Myths and Legends:
Lilliam
For those who anger the gods, retribution is swift.
Condemned to remain a jaguar until someone wished she was
human, Lilliam lived through years that stretched first into decades and
then into centuries. She forgot what is was like to be human, to walk on two
legs, to pick things up with her hands, to taste anything other than meat.
Almost two thousand years passed. The world changed.
Lilliam's habitat shrank, and the day came when she was caught in a
poacher's trap. Finally, she hoped, death would find her and she could rest.
But, death didn't find her. A man did, a tall handsome
man, who, in an off-hand comment, wished the lithe jaguar he'd rescued was
human.
