Years Later.
As Distant finds himself :
The early morning mist fills the air
the birds have flown off as the others run in fear
as calm settles not a sound is heard (breathing.)
no leafs moving no bushes trembling "SNAP!
Distant "I hear you...I can smell your breath..."
with a grin and a shack of the beast head he appears,
The great white tiger Life:
Step by step out walks Life looking amused
"hows this you the great one sneaking up on me"
no,no,no he nods his head "just watching...listening"
Distant "do you wait for me...to what sleep... or forget..."
with a chuckle Life moves closer to Distant as he raises up
"now,now little one" Life speaks," no need to fear,
Distant show a grin of his own:
The bangle tiger tilts his head to the right
"little...its been years and the best I get is little
he sits even turning away from Life "as for fear.."
never once looking the great one in the eyes "no..."
"fear is no longer a factor in this game...nor is...
...running"he looks back to the beast raising his ears,
Life holds up takes a step back:
"It has been a while hasn't it?"as he looks over Distant
"no gripping paws sweaty brawl not even your tempered growl"
"it has been awhile I can tell by the way you smile" Life says
his shoulders move him forward as his paws crush all that stand in his way
Distant stands strong looking over the beast ready for another
with a grin he stops "I just want you to know...I'm near,
