Long ago, there was a girl called Bella who had been separated from her mother at birth. She was raised by a lion called Tim. Her dream was to help save a species of boar. She wanted to meet a boar called Poglin.
Bella lived in a jungle-type mansion. It had a lot of windows with pictures of Jesus on them, kind of like the chapel. It was covered in vines. The mansion had been abandoned by life.
One day, Bella was travelling in the forest when she met a beautiful white horse called Snow. The horse was injured and Bella was encouraged to help her.
“Are you alright?” Bella asked Snow. “Would you like some help?”
“How can you speak to animals?” Snow replied, puzzled.
“Because I was raised by a lion,” said Bella. “I know how to talk to animals.”
Just then, a dog came running towards her. It wasn’t mean. It had come from a nearby cave.
“Be prepared! Sebastian is coming to attack you!” said the dog. Sebastian had sharp claws and liked to eat humans.
Sebastian had been part of a rich family. War and betrayal tore the family apart and he was left to fend for himself. The abandoned mansion had been the family home.
He was tracked down by a wolf pack. He didn’t want any trouble with them, so he asked if he could join. The wolf pack repaid his kindness with a question of worth. He had to defeat the second in command to earn his place…
