You continue on your travels, exhausted from days of walking through the dry, arid desert. You collapse as vultures start circling overhead.
…
"Don't just lay there. Get up."
You open your eyes painfully to see a transparent pure white lioness with the bluest eyes. She tilts her head, and you see a sunless forest, offering shade, water, and food. She places her tail over you, and with difficulty, leads you into the forest. You two stop by an ice-cold stream, and you ask her name. She smiles sadly.
"I am the spirit of the dark woods."

Lore; Long ago, the savanna was covered in emerald forests and sapphire lakes. Everything was peaceful, until a power-hungry lion known as Jasall rose to power. He took the prides of the lush world to war, and many souls were lost. The spirits were displeased with his reign. So, they sent a sandstorm that lasted fifty years to all land Jasall had touched. But one pride has been spared. The Dark Woods pride, protected by the first lion. Maisha, goddess of life, as some called her. Now, almost four hundred years later, the dark woods are still a safe haven to any wandering traveler. But something is brewing within the heart of the pride. The wind whispers many dark secrets. Who will listen?
