eupheme

eupheme, named after one of jupiters moons, and the goddess of good omens, was the first born of polygon dust's children, along with her half sister, ganymede. as a young cub, she was taken out to the wastelands by her mother, on orders from her father, to meet with a strange ctreature of the sky. as she was only a month old, she did not yet know what a bird, or falcon, was. the raptor swooped down, looking sadly at the little lion. he did not know why kings encouraged and were pleased with deformaties in their own cubs. he knew the fate of this cub as well. she was better off than others, as her condition would only lead to a malfunction in the production of her fur. she returned with this knowledge, not quite understanding, and her mother met with polygon dust in his den. he was overjoyed! his first cub was what he called a 'mutie' and explained to the young eupheme that there was nothing wrong with her, she was, in fact, very special. her sister looked on, and her mother ushered her away, probably taking her to the sky creature as well, leaving eupheme to think over the days events.

when her sister returned she spoke that she was 'special' as well, and their father had told her the same thing as eupheme. this was good news! she wasnt alone at all, she had her sister by her side. months went on, they both grew older, eventually becoming old enough to hunt with the adult lionesses. eupheme did try, very hard, but every time she hunted, she messed up her teams hunt. her sister, knew she was just stressed and did not push her when they hunted together, but it was a problem. months pass again, shes almost reached maturity, and did not yet know what her defect would bring. she had noticed her fur growing but she did not yet see any effects of her so called mutation, but her sister was a different story. her fur had grown a considerable amount, as if she was going through a growth spurt. months pass again, eupheme finds herself getting fluffier, what a mess. fur all over the place, ahg. her sister looks like a queen. shes kindof jealous, being this fluffy mess while her sister goes on looking regal and beautiful. she was honestly pretty pissed, pissed enough that one day her sister was going on and on about grooming her fur and how hard it is and how everyone always stares at her. eupheme gives a low growl and ganymede stares head on, eupheme giving her an icey glare. she doesnt do anything outrageous, no. she walks away and says shes done. days later, shes reached her second birthday. she speaks with polygon dust, as it is her time to leave, he says he has a friend who would take excellent care of her, living out in the mountains. hes a kind king, with a big heart, and not many pridemates to take care of. you could be just what he needs, and he could be just what you need. she agrees, and the next day, leaves without saying anything.

her sister does not notice, in fact, shes too busy gathering her things up to take off on a journey of her own. her father walks her to a massive gorge, full of lions and prey, nests, exoctic animals, so many things! here, he left her, with a sweet goodbye to his daughter. she lives on in a pride of her own, renamed as 'pride' for the massive fuckin ego she has.

ganymede, lives in fauna shade's pride with her daughters, and lionesses that come and go. her two daughters father was an outside king, a beautiful black lion with silky fur. her daughters have daughters of their own now, and are just as cute. fauna shade had bred her a few times as well. her first daughter was a mutie too! except, she was mutated from birth, with white shreds of her fur standing out from the rest of her. she loved her, and was very sad to see her leave.

eupheme nudged you affectionately and told you that your battling looked far better than yesterday. Was...that a compliment?

You made the mistake of asking eupheme how your mane looked today. She just grinned and remarked that it looked great compared to your face. Ouch. Put some snuh on that burn.
