The Ancients were powerless. The veil was torn and the Shadow Beats were roaming the lands. Nobody was safe as they attacked villages all over the savannah and jungle. Then one day, A black tiger appeared in the jungle. He went to the tiger's temple. The Shadow Beasts clashed with the guards at the entrance. Defeating them easily. The black tiger stalked into the temple and into the council meeting room.
"Ashton!" Arkclaw bowed.
A white tigress named Snowy growled and pounced at Ashton. Claws out. The black tiger ducked and swiped at her with his paw.
"Arkclaw! Stop him!" Snowy roared.
"No," Arkclaw snarled.
Ashton left the room and two Shadow Beasts came in. They attacked Snowy. Arkclaw ran after his new master.
Witherstripe huddled in his mother's sleeping chambers. His younger siblings mewled in terror as the hid underneath him. Then the queen burst in.
"You need to run, take your sisters and go!" she said.
Witherstripe nudged River forward and picked Willow up by the scruff. He ran to the door as Arkclaw and Ashton came in.
"No," he said under his breath.
Witherstripe's mentor roared and swiped his paw down in an ark. The wood broke and shards flew at Queen Ranfall. Stabbing her everywere. Witherstripe ran past them with the cubs. They headed for the doors out of the temple. Shadow Beasts ran up and down the halls. Some noticed him and sprayed their lava at him. But Witherstripe was quick and ducked. Then River became tired and fell behind. Witherstripe set both cubs down. He had to pick one. He had to save one or the other. Filled with guilt, he picked River up by the scruff and ran full pelt towards the doors.
