prompt; The sky was beautiful. The birds soaring through the sky though? They weren't just beautiful, they were free. And, ever since she was a little cub, Aeranas had longed to be like them. The birds were free where Aeranas was not. Or at least, Aeranas never felt free. So, Aeranas promised herself that one day she'd be free and that, despite never being able to soar through the sky, she promised herself that one day she'd run over the fields without a worry.

When she did get to the point that she felt free, she tried befriending the birds. It didn't work, for the most part, most of the birds not seeming to care about the lion. There was one bird that seemed attached to her though. A large barn owl would often sit on her shoulders. This specific bird was old though, and sadly Aeranas felt like the bird's time was coming up soon. Still, she was very much happy to have him.

Everything about Ndge screams Bird-lover! Her Companion Is A Jay And Soars Beside Her On Starry Wings. She Often Watches Her, And Wishes She Could Fly Above The Clouds, Above Her Insecurities, Above Her Worries And Responsibilities! Ndge Also Has A Stone With A Drawing Of a Bird Ensnared in The Walls Of Her Cave. She Often Tries To Imitate Their Calls (And Fails Drastically!). If She Had One Wish She Would Ask To Have Wings.

Steinia owns two black crows, and they come around almost everyday.
Steinia started to notice that after her hunts, two crows would follow her home with the food. She thought it would only happen once, but once it started happening more and more often, she began to tear little pieces of food off for them.
Soon, the pair of birds would follow her around even without food, and perch on her shoulder.
The other lions did not like this at first, and would shun her when they would come around, as they were bad omens.
One day, Steinia did not return from her hunt, but the birds did. They cawed and cawed at the entrance to the dens before Kopa, the founder, decided he would sent a search party out for her.
The party did not need to search much, as the birds flew and cawed in her direction. Soon, the party heard Steinia's calls for help, and rushed over to her. A large boulder had fallen at her feet, leaving her stuck there, and the two birds stood waiting for her on the hill, cawing at the lions, obviously very stressed that their "owner" was in trouble.
After taking a long two hours to free her, she made it back to the camp by dark with nothing more than a broken toe. Ever since then, the two birds have yet to leave her side, and caw in the direction of water, food, and even on one occasion, a stray cub in need of help. She still feeds them, and the pride will even set aside scraps and pieces for them to eat after their meal.
The birds, named Huerans and Ophelia, are welcome members in the pride now, and are even given honorary ranks, known as "Bird Meddlers".
