You find *~Athena~* on an outcropping observing some other lions playing below with a gentle smile.
Athena is a elegant creature. She comes from a excellent line of lions, and she shows it in every step. She radiates power just by walking into a room, and can tell a lion to be quiet just by glaring at them. The Pied Crow doesn't help much either. Once you get to know her, you realize she is actually quite self-conscious and nervous.
Athena was bred to at a young age of 2 years 5 months. She was scared when she met the male, and she had never mated and he mated quite a bit. It took him a long time before he finally sent Athena home, where Infura inspected her with a Healer's touch and smell, and determined her pregnant. Athena didn't know whether to be weeping or celebrating. Cubs had been her lifelong dream, and know that they were upon her, she only felt bittersweet. The next few days, she stayed quiet and to herself, only loosening up and enjoying herself on a hunt. As the first month of pregnancy came to a close, Athena went with the other hunters, loosely padding to keep up. She had gained a few pounds, but nothing major. She had started to talk to Fiend when she heard footsteps. Infura the blind healer had been told Athena was leaving for a hunt, and she followed them. "Oh no you don't." She scolded, grabbing Athena's scruff like she was a cub. "What?" Athena said, giving Infura a confused look. "You are pregnant young lady!" She growled. "The first month is over, and your freedom has come to an end! You have CUBS growing inside of you, and they cannot develop with you running and bouncing and twisting! I have prepared a nest for you, and you are to come with me and stay in it. The hunters will bring you food." Athena's eyes began to tear up. "One more hunt?" She pleaded, looking at Infura with big eyes. "No." Infura bluntly said, dragging Athena behind her.
The nest was made up of archer's Buzzard Feathers, which pissed off Athena. The name of the father of her cubs was Archer. She hurrumphed and rolled over in her nest, cub-dreams in her head.
When the Cubs finally did come, only one was born. And it was male. The cub was weak and sickly, and refused to grow. He lived to adolescent-hood, which was a miracle. The lion was sold to another pride, and Athena did not miss him. They needed females in the pride not males.
