Prompt: (Minimum of 300 words) (I tied this into the story for the snow king btw)
Aurora is reluctantly the snow queen, and the cub like spirit is her lost prince. About three moons after the Snow King’s mate left with her cub and another lioness with her cub, the Snow King came to realize that they had tricked him and were not going to return to the icy mountain kingdom. He decided to choose new heirs since he had lost his. The king chose Aurora to become the new king as soon as she was of age, and a strong looking cub named Cupid, to be Aurora’s mate and to replace himself when his time came. The icy mountain kingdom continued to struggle, the cold and lack of food driving desperate lions to take desperate actions. The Snow King’s hold was broken in to and the Snow King was struck down. The lions then all disbanded in their own directions, unable to agree on the best rout to take to get off of the mountain. Aurora and Cupid’s mothers decided to stay together and trekked west. The terrain got rougher and the snow got colder. They found themselves in a sort of ravine, where the wind channeled through and brought snow down from the surrounding mountain side. They had no choice but to continue through. Slowly and quietly the mothers carried their cubs through. They could see the end of the treacherous ravine, when the snow started to quicken its pace and a roar began to grow. The lioness began to run, as an avalanche began to rush down on them. Aurora and her mother slid into a shallow crevice in hopes to evade the rushing snow and rock. They could feel the cold rush as the snow landed and swept through the ravine. As soon as the rush of snow came to an end and the only thing that could be heard was the howling wind and the panicked breaths of Aurora’s mother, they began to climb to the top of the freshly fallen snow. They wondered back, in hopes to find Cupid and his mother. Hope was beginning to die when Cupid’s cries could be heard, muffled by the snow. Aurora’s mom leaped to the sound and began digging, Aurora tried her best to help, soon they came to Cupid’s mother, cold and motionless, she had used herself to shield Cupid from the crushing impact of the snow. Cupid was alive though. Aurora’s mother struggled to keep both Cupid and Aurora alive. Keeping them sheltered, warm, and fed. When ever she found and caught something the eat, it was only enough for the cubs. The snow was no longer falling and it seemed to be getting warmer, hope filled the three, that they may finally be off that treacherous mountain. Another day or two later, Aurora’s mother could not go any further. Aurora begged her to come, but she just closed her eyes and told them they had to go on with out her, she had nothing left to her but the two of them and they must live on for her. With heavy hearts the cubs continued on. They both struggled but kept together. They eventually reached a rocky place with steam and pools of hot water. Able to drink and feast upon the snakes that lived in the pools the cubs had a fighting chance. After staying for a few days they had to decide to leave, it was warm but there was little to eat, for snakes where small and hard to catch. The two walked on, the slop became steep but that brought hope of an end to their travels. Cupid soon became over joyed at the idea and because to frolic and bounce, Aurora laughed and they both talked of what it would be like. Soon it became even steeper and Aurora warned Cupid he should be carful, that if he tripped there would be no stopping his tumbler down. But Cupid didn’t listen, he was to happy. He bounced and turned laughing, and the lost his footing and slipped, he tumbled down and down unable to stop. Aurora chased after him, carful not to lose her footing. Eventually she caught up with him. Cupid and been stoped by a bolder that jutted from the ground. The impact had killed him. Aurora had to continue on her own, for him, his mother, and her own mother. In the moonlight she could see what looked to be Cupid, waiting for her, she came near, and he walked with her. With Cupid’s spirit to guid her, Aurora made it to the base of the mountain and found other whom had left the Snow King’s Kingdom. As she grew, Cupid remained with her, as a guide and a reminder of what the mountains bring.
