In the quiet area that is feared by most, where the echoes or roars reverberate through the bones and blood that stain the land, their reigns a being unlike any other lion named axel. His tale a mix of fear and awe has etched itself into the scars of many, marking the strange lion as “The Collector”, a King whose land stretches beyond territorial boundaries into a realm led by one strong lion.

Axels linage an unusual fusion of a normal lioness and a strong male with a hidden tigon gene, giving birth to a cub with extreme power. His mane, orange like burning flames. Short but regal. And his coat and mix of stunning oranges, browns and blacks. As axel was raised his strength only grew, and it wasn’t long after a tragic disaster that axel had asserted his dominance over the wild lands, that he now called home.

One of the most chilling aspects of axel was the jaw crown he wore on his head, a gruesome relic crafted from the skeletal remains of his father. It served as a haunting symbol of axels dominance over his fellow lions, a constant reminder that he was the apex predator.

On his back he wore a carefully crafted rib cage, one that acts both as armour and a threat. The spine leading down to his tail, and on his legs he wore spiked bands. With sharp cut spikes. The male was covered in many scars, each scar telling a story.

Driven by the desire for revenge and dominance, axel became a collector, a ruler with an unusual approach towards how his kingdom was run. Lions seeking refuge within axels territory were welcomed under a single condition, absolute respect. The lions who entered his lands were bound by an unspoken contract. To follow the kings rules without question and to show unwavering respect. If a lion disregarded the kings strict rules they would be met with a swift and brutal end at the claws of the mighty collector.

Axels legacy was built upon the remains of those who dared to challenge his supremacy or question his rules. His father being one of his victims.

Axels territory bore the weight of his authority, bones adored the territory, forged from the remains of those who failed to meet the collectors demands. These statement pieces served as haunting symbols of the power axel had over the creatures he ruled. His coat bore witness to the bloody stains of countless conquests

Axels reputation spread far and wide. Lions from distant lands would cautiously approach his domain, knowing that their future and survival depended on how they treated the king. The rules were simple yet unforgiving. Lions were permitted to live freely as long as they acknowledged axel as the true king.

Yet despite the fear and horror axel was a bring of undeniable power, which ultimately means no one was willing to go against the king. Leading his reign to have brought a semblance of uneasy peace within the animal kingdom. There was a twisted security within the kingdom as one did not need to fear random violence, those who followed his rules were protected.

The collectors dominance served as a protective shield over external threats. Lions could find peace and safety. It was a security born of fear and respect, an assurance that by adhering to the cruel ruled of the collector that they were protected, safe and fed. As no one would dare challenge the hybrid. Axel was the living symbol of strength and power
