Description

:icontheromandefection:



She didn't know how long the two of them sat there before the tiger was suddenly standing there in front of them.

She should've been scared. She should've been frightened. She should've been any mix of emotions that comes when a giant warrior covered in blood is staring down at you while you can barely stand. But she felt nothing. No urge to run, no urge to scream, no urge to do anything but lie there in the rain and blood. It wasn't until the tiger turned its blue eyes on the cub beside her that something in her chest made her claws unsheathe and scrape against the stones beneath her. The knowledge that she couldn't even stand suddenly dropped out of her head as she struggled (and failed) to push herself to her feet. And the only thought running through her head since she awoke was:

He will not touch the cub. He will not touch the cub. I will not let him. I will not let him --

"Thanatos ...?"

Her ears pricked at the sound of the cub's voice, and then she turned to the tiger and saw his eyes fill with grief and she knew that they were in no danger from him. The cub ran forward, and the serval could hear her voice but she couldn't make out the words. The tiger looked past the cub and at her, and then behind her to the two small bodies she knew lay lifeless in the rain; and she watched his gaze fill with a tired pain that she felt she knew yet couldn't place her paw on.

The cub turned and ran back towards her, and the tiger followed slowly behind. She lifted her head to look up at him, and she couldn't help but notice that his blue eyes were almost a perfect match of the lightening sky above.

"You have to help her, Thanatos, please," the cub begged, voice pleading and scared, but the serval kept her eyes fixed on the tiger.

"I will," he answered in a voice much more gentle than she expected. "I promise. I'll keep you both safe."

--

And later that night, as she lay in the belly of a ship with the cub sleeping at her stomach and bodies of her new family dozing around her, she found that she believed him.



And here's the final piece of The Lion's Roar! Theron is officially dead transferred to TRD with the rest of her new family!

Thanks for reading everyone, and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed making it !!
