A short dialogue between Eternal and Asura
The two lions stood side by side on a high ridge, watching the colors of dusk fall over the pride’s territory.
“Look out there, Asura. These lands are more than just territory; they’re our past, present, and future. I’ve watched over them for many seasons, but the years weigh on me now.” he spoke softly, the age creeking in his voice.
he nodded his head slowly, glancing at Eternal with respect “You’ve been a remarkable leader. There’s no one the pride respects more.”
he smiled faintly “Thank you, Asura. But even the strongest leaders must eventually pass on their mantle. You weren’t born into this role, but in all my years, I haven’t met another lion with your potential.” He pauses, his was voice soft but resolute. “You are the heir this pride needs.”
Asura was taken aback, but humbled “You honor me, Eternal. I never imagined I’d be chosen for something like this. Are you sure you want me.. I know after your daughter left the pride leaving just her cub has been rough on you..”
Eternal spoke more firmly “It isn’t just a choice, Asura; it’s a calling. I see in you the strength, wisdom, and loyalty that every great leader possesses. And though I may not always be here, I trust you to carry on what we’ve built together. As for my daughter, it was her choice to let go. she was not obligated to stay, leaving Sil here for us to raise was reckless of her but it no longer matters.”
Asura took a deep breath, his gaze firm “I’ll carry this responsibility with everything I have. The pride deserves nothing less.”
Eternal placed a paw on Asura’s shoulder “Remember, leading a pride is about more than strength. It’s about understanding, guiding, and sometimes sacrificing. I chose you because I believe you have that rare balance of heart and mind.”
They watch as night settles, a quiet understanding passing between them—a future secured, a legacy passed from one lion to another. Eternals pink colored fur shined in the moonlight as he stood up, his unique markings on his body resembled those of a panda.

you walked up to him, informing him of Eternals death, “about time that old sack of bones died” he growled harshly “this means I can be king now right?” his paws shook with excitement. “oh I've waited so long for him to die, ever since he told me about wanting me as the future king!” he was practically jumping in excitement “and I get to breed with all those pretty pretty ladies ~” he mewed seductively, his tail flicking as he turned and walked off.
