Once Upon A Dream
I know you,
I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you,
that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
And I know it's true
that visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you, I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once,
the way you did once upon a dream
But if I know you, I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once
The way you did once upon a dream
I know you,
I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you,
that gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
And I know it's true
that visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you, I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once,
the way you did once upon a dream
I know you,
I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you,
that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
And I know it's true
that visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you, I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once,
the way you did once upon a dream
But if I know you, I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once
The way you did once upon a dream
I know you,
I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you,
that gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
And I know it's true
that visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you, I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once,
the way you did once upon a dream

【In the storm】
Who are thee that dare to travel the sea? Who would dare to travel through the storm? There’s a creature that lurks in the deep, calling upon the rage of the storm and wind. Though is it what it truly seems? When the storms are only the acts of nature? Could we blame this beast for keeping the world, our world in such balance? With the outrage of war, one must blame something or someone for the cause; whether it’s true or not.
What does this have to deal with a small lioness of the sea? Her very existence is no more important than others. Such pressure and fear in this civil war, many are blinded to the truth. Is the peace we had truly peace? When there are those who say that war is peace. Such questionable thoughts indeed, but what peace is will be decided upon the acts of the world.
They call me Astrapi, but I can’t be sure if that’s my given name at birth. Astrapi originates from Greek, it means lightning. Astrapi is quite fitting for my background, and abilities. All call me by my full name for I do not appreciate nicknames. Although, I do often get called Astra by those I’m close to. I never find it intriguing, but who can stop them? Even so, it annoys me the most when my brother starts using it as if I was a cub. I may be younger, but I sure can handle myself.
【there is absolute fear】
Elements are given to keep balance to the natural world. With such power comes with great responsibility. Some use it for the good of the world, while others abuse it. What we do with our gift is up to our own destiny.
Lightning it my first and most defensive ability of the two. Despite it being a strong element, I’ve learned to use its power for defense. Besides, it’s a lot easier to use it offensively when I have someone with the ability of thunder. Such power that circuit between the two.
Stun – This trick is used for both engaging and disengaging battles. It takes perfect strategy to use it successfully, because one mistake can take all unprepared. Stun strikes a target or more if others are around. It leaves the targets unable to move, removing any movement of the body or muscle for a short time period. Depending on the strength of the target, the duration may be shorter.
Electric Pull – This skill can be used offensively or defensively. Electric pull is used to carry objects, pull towards, or throw. It’s limited on how much the object weighs, and highly depends on the strength of Astrapi herself.
Force Field – Astrapi’s most defensive item is her force field. It’s used to keep danger from getting into physical contact. It can protect from light attacks, but will be destroyed with heavier attacks. The force field can only protect two per use. The more it’s used, the more Astrapi will lose energy.
Wind is my strongest and most feared ability. I never use it aggressively, but it will be used to warn you to back off. Respective to the possible outcome to stronger elements, Astrapi prefers to converse before battling. Hopefully to be able to wit her way around a fight, knowing that she will most likely lose.
Storm – Strongest, yet the most dangerous is Astrapi’s storm ability. With the help of her wind element, she can create hurricanes, tornadoes, and just large blasts of wind. Due to the damage it can cause, Astrapi never uses it unless it’s for full self-defense. Not only does bring chaos to the world, but it also can kill herself if she’s not careful.
Dash – A simple skill of Astrapi’s, and uses it for movement advantages. Dash is just a sudden quick movement to a targeted area. Agility is her main key when winning fights. Exhausting her opponents before striking is her strategy.
Enhanced senses – Hearing and smelling are important to the body, and life would be difficult without it. With the help of her wind, Astrapi’s auditory and scent is twice as strong compared to majority of the other lions. She is able to sense danger, or other life forms miles away from her position.
【never to be tamed】
Personality tells everything about a character. Lies and deceit play with your mind, and you will never know about it. Those who use such acts are those that are hiding behind a mask. Uncover the truth, and you will find who they really are. Like everyone, we all have a personality. That’s who we are, and how this world interacts. We all have the positives, and we all have the negatives. No one is perfect, and we can’t fix what we are unable to.
(Positive) Caring, respectful, tolerant, wise, loyal, and blissful.
Caring – Despite Astrapi being distant with a large mass of the lions, she still will care for those who deserve her recognition. If she hates you, don’t expect her to give you all her respect. It’s true that she may hate you, but she can still care for you; even though she despises it. There needs to be a bit of love, for it seems that this civil war has scattered all far and wide. Distrust has caused us to no longer live in harmony.
Respectful – Differences are one of the largest causes of hatred, but no matter where you come from, Astrapi will give your deserved respect. Even the worst of us still deserve some thought. To elders and of those of high rank always earn her respect. Not because they are of higher class, but because of the effort they put into their duty. Some may not be as great as others, but they help keep the pride from falling any further. The world is already crumbling; we can’t make it any worse.
Tolerant- Impossible it seems to tolerate the foolish choices everyone makes. To accept the fact that things may never change, and to accept the possible changes that we will face. Astrapi has taught herself to just accept the possible outcomes of the world and others. Pride, war, and death have just become a regular life to Astrapi.
Wise – Her age can be deceitful, but she is wise beyond her age. Astrapi acts and speaks as if she was an elder. Making choices that are impossible, and to understand the ways of war. Sacrifices must be made, and she can’t hide the fact that sometimes those sacrifices can’t be stopped.
Loyal – To her friends and family, she stays loyal to them no matter the cost. Not fully loyal to the pride, Astrapi tends to just lurk among the shadows of the land. She is unwilling to fight, or to even be included in the pride at times. Though, with the current status of the war, she will have to fight one day. She will offer her last breath to protect her family and friends.
Blissful – Happiness was destroyed when the civil war began. With peace destroyed after so long, seems everyone gave up their will to be in joy. Scarred by the brutality that this war has brought, Astrapi only wishes to make those she’s around as happy as her.
(Negative) Snappy, strict, short tempered, motherly, and over protective.
Snappy – Astrapi can, and will be harsh towards those who think less of her. Astrapi expects the same respect as she gives them, but of course she hardly respects others that think so lowly of her. She is not afraid to stand up for herself, and give a quick snap of words. To think of her as only a cub will only get you into a nasty situation.
Strict – The world never listens to what a cub has to say, for they only think of them as younglings. They don’t know any better than the adults. Shouldn’t we be more careful? Cubs know a lot more than what we expect. With such distasteful thoughts of adults, she tends to be strict to show her dominance. Astrapi has gotten into a lot of trouble when she doesn’t hold back her tongue.
Short Tempered – Astrapi is very impatient when others start to annoy her, or trying to prove themselves to her. Whether if they are trying to show they're stronger, smarter, or faster. She never cared, and will get into a feisty mood when others try to test her and her patience.
Motherly – You’re way too young to be a mother, young Astrapi. But yet, here you are treating everyone as if they’re your own. Don’t grow up too fast my dear, for you’ll forget how to be a young one. War may have impacted your life, but you can still enjoy life to the fullest. Stop worrying about others, nagging them, and being bossy.
Over Protective – With war on a rampage, it’s Astrapi’s duty to protect her family, friends, and the innocent. To spill blood she must, but war is not clean. Already she has lost her faith in the alphas, the ancestors, and herself. If there’s one thing she must do on this world, it will be to keep her family safe.
【but in the heart】
They say, on the day of my appearance, a great storm was washing upon the land. They say that I was born from the hate and rage of war. I truly do not believe them, but could they be right? Could it be true? For I have lost my memory of the past. I do not wish for it to be so, because I can still remember that day as if it just happened… Never did I realize that I’ve already fought in this war, and is long forgotten.
The waves crashed over me as I plead the gods for mercy. My claws ravaged against the water to swim. The closer I got above the water, the further the waves threw me down. I knew I would never survive, for I felt my struggle to live began to decrease. Beginning to lose my strength, I closed my eyes to savor my last breath before death.
It was dark and lonely, and I feared death itself. Before I knew it, the sea spit me out onto the shore as if they heard my plea. They gave me a second chance, and I was forever grateful. I dug my claws into the sand, dragging myself up the shore to distant myself from the gripping water. My body was numb, and I myself felt drowsy. Breathing heavily to gain back my breath, I looked up to the rumbling skies.
Something felt odd, and I didn’t know how to explain it. Even though my body was motionless with exhaustion, I felt so much pain and hatred. The waves continued to clash behind me, and I could hear roars of war, and screams of fear. It was so unbearable, that I myself began to scream with agony. Why was I feeling the horror of thousands of souls? I blacked out for my body finally exhausted to sleep.
Resting upon the sand, I was awoken to the bright rays of the stars. Opening my eyes, they widened with awe. Such beauty could this be? It was beyond anything I have ever seen, and they glittered like thousands of diamonds. The storm was calm, and there was only the sound of the calm waters. I couldn’t take my eyes off of the sky. It called me, it must be calling me. They gave me a second chance, and I must find out why. The ancestors must have given me a reason to live once more.
I began to travel across the unknown land that I was put onto. For many days I wandered alone, but never gave up hope. Step by step I took upon, waiting for my time to come to shine. Never did I know that I have wandered into a land of misfortune. A land where many lost their lives to a war, even though the land was empty. One step, I could already hear those same shrieks. Why, why were they in my head? I fell to the ground with tears in my eyes. Will I ever find my destiny?
Nothing scared me more than feeling lost. Lost I may have been, but the stars led me. The stars continued to remind me that I was never alone, and I'm always being watched over. It made me smile with joy knowing that I was never alone. Later through the years, I happen to find myself between the pride and the rebellions. I couldn't help myself but to question which purpose was greater. I couldn't decide who to fight for, and I struggled to find my place. I'm currently taking my place with the pride as a (support?), but I tend to fallow my blood brother. Where he goes, I shall fallow.
【mercy is what you seek】
Tobias – Blood Brother (Relationship)
With such a cloudy past, I couldn’t ask for anything to change. I met someone who changed my life, but was it for the better? He found me alone in this world, tears pouring from my eyes. He looked at me with passionate eyes. My tears stopped as I stared back at him. Being found by him was a blessing, and I owe him my life. We fell into a deep connection, becoming blood siblings. His name is Tobias, a young lion who has been by my side for many years. We definitely had a lot of trial and error, but our love is unbreakable.
We tend to have a large amount of arguments and disagreements. Due to both of us being the over protective types, we just can’t agree. My motherly, nagging side really breaks his patience. Plus, he is always unable to cooperate with me. It’s so frustrating dealing with him, and how he treats me as the youngling. Sometimes I wish he would, just for once, listen to me.
The only topic I want him to understand is our powers combined. We will be an unstoppable force together! With my electricity and his water, together we'll terminate this war. I don't know why he can't get that through his head, he's holding back for some reason. Is it because it's dangerous, or is he afraid? I can't tell, but he's not telling me everything. I'll make him listen one day.
Sometimes our arguments can really get out of control, which always lead to hatred for one another. It doesn’t last long, because we always end up back together after some time was given to think. I do have to agree though, I can be quite annoying when I’m always mothering Tobias.
We’ve been through thick and thin ever since we met. War has really impacted my life, his, and everyone else. We have many differences, but our opposites attract. I can’t say my relation with Tobias is perfect, but I sure will say that he’s the only one in this world that is important to me. We will always be together, even after death.
Artemis – Friend or Enemy? (Relationship)
Artemis isn't well known to Astrapi, but she is familiar with Tobias's relation with her. Hearing stories about Artemis from her blood brother, she found her as an unsure enemy. From the stories, she sounds awful, but could it be true? Astrapi herself wasn't sure, but she has been keeping a good eye out. Trustworthy or not, as long as she's an enemy to her brother; Artemis is an enemy to Astrapi. Not a strong hatred to Artemis, because she doesn't know the lioness well enough to hate her so strongly. Perhaps one day, if she meets her, she'll understand the history between Tobias and Artemis. Despite the stories that were told by her brother, she's heard some miraculous stories from others. An honorable warrior, daughter of a great leader. Artemis sounds like someone you would look up to, and she has a family of her own. Nah, she couldn't be bad as Tobias says....But, that could just be a mask of lies...
