Chapter 13 - 13 Who was Tiger

Her greatest threat was at one point her most closest friend she trusted him to lead her warriors in battles and to guard her people who were unable to fight.

He was also Fangs Older Brother.

at first Tiger was loyal and they were all close but then he started to change a little at a time.

Tiger used to talk to Flame all the time about everything who he liked who he trusted and so on Fang and Tiger used to be close as well Tiger taught Fang how to fight to wield a sword and move lightly avoiding blows while inflicting wounds on his enemy in fact Fangs sword was a gift from Tiger when Fang was made a personal guard to Flame it was a gorgeous blade with a golden wolf at the hilt in the place of eyes their was two ruby stones in the wolfs mouth were small teeth made of ivory its claws made from Onyx stones that had been carved the handle coated with black leather and a silver blade so thin but sharp and strong it could cut a tree in half with just one swing like butter it was curved like a cresent moon. Fang loved his sword and named it Kadakai Kornari which in dragons tongue translated to Wolves Heart.

Then one day Tiger changed he stopped talking to them started keeping to himself he whouldn't spar with Fang like they used to each morning they couldnt figure out why things had changed with him so much never did they suspect the real reason for his change it was a girl more accurately a Phoenix she was a bird made of fire and reborn from their own ashes her name was Nixia and she was beautiful with long fire red hair and purple eyes that gleamed she was funny and to Tiger she was perfect both as a girl and as a warrior but one day on a patrol around the forest boarder she flew to far out and a human shot her down with a bow and arrow she plumeted to the ground and when her body hit the ground it turned to ash but before she could be reborn from her ashes the human ran up and spread her ashes about so she couldn't be reborn and took the unburnt golden feathers that were stroun about Tiger saw this but couldn't reach her in time to save her and became enraged at the human and killed the human who killed his beloved Tiger tried desperately to gather up her ashes but wasnt able to do so as most blew off in the wind he sat their for what felt like hours and cried then a dangerous thought entered his mind that if he had the Queens power he could recreate Nixia with the power to give and create life he begged queen Flame to recreate her to bring her back to life back to him but she refused saying that once a life is lost no mater how much you try to recreate it it will never be the same and that it was taboo to tamper with the laws of life and death in such a way at first he seemed to listen to her and dropped the subject and continued with his work as the Captain of the guard but after a while the darkness in his heart took over he was no longer the Tiger they knew and loved and trusted but now he was a dark being he twisted the minds of almost half her people to side with him as he wanted to kill all humans and steal the queens powers so he could bring back his dead lover so one night when she was distracted with a celebration he made his move and attacked killing anyone and everyone who stood in his way he searched for the queen's Flame and crown wanting to steal her powers believing he had successfully killed Flame only to come across his dear little brother who's face was struck with grief and the hurt of betrayal

"why brother?"

"Stupid fool you wouldn't understand what its like to lose the one you love"

"Your wrong I loved Flame and now she's gone and its all your fault"

"What do you mean my fault if she had just brought back Nixia and help me avenge her death all would be well but she refused so this" he gestured around them at the scene of all out war "this all of this is her fault."

"she told you she can only create life but she can't give back what is lost their are rules to her magic so I'm going to kill you Tiger and restore peace just because your lover was killed you went and killed the woman I loved where is the fairness in killing?"

Tiger laughed in a crazed manner

"You? Kill me? oh my dear little brother you forget I taught you everything you know about fighting and besides we both know you will never be able to take her as a lover"

"SHUT UP you are not my brother not anymore" and with that they lunged at each other intent on killing the other till Tiger knocked out Fang and planning on killing him he stood over him sword held high ready to make the killing blow but he stopped as he heard Fangs backup arriving "tsk another time perhaps" he grumbled as he chose instead to flee into the dark and continue his search for Flames powers and was never seen again their were clues as to his activity in his search for her flames and crown like sightings of his mind bent army who Fang instructed that they must never kill unless Tigers men attacked them for when the Queen comes home she would be able to heal them
