Hel was a grumpy cub, she always had been that way, and her mother knew that she didn't have many friends in the pride, and that was the most important thing in a lioness life: to be able to be part of a working team, and for that, you needed to be at least friendly, and Hel wasn't. Her mother decided to teach her how to survive alone in the outside world, because she was convinced that one day, Hel would run away from her pride.
And she was right... when Hel saw the massacre of her fathers, she started to run to the dessert without a second thought, sure that the rogues wouldn't follow her that way. What she wasn't aware was that the rest of the pride adolescents would follow her.
Her mother taught her how to survive in the desert, how to find jerbils, and the places were water appeared just during the night. But the desert is a selfish place, and doesn't share enough to feed a lot of creatures. Thats the reason why there were so few lions in that place. They were too much cubs to survive, and soon the first of them died, proving she was right.
The oldest male cub, the one who were going to be the heir of the throne, that bully bastard, accused her to be the responsible of that death. But she didn't ask them to follow her, that had been their own dessision. She was really angry with him, but, as always, she kept silent. After a while, she decided to speak, because in fact, she was responsible of their safety... she was the only one who knew how to survive there.
"We can rest here, under the shadows of these rocks, and keep walking east during the night"
The male cub look at her with despise and said: "You want that some hyena pack find us during te night and kill all of us?. No way, I'll keep walking during the day, and I'll be out of this damn place tonight, keep those hyenas for you if you want."
Hel saw him run though the dunes, followed by those fools... all wasting energy in a stupid race. She went to the shadow near the rocks, and saw the two twin sisters came near her, looking afraid, but trusting in her.
Why? Why do those two odd girls trust in her? They were not even friends...
During that night they found one of their former pride members died, half covered by the sand. She was angry with that asshole, but at the same time, she was sad for him, and his stupid actions. She kept walking in silence, followed by the twins... like a colorful double shadow after her pawprints.
The morning that Bejeque saws the green mountains covered by the myst, she thought everything have worth the effort, and thank her mother for teaching her, she wished her mother had a good life in the new pride. She smelled fresh water and gazelle scent... They must to go there, rest and try to hunt to recover strengh enough to think how to survive until they were able to be worth for a pride. But that could wait... now they needed to search for the water.

Hel saw a fast movement in the grass, she turned and saw five lionesses snarling, and a big vandal male staring at them with cold eyes, studying them, maybe deciding if they worth his attention, or just let the lionesses to kill them.
Hel look at her pride members, scared and keeping close to each other. How pitiful they seemed. She snarled and roared with all her strenght against the closest of the lionesses, and swipe at the brown one... to be put down in the dust with a quick movement of the older lioness. Hel saw the brown one ready to gift her a lethal bite, when a slow voice said:
"Wait, Selva." And the brown one stopped inmediatly, frozen in expectation. Hel saw the big vandal lion speaking in low voice with a grey lioness, looking at her for a moment, and leave. The grey lioness stared at her and the twins, studying them... all lionesses waiting her words... she must be the queen of the pride. The grey lioness approached her and said: "We like your attitude, young girl. If you want, you could stay here and be part of the Dark pride." She look at the twin sisters, with a hard sight. "But you two must leave. You have two sunrises to rest, after that time, we will come back, and if you two are still here, we will kill you."
The lionesses started to leave the place, and Hel look at them, unsure about what to do. Suddenly, an old dove grey lioness smiled at her and said: "Get this chance, come with us." And the dark brown one who fought with her said: "Or just die outside in the desert, that up to you."
Hel look at the twins, with the desert after them, and look at the lionesses, leaving the waterhole, probably in their way to their den.
And she ran after the adult lionesses, decided to not looking after her pawprints.

Hel saw Belrod and Ancor walking together away, and Greya and Ceniza stared sadly at them. "You know he is not going to come back." Said Greya, the oldest lioness.
"Yes, I know today the sun is going to set in his reign, and mine with him." Said Ceniza, the Dark queen.
"Are you sure?" Asked Hel. "Ancor could choose you as his queen. You have been a good consort, and a good queen."
Both lionesses looked at her, smiling like if they knew some secret that Hel was unaware."Look Hel" Said Ceniza. "When Ancor look at me, in his eyes in Belrod's queen. And I'll always be that for him. He can be the sire of my future cubs when the times comes, but he'll never be comfortable with me being his queen. I'll be one good hunter, a good mother, one of the wise lionesses in the pride, as Greya is, but not Ancor's queen. He needs an equal, a lioness that helps him, and respect him, keep that in mind when he come back."
Ancor came back alone that night, and asked her to be his queen. Hel stared at his scared face, and saw respect in his eyes. He was the one that give her the chance to be a part of the Dark Pride. He was a good and strong lion.
And she would try to honor his trust as his queen.
