Many, many years ago...I was a hunter. It was a very rough, but rewarding life in its own way. Every morning I would wake up and begin prowling the canyons around my cave for some food. There were many days I went without anything, but then there were days that I would catch 2, even three animals. The hunt was fun - I would crouch low to the ground and use my senses to find prey. I would look for tracks, or a rustle in the tall grass at the bottom of the canyon. I would smell for freshness of another animals sweat. I would feel for vibrations in the earth from a thundering herd... I was mighty, I was great... But in addition to being fun, the hunt was crushing. I hated killing, but it is what I had to do to survive. I wanted friends... I wanted family... I always longed for a family to call my own, but never found anyone. I never saw another sabretooth around... this was my life for many, many years.
I was eventually captured and brought to a place only talked about in whispers. I would often hear myself referred to as, "A miracle". And one day I overheard two humans (As I would later learned they are called) say, "He shouldn't be alive. I thought they were extinct?". Those were very dark days for me. I was more alone than I had been in my cave. At least in the cave I had my favorite rock, the moon and the stars, the wind in my fur, the hunt...
But that is all in the past. Here I am now! I was found a home with my friend, Anna and all her other friends. My diet today consists of whatever the hotel may serve me. Anna tried to feed me the same stuff she feeds one of her other Friends, Taalaa (Taalaa seems to resemble me, but she is so tiny. I find her very amusing. But she is a loving... Cat? I believe she was called?). But it made me sick and Anna decided that food was not right for me... Anyway. I am genuinely happy now. Instead of a favorite rock I have a favorite bed (Oh, beds are so much softer) and Anna lets me go outside a lot, so I still have my moon, stars and wind. I have given up the hunt and I feel I have evolved past it and am better for it. I still practice using my skills on other things so I do not lose them though... I still hope to one day find a mate, and I will need more than these big teeth to impress her.
