prompt; This lion was born in the middle of a large war. It was dangerous to leave your den to go find food. Speaking of which, there was about no food. The only food around was other lions that were killed. His mom went to find some food, but never came back. His dad went to fight in the war for the good side but once again he never did come back. When he was growing up, he had to fend for himself. He grew up no family, no friends. When he was young, he had to teach himself how to hunt, how to pounce, how to roar, how to rule, if he ever once did. When he grew up he became one of the most well-rounded lions that ever lived. He remembered doing all of this, so his backstory is not made up.

prompt; "The night I was born the very heavens came together. The moon blotted out the sun, the stars aligned."

"How can the sun and stars b-"

"My mother was a queen, she ruled with an iron fist. Her mate, my father a mere commoner." At this Kinaaz swooned, as if at the horror of such a pairing.

"I was a beautiful cub, though not quite as brilliant as I am now" Someone scoffed and Kinaaz threw them a dirty look. "The whole kingdom was jealous of me, they feared what Id become, saw me as a threat to the crown. When I was still young I was erased from history. Erased my heritage, I was outcast."

"Oh yeah? Thats your escuse for why I never heard of you?" Another glare.

"Excuse, pft. Its all true! That wasnt the end of the hurdles I went through."

"I was left with my thieving father, he tried to teach me the tricks of his trade but I had a moral compass I-"

"More like you were just bad at it"

"As I was saying! I rose above the wicked ways of my patronage, became a warrior for the enemies of my mothers kingdom."

"But alas, they didnt want female knights! I was forced to hide my scent, pretend to become who I was truly meant to be!"

"I went on many great quests! Saving villages -

"From what, a bird?"

"Fighting pirates!"

"You cant swim."

"And once, a dragon! A tall blue mighty beast with scales as tough as rock, teeth as sharp as- uh rocks and eyes as cold as stone!" The other lion cracked up laughing.

"What are you being cynical about this time?! It happened! I fought a dragon! You dont know!" Kinaaz insisted, her tail lashing in frustration.

"Honestly, you make up the funniest stories Kinaaz." The other lion stood up and beckoned towards the door. " I'm going hunting now story-teller, you coming with?"

"I suppose..." Kinazz replied sulkily. Her necklace swings beneath her neck, a large flat blue rock that some may say looks like a scale.

prompt; “She had to save herself”

This lioness is a survivor. She was born to a pride that was forged on trickery and slimy, backhanded betrayal. You couldn’t trust anyone but yourself, even your own family members would sell you out if it could benefit them. Eftirl learned these things the hard way as she was practically sold by her parents to the pride leader who would consistently set up “training spars” between two lions for his, and the pride’s, amusement. The “training spars” were more like gladiator battles, in which only one lion would be well enough to leave the battlefield. She knew she had to get away, she had to survive. Eftirl eventually manages to escape from her pride one day when the guards fell asleep at their posts. She ran hard and fast, and she has never looked back a day in her life.

To this day, no one in her past pride knows where she is, and she is grateful for it. She had found another lion to tag along with, another lion who just wanted to have a home. Beinmerg seemed like a strong leader, and he would have a large pride, she could tell, so she stuck with him as they searched for a place to start the type of pride they both had been dreaming about. A pride that was kind to each other, and a pride that cared for their young; a pride of lions who were once lost, but became found in the valley they have come to call home.

And she had come to realize that she wasn’t lost anymore. She had been broken in to pieces by the betrayal of her family and she had gotten lost trying to find herself again after the trials she had gone through, but then she met Beinmerg, and together they found a place to call home, and she became found.

She would tell this story to her children, and it would teach them a lesson of how important family, pride, and home are to a lion; it’s all they have.

pride; Zahur Pride
pride status; Royal Guardian
prompt; In his previous pride Zuberi was seen as the most loyal and widely respected. He fought off entire clans of hyenas and attacks from opposing prides. Even as a younger lion he fought off enemies that endangered his pride. When there was an uprising from within the pride he fought as hard as he could, but in the end was driven out by the new king. It was then that he was forced to wander aimlessly fending for himself. Being on his own was difficult, but he managed to keep himself alive by hunting by himself and fending off any creature that attacked him. It was these struggles that made him stronger than ever before.

During his time he managed to take some territory for himself within a small mountain range. While he never truly found anyone to join him he was still hopeful. It was clear though that he needed to find a new purpose, something to fight for again. Zuberi went out on a search for something to give him that purpose. That was when he found the Zahur Pride and the founder Kivuli. He noticed the pride on the other side of the river and carefully swam across. The river was treacherous as he fought off hippos and alligators. He fought them off valiantly and managed to make it across and impressing the queen. This is how he managed to join his new pride and became the Royal Guardian.

Despite this being the story that he tells, it is far from the truth. Kivuli knows the proper truth and sees it as unimportant for the rest of the pride to know unless he wishes them to. Despite this oddly extravagant tale the pride accepts him and appreciates the work that he does.
