. King Lechon .'s Den

As you wandered deeper into the foggy forest, the chill in the air clung to your legs, making them feel cold and damp from the dew-covered ground. The silence in the area was so eerie that you strained your ears, trying to catch any faint sound that might offer a clue to your surroundings. But the silence persisted until suddenly, you heard a distant commotion.

You followed the sounds, stepping carefully through the fog that hindered your vision. As you moved closer, you spotted a small group of lionesses gathered around a tall stone at the edge of the pride's territory. They were meticulously making markings on the stone, symbols that seemed to hold deep significance. The entire surface was covered in cleansing symbols, and the paint appeared dry, indicating that they had been doing this for quite some time.

Observing the lionesses, you noticed that some of them looked unfamiliar like they might have come from another pride. Perhaps they had come to help Lechon, the pride's king, with his visions. The constant outbursts from their irritable leader must have been hard on them, and they were trying to give him some peace of mind.

As you ventured further into the pride's territory, you noticed similar markings on the entrances of every den, acting as protection symbols to ward off the spirits that troubled Lechon and the other lions as they slept.

After looking around, you found Lechon in his cave, a gloomy and secluded space. The large king was startled by your presence, turning around with his fur bristling as he roared, in anger (and fear).

"You," he growled, "I told you to GET OUT!" His voice thundered through the cave as he yelled at you, mistaking you for one of the troublesome spirits that tormented him.

You tensed in fear, your own pelt bristling as well. You wheeled around on your heels and quickly exited the den. As you emerged, all eyes were on you. Each lioness gave you a sympathetic look as if they expected no less.
