This cub was born as an outsider; both his parents didn’t belong in Feri I’s pride. Nonetheless, he was accepted with open paws into the cave, where many lions like him gathered together. Msitu took a particular liking to him, and immediately adopted him as her own. But.. this cub was a little different from the rest. Everything seemed off when around him; objects moved on their own, the wind was colder.. Feri I immediately dismissed these as normal occurrences, however, and promised the little kitten that he’d protect him like any other member of his family.
The cub was named ‘Mleta’, meaning ‘bringer’ as a tribute to the light that he has brought to the pride.
At 5 months, the cubs Mleta played with noticed him chatting cheerily to the shadows, as if they could hear him. Hence, the cubs started to avoid him, slightly scared of his antics.
