Description
They say a mad king once lived in the great castle that towers over the valley. His days were lost in dreams of long forgotten chivalry, his nights were disturbed by sweating nightmares. When his delusions seemed to disrupt the whole kingdom, his ministers plotted his death. But in the very night they had planned to be his dying time, the king vanished without a trace. The killers only found an empty bed in the king's bedroom - the sheets rumpled from a fitful sleep, the silk and linen still damp with sweat. They searched the whole castle, then the castle grounds, then the entire valley. They found nothing. No body, no tracks. To this day, the disappearance of the king is a mystery to all his people.
It isn't a mystery to the white tigers that roam the mountains around the valley. The tigers know everything. They watch, they ponder - and sometimes they decide to act. They know exactly what became of the king, but since nobody ever asked them, they never shared their knowledge. They aren't interested in doing so, anyway. To them the ways of the humans are mostly boring and ridiculous, and even though they interfere from time to time in the human plans, they do it only for their own purposes. The people of the valley may have crowned a new king. They tigers don't care. They know who the real kings are.
