To adopt this lion, you must either:
1. Have a founder, be at least level 1, and have enough space to accommodate this cat
2. Or, you can adopt this one as your founder!

This is Iris, oracle to the mortal world for centuries. Unlike other oracles in her day Iris chose to serve mortals instead of gods and deities (A more profitable job for any oracle in that time).
She was cursed to be stuck on her hill for decades, maybe even centuries before being freed.

To win Iris simply tell me what the future will look like for her in your universe.

*You are not obligated to keep Iris as her character from the event and may change her name/story as much as you wish for the prompt and in your pride

Ends: Sept. 30th Oct. 7th

Group Status: Founder/Leader
Prompt: The curse had been lifted; I was freed from my burden. For so long they called me the Oracle - the All-Knowing, the All-Seeing.
I never wanted that life. To be cursed with such knowledge only deities should know... It's not pleasant in the slightest. People chalk it up to be this great thing and it's... It's really not that extravagant.

Have you ever had to look a broken mother in her hope-filled eyes, just to tell her that no, her son would not be coming home - he would never even make it past the front lines of war? That he would be cut down just as quickly as a moth caught in a flame? To hear her cries of anguish, to hear her beg, scream, plead with the gods that it couldn't be true - that her beloved son had to come home, that he'd never had the chance to really live...

It does things to you. Breaks you mentally, emotionally, until you're nothing more than an apathetic husk. I would wish such a fate upon not one of my most hated enemies, and that's saying something. You do not want to be cursed with unforeseen knowledge - it is not a fate you want. Trust me.

In my new life, the others asked me what I would do - now that I'm free from that accursed hill. With a smile, I stated very simply:
"I quit."


It has been around four months since I last spoke with another pride. I have done some self searching - Iris the All-Seeing is no more. In her place now stands the proud, mighty Metronome, leader of the Wicked Finks Pride. And he, while not omnipotent, is a true leader.
Though we of the Wicked Finks are few, we are strong. We can weather any storm that attempts to blow away our stick houses; we can fight, and we will win.

I stand before you today, not as some All-Knowing Oracle, but as an equal. I am not some innately gifted foreseer who is above all else, blessed by the Divine to know and only to know. While I still have these abilities, they do not define who I am. This fate does not control me - only I do. And as such, I shall let it be known that I resent this talent; thus, I am rebuking who I once was and saying "No more." I will ignore these visions of destiny. I will not let them bind me again.

As the leader of the Wicked Finks, I decree it to be so. And as it were, a true leader never goes back on his word. That, my friends, is a promise.

After all that had happen, Iris felt it was time to head to a new place for the time. She had been her for some time and a change of scenery would be nice. She chose to follow one of the hero's had also relocated after the titan battle. The idea of a tropical getaway seem nice and she was looking forward to something new. She had joined a pride that was connected more with the sun and moon and their need for balance between the two gods she choose to come along to see what she can do. She received a tribe name Ka Hidea which she goes by Hidea more so and embraced the new life style. She found her gifts allowed her to help communicate the wished of the ancient father and mother and the respective daughters *the pride leaders two mates , to get along better a she mitigate and help find a common ground. She gives advice to those around her and share he wisdom with those who seek it. She over time changed in a more positive direction and felt lighter. Though what happen with the Titan will always be with her she was a new person and has even help the hero of the pride heal and over come things as well. She is very happy with who she is and tends to enjoy watching the cubs play on the beach. Though a cubs of her own was something she never desired she enjoyed helping out with every day life and lending a paw when needed. To her all she needed was herself and a mate was not something that sparked her interest. She finds that she had made herself at home in the forest with one of their Demi-godesses of Life and Death. She has been a good friend and sometimes breaking away from the pride aloud her time to breath and be on her own. ( 323 )

Prompt: Iris looked between the groups, her tattoos shimmering in the sunlight.

"Give me a quick moment," She said, turning around. She uncapped the small glass bauble she wore around her wrist. She tossed the items in the jar onto the rock. Items clattered about the stone. She quickly glanced over them, trying to see what her life would be like if she decided to join them. She saw the Ushirikiano Pride first.

There, she would live... normally. A standard pride life, consisting of hunting and occasionally gathering some herbs. She would have chosen to give up being an Oracle, since the pride didn't really have a position for that. But she would keep her items with her for sentimental value. Eventually she'd end up finding a mate and settling down with them, but their face is blurry.

That life didn't really appeal to her, so she looked into the group of cats. Her life there would be different, to say the least. It would be much harder for her to find food that was large enough, without encroaching on the neighboring pride's territory. She'd grow weak from lack of nutrition, unable to hunt, and require food to be brought to her by the cats. She would try to keep up with her Oracle duties, but being so malnourished, her mind would be fuzzy and unable to focus.

Iris hated the way that sounded, and finally she peered at the possibility of joining the kingdom of Agía Foliá. Underground, she would be the main Oracle, teaching the last one left how she reads the future. The other Oracle would help her learn dream magic. She would be helping with the repair and upkeep of the Odmorište, giving the souls there as much comfort as she could.

Iris opened her eyes and turned around. She nodded at Laku and Zářivý.

Prompt:

"The God of Sight," the Demon King declared before everyone, giving a sweeping gesture toward Iris, the oracle. Iris stepped forward, offering a bow of her head to the crowd of immortals, deities, demons, and gods before her as she accepted the title and status had been granted to her. When she raised her head once more, she wore a warm smile.

Finally, she had become a god. Finally, she had found her home.

Time had passed.

In the aftermath of the battle against the titan and the sorceress, the curse had finally been lifted from Iris and she was free. Free to leave the hillside and finally live her own life once more. However, all of her dear old friends had been released from the hillside before her and were on their own adventures now, with new friends and new places to be. Too much of the world had changed while she had been trapped on the hillside. Everything was strange and unfamiliar to her. She knew not what her own future would hold.

Just as the oracle was finding herself even more lost than before, and almost afraid to actually leave the hillside for good, one of the heroes that had once approached her and even stood amongst the crowd as one of her believers, had come to exchange words with her once more. Ghost had invited her to stay as a guest within the Celestial Heavens and Iris had eventually accepted the offer.

It seemed like a long time ago now, although not all that much time had passed.

At first, Iris had truly only intended to stay for a short while, allowing herself to take the time she needed to sort out her thoughts and feelings, so that she could make a decision about what to do next. Where she would go, what she would do. But the longer she stayed the more at home she felt.

The Celestial Heavens was a strange place. It was not unlike the hillside she had been trapped on for so very many years, as the heavens did not change all that much, although all of the worlds outside of it had changed so much throughout the passage of time. Or so she had come to realize, as she exchanged words with those within the heavens, and read through their texts.

Just like her, many had experienced living through years and years, far longer than a mortal's lifespan, and through a great many of different changes within the outside world. Because of the similarities, she felt comforted during her stay with them and did not feel so out of place. Iris realized that even though her situation was a complicated one and she had an existence that was not like that of a mortal, like she had been born as, that she could still find a place for her.

Now, much of her time is spent experiencing new things and learning all about things that she had once forgotten.

Winner! I really loved the idea of Iris finding a home with others like her and finding she wasn't as alone as she thought after all.
