Intro
A tiger is coming down.
A tiger is coming down.
His body is mottled, his tail is long,
Over six feet tall, shaking his silkworm-like head,
The great beast descends into the deep, dark valley.
With forelegs like quivers,
And hind legs like thick ropes,
With ears torn and claws like steel blades,
Scattering grass roots and coarse sand—swish, swish!
Opening his vermilion mouth wide,
Roar!
The mountain is a place where various herbs and nature intertwine.
I, who always listened well to my grandmother's words, came up the mountain to gather herbs for her failing health.
When I was young, she told me to be careful because a tiger that protects the mountain lives here,
But there's no way such a thing exists.
Just as her nagging about me taking over the shaman work was echoing in my head, it happened.
A sound came from the bushes.
It was a tiger.
A real tiger.
Grandmother was right. A tiger that protects the mountain really lived here. And it was a massive one, with a deep orange coat and blood-red eyes.
The tiger approached slowly. With every step on the leaves, the sound of grass tearing echoed from his paws. His snout wrinkled, and his damp nose twitched.
He stopped.
He sniffed the air and tilted his head. For a beast, the movement was strangely human. As he took another step forward with his forepaw, the ground shook.
The wind blew. The tiger's orange mane fluttered, and through it, his white eyes stared intently down at the small creature pressed against a tree.
The corners of his mouth curled up. It looked like he was smiling. No, he was definitely smiling.
Grrr...
A low bass rising from deep within his throat vibrated the air. It was a sound too relaxed to be a threat, yet too heavy to be a joke.
