Pride:The Queens Garden [#91177]

[Arrived: October 1st, 2021]
[Departed: October 13th, 2021]
«──────────────── «« ⋅ʚ✯ɞ⋅ »» ────────────────»
It was a scarlet moon when Vanity was born. Her mother, Iiayla looked down at her young cub as she mewled with pride. Worried since her daughter was born outside of the pride, her queen didn't seem to be angry with her. Instead, Queen Loki approached, brushing her tongue over the cub's head to show her own acceptance. Loki bowed her head to the lioness, "Your daughter will do great things one day, I just know it." A blessing from Loki was very welcome, the queen turned her gaze back to her young child, pressing her maw to the cub's head with a deep purr rumbling in her throat. "My dear Vanity," she cooed. -- A few months later, the pride had begun to take notice of Vanity's distant attitude toward her pridemates. Instead of playing with the other cubs or learning how to hunt with the other lionesses. She sat away from it all, her soft gaze focused on the distant plains of the savanna. It wasn't until she had stood vigil her final test to become a lioness that her mother approached her in the night. Vanity turned her head to her mother, bowing and expecting to be congratulated for passing the final test. However, what came next was more than a shocker to Vanity.

"Hello Dear, I need to speak to you about something both me and Loki have noticed since your young cub days," Iiayla begun, taking a seat next to her child. Watching the rolling waves of grass. "Do you want to go out and explore?" What? Vanity was lost for words, sitting with a wide gaze. Was she being punished? Did she do something to upset the queen? Should she lie to her mother? "I do, but I am not sure I will find what I am looking for out there.. I should be grateful for what I have here, I'm sorry-" "Then go my love," Iiayla cut her off with a gentle paw to the muzzle. "Both me and our queen think it will be a good idea. . We want you to find yourself. . . your truth. Find your truth and come back and tell me all about it."

Her mother turned her soft eyes to her daughter, a weak smile forming over her maw as tears flooded her eyes. "Will you do that for me? Will you go find your truth?" Her eyes flashed between the glowing orbs of her mother's before she moved to press her forehead into her mother's. "In the morning I will," she pressed closer, "I promise."

Please Note: These are the stories written by the prides Vanity has visited. Thank you all for being apart of this!

RavenFF #187871- Mammon's Pride
Decor added:Murex Chestwraps: Babelomurex longispinosus
The first pride Vanity visited was Mammon's Pride which resided in the middle of a huge basin protected by tall mountains that serves as a natural barrier on on it's North and East. The West side of the basin however, were connected to the ocean. Vanity never been to the beach before, she spend her days exploring the wetlands and the sea side which were new and exciting to the traveler. But she did not forget what she was looking for, the reason she started her journey. So after a few days of fun and excitement, Vanity bid Mammon good bye and ventured South.

Bubble Tea #205865 - Tapioca Forest
Decor added: Abandoned Cemetery
Vanity was expected in Arrowstar's pride. The local seer had seen her in her dreams and had notified Arrowstar accordingly. Vanity was met with a whole party of lions to take her to the place she would stay for the next 10 months. Vanity was shown to a cave with ledges all around. There were only 3 other travelers and two of them were inactive. Vanity was immediately drawn to Chestnut and Chestnut, in return, felt a motherly bond to the young traveler. It helped that Chestnut was as old as Vanity's own mother. Vanity felt very much at home with Chestnut around and she was extremely happy to be in Tapioca Forest.

Auris#229394 - Dial's Pride
Decor added: Pose: Neutral [F], Murex Tailwraps: Babelomurex longispinosus
Vanity was welcomed into Dial's pride without fuss, and Dial invited her to go on a expedition outside of her lands with some of her lionesses. She learned that the queen wasn't very fond of staying in one spot, so she tended to explore out.
Vanity declined the offer to explore- she was already a traveller, and she didn't really feel like talking with others too much. She stayed back in the pridelands and helped provide the pride with food.

Liutas' Pride Kirobane #27783
Decor Added: Rainbow Petal Fascinator [Right]
Vanity had a pleasant rest while she stayed in Liutas' pride. The winged king gave her leave to explore to her heart's content and leave whenever she was ready. Vanity also noticed the surrounding grasslands were teeming with flowers of all kinds, though she suspected the colder weather would soon change that. Broodmother Lorelei was more than happy to teach the traveller about the different kinds of local flora, the meaning of each flower and even helped fashion a petal fascinator for her to wear.

Aslans Pride Blackwidow#241524
Arrived: 12/1/21
Left:12/11/21
Decor: Fancy Mouse [Blue Self Astrex]
Role Given: Huntress
Vanity helped the huntresses while within Aslans pride, while out hunting with the huntresses she gained a few wounds which the prides healer tended too and they healed into small scars. She very much enjoyed her stay although she didn't care much for the other traveler Leader Auk.. She found a fancy with the same male Leader Auk had bred with and warned him about her afterwards. She had seen Leader Auk try to convert some of the prides cubs and adults to her side but none accepted. She kept her own cubs close, even though she was indifferent to others personalities she became hostile whenever Leader Auk and her new cub came close to them. Leader Auk left the pride before she did and even before then she noticed the prides king post guards at her den. She was happy to see this as she knew her cubs would be safe. To ensure further safety the king Aslan allowed her and her cubs to stay within the royal den which she was thankful for. While staying in the royal dens a small mouse fancied her and soon became her friend. The only time the mouse was not with Vanity was when she was hunting. When it was finally her time to leave she bid farewell and said a small prayer for the huntresses to keep to the ways she had shown them as she had helped them gather more prey than they had before. As she left the mouse took it's position on her head joining her in her travels.

Ljneko #114864 - The Pride of Omens
▹Decor Added:
▹▹ Rabbit Fur Cloak
▹ Appearance Changed:
▹▹ Added White Inverted Squabble onto Slot 6
▹What did she do with your Pride? (Sorry for the wall of text in advance! ^^;)
▹▹Had 2 cubs!
▹▹Levelled up (14)

▹ Day 1: Vanity trotted along under the moonshine, searching for a place to rest before the sun's rays arose. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a lioness entering what seemed to be an abandoned ravine carved out of a nearby mountain. Investigating further, she found herself in the lair of the peaceful Omens, who welcomed her with open arms. "Oh, how long has it been since we've had proper guests!" Broodmother Sasha cheered at the lioness' arrival. "Come, come, I will show you around, dear."
The broodmother properly introduced the traveller to all of the pride's nooks and crannies, from the cubs' nursery to the submales' den and even the waterfalls that adorned the hoard. Not a particularly clever move, to expose your hoard to a complete stranger, but Vanity appreciated the kindness nevertheless. The last stop was the King's den, and it took a minute before the traveller realised that the black lump on the floor was a lion, and not some eerie statue. The listless lion rose to his feet, and bowed to the lioness. The broodmother quickly retired herself, back to the rambunctious cubs.
"A traveller, I take it? ...My name is Mariard. I am the founder of this pride," the king spoke.
"I'm Vanity." The lioness bowed back. "I have been travelling in search of my truth."
"Hmm... Your truth, is it? As worthy a goal as any other." The King turned, motioning for Vanity to follow. "You might be in luck, wanderer. I do happen to have an interest in the twists of fate." And with that, he slowly faded into the darkness of his den. Vanity followed with no hesitation, guided by his voice and steps.
"..You're a seer, then?"
"That would be one name for it, yes." The king stopped in his tracks suddenly, making the lioness bump her snout into him.
Vanity rubbed her snout with a paw, slightly annoyed. "-Where are you taking me, anyhow? I can't see my own whiskers in here..." The king chuckled, then dug around under a few pelts to reveal a stash of various knick-knacks, most notably a few glowing crystals that, when unearthed, bathed the cavern in an eerie red light. "...Oh."
Mariard smiled, taking in his paws a large skull. "Well then, wanderer. With some time, and a few snips of your fur, I can possibly peer into your fate, if you wish."
Vanity immediately nodded. "I can afford losing some fur. What's the catch?" She squinted.
"...Well." Never a good thing to hear. "...Dabbling in these forces does sometimes have... unintended side effects. Changes in fur, or eyes..."
Vanity paused. There was a chance she could lose her signature spots; But if she didn't take the risk, would this journey have been for nothing? "...I suppose I can deal with that."
"Very well. You are free to rest with the other lionesses while you wait, if you wish. I'm sure they have saved a spot for you to stay the night."
Vanity turned to leave, but decided against it. "...Actually, may I stay in your den for the night? I... want to know the results as soon as possible." The lion nodded, and so Vanity tucked herself beside the king as he worked.

▹Day 2: Vanity woke up bright and early the second day, though the king was nowhere to be seen. The lioness headed out, had her share of the communal food pile, then decided to help out the pride's lionesses for the morning with their hunts. She got along particularly well with the fellow Dawn-eyed huntress named Nebula. The two spoke at length, sharing stories and jokes until it was time to head back.
On her way back from the hunt, she spotted Mariard sitting atop the mountain, casting a large shadow below. Vanity climbed up, carrying a human leg she had managed to snag in the last hunt.
"So? Any news?" The lioness set the meat down, and sat beside the king. Mariard nodded, and gestured for Vanity to look to the horizon, where the morning sun burned bright above the plains below.
"...I cannot reveal what I saw in your future, but I can tell you what you need to know to set you on the right path," He spoke, and the traveller's ears perked up with interest. "Follow the sun's first rays. Head east of here, guided by the dawn light, and once another blood moon rises over you, your truth shall be revealed to you amidst the rocky plains."
Vanity considers asking the lion what the king meant by 'another' blood moon, but decides against it. "A blood moon... that'd be quite a few days away."
"...You're free to stay as long as you need before you depart," Mariard assured her, and the lioness nodded.
Vanity spent the rest of the day with her new acquaintance Nebula, hunting and chatting.

▹Day 3/4: The third day was much quieter than the past two. Vanity, after doing her hunting for the day, went back to the lionesses den, and discreetly asked the broodmothers for a nest for the night. She stayed there the rest of the day, talking to the broodmothers and playing with the newborn cubs. There, she also met the tiny snake-eyed heir to the Pride, prince Daemian. Now that Vanity thought of it, the current king did seem to be getting fairly old; she'll probably be the last traveller he sees before retiring, won't she?
The next day, two tiny cubs joined the pride, a boy and a girl. The broodmothers quickly took to caring for the two, easing Vanity's mind when she left her nest to have some food and drink for herself. She paced to the waterfalls, standing at the pristine pool that formed between the rocks. As the traveller lowered her gaze to the water, however, she noticed a stark change in her fur color. A frigid white covered her paws and stomach (though thankfully, it did not mask her spots). She took a moment to admire her new look, when a voice from behind startled her.
"I hope you're not... too upset with the changes?" The king spoke, walking to stand next to the traveller.
Vanity spun around, greeting the lion with a quick nod. "Not at all, actually. When you told me I'd suffer changes, I was afraid it'd be something much more drastic." She looked down at the pool again. "...This suits me just fine."
"...I'm glad." Mariard purred.
The lioness crouched down to lap at the water in silence, thoughtful. If she stayed in the pride to wean her cubs, she'd be overstaying her welcome, Vanity felt. But are the plains beyond safe for them to venture in?
After she was sated, the traveller bowed to the king, and retired back to her nest. Vanity decided to stay one more day before deciding what to do about her cubs.

▹Day 5: On her last day with the Omens, Vanity went on another hunt, but this time, to gather food for her and her cubs' next journey. The blood moon would happen soon, and she coudln't afford to miss out on whatever awaited beyond. After saying goodbye to the other lionesses, the traveller stopped, one last time, at the king's den to say farewell. There, Mariard laid with Daemien by his side, teaching his heir about all the duties he'd have as king. The two noticed Vanity, and cut their talk short.
"...I think it's time I continue my journey. I came to say farewell." Vanity spoke.
"Very well," Mariard nodded. "I do have a parting gift, though. Here." The king dug through some apparel in his den, and pulled out a brown, long cape made of rabbit pelt. "It is still quite cold outside. You'll need this."
Vanity took the cape, and put it on. The rabbit ears jiggled with the motion, mimicking the shape of a mane. The lioness admired her new look for a while, before amicably headbutting the king. "...Thank you. I'll make sure to wear this."
And so, Vanity was back on her journey. She left the den, and made her way out of the rocky ravine and back to the plains she travelled. She did not know what the blood moon would reveal to her, but she'd continue on with cautious optimism.
