Sialis

You have wandered for hours. Your paws are cold, the snow started falling a few minutes ago and the wind is making you even colder than you already are.
You end up meeting a lioness. She stops in her tracks and waits for you. As you get closer, you can make up her thin silhouette. She has lovely curves, a slim head and ever so clear eyes. She looks so pure.

"Hi !" she purrs out. "I am Sialis, mother of hidden beauty."

"Mother of hidden beauty ? What does it mean ?" Is it a title she gave herself maybe ? Or is there a real reason behind this name ?

Sialis smiles at you and it is the prettiest smile you've seen. "Look, traveller." As she speaks out those two words, flowers grow out of the snow. They grow around her paws, wrap around her thin waist and crown her head.

"Wow..." That's all you manage to let out.

"I was rescued from the tree. Hexapoda took me in, he saw something in me. He gave me the colours of heaven. Its colors as well as its powers."

She speaks soflty, like a gush of wind blowing on your mane. She is from heaven for sure.

"Are you an angel too ?" You ask. There are so many angels in every den, maybe she is one of them.

"I am no angel." She lets out a cute laugh and you smile even though you don't know why. "I can barely birth a tree, let alone save a lion or protect the territory. If it is an angel you are looking, there is the guardian of this den. His name is Chionea, you will find it on the top of this mountain."

You look at the mountain Sialis pointed at. It isn't the tallest but it certainly is the prettiest. Nice, let's go there then. You thank the lioness for her time and get on with your journey.
