LOREEEE

It all started with a bald ass king who met a lioness named Hope, they decided to start a small pride in the savannah. Their pride growed slowely, but surely. They had a submale with a 'rare' piebald mutation. He liked to hang out alone, but did swear to help defend the pride. When Clovermane decided to retire, he took over the pride. they saw the hyena numbers grow, along with the cubs who died cause of attacks, so they decided that ithey would be safer in the forest.. Safe in the shade of the trees, the pride grew more quickly than ever. Solisto was doing a great job at protecting their food from scavengers and making sure his cubs grew up strong. He did like to leave the uneaten in a specific spot, and sometimes they went on hunts just for fun, leaving the dead behind. At last, the old dirty man became weak due to older age. While taking his daily walk through the territory, he spotted In the distance a large lion. It had large antlers, which were sharp and pointy. the lion(?) spotted him, and it started to walk towards him with its ears pinned back. Solisto didn't look it directly in its eyes, to show he wasn't a treat, but the lion had its gaze fixed on him in an dominant matter. It towered over him, piercing him with its eyes. "I'm not going to hurt you." it said, but in a not convincual way. "I'm Verlin, the protector of this forest, and you are an intruder to the peace which laid here." "In my records, we were peaceful." He said, looking into the sharp eyes of the protector, This lion was much larger than him. "Your pride is to loud, dude. I seriously can't concentrate anymore." it backed away from him and sat down? What a weird thing, that's for sure. "How about you and your bitches be more quiet for once, huh?" It said, seriously. "Can we keep this conversation respectful, please?" He asked. He didn't like this random lion referring to his loyal lionesses as bitches. "This is way more than the amount of respect you have given the others here." It snarled, sharpening it's look at him. "Listen, if you do what I asked, we won't meet again. You don't want to meet again with that reason." With that, it stood up and started walking away, leaving Solisto behind, confused. I know I pronounced to her as it, cause Solisto didn't know. She observed the pride for the next few weeks, making sure they didn't cross her rules of peace. She got spotted by a cub, asking her who she was and if she wanted to play. Embarresed by her horrible hiding skills, Verlin shuffled further in the bush. "Heyyy, I'm talking to you!" For the protector of this forest, they did not bless her with many skills. She scraped some moss from a tree branch behind her and threw it towards the cub, who happily went to its friends and siblings. Five lionesses were watching the cubs while they played with the mossball. "Where did you get that, Soul?" Soul pointed right towards her. "From that lion over there!" The lioness looked, but didn't see anything. "Oh there is no lion there, sweety." Soul looked at her, not pleased. "There is! Come, I'll show you." She said, happily skitting to the bush. *Shit* she thought, backing away. The lioness had clearly heard it, cause she tilted her head a little, inspecting the bush. "Hey! You are in Solisto's territory, stay where you are!" Another lioness came up behind her. "We are not going to hurt you. We were escort you towards our king will decide what to do with you." The third lioness stood up, while the fourth went to get other back-up if needed. "We can do it peacefully, or not. This is your decision." *Fine.* She stepped out of the bush, the lionesses were caught of guard by the size of this strange lion. The first lioness looked at the others, clearly asking what to do with her gaze. Verlin let out a long sigh. not wanting to deal with this. "Are you going to take me to your lousy king or what?" She asked. The first lioness flinched a little at the sound of her voice, she didn't know that it could speak. Soul trotted toawrds her. "Don't worry, she's friendly! she's going to do a great thing for this pride!" Soul brushed up against her leg. *..Eww* She thought, gently pushing the cub away. "H-how are you so sure?" The lioness asked while Soul walked back to her. "Ohh I had a dream about it!" The lioness looked up at Verlin, a hint of fear and uncertainty in her eyes. "I'll go myself if you just keep staring at me." "oh- oh yeah." "what a bunch of weirdo's."she muttered as she started walking, the lionesses beside and behind her. The fifth escorted the cubs with them. 3 more lionesses ran towards them, pausing when seeing Verlin. "What in the-" one began, before getting bumped in the shoulder by another. They silently guided her towards a shallow, large pit in between caves. More lionesses were sitting there, in small groups, talking. They all looked up and gasped when they saw her. She stared back at them, before looking around again. A small stream came from one of the gaping holes of the caves, running in the middle towards a small pool. On the other side were more caves with beautiful plants, and a biig rock formation. The male lion she met before, rested on there, flicking his tail when seeing her. "Greetings. What brings you here this morning?" "I-" She got interrupted by a lioness. "We spotted her at the playing grounds, sir. She was spying on us. Atleast that's what we think." "Thank you, Star Dust." The lioness bowed her head and stepped back. "So.. It's you who we have been smelling around here?" "Yea, I need to be sure you are not bringing harm to this place." Solisto jumped down from the rock, facing her. "Well, have we proven this to you? And why do you care anyway?" He started circling around her. Inspecting her. She looked him in the eye. "I care because this is my forest. I was brought here to protect it." "They did not bless you with the skill to hide." he chuckled. "And that would be something that the 'protector of this forest' would need." Verlin snarled at him. "You should be careful talking like that when you're weak." Solisto stood still, looking at her right in the eyes. "Especially cause I don't have any idea who you are and what this cult of yours is." "I am not afraid. My lionesses will attack anytime that I tell them too. You didn't show me respect the last time we met either." He paused, staring her up and down. "..But we could use a lion like you, You seem strong and fearless. Ever thought of joining a pride?" "What would it give me that I don't already have?" "Friends." She paused for a second."..And you coiuld improve this pride, since it isn't in your perfect image. What do you think of that?" He sat down, awaiting her answer. "You wouldn't have to stalk us anymore, and could instead correct us for our wrong behaviour." This lion seemed eager for her to join. "Perhaps I could, but only for a day to see what it is." "That's settled then. Bronze Fang, Mud Fighter, can you show her around the caverns first? She already saw the playgrounds." "Okay, Solisto." *..So that's his name?* The day flew by and she decided to stay. She eventually became the heir, which she found out that Solisto had intended for her, and was queened when Solisto retired. She sometimes goes off for a walk around the forest alone, while the 4 submales that she decided could stay would watch over the pride. She was doing both; leading a pride and protecting the forest from hunters and humans. And if she needed help, the pride was right behind her.
The end lol..

Clovermane

Bald. He's bald. Bald man. First leader, and now dead (and bald).

Solisto

He had some kind of sparkly power shit around 'em, celestial lore which could pass on to his daughters. Whisp had it, that's all. He was a fairy.

Verlin

She is connected to a forest in a spiritual way. She feels and hears what the forest does. Not being able to leave, she's bound to be the protector until her death, which won't be any time soon. She's a half-mortal, only being able to die in battle. Sad dog.
Her wife
