When Hestia was born, he was immediately recognized as a difference to the pride. His father and mother were ordinary lions, but their only son was born with a piebald mutation. For being different, he was also treated differently by other cubs. But he didn't take it to heart. Hestia was always an outgoing cub. His personality always shined through when he played with fellow cubs which eventually led to most of them forgetting he had a different, strange coat. Even if he was just an ordinary cub who was most likely getting chased out of the pride after reaching adulthood, he always found a bright side in everything. Knowing that he would have to leave his pride eventually, he made sure to pay attention when his mother taught him the ways of life so he could start his own pride some day. After just the first lesson with his loving mother, Hestia dreamed of becoming a king. It wasn't at all bright in his childhood. At only 7 months old, Hestia lost his mother to a buffalo when the lionesses went hunting. It was a very challenging few weeks for him. His father promised to have Hestia on the throne, leading the pride once he retires. After just recovering, a subordinate male of the pride chased Hestia out of the pride. Why? To ensure that the sub-male was to become the next king of their pride because Hestia was promised to lead it. Hestia was only a threat to the male, knowing that once his father retires, he won't have a chance to take the crown.
He tried to convince the subordinate male to let him stay, begging even, Hestia earned a scar across his right eye. Taking it as a hint, with sadness and defeat, he walked across the dry savannah in search of food. Exhausted, he laid down in the tall grass and waited for death to take him.
For a long time, Hestia was unconscious. But once he woke up, he was in a refreshingly cold cave with a tiny puddle of water that formed from the moisture dripping from the stones above him. He was fairly scared and perplexed. Then, a lioness walked into the cave and calmly approached Hestia, something hanging from her mouth, a blood trail left in her tracks. He was scared and scurried in a corner, his ears pinned to his head. Was this going to be the end? No. The lioness came into the cave with a gift — a impala calf carcass. She drops it gently in front of Hestia before she sits down, "No need to fear me, cub," she said softly as she licked her muzzle, scooping up the blood from her chin. "We found you in the grass unconscious. How did you get here?"
Upon telling Hestia how the huntresses of her pride found him while coming back from a hunt, Hestia loosened up. Maybe she really didn't mean harm. He soon found out that the lionesses name was Raina. She was a sweet old lady, the lead huntress. Raina cheered up Hestia after a while of talking with him and soon he had almost forgot how he was chased from his pride.
With a bit of encouragement from Raina, young Hestia followed her out of the cave to meet the rest of the pride. There weren't many lions, about a dozen who sat on the pride rock. He then saw a large male lion who didn't even look like an ordinary lion he was used to seeing. Stepping under Raina and hiding under her front legs, Hestia stared at the lion as he turned towards them.
Raina looked at the cub under her and sat down so Hestia was standing between her paws, "This is our King," she said with a soft smile. He had never seen a muscular and tall lion like him.
Ozone, the king, who happened to be a primal stepped forward and looked down at the cub with a fatherly gaze in his eyes, "Hello there, little one. Don't fear me," He said as he laid down, attempting to seem smaller and meeting Hestia face forward. "I'm a mutated lion. Just a little different from the rest here." Then, Ozone noticed how the cubs pelt seems different, white strands coloring some parts of Hestia's fur, "We're similar. Just differently mutated." After that day on, Hestia became part of the pride like he was born here. He found that some cubs had similar pelt discoloration like him and he finally felt like he was home, even if his family wasn't here. The whole pride helped Hestia develop his skills and as he grew, he became a subordinate male to the pride. For a while, he was mustering up the courage to go out in the world, come to the lands his father rules and defeat the lion that chased him out of the pride that wasn't even his to guide.
When Ozone retired, there was one lioness who took charge of the pride, Lorath. Hestia didn't know much about her, but he knew that she was a respected lioness. Except for seeing her chatter with the rest of the pride, he didn't converse with her much until the day she sat next to him on the rock while Hestia watched over the horizon. "Hestia," Lorath greeted, her blue fur glistening in the dim lighting that cast over them as the sun was preparing to hide behind the mountains reaching far from the prides territory, "You must not recognize me." She said as she glanced over to the right side where a herd of elephants was passing through. Hestia glanced at the lioness, the Queen, his expression perplexed. He didn't know who she was. She wasn't one bit familiar.
Seeing the confused look on his face, Lorath gave a soft compassionate smile. "It doesn't matter now. What does matter is that your former pride has a new leader. Your father retired." She said as she looked ahead once again. Hestia's eyes narrowed at the lioness. Lorath must mean that the male who chased him away took charge now. Is his father even still alive? Without another word, Lorath stood up and brushed her fur against Hestia as she passed by. "I wish you the best of luck, kid." She chirped quietly as she made her way down the pride rock.
A few months later, everything changed. Lorath seemed to disappear, the pride couldn't find her tracks anywhere. It was as if she vanished into thin air and the pride was lost without their queen. They needed leadership, someone to guide them. Ozone and the rest had been discussing who would be the one to lead the pride until Hestia walked towards them, a question about Lorath's disappearance in mind. Ozone stepped toward Hestia, "You're going to be our new king, Hestia." He said with the deep rasp in his voice, knowing he can't take over because of his old age. "The pride is in your hands, Hestia. Lead it with the strength and wisdom you've gained within this pride."
To this day, Hestia continuously and with hope searches for the lands he once lived in, desperate to find his old pride — or the remains of it. He hopes to come across the lion who chased him away at a young age, the one who took the little he had left after his mother passed. Only the lion lord's know what would happen if Hestia, in fact, comes across that same lion.
