Story:
If someone would have told his fiery lion four hundred years ago that he would have found the love of his life, Malakye wouldn't have believed them. And yet, here he is, with a mate and soon to be a father. Malakye has been with Despoina, an lioness from the Angelic event, for nearly 300 years now and it would be a lie to say it's been easy. Back then in his early years, all Malakye had dedication to was his job as a tracker. Nothing else seemed to matter - until Despoina wiggled he way into his life. At first, it simply began as casual talks after he arrived back from a mission outside the Pride but conversations were few and far between, with Malakye not being particularly talkative and Despoina a mute at that. The embers of love didn't start to flicker until he had to start bringing Des back to safety as she wandered outside of the safety of the Pride after he told her stories of his adventures. Feeling responsible for putting her in danger, and she unable to protect herself with her element of Color, Malakye took it upon himself to keep an eye out for her. It became a game of sorts - Des would sneak out to find him on his travels and he would have to drag her back - though to his surprise, Malakye didn't mind and actually began to look forward to each time she would run off in search of him. Throughout the years, it has been a slow going relationship but it blossomed into something Malakye could have never predicted. Each new milestone the LOC reached - Blood Moon, Lake, Dreams, Time, and more - were all personal milestones that have allowed the couple to grow together and Malakye wouldn't give it up for the entire world. After the TIme event, the two have actually learned to communicate through hieroglyphs and runes in their own personal language with the help of Nehemiah, a lion who had learned them on Earth. The doors seem to be opening wider now and Malakye doesn't want to step back to what it was like before he met her - so it was a good thing his best friend Nunebis introduced the two of them. He isn't much of a sappy, lovey guy, but Malakye has become overly protective of his mate and even more so since she has began carrying his children. He still doesn't know what the future holds, or if he is able to love his future children with the same strength he can Despoina, but be damned if he won't try. Before her, romance seemed pointless and not meant for him - now, he couldn't imagine living without her.
