♥ 𝓡𝓮𝓰𝓲𝓷𝓪 ♥

♥ 𝓡𝓮𝓰𝓲𝓷𝓪 ♥ was watching you intently as you told her your plans for watching the border tomorrow. She seems unconvinced you can pull it off, however. Sigh.

You offered a snack to ♥ 𝓡𝓮𝓰𝓲𝓷𝓪 ♥, and she took it after sniffing it for a while. Then you see her giving a chunk of it to a different pride mate later before eating the rest herself. Oooh, so that's how it is?


Today some crazy, small pink King met me on a patro. I later learned his name was Hex. Hex tried to bring me home with him after learning my king was trying to sell me, and for all I know I would’ve been killed or abandoned. I took Hex back to my king, and there he pulled out some gold beetles. One after the other he offered them up, just for me, until finally my king had excepted.

‘What’s your name?’ Hex asked me on our trudge to his pride.

‘I- I don’t know…I never had one, I was always called by my mutation just cuz I’m different.’ I responded.

‘Well, can I name you?’ Hex asked me. (YES you can change her name just change the dialogue) I pondered for a minute before giving my permission.
‘You know, you do quite look fit enough for a king, let’s call you Regina.’

Regina…it rolled off the tongue, and that’s a long tongue to roll off of. ‘What does it mean?’ I questioned.

‘It means Queen, one day maybe you will be fit enough to rule beside your new king.’ Hex purred.

Wait, I thought Hex was going to be my new king- was I just going to be passed around again? Lost in a forever never ending trade? I hadn’t realized I suddenly stopped in my tracks, and I was crying.

‘Regina? My sweet little mutie, you needn’t worry.’ Hex swiped his tail over my face and turned around, his nose to mine. ‘I know someone, a fellow king. He loves your kind, and it is the most secure him you will ever find. I promise you, you’ll be well taken care of.’ Hex licked the tears off my cheeks. ‘Now dear, let us continue shall we?’

We walked and walked, I felt like we were going nowhere. Maybe I was being kidnapped, taken to the middle of nowhere to be murdered just for some karma…it seems this king has killed before, but maybe there was a reason. Though the thought sat in the front of my mind, I slowly pushed it to the back and away as I watched Hex. He walked regal, head held high, one paw in front of the other, and the light sway of his body like a crocodile swimming through water. It was peaceful.

We entered a deep green cove with dark trees everywhere. It was eerie, and ever eerier was the glowing yellow eyes peering through a bush. I realize Hex disappeared, I must’ve lost him!! I ran, and in my panic I didn’t notice the unit of a lioness jump out in front of me. I ran into her face first and got a mouthful of taupey-saffrony fur. Hitting my back I feel paws on both my shoulders, and weight was applied. I curled my paws over my nose and tucked my chin into my chest.

‘Oh dear Dasher!! Don’t hurt her!’ I heard Hex gasping. I peeked through my paws and saw the lioness, Dasher I’m assuming, looking off to the right. I peer over and see Hex trying to catch his breath. ‘Please, she’s a gift that has a gift.’ Hex spoke as Dasher slowly removed herself off of me. I scrambled to my feet and shook myself off, dust caking my fur.

‘A gift…?’ Dasher looks me over and notices my tongue. ‘My, I apologize! For ᛖᚠ︍ᛖᚱᛗᛟᚱᛖ? Let’s go then.’ Dasher said.

We traveled the rest of the way to ᛖᚠ︍ᛖᚱᛗᛟᚱᛖ‘s pride, and I had never met so many like me. ᛖᚠ︍ᛖᚱᛗᛟᚱᛖ told me I could only stay a little while, and I played with everyone. I caught a flash of pink out of the corner of my eye whilst tussling with Little Space, Hex was leaving.

‘Hex! Hex wait!!’ I shouted as I bounded up to him. He stopped and turned to me, and I jumped up on him wrapping my paws over his shoulders and nuzzling my head next to his. ‘Thank you,’ I whispered, ‘so much!’ He’d dipped his head, and we bid each other farewell.

ᛖᚠ︍ᛖᚱᛗᛟᚱᛖ Later took me elsewhere, where I had to stay for a little while. And I made friends there too, I’m finally happy.
