chapter 34 deceit can be striped
After helping the White tigers out things pretty much returned to normal for the tiger clan. But today they were going to get a surprise. A tiger came in running up and the other tigers knew him. "Caspin's crazy older brother!" one of the tigers said.
"You are a traitor leave!" Javan said.
"I heard the lost tiger prince has returned you must rid yourself of him or the Fangstire will continued to attack!" Balinous said.
"No Balinous the other part of the legend says the Fangstire will become a danger to the universe if it eats Tygra's heart." Caspin said.
"That is just something to prevent it I shouldn't have been banished!" Balinous said.
"Your punishment was well deserved." Caspin said.
Balinous then ran off in a huff. "I'm sorry about my brother he has always been like that," Caspin said and left.
"You all don't know much about Caspin, but I do," Javan said and began to tell the story.
Flashback.
Balinous was a happy child and then his parents told him they were going to have a baby. Balinous became jealous at this news. He was happy being an only child. But on cold night two months before he was suppose to arrive Caspin was born small frail and weak. Their mother had died due to complications. Balinous didn't want to look at or hold Caspin. He never did much with his brother growing up except making Caspin feel bad about himself and make him cry. He always told Caspin it was his fault mother was dead that him being born killed her. But the other members of the tiger and family didn't blame him because several of them lost their mother the same way. Caspin despite having weak health first began to develop a strong level of Resilience after bad injury or illness he bounced back quicker than others. Soon Caspin became part of the council of elders for the chief. Javan and Caspin had been best friends since childhood when Javan became a father Caspin became Tygra's guardian to watch him when Javan couldn't or if anything happened to him. Caspin had to rescue Tygra when Balinous attempted to leave the small cub alone because he thought if the Fangstire got Tygra it would leave and nothing bad would happen. After that Balinous was banished.
"I see it must be hard," Cheetara said.
"Yes and it's not an easy thing to talk about." Javan said.
Meanwhile Balinous was fuming and he saw a lion with a black mane. It was Calon. "Come with me Mum-Ra wants to meet you," Calon said.
Balinous was taken to Mum-Ra where he had a spell put on him and he became the keeper of Fangstire. "Now we will full our destiny," he said
Soon the Thundercats had to leave. "Have a safe journey my son," Javan said.
"We will father be careful yourself." Tygra said.
Then they left. Soon Calon and the lizards came and attacked the tigers fought back pushed them away. But Slithe grabbed Caspin. "He'll make a good prisoner," Slithe said. "Mum-Ra said take one of the tigers prisoner and we got their chief's right hand man. Now let's go," he said.
"Javan help!" Caspin said.
"Caspin!" Javan said. The Lizards and Calon took off with Caspin who was now a prisoner of Mum-Ra.
"We have to save him," Javan said.
