Queen Trelra

My first lioness.

You walk over to the elder lion and introduce yourself. She looks at you with her sunken eyes and smiles. You realize how much she smells like dust and just dirt in general. Trelra notices you staring at her muddy fur and gives a throaty hoarse laugh. She offers you some sun-dried meat and offers to tell you some stories.

Do you accept her treat and tales or decline?

ACCEPT- You gleefully take the snack and sit down as Trelra tells her story, and how she met the king. She describes being a new adult, and being abandoned by her pride. She described the sweltering sun beating down on her pelt and the feeling of her dry mouth. Trelra tells of coming across a tan-ish lion with a lemur on his back. How she followed him home and was given a place to live and food and water. You stop listening to what she's saying and just focus on her gravel-y voice. You can feel the sound of her story resonate inside your chest. You get chills. Soon, Trelra finishes her tale of how the pride came to be and she leaves you to get some rest. You lost track of time, it's just after sunset! You wander home in the twilight with Trelra's voice running through your head.

DECLINE- You decline the offering, saying about how you really don't have the time. Trelra forces you to at least take the sun-dried meat, in case you get hungry later on. She gets up and goes to the mouth of the cave to watch the sun set, letting the lasting beams warm her dusty fur. She looks up to the few stars starting to show, knowing soon she will join them with her king too.
