Vontoni

At one point, Vontoni was considered a blessing on the pride; she was powerful beyond words and if there was something someone wanted changed it seemed she was the lioness for the job. When Sonos asked for wisdom she provided, when Sar'tagio asked for youth she gave him his wish, when Oton demanded a longer life she relented to his requests, but these beliefs would not last forever. Vontoni was always a drifter, she never stayed one place long and didn't need a lion to provide for her, but that didn't mean she didn't like company. The shaman would often spend a few days with the pride before disappearing for months. Things stayed this way for three years, where she was a much-debated unknown, until she came back escorted by Oton and pregnant. She gave birth early, whether by her own potions or by happenstance no one can say, but of the litter was born a singluar boy. Voly'no. It was no doubt that he became what would be her legacy. Vontoni continued to show up through the cub's youth until he reached adolescence. She seemed unhappy with how he was aging, and told her son to drink of a draught she had made. When it pained the youth greatly the awestruck vision of Vontoni shattered and became one of cautious suspicion. She continued to provide what was asked, but now very few lions were brave enough to ask for anything. What really turned the tide was when she provided a potion for Eirene. The dwarf had requested something to make her have a dwarf of her own, someone small like her, and Vontoni had provided on the basis that no questions would be asked about the potion's ingredients. The potion worked, Eirene bore a litter of three and one of them was a small boy. She was in love. When Eirene was returning her more loud-minded cub to her nest she quickly became panicked. He was gone, her beautiful son was missing! So was Vontoni. The pride began an immediate witchhunt of the shaman, attempting to track her and the missing dwarf down. No success. Vontoni had made off with the small cub scot-free, and she was never seen or heard from again. She is presumed dead.
