prompt; Medallion was always a lion who knew what he wanted. He knew exactly where to stay, what to eat, who he wanted to be friends with. He had life all figured out.

Until Shandura came on the scene.

She was the prettiest lioness Medallion had ever seen. After just a few visits, Medallion was completely in love with her. And when she invited him to join her home pride, how could he say no?

The lion inched along the cliffside, trying to figure out a way down. He had just escaped an ambush of a rival pride, and ran. Why was he so stupid? Now he was stuck, lost, and his ego had been murdered. Not that he had much of one in the first place. His siblings were always putting him down, and because of that, he'd ended up with a low ranking. Forager! Who cared about plants? They're just green things.
In his sulking, the lion had slipped and started sliding down the cliffside, gaining speed. After he had stopped falling, he grumbled and stretched his sore body.
He looked around and growled at the nearest tree, swiping at it. He froze when something near him growled back, then many more. He flattened his ears as he looked around for the approaching enemy, but no one was there except for a couple of colorful birds. Were there ghosts? No, that's stupid. Right?
Suddenly paranoid, the lion started walking through the forest. But soon, he was bolting through the trees, wanting to get away from this haunted forest.
He saw sunlight shining to the left, and turned immediately, hope filling his paws and pushing him faster. A vine hidden on the forest floor unbalanced him, and he stumbled into the light, his eyes adjusting slowly. Too slowly.
A heavy force pounced on top of him, and a voice asked, "How in the stars did you get here?"
The lion growled and pushed the voice off. "I came down here on purpose!" he snapped, looking at the blue-gray lion in front of him. He was quite handsome for a lion, and had a small rabbit at his feet.
He giggled. "Okay, well you're here now. What's your name?"
The lion was baffled. No one had asked for his name. For all he knew, low ranks didn't get names. "I... I don't know." he mumbled.
"...Um, I'm Willow Stones!" the lion looked at him strangely before his stormy eyes lit up. "Do you want to join my pride?" he asked.
The lion looked around for other lions, but this Willow Stones seemed to be alone. "What pride?"
He frowned. "It's only me for right now, but if you joined, you could be my second in command! Willow Stones... and uh, you!" Willow said, walking away with the lion close behind. The lion looked down. Second in Command. That was a lot better than forager.
"Okay, then. I'll be Second in Command." he agreed.
"Great! But you need a name," Willow looked at the sun setting behind the mountains, "I guess I could go to the Willow and see what they think." he squinted.
"They?" the lion asked. But Willow grinned and kept walking.

The stars glimmered overhead as Willow Stones scrambled up a boulder, shooting an apologetic look before disappearing over the ledge. After a few long minutes, Willow jumped back down and purred, “You’ll be called Forest Runner, the guardians are watching over you.”

Malai slowly prowled the edges of his prides territory. He was watching out for lions from a rival pride. And so he sat, watching, waiting for something to happen. It was very boring, just sitting there. So he decided to go hunt. After all, there were other lions nearby. He was sure that nothing would happen. It didn't take long for him to find something, or to kill it. As he was eating, another lion, Lula, came running up to him frantically.

"Malai, where were you?!" She exclaimed.

"Uhhh... hunting?" He replied uncertainly.

"While you were gone, some of those lions we were supposed to be watching out for showed up and started attacking us," She said, glaring at him.

"What? Is everyone alright?" He asked, getting up and pacing nervously.

"For now. But they're heading for the camp. Come on we have to hurry" She said, racing away from him. Malai was quick to take action, and soon overcame her as he ran toward the camp. The grasses flew by him as he continued.

Thank you so much!! The funny thing is, when I finished the first draft, it was over 800 words... so I had to change the ending quite a bit for it to be able to enter!
