Backstory - written by Velvet #465211
Despite many clan members always complaining about Atlas’ antics and whereabouts, Aphrodite remained calm. Nimue, also a calm and docile lion, couldn’t be bothered, knowing well how his kid works: Atlas’ might be lazier, but you should never judge her smarts. Compared to other cubs of the pride – some spiteful and spoiled, others calm and behaved – Atlas couldn’t fit in a specific type. Lessons and training were never her strength, as she was always finding a more interesting activity to pay attention to. Though, her eagerness and surviving skills were undefeated. It did happen for her to go missing for a whole day, scaring her mother to no bounds and making the pride’s broodmothers go on look out parties trying to find the missing cub, just for her to reappear randomly throughout the day, all giggling and unharmed. No matter how many times she’d get scolded by her father or aunties, Atlas never changed. But there was a single fact that others simply could not understand: regardless of her disappearance and small “trips”, P-Body could always find her sister’s location. This was a true wonder, which surprised even the eldest pride members. Though, Aphrodite would cast a glance towards the two sleeping cubs, huddled up to her side during the coldest nights, and she’d smile sweetly, before starting to groom their silky pelts.
“Leave them be. It must be a true gift from the skies. There cannot be a stronger bond than two miracles born simultaneously.”
The tigon cub’s eyes glanced over the herbs, her claws hitting and scratching at the tree bark. She was focused– more focused than towards any hunt, more focused than towards any fight. She already got a taste from all mushrooms growing onto the trees in the area, but she only found red ones in this one. When it came to herbology lessons, she was first in line, glowing orbs boring into the teacher’s body as she carefully noted in her mind every drop of information. Now, it came to good use. She knew she needed to find one more type. Atlas sampled most, except for one. The corkwood tree simply had the answers. With one final effort, the root of the brown mushroom broke and it fell at her feet. Licking her lips, she quickly munched on the mushroom, tasting the sweet and earthy aroma. The world seemed better when she was doing this. Her father would call it some form of escapism, but she truly just enjoyed the feeling of the woods dancing around her, of how the leaves were falling into slow motion and the skies were shifting colors. She fell on her fluffy bum, her whiskers twitching once, then twice. She did not pay attention to the peach striped cub sneaking behind her.
Then, with a precise jump, P-Body made her presence announced as she playfully bit her sister’s ear. Atlas, overwhelmed for a quick second, let out a sound of protest then allowed her twin to tumble her over. They both broke out into giggles, P-Body grinning from ear to ear.
“It’s my time to ruin your play time-! Whatchu ate this time? Your eyes are all round. It makes you look silly!”
Atlas meowed as she carefully pushed her sister off of her, P-Body rolling to her side, showing her white, mottled belly.
“You’re the silly one because you act like this even if you didn’t eat anything! At least I have an excuse.”
“Dad sent me to look for you. He said he doesn’t want you to miss dinner again. Proper dinner.”
“Or did he send you to make you my bodyguard?”
“You know I would never tell on you…”
And that was the truth. Even if P-Body was known to be the perfect cub, she loved her twin more than the world. Nothing could compare to the company and warmth that she can get by staying with Atlas…she made her life colorful and less dull.
P-Body got up, her petite head brushing against her sister’s cheek, a tender purr emanating from her chest, while her tail wrapped around Atlas’. Her twin, positively impressed by this show of affection, started purring too, allowing P-Body to cuddle into her side.
“And you know you are the dearest to me…”
