*Beast of the Valley*
-Living Arrangements
Five minutes had passed since the Beast had thrown the others out. Five silent minutes.
"M-Master?" a shaky new voice said. Tigress looked up and saw that the Beast was talking to someone. She couldn't see the man who he was talking to, in a whisper; she could only see the light of the torch the servant carried.
The Beast growled and then turned back to face her.
"I'll show you to your room." he finally said uncomfortably.
Tigress's ears perked at that, "But I thought this was my—"
"Do you want to stay in the dungeon?" he asked in disbelief.
Tigress shook her head and followed him out the door.
She was wrong about the palace remaining the same. Everything had changed. As they passed through what had once been the Hall of Warriors Tigress noticed that everything was warped. The stone that had made up the building was dark and grimy. All the relics in the Hall were covered in kudzu and dust—some thrown carelessly in the floor. The Urn of Whispering Warriors was broken—not new.
She felt a shiver crawl up her back.
"The…um," The Beast started, "the Palace is way you now your home…or your home again…as the case…is. Anyhow, you can go anywhere you like except the Dragon Grotto. "
This peaked Tigress's curiosity, "What's in the Dragon Grotto—"
"It's forbidden!"
Tigress nodded silently and followed on. She needed a plan and at the moment she needed to just agree with...Po? Was that the panda's name?
They came up to a wall that Tigress was sure hadn't been there before. In front of them should have been the Moon Pool and above the Dragon Scroll.
The Beast—Po opened the steel door and pushed Tigress into the room.
"This is where you'll be staying. I hope you like it." Po said.
She looked around the room and was amazed. The room that looked new was very beautiful. The walls were embedded with gold and jade and the Moon Pool was so calm. Tigress looked up to see that the ceiling had been painted to look like a night time sky. A large bed rested in the corner along with a shelf with about twenty scrolls in it and a clothes chest.
It made her sick to think about who had built this.
"It's lovely," Tigress said without any emotion.
"Good…you will….join me for dinner! That is not an option!" Po slammed the door leaving Tigress alone in her room.
Once he left her knees buckled. She didn't cry. No, she was in shock. Everything that had just happened had just clicked in her head.
She was a prisoner.
Sure she had been held captive before as part of a plan, but now she knew that she'ld be here for a while.
She sat on the edge of the Moon Pool and tried to think up a plan.
Sorry it's so short!
