Two lions once met, their names were, Sunfire and Lushbone
Lushbone and Sunfire Became Great friends, Being two Challengers Looking for prides.
Then Lushbone Met Laria, and slowly Began to Create his own pride. He offered Sunfire to be his submale, but Sunfire was very different from Lushbone and he wanted to have a family, a pride of his own.
Sunfire and Lushbone stayed friends, until one night when Sunfire suddenly passed away. Lushbone was filled with grief, but he knew he must move on. Sunfire’s submale, Dawn Sunrise took over. Lushbone was a little wary of the new king at first, but in the end they became good friends and Dawn Sunrise turned out to be a good king.
Lushbone stayed by Dawn's Side, until it was his time to retire, and his heir to rise. Dawn Sunrise helped prepare the heir for kingship, giving him gifts of gold bugs When he needed a helping paw. And teaching him how to be a kind king, Giving him Tips of how to Rule his pride.
Dawn Sunrise was becoming much more powerful, though he always tried to do the right thing. He used his power for good, which made Penumbra content that he would not have to worry about Dawn turning on him.
Then Dawn Sunrise found a cub, this cub was sad and shy, his pride didn’t want him. So Dawn Sunrise bought the cub from the owner so that he could live a fine life, as the next heir of the Światło Pride
When dawn Is Busy, penumbra's there to Cubsit the Heir, teaching him everything he knows, Penumbra is Trying his best to Prepare the Future king of His Dearest friend.
Dawn is grateful to Penumbra for all his help, and then Dawn’s queen, Queen Starsight, the first cub ever to be born to Światło pride, announced that she is about to have a litter of Cubs. The chosen female will be the heir’s queen. Penumbra is pleased to hear that his friend’s pride has good news for a change after all of the trouble poachers have been causing.
Less than a month before Queen Starsight’s cubbing, another lioness in Światło Pride, her name Browndapple, daughter of Nyx and Hover, attempted to kill the queen out of jealousy. She had been being suspiciously kind to Dawn Sunrise ever since the queen had announced she was having Cubs. Dawn had simply thought she was happy about the news, but no. She wanted to be his queen, and on the night she had attempted her evil plot, Penumbra had happened to be on his way to visit Dawn and caught her creeping up on the unsuspecting queen. At first he thought that she was just playing, but then he saw her claws unsheathed. As Browndapple leaped, he sprang at her, pinned her down, and roared for Dawn to come see. Browndapple was banished and Penumbra thinks she got off easy, because she could come back. But since Dawn Sunrise didn’t like killing, he just let it go. Since then a few guards have been put on the queen so nothing like that happens again. Dawn was grateful to Penumbra and And He Gave him a Critter to thank him for saving Queen Starsight's life
Two days later, after the incident. Dawn had some good news today, Queen Starsight’s Cubs were born, and Dawn Sunrise chose the heir. The heir’s name was Princess Proud Lora. She was a beautiful and skilled cub with a good personality. Perfect for the future queen, Penumbra was Delighted to hear And Gifted the pride with Feathers As an Congratulation.
Dawn allowed Penumbra to help choose names. Penumbra wanted the heir’s sister to be named Berezia and helped chose Princess Proud Lora’s name, since the princess loved birds since the day she was born, the two kings knew she must be named after one.
As Penumbra gazed over the Sister, He felt There was something about The cub, and asked to Adopt the Sister.
Dawn Sunrise agreed to send the cub over as soon as she was old enough to leave her mother.
Penumbra Smiled, as he gently sat down next to the Nursing queen. Gandering over The cubs, he knew that the future was bright, since the two Cubs seemed different than the rest, in a good way. But he couldn’t quite understand why.

Three months later... Penumbra was sitting in the sun with Dawn Sunrise, watching over his pride and Dawn’s when suddenly Princess Berezia and Princess Proud Lora run up to them and tell them that they both had the same dream about an elephant herd coming and trampling the prides. Dawn was concerned, since it was strange for two lions to have the same dream, but Penumbra just said they were probably pretending. Then three days later they hear elephants trumpeting and a loud Thunder of elephant feet. Dawn sunrise tells everyone to get up on the plateau that shelters the pride and sure enough, just as everyone gets to safety, the elephants charge though. They would have killed the pride if the lions had been any slower to move. The Princesses were right all along. Penumbra was staring in shock at what had just happened and then the two Cubs came up to them and said: Do you believe us now? The two kings simply nodded, and told the Cubs to go back to their mother. “I was right about Berezia” Penumbra mumbled.
Lora's sister was old enough to leave the pride, to Join Pentatoma. Princess Proud Lora was sad to see her sister go, but Penumbra visits quite often so she wasn’t to worried. Though she knew that dark times for the Pentatoma pride lay ahead, her sister knew that just as well as she did.
Grandpaw Lushbone of Pentatoma pride really seemed to love Berezia’s company, Probably because she is Sunfire’s granddaughter. He insists that he doesn’t pick favorites but every lion in the Pentatoma pride knows, that Berezia is his favorite cub. And she spends a lot of time with Lushbone because she knows that he won’t be around very much longer. He is getting on in age

Dawn was visiting Penumbra and they were laying on the plateau one night when they heard Berezia wailing. They both ran down the plateau and came to a halt beside Grandpaw Lushbone. He was dead. Berezia had herself snuggled in his mane and she was pawing at him probably trying to wake him up, though she knew he wouldn’t. They buried Lushbone later that day and Dawn gave Berezia a feather in remembrance of Lushbone. Berezia said she would never take it off, so Lushbone will be remembered forever.

One week later after the tragedy, one of Penumbra’s queens announced that she is going to have Cubs!

Berezia and Proud Lora were all grown up now along with King Dawn’s heir, Willow. Willow and Proud Lora fell in love quickly and Willow was happy that she would be his queen. Penumbra was happy to see his friend’s pride doing well when Berezia told him one day to beware of his heir. Penumbra didn’t have an heir at the time so this confused him. He brushed it off for now, and went to join Dawn in a friendly play fight.

One day, One of penumbras subordinates was on patrol, The subordinate Found an Abandoned cub, Stuck in a bush, The subordinate brought back the cub to the pride, Penumbra seeing the cub, fell in love with the cub, even tho Penumbra says that he has No favorites.. the cub Grew up in the pride, Now known as Volkan, Soon going to be the King of Pentatoma. Berezia had a horrified look on her face when the cub came home but she knew Penumbra wouldn’t listen to her, or her sister about the heir because he liked the cub so much.

Dawn Sunrise and Penumbra went for a walk then they met a rhino. The rhino blinded Dawn, and made one of Penumbra’s front legs useless, making it hard to fight. Penumbra still wanted to be king for a while, but Dawn retired immediately because he knew he wouldn’t be any good as king blind. The next day Penumbra decided to retire, as he knew his leg would never heal. This is when the new king of Światło pride decided that the pride should have a lioness or two to become healers.

As King Willow had thought of earlier, he asked for a lioness to become a healer, and with the arena games going on at the moment, the pride would need one. Then Wenet came to join the pride, the feisty but kind lioness knew a lot about healing from her family, and she agreed to become the healer of Światło, and to help out Pentatoma Pride if needed. She also decided to train three other lionesses: Tree’s Shadow, and young Shine Heart and Rhubarb Sweet to assist her and help while she was away for anything.

When Willow Leaf was having a chat with Pentatoma Pride’s new leader, Volkan, more formally, Lush Volkan, he expressed his concerns about Dawn, who was growing older and had a habit of scaring Cubs with his stories. Volkan listened carefully as Willow also explained that Dawn had been a bit annoying telling him how to rule Światło sometimes. Then when Willow was doing his nightly check on the pride, he found Dawn dead, his mane bloodied from a bite in his neck. Willow wailed in grief and his queen, Proud Lora came over to see what was the commotion about, when she saw her father laying there she too wailed and cause the whole pride to gather around. Proud Lora whispered “Oh Berezia why didn’t you tell me about this?” They all payed their respects and then buried him, the cubs watch silently, but they all looked equally sad. Willow sent Shaba and Jiwe some of his trusted lionesses to send the news to Pentatoma. After all that was done, the question was, who had killed Dawn? Because if they didn’t find out, the whole pride could be in danger.

Willow was on his way To have a Chat with Volkan about Dawn's murder, as he got closer To Volkan's pride, he heard Whimpering coming from a nearby bush. As He peeked, there was Volkan, standing over a young, wounded, male, Like a cold shadow of fear, giving the Male a chilly stare, Willow watched, his paw caught on a root so he couldn’t help, as volkan raised his paw, about to deliver the last blow, to finish off the Male, Willow desperatley wanted to help the male out, but he couldn’t move, the root tugged at his paw. He watched in despair, as volkan Delivered a deadly blow to the Juglar, ending the males life. Willow chewed and clawed at the root until after a while it finally snapped, he got out of there as fast as he could, lost in his thoughts, "Is Volkan An enemy, Or an ally?","Should I Investigate him? or should I stay vigil?”

Willow woke up from a wail in the broodmother cave. He went to see what all the fuss was about and as he walked in, he saw former queen Goldenheather, lying motionless as Horizon, the last cub she protected, whimpered and pawed at her. The whole pride had woken up now, and clustered around Goldenheather. Former queen Starsight, seemed overwhelmed with sadness. Later that day they said their farewells to their fallen Pridemate and buried her beneath the her favorite shady tree. Volkan had sad news as well, Berry, one of his lionesses, passed away on the same night. The two prides silently grieved together, but life had to go on, so they went back to their duties with sadness.

Two Cubs in Światło were playing, their names Blizzard and Slate. Then they heard screeching and angry roars and snarls. They looked through the bushes and saw Hasira, one of the lionesses in their pride, attacking the former Queen, Starsight. Starsight snarled “TRAITOR” and clawed Hasira, but she was weak. The Cubs looked on helplessly. The king, Willow, must’ve heard it because he came running with a mighty roar and tackled Hasira, and asked her to explain. She said “I am not going to explain anything to you, Willow. You are not my king” at this he gave her a vicious scratch and banished her. The Cubs still huddled in the bushes, until their mother, Hyena, came and took them back to their den in the lower part of the plateau.

Swiatlo pride's leader was tired as fuck, so they decided to leave their territory temporary, with two males to guard it while they traveled over grasslands to a land where they never age. What Volkan didn’t know was that the real reason Willow left was so that Volkan wouldn’t pick off his members one by one. Willow planned to come back when Volkan was old and weak so that he wouldn’t be a threat anymore. So when they came back to an Old, 4 years older, but welcoming Volkan, Volkan introduced willow to Ambassador, Volkan's heir, though with a intimidating name, ambassadors personality seemed much better than his fathers. Proud Lora, nodded to Willow, confirming that this heir would be good. willow, seeing some future for Pentatoma, smiled warmly at the heir. Proud Lora asked to see her sister, The two sisters had fun together until it was time to go home.

Willow stood shocked for a moment, before walking into the crowd. Even though Volkan had done much evil, he still felt grief for his lost friend. He helped bury Volkan that day, and wished Ambassador luck for a good leadership. Then he returned home and shared the news, many of the lionesses were distressed, but some seemed not to care. Willow couldn’t blame them, Volkan had been nasty.
Crimson monarch suddenly said he had a confession to make since Volkan was no longer king, when the pride was gathered and eating a Buffalo, Revealing that Berezia was his biological mother, he was hidden from the pride till he was old enough to join, Pentatoma was Shocked, Ambassador was Worried about how willow would react, so he ordered to keep it a secret, however the news got to the feather pride by accident due one of the apprentices oversharing, Willow was not angered by this, instead he was delighted to hear that Berezia's bloodline went on. Proud Lora was equally happy, and she took the news well. So did most of the feather pride. They all comforted Ambassador about Berezia's death and welcomed him warmly when they saw him.
one day, Crimson called another Meeting, He was distressed, He had another Vision, a young male cub was Sleeping in underbush, it looked familiar..., a female lioness right after, jumped out, and attacked the cub, it then faded out to Pentatoma with a diffrent King, with a sadistic smile on its face, then it showed pentatoma and feather pride, facing opisite directions, their backs turned.
Then it faded to black, and crimson awakened, Ambassador and Willow did not know what to make of this, whatever it was, it was bad news, ambassador decided to Enchance his Gaurd Having one of his males Keep Watch On the cubs.

Ambassador went to Check One of His caves, Only to discover, a Melanism Lioness has given birth to a Single Male, he was dazzled, and so was the rest of the pride, Ambassador shared the news to Willow and Crimson, they were Suprised.. and flushed as She lioness was infertile, Crimson Thought that it might have a connection with His last vision, Willow Agreed and suggested ambassador Set his male to watchover The cub for the night, Remarking that this might Be The Pentatoma's King that he had a vision about.
willow was patrolling his territory, hearing tapping in the distance, willow quietly followed it, realizing, it was one of his lionesses, Hyena, he continued to follow her till they ended up in Pentatoma Territory, he watched from a distance as she Sneaked into a bush, It quickly hit willow, Crimsons last vision, he didnt have enough time to react, hyena already lept.., However, Suddenly, there was growling coming from a male, it was Gnaw, the assigned gaurdian for the cub, Willow dashed in, and helped out The male, the pride awakened from the commotion, as Willow and the male corner Hyena, Amassador approaches, he asks whats going on, the male explained, Willow now confronted hyena, what was She trying to do, Hyena snarled -"This frail stain must die, he isn't a worthy king for Pentatoma, My Son is!, This.. thing will be the fall of Pentatoma, trust
me! I am doing you all a favor..", Everyone was shocked, it was completely silent, Ambassador was enraged at what she said, "How dare you, call my son a stain?!" He turned to willow, and demanded to have her kicked out of the Pride Willow snorted at Ambassador for trying to order him around but he agreed. He however didn't agree to kick out her cubs as they had done nothing wrong, the male stayed in Pentatoma, Ambassador began chasing Hyena out of his territory, as Willow went back to his pride to check on the cubs, later that day, Crimson was relieved, that a possible disaster had been stopped.

The days went on as normal, Willow's heir had reached adulthood, and many cubs had been born. All was peaceful. But then sickness struck. Lions coughed and wheezed. No one had died yet but Willow knew he needed to do something, fast. On his way to the Shamans to ask for guidance on curing this sickness, he passed by Pentatoma and they had the same sickness but worse, the heir was sick. Willow picked up his pace and raced to the shamans, luckily they had a cure, he only hoped he could reach the heir and his lionesses in time. He raced to pentatoma first, and it's a good thing he did because the heir was on the brink of death. They gave the heir the cure and he slowly started to stir and make a few weak noises. Willow gave him a little more just to make sure he'd be alright, and then rushed home to his lionesses. Sadly, his most honored and trusted Broodmother Shaba had died, she had been very old so it took her quickly. They honored her that night and buried her in the morning, for a long while the pride was filled with grief as Shaba had cared for many of them as cubs, even Willow himself had been placed in her care.
Queen Proud Lora was distraught the next day. She was pacing around and muttering to herself. When she saw the new king, Hawthorn, she came over to him to tell him her concerns. She’d foreseen a major earthquake that would bring the plateau down on the pride’s caves. She told Hawthorn that the vision was in the near future, and that they should leave so no one is killed.

She also warned that the alternative could lead to death as well, but with how big the plateau was, it could wipe out both Pentatoma and Swiatlo. So they went over to Pentatoma, and apparently Chrimson had given them the same warning, so they decided to leave their home that evening, since both prides were already prepared.

Sadly, that night, Willow and Ambassador died of age, and they had little time to grieve before they buried them next to eachother and moved on to their new home.
as the sun sets, crimson, hawthorn, and hellebore, gather into a circle to discuss where they'll be heading, leaving the north. the South, and the West where all occupied by Prides, accept The East. the land said to be cursed by the demons Of September, with No other options, they were forced to take the road of the East
