Queen Panem - The selfish
--
Panem was always a vain, proud, selfish and arrogant lioness. She born in a great pride, only of fierys. The cubs that didn't born with the fiery fur were chased away. Their mothers cried and screamed, but Hiatus, the king of the pride, was too strong, so, the lionesses couldn't fight with him, it would mean death.
Well, Hiatus was Panem's father. And her mom, a pretty fiery, named Urbi. Urbi was sweet, maternal, kind, gentle and careful. Otherwise, Hiatus was strong, cruel, ruthless. No one could argue against him. Those who did aren't alive to tell the story.
In the day that Panem was born, everybody was anxious. That wasn't the first cubs of Hiatus, but everybody knew that the only thing Hiatus loved was Urbi. She loved him back, but she tried hard to stay strong about what Hiatus was, that big bad lion. She tried don't cry about it or be sad. And that was the first children of Urbi. She was scared, but trying to stay calm.
After so many suffering, Urbi's labor is done. She just had one cub, a weak and small female. Hiatus came in the den.
- She's so pretty... - Hiatus smiled. When he was with Urbi, was totally different; a sweet and careful lion.
- She looks like you. - Urbi said, sweetly.
- With your panther mark and dorsal line.
Urbi couldn't be any happier. Now she was a momma. But something was wrong... She was bleeding. And bleeding so hard. When Hiatus saw, she was still smiling, but sleepy.
- Are you ok? - Hiatus said, worried.
- I'll be fine.
- I'll call the healer, anyway.
Some hours passed, and Hiatus was so worried. No news about Urbi. The healer came to him.
- Hiatus, your cub it's perfectly fine. But...
- What about Urbi? She is fine?
- I was going to say it. You have to be strong, Hiatus. Urbi died.
Hiatus started to cry. No one ever saw him that way. That strong and cruel lion, crying.
He ran inside the den, and Urbi was still there, lifeless, with her little cub in her belly.
- I'll protect you, little one.
Panem grew up spoiled, vain and proud. The fact that she don't had a mother made her that way. And without a sweet momma, in that decaying pride...
Before she was two years old, she left her pride. Her father was sad, but he knew that she had to do it.
And she traveled for too many places. She traveled until she became adult. And survived. She was strong, because she trained so hard with her father. She could be that arrogant, spoiled princess, but still had something on her. Hope. And love.
In one of her explorations, she invaded Talahari's pride. There, she met a lion, named Vertigo.
- Stay away, idiot. - Panem snarled.
- Keep calm, grumpy! I'm not dangerous! - Vertigo answered.
- HAHA how could you be dangerous? I am dangerous. I could kill you right now.
- So, why don't you try?
- I'm too tired to lost my time with you, idiot.
- Are you alone?
- Is not your business.
- Well then, grumpy. I can let you stay in my pride, if you want. But you have to cooperate.
- Okay. I'll stay a little. But remember, idiot: I can kill you if I want.
Panem don't stayed a little; she stayed her whole life. She felt in love with Vertigo, so as he. Panem became his queen, and a great and elegant leader. She also became his grumpy.
