Sphinx

You feel a little uneasy as you explore through the Humid Oasis- it seemed almost absent of life as you wandered, very few lions inside. You approach a relatively small lioness, her fur glistening an odd indigo color, almost as if her fur was a small piece of space. She smiled at you as you drew close, her sapphire eyes seeming to lack energy as she greeted you with a friendly purr. "A newcomer I see. Don't worry, there's more lions supposed to be coming here soon, but for now, it's just me here. Well, that aside, I'm Sphinx," she smiled, her gaze parting from yours momentarily as she batted at a small beetle scrabbling over her paw. Despite her welcoming smile, she looked rather sad, her blue eyes slanted in a way that made them look rather mournful. "Though I'm a popular pick for Tarnished, from what I know of, most of my children have been left for dead... Tarnished is rather, erm, eager, for a lion with a mutation, lets just say..." she said slowly, looking around as if to check if anyone else was listening. Hastily shaking her head, she heaved, letting out a heavy sigh. "Well, my hunting rotation is up soon, and you probably don't want to listen to my boring rambled anyways, so I'll be on my way. Have fun exploring, and.. be careful," her voice lowered as she warned you, giving you one last fake smile before quickly padding out of the cave.
