The Brightstar Kopjes
⊰═══════════════════⊱
A mighty golden sun beats down upon your back. Your tongue lolls from your open and panting jaws. You’ve been traveling for days through the lands and stumbled across a great desert. A wide azure river winds through it and you’ve become determined to not leave its banks, as it’s the only water you’re sure to find. If it weren’t for the heat of the sun and the dogging of your feet, you might’ve taken appreciation of how the bright light made the sand beneath you sparkle with glints of beautiful gold.
The movement of a dark speck upon the wavering horizon lifts your head. It appears lion-like, but the rising heat waves make them look ethereal. The shape jerks as if alert before running from your vision. A mirage, it must’ve been. There’s nothing else it could’ve possibly been in the desolate sands. Still, you follow.
It’s been an hour of walking and several times the feline mirage has appeared. It must be real, you’re now convinced, so you’ve followed it each time it appeared. But now it draws closer, larger, each time you spy it, though the last time you had seen it was a quarter-hour ago. Over the next stand of dunes, you see many brilliant red kopjes standing peacefully sentinel above a small lake. The river you’d followed stretched on either end of the lake like two winding blue wings against the golden sands and ruddy stones. A queenly baobab, as massive around as one of the kopjes, backs the pillars and creates a green crown above the fiery rock. It is a unique sight to behold. You’re still far away but can see many lions on or around the rocky outcrops, some lounging by the water. The first cool, purple shade you’ve seen since you entered the desert makes your body wish to jolt forward, but this is not your pride. How would they react? A quiet huff pulls you from your thoughts.
“Glory to Bast, welcome Traveler. Do not be alarmed,” the voice is calm and on the deeper side. A submale. You twist to face him and he is truly massive, with a mane too thick to seem comfortable in the desert, but he looks so at home here it must not bother him. You begin to stare and notice he is decorated with many pieces of delicate jewelry and twirling feathers. It looks exotic but fitting.
“You’re the mirage, the one I’ve been seeing.”
“I am no mirage, just a simple patrol. But yes, the desert heat shall do that to you. Please, follow me, Traveler.” He paces forward and leads you down towards the waters. As the two of you crest the dune together, happy muzzles greet you both from afar. Drawing closer you notice that the kopjes are pocked with cave entrances, and you must wonder how these lions carved them into the rock with just their own claws. You also notice many uniform steps carved in many paths upward. This den is very ornate, sticking out from the harsh desert landscape.
Lionesses and cubs greet you formally and offer brief brushes of their paws or tails as you follow the submale, who never gave you his name, passing the whole pride by. He leads you up one set of steps, weathered by generations of paws to a beautiful smoothness. The huge male finally makes it to the top of the tallest spire and bows deeply. You mimic him and see two beautiful lionesses at the farthest outcrop of the rock. From your bowed viewpoint, you see one, her body wracked with swathes of the star-bright white, turn her veiled head to you. The other female, just as beautiful, defers to her and turns her similarly covered eyes. A slight nod passes through the dominant female, and you feel as if you’ve been asked to rise, and so, you do.
“Glory to Bast Traveler, my beloved guest, my child, welcome to the Dunes of the Brightstar Pride. I am the Prophet of Bast, for I have given up my true name to receive visions from our goddess. No, do not look sad, my name will be returned to me when I pass.” Her voice is a beautiful rich alto. It rings so kindly yet regal in your ears that you find yourself bowing once more. “Feel safe to stay here and know that you will be protected while you stay, wherever you wander, for we own the lands from here to the edge of the grasslands to the south, and to the shore in the north. The Great River is all free to you. East and west, well, do not worry much, as many stay far from our sands. May the blessings of Bast be with you, love.”
She rubs her head to the side of the other lioness’ and the female stands.
“Glory to Bast, welcome young one.” The second female’s voice is windy but powerful, as if she might be a great singer in her own right. “I shall show you to your den while you stay. Like our queen I have also given up my true name for visions, and just as she, it shall return to me under the eye of Osiris. Simply call me Priestess and our queen, Prophet.” The lioness gently leads you forward and back down the stairs a way to a high-up den, facing the east to witness the rising sun. You thank her and she says no thanks are needed. With one last friendly nuzzle, she leaves you to rest comfortably or to wander.
