The trees were thick with insect life and the humid tropical air was heavy on her shoulders. She grumbled about, miserably. Heirquin had decided to take a small rest on her journey on the outskirts of a jungle pride and soon learned that leaf litter was very itchy when stuck between your toes. Luckily, the lioness had befriended a small peacock she named Arnold. Hopefully, she could hunt some dinner soon; she wouldn't want to lose such a good friend so soon.

While on her travels, Heirquin would come across a large pride of welcoming lions. The local king, Cerbahu, was happy to offer her food and a warm place to stay. While she was there, she met many interesting lions, and plenty of cubs. Unfortunately however, during her stay, one of the brood-mothers of the pride, Kuwa passed on, and though Heirquin would give her condolences, she would soon move on to allow the pride their time to grieve.

Story: Heirquin decided to lay under a tree to rest from her tireless journey. Hungry she looked around to see if she saw anything to kill. In the distance she sees a small hare running across the fields. She bolts towards the hare and catches it. Happy, she starts to consume her meal and as she eats she spots a old male lion resting in a watering hole. She decides to approach. "Hey! How are you doing!" The male turns and smiles saying, "Hey! Sorry to disturb you." The two get to talking and Heirquin learns his name is
Baklava. Baklava steps out of the water and walks over to a bag resting by the bank. He pulls out a flower from the pouch and places it behind her ear. He says, "For you! To take on your travels." She thanks Baklava and heads off on her journey.

Story: Heirquin, for lack of a better place to stay, wound up in Melinoes pride. Her cubs had just been born when she arrived, and they permitted her to stay for three months, so that her cubs would be better prepared for travel. The brood mothers took care of her cubs, and the pride provided food and toys for all three of them. There, her cubs were names; Thalia for the female, and Sojourn for the male. The pride told her these were good, strong names of travelers in the past, and that her cubs would live prosperous lives with them, and so she decided they would do well for her cubs.

Story: Making the decision to move on was quite tough for Heirquin, but she knew her cubs were in safe paws. As she traversed the vast lands ahead of her, Heirquin was met with a fanged lioness, slightly older than her. She didn’t appear to know these lands quite well either. The lioness introduced herself as
Kira. “I’m a traveller.” Kira said with a smile, her fur cloak wavering in the slight breeze. Heirquin chuckled, “Me too, my name is Heirquin. Shall we look for a pride together?” Kira nodded enthusiastically, leading the way.
After a few hours, the two came across grassland territory, stretching into the plains. “I reckon we’ll find a pride here.” Heirquin spoke hopefully. The truth was, she was starving and still slightly affected by having to say goodbye to her cubs. Kira could sense this, however, and offered Heirquin some beautifully crafted turquoise earrings. Offering, Kira pierced the earrings through Heirquin’s ears and grinned at her. “Look at that! They match your eyes a bit. C’mon let’s find this pride’s leader.”
Feeling cheered up, Heirquin continued on with a heightened spirit. Eventually, the two travellers came across
Mgando, a kind Queen who treated both Heirquin and Kira with hospitality. Heirquin spent a few days in the pride before feeling the need to move on once more. Kira had fallen pregnant with Mgando’s cub, and decided to extend stay for a short while, in time for the cubs to grow. Parting ways with Kira, Heirquin left the land of the Kiburi Pride and was soon on her way once again.

Story: She found herself in a mountainous region, encountering
Drei and their pride. She stayed with them for a while and found the monarch was... doing arts and crafts? Strangely, despite their aggressive nature, the lion was spending time doing a 'fun, relaxing weekend'. She enjoyed participating and, with their help, made a fun decoration to take with her on her travels.

Heirquin staying longer than planned because something happened.
Name:
Andreas
Days stayed: 4
Decor added (Optional):
Lore: After staying a bit longer than she would usually at her l
Previous destination she finally moved on to
Andreas Rose’s pride, bringing her new travelling friend
Sol along with her.
She and Sol hadn't met until recently, though because they ended up in the same pride and got along well they decided to travel together at least to their next destination.
The first lionesses the two met were
a mysterious lioness, W.F., Succubus, and
Aliras, who were out hunting.
“Hey! Who are you two to come onto King Andreas Rose’s territory!” Succubus hisses, clearly not wanting them here
The lioness with no name puts her paw over Succubus’ mouth “Shh, what did I tell you about acting before thinking?” she says before looking at the two “Sorry about that, Succubus has a bit of a temper” after she says that Succubus sits with a huff
“It’s alright, we are encroaching on your territory, after all” Heirquin says with a smile as Sol nods in agreement then asks “We are travellers, would it be ok if we spent some time in your pride?”
“Hmm... I don’t know... We’d have to ask King Andreas” W.F. says, a little bit nervous about all of this
“W.F., you don’t need to worry, we just had a traveller here earlier, remember? I’m sure Andreas won’t mind” She flicks her tail calmly, she seems to be the only lioness in the pride to just call their king “Andreas”
“That’s great! Can we meet him and ask for permission?” Sol asks
The unnamed lioness nods “Come on” she says before turning to walk back to camp “Aliras, why don’t you come with me? You two can continue the hunt”
Aliras nods and follows her as W.F. and Succubus continue on with the hunt
“It’s nice to meet you! I’m Sol” Sol says “and this is my friend Heirquin, we’re both travellers, we just happened to travel together this time around” she smiles
“It’s nice to meet you both” the unnamed lioness says
“Could we know your name?” Heirquin asks, it seems only natural considering they just shared theirs
“She doesn’t really share her name with anyone” Aliras explains “she’s pretty mysterious and cool” she smiles
“I see, that’s alright then” Heirquin says as they enter the camp, where they see Andreas talking to
Lilac while
Gaia plays with her tail
“Andreas, these two travellers are wondering if they can stay here for a while” the unnamed lioness says, making Andreas and Lilac turn their heads to look at the four of them
“That’s fine” Andreas says, he looks quite scary and has a reputation for being savage but he seems nice enough
“Thank you very much!” Sol says with a smile
“It’s no problem, travellers interest me so I like seeing them” Andreas replies to them “You two are welcome to any food or toys you need, I store them in that den” he says, flicking his tail toward his storage den
“Thank you!” both Heirquin and Sol say in unison, looking forward to their stay here

Story: After departing her recent stay with Andreas along the way she also departed with Sol, taking different paths Heirquin ended up on the border of a hyena pack. Unsure if she wanted to continue on or just turn back, she was stopped by a massive and terrifying primal male. He circled the beautifully bright decorated female asking where she came from and why she was at the border of his prides territory.
“Your territory? But i can smell the stench of hyenas. You live with them?!” Heirquin asked shocked. The primal whose name was Javayara stood up proudly, “They are but a mere nuisance. My pride and I take care of them. But I see you’re alone, are you traveling or a scout?”
Heirquin explained her situation and as much as she would prefer to run far away from Javayara and his hyena filled territory she was exhausted and in need of some reat somewhere safe. She ended up following the huge male lion back to the center of his territory and was welcomed by many lionesses and cubs. One dark female who seemed to be the Queen to Javayara walked up to her almost inspecting her. “We’ve been attracting some traveling lions lately, what is it you seek?”
Heirquin was unsure of how to answer. She wasn’t sure she was seeking anything but new adventures and lions. All she could managed to say was she was looking for somewhere to rest.
The Queen named Kali stared at her judgingly, before showing Heirquin where to rest and offered some food. Heirquin was shocked to see the rest of the pride and how they interacted. Lions and even the cubs sparring, many of them had scars from battles. Some were possibly seriously fighting, she could not tell. Then under her feet a small cub was running with a hyena skull. Once the cub realized she was above her the cub growled and pawed up at her. Heirquin backed up as she seen one of the brood mothers reward the cub. They were definitely a ruthless pride and Heirquin questioned whether or not she should just leave now or sneak out in the middle of the night
She attempted to rest her eyes for a while and managed to sleep until nightfall.
Heirquin felt better and decided it be best to sneak out now as she knew these lions were not what she set out looking for. Just as she was about to leave Kali bumped into her and before Heirquin could speak Kali threw her a rat carcass. “For the road, I could tell this was no place for the likes of you when you arrived. Javaraya has good intentions but I swear he’s anything but observant when it comes to you travelers. Hopefully you find what you’re looking for. I may suggest taking the path north, we cleared it this morning shortly before you came.”
And with that Heirquin set out once more not daring to look back at the Navaraya Pridlans. Hopefully the next pride she comes across would be much more friendly and welcoming.

Story: Heirquin made her journey through with tired paws. She had considered herself lucky to escape from the previous pride full of hyenas. She still couldn't wrap her head around how that was all possible. Finally, she made her way to a pride and a large primal male found her on the borders. He introduced himself as Cersei and asked if she was a traveler. He went on to explain how the pride was no stranger to traveler and were in fact hosting a few. Heirquin nodded and explain how he was right and that she was a traveler, explained her previous adventures and why she was found at the buttcrack of dawn and so tired. Cersei took no time at all to usher her into the pride lands and gave her food and shelter.
Once she had slept for some time she awoke and stretched. She mingled with the pride and learned their ways. Learning that they hardly ever turned away someone in need. They had only done so once before or more to the truth had to chase a traveler out who had contracted rabies. The pride had attempted to help the poor thing but it was too far gone and they couldn't risk the cubs getting injured. But that had been a long long time ago. She shared her stories with other travelers and enjoyed playing with the cubs.
Then the drought set in. Water and food were getting scarce and she felt terrible continuing her stay even though she was told it was no problem. Finally, when four more travelers arrived at the border she thanked everyone and went on her way. Only to pass by a lioness she knew and had met before.
Mysterious Lady. They greeted each other and she decided to stay one more night before making her way again sharing her meal with the emanciated-looking friend. Bidding farewell to the other travelers in hopes of meeting them again one day she set off.
