Admani had been commanded by Vestia, the goddess of fire, to come to this pride. Admani was a far away descendant of Vestia, and had been told she must come to be their guardian. Admani had grown up under Vestias wing, always safe. Admani knew that Vestia owed the sun goddess, Solani, many favors… and that this was the reasoning behind why she had to go to this, she had to admit, quite small and humble pride.
But Admani was not a fool. She recognized the divine blood and blessings of the seven goddesses right away. She was told, as she slept, that she must venture towards in the direction of the sign that would appear when she woke up. She must watch over the first pride she ran into in that direction, and become their guardian.
When she awoke, the tree that she had been sleeping under was ablaze. Red, yellow and orange twisted and twirled around it, little flying sparks of gold falling to the ground. But in what direction should she follow? The wind pushed to the south. So that’s where Admani went, walking, leaving the goddess’ sign behind her to burn.
Admani walked for days, resting only enough to sustain her body. She owed this to Vestia. She must make it there as soon as possible. The night before she arrived, Vestia and Solani arrived in her dreams. The darkness ignited, and two bodies stepped out, lionesses, no, goddesses born from fire and flames.
“Your bloodline must look after this pride. I, Solani, goddess of the Sun, cannot look over this pride by night. This is where you come in, Admani, my dear. For Selena pushes me underground until I can arise again. You must make sure no harm befalls this pride while Selena casts her starry gaze upon it. They must not know who you are…” and with that, the flames vanished.
So Admani ventured into the pride. Vestia had trained her well. Before the king knew what hit him, she had managed to secure a position as head Broodmother. She would work the night shift. Perfect. No one seemed to notice how each lion here, in this pride, was special. Different. But she mustn’t go against Vestias wishes and reveal all to them. She must watch and wait. But for now… Admani just enjoys the darkness. After all, fire shines brightest in the dark.
