The Secret Portal of Jamaa

''A young tiger slept peacefully under the giant glass Mira statue in the upper area of Jamaa. Her name was Sparkle SunnySpirit. How little she knew that the next few days of her life would be filled with exitement and exploration of the unknown...''

This is her story.

Chapter One

I snoozed without a care in the world. I felt the warmth and prtection of the Mira statue above me. My tail twitched as a fly landed on it.

Finally, I rolled over on my back and yawned. It had been a good nap. But now it was time to play! I sprang to my feet as any young, playful tiger would do and pawed at a huge yellow butterfly. My life in Jamaa was carefree and fun.

Just then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a slight sparkle in the trees. I hurredly got up and stared at where I thought I had seen it. There was nothing there. I trembled for a second, slighty scared of what might be out there. I had only once gone into that small wood that surronded Sarepia, when I had been gifted the power to shapeshift into an eagle. There was really nothing to be afraid of, I told myself. There couldn't possibly be phantoms out there. the Alphas kept all of Jamaa safe. But...I shook myself and trotted down into the central area of Jamaa.

There was a gigantic bunch of animals down there, saying this and that such as 'trade meh', 'gift me I'm poor' (Which was obviously a scammer, Mira had taught me), 'find your perfect match, my den!'. I shuddered. Ick!

I sqeezed through the thick crowd of animals, heading toward Sol Arcade. As I played the various games that Mira had made for all the animals long ago, my mind kept going back to the mysterious flash in the small wood by the Mira statue. I finally couldn't stand it anymore and headed to my den.

There was only one thing that could relax a young, alert tiger now...sleep!
