Borali

The humans jeered and jabbed at Borali in the cage she was huddled in, trying to ignore them she closed her eyes. Another village, another show. The humans who had stolen her as a cub had found her unique colors fascinating and  decided to make money by traveling around with her, letting other humans tease her.

While resting one night after leaving the village the humans opened the cage. Never having issues with Borali being aggressive before they expected nothing to go wrong, but as soon as the had finished opening the last lock, instead of covering back into a corner of her cage she attacked.
She doesn't know if anyone survived that night but most importantly she was now free.

Later on when she was wandering alone and starving Borali was found by a Young male called Atreus who told her about a safe place where she would never be alone or be hurt by humans ever again. Borali took to the pride life quickly and often argues with Atreus about nonsensical subjects, but most importantly she was now home.

Older age starting to show she looked proudly how the pride she called home for years has grown, many lions like her with beautiful colours walked by and bowed their heads to her out of respect. A young female laid beside her, her daughter Lamia. It was like looking in a mirror.

She knew her end would be any day now, but surrounded by the ones she loves and not in a cage.
