Therja sat behind the kings desk , this had been the first time he actually been up close to the lion, he noticed he did look older then his young age but he expected that to be due from the strain of all the years of combat and leadership taken its toll. Therja sifted in the chair waiting for the king to speak.
"Well looks like we have a huge mess on our hands "Lion-O replied as he sat back in his chair.
Therja automatically went on the defensive, "would have been a bigger mess if I had not of stepped in: Leanna would have been a splat on the stone floor"
Lion-O put up his hand, "we have everything on surveillance tapes, and we saw what happened, my question is what are you going to do about the young boy?"
Therja's hand flew to his forehead, in all the commotion he had completely forgotten about Katra's son in the kitchen, "ummm, what can we do?" Therja asked, "I mean we can't toss him out on the streets"
"Of course not" Lion-O said appalled at the thought, "What I meant was how are we going to explain to him that his mother is dead?"
"Even more so, how do we tell Panthro that the boy is here?" Therja asked with a slight sigh.
"We will worry about later, I can have snarf set up a room for him until we can figure this out, we need to find out if she had any other family,
someone may want to take the boy in "Lion –O replied.
"Already looked into that, there is no one else" Therja said with a nod
"Ok then, he will stay with us until we can figure out what Panthro wants to do" Lion-O replied.
Therja stood, "if that is all I will return to my post"
The lion nodded, "and thank you for saving Leanna"
"No thanks needed, just doing my job" Therja said with a slight smirk and left the lion's office.

Deep in a medicated slumber the panther heard a sound he hadn't hear in a while a soft cry of a cub, he tried to move but couldn't his body felt too heavy to move. He tried to speak but no words would come out. The sound was constant and sounded far away which frustrated him to no end because he wasn't able to do anything about it, instinct screamed at him to get up but his body wouldn't allow it. How could fate be so cruel he thought to himself?
Then a tiny point of light appeared in the darkness, and his body seem to lift its self-up he no longer felt heavy in fact he felt as light as air slowly he drifted forwards. Confusion swirled in his mind like a colourful kaleidoscope, he reached out to grasp a hold of anything that would stop his forward momentum but found nothing, and his long sharp claws raked nothing but air as he desperately tried to stop himself from moving.
Then a soft feminine voice spoke his name, "Panthro"
The panther stopped struggling, he knew that voice, he fought the fogginess of the medication he had been given to try and remember from where. "Panthro" the woman's soft gentle voice said again.
"Lea?" he question but no the voice wasn't of his mate, but of someone else who had meant the most to him. Then he stopped moving just as the point of light seemed to become larger. He stare wide eyed as a figure took shape. He gasped and swallowed hard as a female from the panther clan solidified from its ghostly form and stood in front of him. Her long black hair plated into hundreds of tiny braids hung over her shoulders and down her back, she had the same skin tone he had, and she was slight in stature but strong as all women from his clan were.
Tears sprang to his eyes as he pulled the female into his arms and hugged her tightly, "Mother" He said in an almost childlike voice, she had been gone for so many years then he suddenly pulled back and looked at her, "Dang blasted… I'm dead aren't i?"
She looked up at him her deep amber eyes smiled lovingly at him "No, "she said with a slight chuckle, "you're still very much alive, although very ill at the moment "she answered and touched his cheek withher long fingers, "I have kept watch over you and I am very proud of you"
Panthro smiled then gave her a confused look "If I'm not dead then how is it you are here?"
"I am here to ease your pain, I know you are grieving for your son, but" she said hen took a quick glance over her shoulder as if she was expect someone to come along, "you have no reason to mourn "
"What are you talking about Kale I dead I seen him" Panthro said shaking his head.
"I cannot explain" she said looking over her shoulder again, "I don't have much time, But Kale lives"
Panthro started to become agitated, he wanted to get angry, but this was his own mother, "I don't understand"
"I have to go "the female panther said then started to back away.
"no!, wait please" Panthro pleaded and reached for her but grasped nothing but air as she vanished back to where ever she had come from. Then like being stuck in a vacuum he was flung backwards away from the bright light until it had also vanished. His eyes snapped open, his mind confused as it tried to comprehend what had just happened. For a moment he forgot where he was it wasn't until he felt the pain in his legs he remembered he was still in the med bay.
