As the firstborn son of King Thjorvyn IV and Moonshine, Night was destined to leave his birth pride to rule over his father's after him. His mother was the king's favored wife, so for their son to suddenly take the place of the current heirs was to be expected; however, the heirs of the pride at that time, Thjorvyn V and Thjorvyn VI, were infuriated with this turn of events. To ensure that their position would be secured once more, they made their way over to the still-adolescent Night's birth pride and made an attempt on his life. The younger lion was easily overpowered and dragged away from the safety of his cave by the two skilled heirs, and they beat him savagely, leaving him for dead at the edge of his territory.
It didn't take long for someone to notice that the young heir was missing; his mother was a rather worried individual and often awoke in the middle of the night to check on her children. When she discovered that her son was nowhere to be found, the ruckus she made was enough to rouse the entire pride in moments. Multiple parties were sent out in search of Night, and when he was found nearly dead at the edge of their territory, surrounded by vultures, it wasn't hard for them to guess what had happened to him. He was quickly rushed to the pride healers, and they worked tirelessly until dawn, his mother especially.
The healing process was slow and tedious, and although guards were constantly positioned near his den, Moonshine couldn't help but fear that her husband's heirs would return once more to finish the job and end Night's life once and for all.
You see Night puff up and strut in front of the lionesses, confident of his dashing looks. You feel slightly annoyed.
You bump chests with Night. He's your bro!
Night struts up to you and you greet each other as equals. You later puff up a bit at his nerve.
You hear from another pride mate that Night was telling them that he could beat you in a fight. Oh really? You'd like to see him try.
