Majestic

The constellation and celestial being Leo the Lion watched the earthly lions from afar, providing protection when he could. After a while though, he grew a bit envious of them. He wanted to LIVE like they did. He wanted to come down to earth in a physical form and live a natural life. He longed for it. He longed for it. And as his envy grew, he didn't grow angry - he could never be angry at such lovely creatures like the earthly lions - but he grew sad. Incredibly sad.

Tefnut soon discovered Leo's sadness and asked him about it, learning about his envy. The gracious goddess had mercy on him and presented a deal.

"I will allow you the opportunity to have a full life with your physical form." She told him. "You will experience the goodness and badness of a living earthly lion. But at the end of that lifetime, your physical form will die, and you will return to the skies as a cub."

Without hesitation, Lio agreed, and Tefnut sent him down as a young adult lion. He was open to those he has met that he was not from this world, but never opened up and told anyone who he truly was. He chose the name Apollo the Great, naming himself after a deity of the sun as a way to hide his tracks. The closer he comes to death, the more his celestial body is revealed, and his future self - a celestial cub - visits his dreams at night as Apollo tries to avoid the inevitable.
