Welcome back, gang. In order to have this story focus on more than ThunderCats than just Lion-O and Pumyra, the next few will be focusing on Tygra and Cheetara. For the new evabon in this chapter, Sothap, I ended up mentally casting Scott McNeil: read Sothap's dialogue in Dinobot's voice.
Sympathy
Tygra and Cheetara both walked towards a tomb. All of their group had dispersed to get some information from the evabon, wondering if they knew the location of any stones but instead found themselves wondering about who was buried here. So Tygra and Cheetara decided that they'd try to get information from one of the tomb guards.
The guard they attempted to get information from was a rather unlikable evabon. While Tygra attempted to get information from this white skinned evabon, Sothap, Cheetara was starring into the tomb, trying to make sense of the markings on the walls.
"Go away!" Sothap started push both the tiger and the cheetah.
"Sothap, can't you be sympathetic?" Cheetara kept trying to look at the markings but the further she was pushed the less of the markings she could see. Sothap was stron, she'd admit that, even if he was unlikable.
"Sympathetic? Ha!" Sothap stopped pushing the two by the time he reached the statue of Antaeus. He shook his head. "Too many times I've been fooled into being sympathetic so I could let my guard down and thieves could sneak into the tomb of Marcius."
"Has anyone ever stolen anything?" Tygra wasn't looking at Sothap. He was looking at the statue of Antaeus. The resemblance to Gard was uncanny. Sothap had just started to scratch his arm. Tygra and Cheetara both took note of this, Sothap noticed they had noticed and glared at the two.
"Don't you two try to get past me by turning invisible or running really fast. You're not the first tiger and cheetah I've encountered so I know how to stop you two." Tygra and Cheetra weren't even looking at Sothap any more they were looking past him.
"What about monkeys?" Sothap turned around and sure enough there were a few monkeys entering Marcius' tomb. The look on Sothap's face was far from what he was saying.
"I am calm." Sothap didn't look it and he didn't sound calm either. Tygra and Cheetara both watched as Sothap started to clench his tremendous fists in anger. He then turned to look at the two cats. "Now see what you've done!"Tygra and Cheetara both looked at each other. They hadn't exactly done anything. Sothap had pushed them too far from his post so it wasn't really their fault. Sothap immediately jumped towards the entrance of Marcius' tomb. Tygra and Cheetara followed. As unlikable as he was, they couldn't let Sothap go in alone.
