The Tiger Of The Moon.

By Lil_popcorngurl

Prologue.

I was a lonely child growing up. Unlike the other children I was a princess, one of the daughters of the great Luna. (Not the cat). Since I am one of the daughters of great Luna I am destined to be royalty. To be treated different regardless of anything. Although I had every benefit possible I never had a friend. Since I was always inside the palace I never had anyone to talk to except people close to the royal family. At times it hurt being alone when I was younger but my time of loneliness was bound to be over when I met Kira. Kira is a tiger. She isn't what you would call a normal tiger she is a tiger of Luna. Although it seems that I am only saying that she is a tiger of Luna when I found her it was the only explanation.

She was a young tiger in the crystal forest by herself. Alone she was. When I was allowed for the first time out of the palace I found her. She wasn't a normal tiger that I was taught to fear. She was different somehow. Maybe it was her whiter fur with black stripes? Or the fact that her eyes reflected jade when you looked into them? I truly think that it was the fact that she had a crescent moon on her fore head. It was a silver moon but it was still a crescent. I remembered from my studies that the white tiger of Luna was extinct because they were hunted by other planets (mainly earth) for luck. I cringed at the fact of that.

I went up to the young cub and pet it. It cuddled in my arms as I pet it. It was so cute. I loved the way that her fur felt. As I pet her and felt the warmth of her fur I realized that there was a thorn stuck in her paw. I pulled it out and the tiger jumped on me playfully. I heard my mother call me so I left discreetly. But the cub still followed me. I shooed the cub away but it wouldn't leave. When I reached my mother the cub's sweet kindness won her over. She loved the tiger so much that she agreed to keep her.

From then on my best friend was Kira. She was lovely, beautiful, the image of greatness that I hoped to achieve when I grew up.
