Crown of Rubies' cub name comes from her mother's name and her multiple crimson markings. Oneisha told of their legacy being their mother's greatest. For she bore four cubs and as her name was the Treasure of the Four Crowns this was an auspice birth. The king agreed. He named his cubs accordingly and wished them the Lady's safety while they dwelled in his lands.
So the cubs grew in the Storm Pride. They were a close litter and did everything together.

:One Year, Ten Months:
Crown of Rubies awoke from a dream to find Sorcerer Sphinx in a vision. The fierce master of visions and twisted trances. He spoke to her, saying: "Bring me 10 rawhides for my ritual. You can obtain them by using your carcass as a rawhide source."
She searched for them and used food to create them. The sorcerer replied: "Thank you, Crown of Rubies. Your piety for the ancestors has risen by 3. The ancestors will grant you boons with the piety that you obtain from my quests."
:One Year, Eleven Months:
Her training continued. The Sorcerer gave her another quest: The Ancestors require the help of a mighty lion to prevent humans from desecrating their remains. Find them. Do what you want, just keep them away.
:Mid Autumn (Two Years, Three Months):
The Sorcerer Sphinx came to Crown of Rubies on this day. He said, "I need you to prepare an Ubulawu mixture for a spirit trance. Please gather 3 Ubhubhubhu and 3 Uqume. The spirits will reward you for your help."
She checked the pride's herb collection but found it lacking one of the herbs she needed. So she went away in search of Ubhubhubhu. When she found them on some trading branches, she brought them back to her master.
"Thank you, Crown of Rubies. Your piety for the ancestors has risen by 2. Now, I require 10 Honeybush stems to put myself into a trance and guide the lost spirits."
The young lioness bowed to hear the new request. So, she went off and searched for the Honeybush. She went to the trading fields and offered Dream Root and other herbs in exchange for Honeybush. Finally, she obtained all that she needed for her spiritual quest. "Thank you, Crown of Rubies. Your piety for the ancestors has risen by 3.... now, finally on this day I need 10 units of Umganu to calm a restless ancestor. Seems like his bones were picked by hyenas."
After a long day spent at the trade fields and hunting through the territory for the Honeybush, Crown of Rubies was grateful to discover the pride's store of herbs had enough to complete her final quest of the day.
