Ox

(The day the heir was adopted)
Equinox was strolling along one day when the fresh scent of blood came itching at the males nose... the thought of a meal excited him, allowing him to follow it... where he found a group of cubs brutally murdered along with a few lionesses, the bodies were partially eaten by only the great ancestors knew... The noise of a bush nearby rustled...
This is where he found alone, afraid and wounded, the little fierce cub hissed and scratched at the larger lions nose, "Your quite brave little one." Equinox spoke with a softened chuckle. The young cub tilted its little head then straightened. "I'm not little!" The cub hissed.... Equinox grumbled slightly, "I'm not here to harm you.." Equinox spoke, his brown orbs glanced over the cubs wounds, and state... the cub seemed to be dehydrated. Then to allow his muzzle to lower and grab the cub by the scruff bringing the cub back to his pride where he was adopted by Odette, but mentored by the mighty king.

Ox quickly outgrew the rest of the cubs around him, aswell as his personality, the memories of his biological mother and siblings grew into hatred aswell the humans had killed them, however lions were the ones who inflicted the wounds he had once carried which are now scars.
