WIP!![add art here]The monarchy holds strong
Foreign lands and foreign sights it belongs to
The King stands strong
those foreign lands and sights his own
as well as a prince
And what of the prince?
Does it stay strong?
Or does it perish?
Does it flee?
Does it descend into a darkness?
Gently it goes down, down down into foolishness and frenzy
into madness
What happens with madness?
What happens to the prince?
The Monarchy does not hold strong
Foreign lands ad foreign sights burn under an inferno
The king lays dead
Those foreign lands and foreign sights belong to scavengers
And what of the prince?
The prince sings of revenge gone right
News travels fast of a mad prince to the north. A prince who was mistreated by the king for a long time. Long enough to drive him to insanity. So insane, that some say he burned down the small portion of jungle that his pride lived in, killing the king.
A strange poem has been passed on from tribe to tribe, some suspect the dying words of the pride jester. A tale of a revenge of sorts, Haulani isn't sure what to think. Even worse are the rumors.. that he's heading south, towards them.
days go by
Is he getting closer?
Some speak of vultures following is every movement. Others say the sky darkens. Cubs start whispering about him when they play, to them he's a monster but a myth. Haulani fears that they are only half right.
Two weeks later a lookout says he saw a spotted lion in the distance. Three days pass before he is seen again, it's not a lion.
Then they lose sight of him. For a week. The cubs are kept indoor the warriors are ready. And then, fur glinting in the sunlight, no dark clouds or vultures, he walked into the pride.
"May I speak with Haulani?" That's all he says, no threats no greeting. Haulani knows he must speak with him.
He is no monster Haulani realizes as he looks into his eyes. He is hurt and sad, he looks worn down. And then Kepano, the supposed devil from below, cries. It's quiet at first before Haulani realizes. It's heart wrenching. It's not a sob but it is filled with so much emotion.
Kepano looks up then, Haulani sees that he has the eyes of someone who has witnessed tragedy.
[art here]"My home.....it's gone" Kepano chokes out, looking back down in shame. "I-I didn't mean to... I meant to get back at him-" His voice breaks off.
Haulani comforts him. Both lions had their homes and lives ripped apart by fire, the true monster.
"This is your home now, you will be okay."
