VintageMemories 🎞

Long lineage but seemingly clean 🌹

Katelyn lay beside her, her last king seemed to have little to no interest in her. It's unclear as to why she was rejected from her pride but Katelyn believes it's due to her blindness.
Katelyn would lick her ear, "My time is coming close..."
She'd sigh, "I know... I can sense the change in you. I won't be around much longer...."
Katelyn would lick her ear again his touch was soft, "When I pass on. I want you to breed with a male from another pride."
Vintage would gaze up at him with her milky white eyes showing slight confusion, "Why so My King?"

Katelyn would sit up, Vintage would adjust her weight off of him.
"Look-... We know that Golden Gazer will be my heir. I'd like a mate for him, you and him are not blood." Katelyn puffed out his chest slightly as he took a deep breath in.
Vintage would look out at the landscape, not like she could see it but she knew it was in the opposite direction of Katelym.
"I thought-... He's like a son to me-... It's a bit odd..."
The aged king would nuzzle her chin with a low purr, "I want your genes to be passed on in my pride."
The lioness would look away again, "Then why didn't you take my Son...."

Katelyn looked down at her, his soft mood changing to a slight annoyance, "You Know why..."
Vintage would loud towards Katelyn's face, "Because he wasn't as strong as the others-..."
She would look down towards her paws and let out a long tired sigh, "I-...I'm sorry..."
Katelyn scoffed, "Sure... He wasn't as strong... But I Know he's out there leading his own pride. I wouldn't have sent him out on his own if I thought he'd be in danger."
Vintage would press her head into him, "I-...I know-... I just don't want to be alone again."
The king would look down at his lioness with a calming expression, "Vintage... As long as you are here you will not be alone. Just because I'm passing on doesn't mean the pride will forget about you."
Vintage licks his cheek, "At least I know I'll be with you soon."
Katelyn's ear would turn a slight pink, "I'll be waiting... take your time..."

The two would spend the rest of the night gazing at the stars. Well... Katelyn would at least.
