The queen Ambrosia was like no other.
Long ago, as a young adult, she was sold as a male without a name to the cowardly 'king' Remtem and his wife, Zira. She does not remember much before that, as she was too young for it to stay within her memories. The king had named her Ambrose, as she had not yet found herself and the king planned to keep her forever. Day by day, the king grew more ravenous. He foamed at the mouth frequently, often going on halfhearted rants about how he hadn't killed enough.
The king's wife, Zira, grew tired and greedy due to the lack of food. There were only two cubs, neither of which even Remtem's, and Zira had fallen pregnant. She could not hunt, thus the pride was at risk of starvation save for the scraps Remtem would bring home.
Having had enough once the food had run short, Ambrose challenged Remtem to a fight. Remtem allied with demons; He did not believe he could lose. Accepting the challenge, Remtem's insanity drove him to his limits. The two fought for hours, days even, before Remtem finally succumbed to his injuries. Terrified that he would be killed, he attempted to flee. Yet Zira, in a desperate attempt for justice, stopped him.
Remtem was imprisoned by Ambrose. Originally Ambrose was going to keep him alive.
Remtem laid beside his wife Zira that night, mumbling his last nothings as he drifted off to sleep. In a rage at his last words, Zira slit Remtem's throat in his sleep.
She adorned the fur pelt he loved so much and stepped out that morning. She said nothing of it to Ambrose, who silently thanked her for the task. Ambrose then took the name 'Ambrosia', as per Zira's request. Zira had raised a daughter, not a son, and she had known it well. Ambrosia was thankful for her acknowledgement and took her place as the queen of this pride.
Zira had reached out to other prides within Remtem's reign, and with her help Ambrosia had new pridemates to welcome when the time came for her coronation. They had come from the pride of Vindicta, who had made deals with the heavens in order to lock lions in time until they had guaranteed homes. With Ambrosia in need of a pride, Vindicta knew that they were creating the perfect home.
