Into A New World

A/N: This story does not take place in Valley of Peace, mind you.


SPLASH.

Tigress felt herself land in a wet and shallow water body. A well perhaps? Her mind pondered as her body floundered in the wetness. It was deeper than she thought. And as her feet touched solid ground, the first feeling that rose like a gorge in her throat was not one of immense relief, but instead, it was a feeling of hesitant disbelief.

Her feet that touched the ground were smooth, and the uneven stones on the ground pricked her now delicate skin. Where was the soft pad on her paws, and the long, sharp, retractile claws?

As Tigress stood there, body half submerged in water, it took her a moment before it finally dawned upon her. Shifu was not joking. She should have known, that red panda and his white moustache never joked, except when Po came about, blundering on his fat legs.

Her bright orange eyes narrowed into slits and she bared her mouth back into a snarl and then it fully impacted on her that her mouth simply did not work in the old ways anymore. It hurt when she tried to stretch it further. And she knew for sure, it finally came to her full-force.

Tigress was human.
