Although her brother, Prince Silver Star, is destined to stay in their father's pride, no one is sure what to do with her. Perhaps she will go to The Sentinel's pride.
:Five Months:
Even after she is weaned, Frosted Barrage does not know what to do with his silver daughter. For now, she lingers in limbo, not chosen to stay, or to be sent to an ally, or join the Foster Pride.
:One Year:
King Frosted Barrage decided to send her to the Foster Pride.
:One Year, Seven Months:
Chuckling, Sterling Grace tan towards the king and rubs her head under your chin, then runs away to prance around.
:One Year, Nine Months:
The weather was unusually cold for the season in the pride lands. The fosterlings huddled together for warmth and Matron Silken Spider assured them the day would pass as all days passed. Sterling Grace, one of the eldest fosterlings, herded the younger ones into crevices and hollows of logs. "Keep warm little ones." She said as she used her body to block the greater harshness of the cold.
When the majority of the cubs were herded to safety, Sterling Grace chanced to look around. She saw a <*> lion walking into the territory. As this area of the territory was reserved for the Foster Pride, and it was not unusual to see strangers herein, his presence did not surprise her.
Matron Silken Spider greeted the stranger. "Greetings sire, how may I help you?"
"Hello! I am King Jata Star. I heard from others that you have fosterlings who need homes. I ventured into the territory of your king, and as I walked toward the fosterlings I saw her..." Jata Star gestured with a paw toward Sterling Grace. "I would love to give her a forever home with the name Silver Mist. My heart soared to see her..."
Sterling Grace stared at the young king, intrigued and surprised by his words.
"I see..." Matron Silken Spider replied. She meant to say more; however King Jata Star continued to speak and the lioness, out of politeness, said no more.
In an urgent tone, he continued, "I would buy her from you. I am still new to these lands and do not understand how to price lionesses. It is hard to put a price on beauty. However, I am willing to pay any price for her! Please allow me to bring her into my pride."
Already concerned that she would be forced into the wilds when she was fully grown, Sterling Grace was revealed to hear the news. The change of name troubled her; however she was more than willing to do her best to respond to Silver Mist if that meant she would have a forever home.
Fortunately, Matron Silken Spider was quite experienced with such fervent commentary from young kings. She added a soft rumble, as best a purr as a big cat like her could achieve, and she replied to King Jata Star. "As my king, Frosted Barrage, commands, those who are new to the lands can request gifts of fosterlings. This is the Foster Pride. So, Sterling Grace..." Silken Spider inclined her head as she corrected herself, "....I mean Silver Mist... will be yours. No need to buy her." As she spoke, she gestured toward Sterling Grace, now renamed, and nodded to the elder adolescent to come forward.
Sterling Grace moved toward King Jata Star. She hesitated and considered him. He was quite golden compared to Frosted Barrage. Now her king, Silver Mist bowed to him and rubbed her body against him. "Thank you for giving me a home, mighty king."
So it was that she-who-was-Sterling-Grace-and-now-was-Silver-Mist joined King Jata Star's pride.
Jata Star welcomes Silver Mist to her new pride, where she will forever be honored and adored. :)
:two years and eight months:
Silver Mist is expecting her first liter with Khasr (#25708). She is very excited to have her first set of cubs, and is excited to see what cute little cubs she will produce!
