A tall, mysterious lion with a distant gaze. No one knows where Duerme comes from, not his pride, not even his closest Queens. This lion was known to wander the lands before becoming a King, a lone lion who made his own path. He never caused any trouble, only staying to pride borders, hunting and eating before moving on, returning to his home in the mountains. It was when he was crossing the desert on one of his outings that he came across a lioness, nearly dead and whom had given up. Duerme took pity on the lioness, traveling the long road home with the grown lioness on his back. He returned to the mountains with her, learning her name, and claiming Abría as his own. That was the beginning of his pride, Duerme taking in forgotten and abandoned lionesses despite their pasts and defects. Some tried to reject his claim, but Duerme kept his claim on them strong, and each ended up giving in. However he does not force himself upon them, and allows the lionesses decide their times. He expects respect and holds a firm paw on his pride, but is benevolent and gentle with his lionesses and young. This King often goes off alone, patrolling his territory, and it's hard to guess what he's thinking, but know he will always return and tend to his pride.
-You are sitting straight near the den's entrance, uncomfortable with uneasy eyes as you watch the pride interact. You'd just been taken in by the pride and knew no one, only that their King had saved you and had brought you to this pride. Your eyes flick to Duerme when he entered, his eyes also landing on you before flicking his tail for you to follow. The night air greets you as you both walk out, yourself relaxing a bit in his presence. The King answers your questions, and you soon find your savior is a soft spoken man, not as intimidating as his appearance suggests. He gently licks your shoulder, where a scratch from earlier lay.-
"Don't worry, you're safe here. I'll never let any harm come to my pride."
