...Many years ago...
The man village burned, in the night, Shere-khan struck without warning. Knowing he'd be outnumbered, he used the dying embers of the 'red flower' to burn the village. The villagers, boxed in by the walls that had long kept them safe from predators, were now trapped! There was only one exit/entrance, desperately they tried to flee...but Kahn had made sure to block it with boulders just enough so they could only come out one at a time...and one by one he killed and devoured them all...
Fire behind them, a monster in front of them, two parents cradled their crying young daughter. They kissed her, prayed to god she would be safe and threw her over the fence...just as the village collapsed, killing everyone inside.
A young shanti cradles her broken leg...and cries as she crawls into the jungle...but not before giving one last hateful glance at the laughing tiger that had ruined her life...
...Present Day...
"Five more dead?" Raksha asked horrified. One of her sons nodded, "Yes, and the Cournel reported another dozen elephants dead as well. More and more animals are being found killed.
"Could it be Shere-Khan?" Asked another wolf. "No, the bodies were left uneaten, besides say what you will of Khan he wouldn't pick a fight with so many animals for no reason!"
"Who else could it be?!"
As they discussed the increasingly worrying situation, Raksha talked with Bagheera.
"Between Shere-Khan returning and whatever new threat this is...I think it be best if Mowgli leave, it's not safe here anymore."
Bagheera frowned, "I agree...but where would we take him? The nearest man-village was destroyed by shere-Khan years ago!"
"You'll just have to take Mowgli to the next closest."
"But that's weeks away!"
"I know...but what other choice do we have?"
...
Meanwhile, Mowgli obliviously played with his cub friends...blissfully ignorant of the dramatic change his life would soon take...
...
...and even more oblivious, of the hungry eyes that lingered on him. The years had not been kind to Shanti, forced to survive in the Jungle on her own...the only thing that kept her alive...was her desire to see Shere-Khan DEAD.
Murdering the other animals...both to grow stronger and to turn the rest of the jungle against the hated tiger...wouldn't be long now.
Naked, save for the leaves, twigs, mud, and fecal matter she's covered herself in to camouflage herself...she'd finally found the wolf den...
Only to find...a different type of prey...
Shanti eye's widened on the first man-cub she'd seen in years...first in surprise...then curiosity...then hunger...
Her next hunt would be interesting...
