Pride: Lions of the Waves
Pride status:
Prompt:

When Flint was only a few days old, hunters ravaged his pride. The lions were killed, captured, or scattered, and in the confusion Flint was left behind. His tiny mewling cries drew the attention of other local predators. A pack of wolves from the nearby forest found the cub. One of the females took pity on the little thing, and since she had recently birthed pups, decided to raise him along with them.

So, Flint grew up as a wolf. He always knew he was different, he grew much larger than his littermates and his voice never quite howled as cleanly as they could, but he was loved. The pack taught him about the importance of family, and how to hunt, and about the deities of the wolves.

"Do you see that constellation, Flint?"

"Yes mum."

"That is the Star Wolf. He watches over us from the spirit realm."

"Even me? I'm not a wolf."

"Even you, because you are my son."

Flint loved his adopted family. But he couldn't help feeling like something was missing in his life. He grew too big to play with his siblings, and no longer fit in the wolf dens. He felt clumsy. He couldn't run down a deer as easily as his pack mates. He decided that it was time for him to go out and find a home among creatures like himself, to learn how to be a lion.

"How will you know where to go?" One of his brothers asked.

"I will follow the Star Wolf. Mum always said the Star Wolf watches out for me too, even though I am a lion. Maybe it can lead me to where I belong."

The pack was sad to see him go, but they understood his need to understand himself and fit in. His mother gave him a necklace, a string of deer hide with a carved pendant made of bone. "So you will always remember the Star Wolf, and the family you have here."

Flint set off, the pendant bouncing against his heart as he ran. It was a beautiful night, with clear skies that seemed to make the stars sparkle brighter. Flint looked up to the Star Wolf, and where its nose pointed. When he looked down, he saw several translucent wolves running around him. They raised their muzzles and howled together, then moved faster, ahead of Flint, leading him onward. At the head of the pack was one wolf who glowed more brightly than the others, and had sparkling stars in its fur.

Days and weeks passed. Flint slept during the day, and followed the Star Wolf and his messengers at night.

They led him to a shore, and out onto a jetty. There, they howled again, before racing off across the waves and disappearing.

So then, this must be home.

Pride Status: Huntress
Prompt:
Born in a desolate valley to a group of lionesses without a king, Bacova's pride struggled to survive. They were originally from a thriving pride that had a large amount of land, but when the king fell and the land lay waste to ruin, the new king had expelled them from the land for remaining loyal to the original true king. Lost and confused her pride became nomads, not claiming any land of their own but instead spending most of their day sleeping, and their nights walking, hunting and staying low to avoid detection.

As they traveled through area after area, they came across a valley filled with water, food and shelter. In the night the pride came into the valley and began hunting the animals that lived there. During their hunt they came across a lioness who had then alerted her pride to the intruders. Quickly cornered with nowhere to run, they were brought to the rulers of the land to determine their fate. After discussion between the prides, it was determined they were allowed to stay.

Bacova was accepted into the pride as a youngster, and has always admired the rulers of this land for accepting her and giving her family a much needed home. Despite her appearance, the pride accepted her willingly. She had become friends with many cubs her age, and soon joined the ranks of the huntresses as she grew up.

Lion Gender: Female
Link to pride: Red Eagle
Pride Status: Knight
Prompt:
The lone survivor of the fall of her pride - Vani wished she could say that she fought tooth and nail to escape from the battle happening in her home, but she could not. Hyenas and Jackals, canid warriors who invaded the new pride's territory in effort to win the land over - they were freshly banded and didn't have the power to defend themselves. Navani was strong, and she was quite big and imposing, but to say she joined the other lions bravely in battle would be a lie. They were outnumbered, she could see that from where she hid in the thick gorse surrounding their camp.

Vani was scared and the only thing she could think to do to get away from the demise of her pride was to just run.
She could hear snarling and yapping behind her, chasing her towards the edge of the territory, nearing closer and closer -
A shadow passed over Navani and she ducked to the ground swiftly, watching as a russet lioness leapt overhead and crashed into the jackal pursuer - Vani covered her eyes.

She couldn't see them, so they couldn't see her. She was safe. She was a coward, she just lost her whole pride. She pressed her paws harder to her eyes.

"You can stand up now; open your eyes." The lioness looked down upon Vani, brows furrowed.

The jackal lay a small way away, so Vani eased herself to a standing position.

"Thank-thank you.. I lost my pride to them," She had to look down slightly at her rescuer, "But thank you for saving me."
Lumis introduced herself, and in turn, extended an invitation to join her own pride of Red Eagle.

"I ran from my own pride when the attack happened, why would you want me?" Navani looked away, bowing her head.

"We look after our own, we teach our own and we build eachother up. There will be other's there to protect you, in turn we will help you build up your confidence - there's always things to do for your own skillset. Let us help you Navani."

Pride Status: Huntress
Prompt: Makai curled herself into a ball as she watched the ominous clouds from the relative safety of the rocky ledge she was hidden under. That wasn't rain. That was Lightning. The last time she saw clouds like that, an entire forest became ashes. An entire pride became ashes. With no warning, a lioness emerged from no where. Beautiful gold spotted fur and a brown mane. Makai remained quiet as she watched the lioness look around, seemingly searching for something. Her eyes landed on Makai and lit up. Makai bristled slightly as she bared her fangs ever so slightly. The gold lioness' green eyes still smiled, warm and inviting as she eagerly pranced towards the wolfish female. "It's gonna storm, you know. This isn't a very good spot." The blonde spoke, bubbly and bright, dropping her head closer to the red lioness to smile at her and speak softer. "I know a better spot though. Wanna come with me?" Makai stared at the lioness before slowly rising to her paws and emerging from her makeshift shelter. She remained silent, listening to the golden lioness' birdlike voice as she was led to the safety of the lioness' pride lands, far above the land that may or may not burn.

Lion name: Atlas
Lion Gender: Male
Link to pride: Mountain Pass Pride
Pride Status: Hunter
Prompt:
Atlas is a thrall to wanderlust. Since he was just a cub, he’s been filled with the overwhelming urge to travel, to explore. As soon as he was old enough, he left his natal pride for the great unknown.

His quick exit had nothing to do with fact male cubs are sent away from the pride as soon as they can fend for themselves.

So Atlas explored. There are a great many wonders in the world, he has found. The place he was born was all wispy grasses, spiny plants, and land roving birds. But the world has so much more to offer! He’s been to the sea. The shore had been soft, shifting sand as far as the eye could see. The water a mysterious dark blue, and would go up to his chest only a few feet from shore. But the real excitement was at night when streaks of light danced through the water farther out from shore.

Despite the many intriguing, beautiful, and terrifying places Atlas has seen, he has never felt the desire to settle. No, the wanderlust still had a grip deep in his bones.

The one thing he kept coming back to was the sea. Its majesty was truly indescribable. So he wandered far and wide, but regularly wandered back to the sea. He came to many different shores: beaches and cliffs and everything in between. It was while wandering inland from another visit to the coast that he met Quartz. She had been out on one of her regular excursions from the Mountain Pass territory. She was friendly and kind though he was a stranger. Atlas was no brute, but her cheerful attitude and kindness were infectious. He stayed relatively close after that. He still roamed wherever he pleased, but now he had a second thing to keep returning to. They met on and off when she was traveling and he was passing through. After two years of this, she invited him back to her pride.

This is silly, she’d said. Instead of missing each other, why don’t I show you where to find me.

And that was how Atlas was introduced to the Mountain Pass pride.

Lion name: Okami "Wolf"
Lion Gender: Male
Link to pride: EchoLake Pride
Pride Status: Hunter
Prompt:

Okami comes from a pride of wolf-like lions. While there are no wolves in the ancestry, they have greatly taken inspiration from the canine predators in day to day life. They hunt in packs, communicate with loud calls, and young leave the pride as soon as they are sexually mature. It was a happy life for Okami as a cub, he and his mother usually had first access to any kill and they were protected by the ‘alpha’ male, his father.

As soon as he was of age Okami was ready to leave the pride and start his own. He was excited, it was every male’s job to start a pride, find a mate and raise lots of cubs with the same bloodline. He spent months out in the wildness exploring everything out there, not going in a certain direction just whatever felt right. Somehow, he didn’t find any other lions, especially any females. He did however find a few not so friendly bison, moose and coyote. It seemed everything was out to get him but Okami remained positive, his mother had always told him there was a light at the end of the tunnel and all his work would be awarded one day.

Finally, after six months of exploring he came across another lion. A tan coloured lioness with a peculiar green tinted tail, nose and eyes. He was wary at first, just because she looked friendly didn’t necessarily mean she was, he didn’t know where she was from or what their pride did to stranger lions. She appeared to be a scout as she inspected different areas and reported her findings to another darker coloured lioness. Throughout the day Okami used his fur as camouflage to hide and watch the pair.

However, it didn’t take long for Okami to make a mistake. He was in the process of following the pair when he tripped over a tree root. Landing awkwardly on his paw he let out a quick whine of discomfort. With that his cover was blown. He could see the pair of lions turn in his direction and in a fit of panic he tried to take off in a sprint but was stopped by a pain in his front paw. Whining again he started to limp.

“Wait!” There came an angelic voice from behind him. Flinching he didn’t stop and kept limping away. “We’re not going to hurt you!” Came the voice again, it was extremely soothing and gentle. Deciding he wouldn’t get far he stopped and turned his attention to the two lionesses. The first female had a kind smile on her face, Okami deducted that she was the source of the voice. She then continued to talk as she walked closer to him. “I’m Ravina from Echolake pride and this is Layla.” She informed. “What’s your name? I see that you have an injury, if you would like to come with us our healers can patch you up.” Okami was wary, they seemed nice enough and he knew it would be hard to hunt with this injury, maybe he could just stay until he was healed up. “I’m Okami, I come from a pride far away and am travelling on my own.”

With that the lionesses escorted Okami back to their pride where he was welcomed, and the healers helped him. It was hard for him to adapt to the normal life of a lion, but it didn’t take long for him to decide this is where he would call home.
