she looked up from where she'd been sleeping in her cage. She smiled her beautiful yellow and gold eyes glowing in the dark as she looked down at the small white and brown stripped cub resting next to her flank. Her smile faded as she turned her head to look out the small window of the cargo car. The full moon shown bright through the window and cast a soft glow around the room. The rest of the animals in the car where asleep. The Tigress sighed sadly before laying her head back on her paws and closing her eyes.

Her eyes snapped open when the train suddenly lurched forward causing her and her cub to fly into the far wall of the cage. The cub began to cry as the tigress sat up and shook her head. "What the heck?" One of the other animals asked from the dark. The tigress was about to reply as she tried to comfort her daughter when she was cut off by the train lurching again. This time it was much more violent then the last and was accompanied by the screech of the train's brakes.

Suddenly all the animals found themselves thrown violently to the side as the car tipped to the left. The tigress's eyes widened as the rope holding her cage and several others snapped. The cages slid across the wooden floor of the train and into the wall unfortunately the tiger's cage hit the wall first before several others's slammed into it.

An earth shattering crash is heard across the quiet savannah as the Circus train tipped onto its side. The 'Iron Giant' as the animals would call it rested on it's side smoke pouring from the engine as the wheels still spun. The savannah stayed deathly still as it watched the death of the train.

But even in death there can be life. Slowly from the torn and twisted wreckage of the cargo car crawled the female tigress and her daughter. The mother stopped as she stood on the metal car and looked around the moon casting down on her. Slowly she and her daughter made their way down the car.

Once on the ground the mother looked around. A large rock in the distance caught her attention. She looked back at the twisted metal that had been the train she closed her eyes in sadness for all the lost lives. Slowly with tears running down her face she turned and she and her daughter began to walk towards the large rock as the sun began to rise on the Pride Lands.


Ok I know this was kind of short. But it's setting up the next chapter. Don't worry the chapters will get longer I promise.

I hope you read and enjoy. All flames will be used to roast marshmallows.

Until Next Time. Happy Trails.
