100 words (minimum) about their territory/where their pride will be built/how they achieved this territory:
It is, in fact, after his own death he was able to access a safe haven for his pride, suspended in the sky. A rogue lion with no pride or shelter wandered, surviving on his own day-by-day. Having traveled for days on end in search of water and a sustainable food source, he was exhausted and hungry. His head spun as dehydration overtook his body and soon there was only darkness. When he arrived, everything was black and empty. He was suspended in the air and became fearful, expecting an impending doom, which never arrived. Having grown impatient and his fear lifted, he took a step forward into the abyss.
It was then that clouds began to form around him, expanding vastly, creating the illusion of trees and rocks made from fluffy white clouds. He gazed downward and noticed that the darkness had dispersed and now only the haze of the foggy autumn air remained. And among the clouds, he was no longer the only one, he was haunted by the ghosts of sinners, who mourned their own deaths. Gentle weeping could be heard but images of each spirit flickered in and out sporadically. He felt confused by what he was seeing but determined that he was in Purgatory.
He was not the same as the other ghosts, who were absorbed by their own despair. He was given a second chance at life in Purgatory, separated from both reality and the heavenly realms. He was aware of his lonesome life on Earth and felt a sense of purpose on this realm, he felt it was his duty to protect the realm and all those who dwell-- or will dwell in this realm. It was then that his decision was made-- he would continue to live among the spirits and rule this realm until the day more of his "chosen people" would come forth into the abyss and manage this realm alongside him. He called this realm "Nafasi". [ 329 words ]
