NOTICE: PERSPECTIVE SWITCH TO GREAT TIGER
A few moments earlier!
On the mountain, deep in a cave close to the top. There's a lake with trees all around, a beautiful scenery. Paw steps are heard with a low growl coming from the cave, a set of red eyes staring outside. A majestic, tattooed tiger walks out of the cave, it raises its head high and releases a mighty roar spreading across the entire mountain. *ROOOAAARRRR* The tiger has a smug grin. It walks to the lake and starts drinking as it listens to the creatures cower in fear by his roar.
"That's right," The tiger thoughts, "I am the king of this domain! My mountain! Be afraid and revere me!" The tiger raises its head with the smug grin and walks back into the cave reminiscing of its past.
"I am a Tiger Emperor, descendant of a great Tiger Emperor." It reaches the cave and sits down with its head on its paws in the darkness. It looks outside with red eyes which can only be seen from outside.
"Some time ago, I was only a little tiger cub." It reminisces, "Born with 3 other brothers all older than me, but I was the most talented. I was strong, fearless, powerful!" Tiger grins, "I grew stronger and evolved into a Tiger King earlier than my brothers. Then I set out from my family, to see the world, to experience adventure...But who cares about that?! I wanted humans, humans, humans! Afterall, humans equal servants equal food."
The tiger continues, "I have seen how they produce abundant food. I want it all for me, ME, ME, ME! I want them to worship me as their god! So, I moved here but before that, I got involved with some unsavoury fellows." A dragon, wyvern, phoenix, some kind of gryphon and a giant, "I beat them and took over their territory and even evolved into a Tiger Emperor….But sadly I look no different, I am powerful at least 20 times stronger than when I was a tiger king but….. The stories father used to tell me about Tiger Emperors kind of made me doubt my life."
"I went on travelling with disappointment," He reminisces walking through deserts and empty lowlands till he finally sees a human. "And there she was, a human. She was carrying some hollow dirt or something on her head. I wanted to make an entrance and watch her worship me."
He imagines standing before a woman with his 5-meter-tall body looking up with a smug grin and the woman bowing before him but, "Reality is often disappointing. I showed myself and my first hopeful follower ran leaving dust before me. I wonder, maybe I didn't say the right words."
He continues walking to a mountain, "I came across this mountain which had humans and little meat (Cattle) walking on it. Ah my first sacrifices." He smiles and pounces on the cattle, "The humans ran away leaving the sacrifices behind. When they came back, I was done with my part. So, I went up the mountain and found this nice cave, some bear use to live here but….His body was tough, so he wasn't good meat."
Now he's in the cave resting his full belly, "I spent the rest of my days here relaxing. I'd go down the mountain on the road. And humans always leave sacrifices for me...I was starting to think I should let them bring it up to me. So, I went down the mountain and told a human after he got tired from showing me around." Poor guy got tired from running for his life.
"I returned back to my cave and waited," The tiger is now in the cave resting, "Then I saw them. Humans walking up the mountain, they were surprising tall for humans but I had no problem with that. I wondered where the sacrifice was then I remembered, humans can hide meat in their fingers (Storage rings). So I'll wait for them to come to me. A little female cub…..maybe I'll make her my highest servant, she looks playful. And there's a big male human beside her, a bright female human and a dark female human are arguing over something and the last male human is trying to touch the little female on her head….I don't understand. Is this how the show affect- Ohh! The first big human hit the 3 on their heads and is carrying the female cub."
He looks outside expectantly, "I'll just wait for them to bring my sacrifice and let the little female become my servant. Getting to eat out of her hands is already my fantasy….Oh, just thinking of her coaxing me to eat and I pretend to resist, hahahahaha. The future is bright!"
.......At Current Moment...….
The tiger is looking out the cave with its red eyes showing and it continues its monologue, "That is how everything should have happened, a little cub servant to feed me and more meat. As of now, I have a question…..One question actually….I want to ask one tiny little thing. HOW….." Light starts to shine in the cave, "JUST HOW THE HECK DID I END UP LIKE THIS?!!!!"
Light finally fills the cave revealing the great Tiger Emperor lying on the ground majestically….and on his head, the little female human cub he wanted as a servant…..is using his head as a chair....
The Tiger Emperor cries in its heart, "How are humans so scary!" The Tiger Emperor trembles greatly, "The smallest among them is fiercer than a dragon!" He gazes at the little female human cub somehow enjoying his trembling, "How can humans be so scary!" the great emperor cries actual tears now, "Mommy, Mommy! Where are you?! Please, I want to go home! No wait, mommy please don't come here or you will end up like me! WWUUAAHHH! I just wanted humans to serve me food! WUUAAAHH!"
Outside the cave, the 3 humans are cutting down trees and digging holes in the ground. They strike the ground with explosions making it look like a fight happened but in fact.....
