Lord Grenitar made his way down the elegant, spacious hallway leading to the castle’s great hall with Aerylln riding on his back straddling his shoulders. Zorya and Baelfire, following close behind, couldn’t help but be impressed by the deference and respect passersby were showering upon this majestic big cat.

“Good day, Lord Grenitar, I trust you’re feeling well,” one minister said while bowing deeply.

Several women in court dress curtsied, giving their brightest smiles while saying things like, “What a luxurious coat you have, Lord Grenitar.” And, “Your cat’s eyes are incredibly interesting and mesmerizing, my lord.”

When the captain of the king’s personal guard saw Lord Grenitar approaching, he shouted, “Attention!” And every warrior in sight stood ramrod straight and saluted.

Aerylln was amazed by how casually everyone accepted this 700-pound tiger roaming the castle halls as being a normal, everyday experience, which it was. Lord Grenitar had free rein over every inch of Dominion Castle by virtue of his bearing the title of Jarenspa, meaning chief retainer. More than a few ministers and court officials had been concerned over a tiger being given such an ancient and exalted designation. Being a Jarenspa granted the chief retainer unlimited and immediate access to the king. Lord Grenitar could even enter Dominion Castle’s throne room unannounced, which he frequently did. Carplorthian, the king’s most trusted friend and advisor, was the only other Jarenspa in the kingdom.

Having saved King Ulray’s life, Lord Grenitar interpreted being a Jarenspa to mean that he was personally responsible for the king’s safety and insisted on following him everywhere. However, King Ulray felt his tiger-brother’s overprotective nature had gone too far one night when the huge animal had tried climbing onto the royal bed with the intention of curling up at the bottom.

While watching his giant friend preparing to take up almost half the bed, King Ulray had sighed helplessly, but the big cat had quickly learned that Queen Loren wasn’t so easy to bamboozle. Before the huge tiger had gotten himself completely situated, the queen was on her feet grabbing Grenitar by the ear and dragging him towards the bedroom door.

“Maybe I could sleep on the floor next to the bed?” the giant tiger had pleaded, but the queen wasn’t listening.

“And stay out,” Queen Loren had said firmly as the door slammed shut behind him.

Exiled from the bedroom, the giant tiger had laid claim to a rug that was right outside the closed door and had contented himself with scaring ministers, generals and anyone else who attempted to disturb the king’s sleep.

However, as Lord Grenitar and Aerylln were approaching Dominion Castle’s great hall, the massive big cat was focused on the future not the past. Regardless of the danger, he was determined to defend his king.

When Lord Grenitar entered the cavernous throne room, all the ministers and court officials froze, then with a low rumble in his chest the huge tiger served notice that he’d come here on urgent business. Climbing the stairs to the throne uninvited, the only one
