Anhora wouldn't consider himself too materialistic. However, he does treasure one thing over all else.
Fables. Stories. The ability to create and think up worlds on the spot, the intricacies of relationships and careers, religions, legends, the entire creative aspect of stories is what Anhora treasures. Without these stories, the world would be a very bleak place. Cubs would curl up at night staring at the sky or a wall, nobody to tell them the magnificent tales of kings before them. Aspirations would be dulled down and lowered, nobody would have heroes and ideals to look up to and aim for; morals would be repeated tirelessly to misbehaving cubs who ignore and avoid - instead of represented through attention-grabbing tales! Stories are precious, Anhora likes to memorise as many that he hears as possible to retell them to new generations and keep them going, to keep the spark of creativity alive.

Username: Kitten-Girl-500
Lion name: Chrysos
Lion gender: Male
Pride: Summitfall Pride
Pride status: Spathi - armorer
Prompt: The most important thing to Chrysos is his mate, Mirri. He doesn't care much for material things, like jewels or power. All he wants is to spend time with his beloved.

Their courtship was an interesting one. Ever since Chrysos had first joined Summitfall, he had been smitten with Mirri and her beauty. He had to get creative with his attempts to impress her, as he's not that much of a talker and is better with grand gestures than speeches. With his fellow armorer Coho's help, he was able to forge a special breastplate for her that fit her perfectly. Mirri appreciated it, but to Chrysos' dismay, she thought it was just a nice gift from a friend.

He then had to resort to more elaborate gestures. He worked day and night on the most detailed set of armor that he had ever made. Chrysos didn't know how to make anything else, so he had to stick with what he knew. When it was finished, he hurriedly presented it to Mirri. She was shocked when an entire armor set was shoved into her face, but she recognized the time and effort that Chrysos had put into it, and she revealed her feelings to him as well. Since then, they've been happily mated, and Mirri uses her armor most every day. Still, she loves to tease him about it whenever she gets the chance.

[QueenOfWyrms]

Username: QueenOfWyrms
Lion name: Avilion
Lion gender: male
Pride: Uaill Aislingean
Pride status: Fògradh/Anam
Prompt:

[168]

Above all else, Avilion treasures strength and tradition. He did not grieve when his father became a Fógradh (exile), for his father did not have the strength to challenge his uncle. The only flaw he saw in the equation came in the form of why. Avilion seethed that his father was not exiled for his weakness, rather he was exiled for believing in the Seann Lagh (Old Law). For Avilion‘s father had raised him to believe in the Seann Lagh, which demands that only the strongest lion may lead the pride—only he who leads may eat of it‘s prey, drink of it’s water, lay with it‘s brides. Upon his uncle‘s death he believed he had a chance to crush this disgusting monogamy and providing for those to weak to lead. However, his cousin, a lioness was named Rìgh. All his values, stomped on and crushed, reared up and he raged against her, challenging her for the right to lead—and promising it would be a fight to the death.

Lion name:Johari
Lion gender: Male
Pride: Mystic Isles
Pride status: Guard
Prompt: Johari treasures others and how kind his new pride have been. He treasures the new relationships he has with others, the other two guards and how they are always joking around, he treasures how he is accepted even though he can sometimes seem feminine. But what he treasures most of all is how two of their pride mates are kind enough to clean his den and bring squirrels when its raining so that Johari doesn't get too hungry. It just shows so much wealth of character and heart that others can be so nice, it makes Johari wish he could just collect all the golden hearts of the pride to show off. Though that sounds a little creepy so maybe not. (121/250)

[Frisco]

he better treasure my heart because he stole it

Username: Frisco
Lion name: Sebastian
Lion gender: Male
Pride: Night Watch
Pride status: Concierge
Prompt:
His greatest treasure are secrets of the royal family. He earned their full trust and became a trusted adviser, a steward and a secret keeper. From the smallest thing to the greatest ones, romances, lies, curses, whatever befalls the royal family, he knows it all. Even the king isn’t privy to as much information.

It could be catastrophic if he ever decided to share some of their mysteries, like the fact that the princess of the Moon was adopted and does not have any royal blood.

However, he takes pride in his role and is honoured to have the family’s trust and will keep protecting their glory.

After MUCH thought, I have decided that the winner of this silver and gold fellow is Nia The Elf. Your description about the importance of stories and tales spoke to this writer's soul.

I will also be awarding RUs to Kitten-Girl-500, for a cute tale of love and craftmanship, and to Frisco for taking the prompt in an entirely unexpected direction. Well done both of you.

And well done to everyone! I truly loved all of these stories, and it was really hard for me to chose a winner.

[Nia The Elf]

Thank you so much Snapshot! I'm glad you can relate to that too <3
