Chapter 1
Lion-o was not good at all things his brother was good at his brother was great with the girls and fighting. While he lagged behind. He wished he could be as good as Tygra. He wanted that more than anything.
But his mother thought he was perfect the way he was.
Today Lion-o was training. But he wasn't too careful and cut himself. Lion-o yelled.
"Is everything alright prince Lion-o?" A guard asked.
"Yes, I just accidentally cut myself while training," Lion-o answered.
"Are you okay son?" Claudius asked.
"Yes I just had a training accident." Lion-o said.
"It's going to be okay Lion-o we will get a medic here right away, my poor baby!" Leona said.
"Mom I'm not a baby!" Lion-o said.
"Mom please you know we don't like it when you baby us," Tygra said.
"Leona you got to stop babying the boys," Claudius said.
"But they'll always be my babies," Leona said.
"We know mom but we are grown up," Tygra said.
"Okay now let's get that medic here my youngest son is hurt," Leona said.
A guard went into town to find a medic. "Is everything alright?" A puma asked.
"Prince Lion-o is injured and needs a medic," the guard said.
"My name is Pumyra I'm a medic I was going to the palace because Jaga asked me to work in the clerics medical wing," Pumyra said.
"Then come with me," the guard said.
Pumyra followed the guard to the palace. Once there she saw the injured Lion-o. She went over to him. "Can you tell me what happened?" She asked.
"I was training and I wasn't too careful and I cut myself," Lion-o said.
Pumyra started to clean the wound, stitched it closed, rubbed herbs on it and then wrapped it up. "That should do it," she said.
"It feels better already," Lion-o said.
Lion-o noticed that Pumyra was very lovely.
Jaga greeted Pumyra and took her to cleric hall and showed her where the medics reside.
She got herself settled in her room. She found a star lilac flower on her windowsill. There was note that said a gift from your secret admirer.
Pumyra was amazed by this she had a secret admirer? The note smelled like the star lilac itself. She saw how lovely the flower was and smelled it. "It's beautiful," she said.
Jaga was talking to Kali his wife who was the head medic. "Pumyra is one of the new medics. I sense a strong magic over her," Jaga said.
"I heard of her a curse was put on her family, it was the royal family of Starrina the kingdom of the white lions and the curse made her born as a puma instead of a lion like her family." Kali said. "She was sent here to stay with Ledo a close friend of her father." She said.
"Yes this spell can only be broken by love," Jaga said. "Send her in I must talk to her about it," he said.
Pumyra came into the office. She saw Jaga, Kali and Cheetara. "Pumyra I sense a strong magic over you," Jaga said.
"I am living under a curse I'm supposed to be a lion not a puma," she said.
"I know," Jaga said. "But I know the curse will be broken soon I don't know by who will break it, but I know it will be soon." he said.
"I understand Jaga." Pumyra said.
Cheetara lead Pumyra back to her room. Cheetara saw the flower and the note. "You have secret admirer." Cheetara said.
"I know I can't wait to find out who it is," Pumyra said. "For now I will just wait and see what he sends me, Star Lilacs are my favorite." she said sniffing the flower.
In his room Lion-o wrote another note and he used his favorite flower a Star Lilac. This is what he wrote: I think you are as lovely as as the flowers in spring, as warm as a summer day, bright as the Autumn leaves and as shining as the fresh winter snow. That is just describing the very surface of your beauty and charm. I wish I could get to know you better. From your secret admirer.
The next morning he placed the flower and the note on her windowsill.
Pumyra woke up and found the flower. The note was so poetic. She showed the note to Cheetara. "Wow this fella sure has a way with words." she told her. "I think Jaga and Kali should know about this. This way they know someone might be able to break the spell." she said.
Pumyra showed them the flower and the note. "Looks like someone has their eye on you," Kali said.
"Yes and hopefully this young man will break the spell," Jaga said.
Pumyra hoped so too.
