chapter 2

They headed for the village. Lion-o was drenched in sweat. He was struggling to breathe. "Take it easy Lion-o." Tygra said.

Pumrya dipped a rag in cold water and placed it on Lion-o forehead.

Tygalina notice the bandages were soaked with blood. So she changed them. Lion-o gasped in pain when she began to clean the area again. Tygalina knew it was important to keep the area around a bandage clean.

"Tygalina can't you use your tonic?" Wilykit asked.

"I can but Jaga said it should only be used if help is no where nearby." Tygalina said.

"Yes there is a nearby town. No doubt they will be able to help Lion-o." Cheetara said.

"Right now all we can do is keep him comfortable." Pumrya said as she wrapped fresh clean bandages around Lion-o's wounds.

Tygalina saw that Tygra's bandages also needed to be replaced. She did so and she saw Tygra's mind was else where.

"Something wrong Tygra?" Tygalina asked.

"I just feel so bad that I haven't been the best big brother I should heave been." Tygra said. "We managed to defeat monster together which made me realize we make a great team as brothers, which makes me feel I haven't done the best job as a brother." he said.

"Tygra everyone makes mistakes." Tygalina said.

"Yeah Wilykit and I sometimes fight but we make up in the end. Because we care about each other." Wilykat said.

Lion-o groaned and turned over. "I feel sick," he said.

"We know," Tygra said. The gently stroked Lion-o's head.

Pumrya got out a canteen. "Here drink some water." she said lifting him up and bringing the canteen to his lips. Lion-o manage to swallow a few mouthfuls.

Lion-o felt so weak and sick. "Maybe we can get some food into him he might feel better." Cheetara said.

"Yes he needs his strength." Pumrya said.

Pumrya got out some fruit they gather and mashed it up. "This should make it easier to eat." Pumrya said.

Tygra took it from Pumrya's hands and Cheetara sat Lion-o up. Tygra tried to give Lion-o a spoonful. But Lion-o turned his head away.

"We know you're not feeling well. But you have to eat." Tygra said.

Lion-o manage to eat a few spoonfuls.

Lion-o seemed to be getting worse.

"Panthro how much longer?" Tygra asked.

"I can see it in the distance just few more minutes." Panthro said.

Tygra was doing his best to help keep Lion-o calm and comfortable. He wished it was him lying there not his brother.

They arrived at the town. There was some talking going on outside.

The villagers knew what was going on. They dealt with those creatures several times when going into the forest.

They came into the tank and carried him out and took him inside an infirmary. They began to treat him.

They managed to finish the treatment. "There that should do it." the doctor said.

The doctor came out.

"Hows Lion-o?" Tygra asked.

"He's going to be alright." the doctor said.

"Can we see him?" Wilykit asked.

"He's sleeping right now. So you have to wait for tomorrow morning when he's awake." he said.

"Okay," Wilykit said.
