Cosmos

The sky looks dark as you wander the land, unsure why as it should be midday right about now. After a bit of looking around you quickly assume why the sky seems to be ominously dark and why the air feels heavy.

A black lioness with bright purple markings sits some distance from you, seeming to groom a crow with somewhat similar markings. Besides the markings you notice her eyes glowing ominously white, looking almost as though their on fire. You shakily greet her and ask who she is. To your surprise she she seems a little flustered for words, unaware you were nearby until now. "O-oh, ah, h-hello. I'm Cosmos u-uh.. How uh, how are you?" Her words come out in an awkward fashion, causing the unsettling feeling in the air to collapse in on itself. You relax as you realize she's just a semi-normal lioness, just with a less comfortable air around her.

You tell her you're doing alright and ask her the same thing. "I'm doing alright but man I'm feeling old lately. My first cub is an adult now, an adult! Isn't that wild?-" she goes on for some time about some of her recent thoughts. You sit and listen the whole time, feeling more comfortable as time goes on. Eventually she stops and sighs loudly. "S-sorry.. Not a lot of lions talk to me." You can understand why.. You tell her not to worry as she seems awfully nice.

Right after that however you decide it might be time to leave as its starting to grow silent. You wish her luck making more friends and she thanks you. You wander off from her, watching as the sky lightens slowly the further away you get. You wonder what make the land so dark around her.. Maybe she's a little more than an average lioness, who knows.
