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?

Kozimer - They/He - Ines

The royal lion approached the cub, sniffing her for injuries. Once they found no signs of hurt, they pulled back and looked gently at the she-cub.
"My name is Kozimer. What are you doing here alone? Where's your mother?" They asked, pulling the cub closer to keep her warm. Worry glazed over their eyes, looking around for any signs of the cub's mother.

Meiomi (general update)

As Meiomi sat atop a rock not far from Omari and the rest of the pride, the breeze gently tugged at her dark fur. She had her tail neatly folded over her paws as she narrowed her eyes, scanning the visible territory. Her ears flicked as she listened for the return of her half sibling, Kozimer. Kazimir, her other kin, was sleeping below her at the base of the tall rock- no surprise there. She could hear his heavy snoring, and flattened her ears in an annoyed manner.

Ines stiffened, paws attempting to clutch loose earth. Each simple sniff from the lion made her flinch away. Those acts way for nothing as a paw was used to scoot her small frame closer. The questions asked were considered. Alone? She was alone. A light chuff sounded as she nestled into the pelt of the lion beside her.
"Gone." Her rounded gaze focused on the spot her mother vanished. "She'll be back." Her attention flew to the cranium of the other. "Right?" Ines shivered despite not being cold, in fact she felt too warm and still she shuffled closer.

Kozimer - They/He - Ines

The way the cub sounded broke their heart. She sounded so scared and sick, and their heart ached for her. Resolve settled into their mind, and they stood up, wrapping their tail around the cub.
"Yeah, she'll be back, of course. But until she does, you can stay with my family." They said, smiling and leading the cub away from the clearing, glancing back one last time to see a sickly lioness nod in apresiation.

Ines pricked her ears at the offer. Her crimson gaze followed Kozimer as he paced away from her crouched position. Giving the forestry one last glance, the little cub trotted after her new friend. Each step brought her further away from what could have been a short lived lifestyle.
Her tail now flicked happily behind her as her mind was easily shifted from the whereabouts of her mother. "Who is your family?" Her fluffy pelt happened to puff up. "Are they also friends?"

Meiomi picked up the familiar scent of her sibling and leapt off the tall rock, forgetting that Kaz was resting below. Kazimir let out a yelp as the adolescent lioness landed on his tail and she just rolled her eyes. “Oh calm down.” She hissed at her lazy brother before trotting off to see how Kozimer’s patrol went.
It wasn’t long before she picked up a new scent and she paused her pursuit. Not wanting to catch them by surprise, she sat patiently at the edge of the camp, flicking her tail behind her in wary manner as she waited to intercept Kozimer… and whoever he was bringing with him.

Kozimer - They/He - Ines

The heir smiled and nodded. "Yeah, they're friends. My brother Kaz is a lazy bum, but he's got a heart of gold. And my sister, Meiomi, well she's... terrifying, actually." They said, laughing. "But I'm sure they'll love you, little one." They purred.

Soon the two lions neared the camp, and Kozimer caught the scent of their sister. Signaling to Ines to stay behind them, they approached Meiomi. "Hello, sister. Could you fetch Kaz and mom? We have a little stowaway." They said, revealing the tiny cub hidden behind their tail.

Comtatee trotted around camp looking for anyone to help. Her black tail swishing excitedly as she glanced into dens and back out again. After looking into a few dens she sat down, seeming content doing nothing for awhile. She perked her ears up at the potential padding of lion feet but soon she realized that was a few birds tromping on leaves.
What if its not? She thought to herself, now wary of her surroundings. Maybe I should check. That way I'll be doing something good for the clan even if its nothing.

The queen could be found roaming the outskirts of the territory. A little walk was needed to survey the land, making sure borders were in place and nothing was amiss. Nam’Kal could have sent the usual patrol, but nothing reassured her more than doing the job herself. Tracking the descent of the sun, she figured she’d spent enough time away from camp. The lion had more than one duty to accomplish before night. Who knew what problems she’d have to deal with when she got back? The crown she wore was heavy.
Her pace quickened at the view of camp in the distance. Already her mind was filled with assignments and tasks needed to be handed out as she strolled into camp.

Meiomi's nose twitched as she gazed down at the small cub, whom she deemed utterly pitiful. She lowered herself to meet the cub's eye level and uttered in a hushed growl, "Stowaway." She echoed Kozimer's sentiment with a sidelong glance at her brother before abruptly straightening up. She responded to her sibling in a detached tone, "Yes. I will inform Kaz and mother... I'll also attempt to find Comtatee; she has a soft spot for insignificant cubs." With a final not-so-subtle glare at the little one, Mei turned away, leaving Kozimer and the tiny cub behind as she set off in search of her mother and Comtatee. Assuming Kazimir was still sleeping, she made a mental note approach him last.
As she spotted the Queen entering the camp, she hastened her steps to fall in stride with her mother. She respectfully bowed her head before addressing her, "Mother, I bring news... Kozimer has returned with an uninvited guest. I've been asked to relay this to you and Kazimir, but I believe I'll also inform Comtatee, seeing as she is a mentor." She nodded in self-assurance before adding, "Oh, I almost forgot to mention, the intruder is a mere cub, no more than a few cycles old." She hissed, unable to hide her annoyance towards the unexpected visitor.

Kozimer - They/He - Ines, Meiomi

Kozimer looked down at the cub and smiled softly. "Sorry about Meiomi, she can be disstrusting of new arrivals." They said. "Cmon, I'll take you to Omari." They purred, passing through the entrance and into the camp. They were greeted by the familier sight of bush dens and hanging vines, and the scent of hibicus.

Ines absently listened to the lions words pulling behind Kozimer only to sit down. Her crimson gaze landed on her paws as she lifted one to stamp it down upon a small rock before her. Her whiskers quivered as she jumped up backing a step and lowering to a play crouch. Her tail slashed behind her a sharp gaze set on the rock. Her cub like activity halted as eyes fell upon her.
Looking up, Ines found herself looking into the eyes of a not so enthused lioness. The stranger simply grumbled and trotted away. Her sights set back to Kozimer ears back. Before she could speak the reassuring words calmed her nerves. Ines happily nodded and bounced after.

Nam'Kal took thew news in passively, only the twitch of her ears showing she was listening. This...this was a problem. Something as small as a cub from outside could pose bigger problems in the future. Worse, it was unexpected. The grey lion utterly despised surprises. In that regard she shared Meiomi's feeling of annoyance, an irritated huff leaving her.
"Yes, your idea sounds good. Seems the mentor may get a new underling". Nam'kal had to get the full story of this cub, the pride knew better to bring outsiders, even if they were young. Her tail flickered in farewell to her daughter before taking leave.

Finding Kozimer wasn't hard. Following the unfamiliar scent led her exactly to where she needed. Spotting them the queen strided over, "Kozimer I hear you bring an unexpected gift with you", her tone subdued yet underneath lied the anger. She glanced warily at the cub. Seeing its small frame stoked nothing in her. They looked like every child they'd ever seen, weak. It wasn't like the cub was hers to be responsible for, not yet anyway. Her gaze shifted back to her heir, pining them with a hard look, "How did this come to be?"

As Nam’Kal walked off, no doubt to question Kozimer, Mei set off to search for Comtatee. Following the distinct scent trail of her fellow pride member, she passed by Kazimir, who was on her way. Already irritated, she rolled her eyes at his lazy figure. With a sudden pounce, she disrupted his nap.

Kazimir let out a startled roar as his sister landed on top of him, annoyance etched across her features. As he rose, Meiomi slipped down due to her smaller stature compared to her brother's towering figure. With a shake of his mane, Kazimir grumbled, "What's got you all riled up? Afternoon is the prime time for a nap, and you could've ruined my jewelry!" Before he could continue his grievances, Meiomi interjected, "Shut up. Koz has brought a cub to the pride, and I assume Mother is far from pleased. Besides, it's high time you contributed around here, so you're accompanying me to find Comtatee." Kazimir, still taken aback, trailed behind her at a more leisurely pace, muttering, "Taking orders from a grouchy adolescent." while chuckling softly to himself and shaking his head.

Comtatee face wore a large grin when she heard about the cub, completely forgetting about the birds. She could almost jump for joy, there hadn't been a cub in the pride for a long while. Comtatee rushed out of camp to grab things for the cub. Feathers, soft leaves, some fur from resent prey, and other things helped make a nest for the cub, more luxurious than needed.
