The Cursed Crusader is a mysterious being that appeared one evening when the moon was full. Her form was draped with unnaturally long, thin tendrils of fur, and her eyes reflected the celestial body shining in the night sky. She came silently and ominously; the Dry River Valley pride were terrified of her, so their queen swiftly had her exiled out of their territory. What misfortunes would this mysterious spirit bestow onto others?
Having traversed the unforgiving wilderness, the Cursed Crusader's journey eventually brought her to the territory of Blood'Harvest pride. Drawn by an unseen force or perhaps guided by the whispers of her ancestors, she found herself at the edge of their domain, her presence stirring the shadows that lingered there. Sensing an opportunity or perhaps seeking refuge from the trials of her nomadic existence, she cautiously ventured into the heart of Blood'Harvest's territory, unaware of the challenges and secrets that awaited her within its darkened embrace.
The more the Cursed Crusader moved, the more she could feel her very being ripple. There was someone like her nearby. Something not of this plane of existence, something from the skies itself. Through thick trees and fog she was brought to Rotanev’s pride. They shared a feeling of belonging, of knowing they should be walking somewhere else. And with a bow of his head, he welcomed her into his pride for however long she wished. Comforted by the fact he is not alone, that there was another being from the stars.
The days went by and Cursed Crusader was starting to feel the tiredness creeping in as she walks through thick grass and tall trees. Being a traveling Lioness wasn't easy. She did pass a few prides but didn't feel drawn to them, it was almost like her body was leading her to a specific destination, to which she nor regrets complying to. After what felt like hours she suddenly hears the sound of water. Walking passed some trees she comes across a river, Cursed Crusader decides that this would be the perfect time to rest for a while and catch her breath. She walked to the edge of the river to have a drink. Lapping at the water she noted that it tasted oddly fresh, no hint of fish or even a plant-like aftertaste. That was where she met Mitch, a strange male lion living with humans. But they seemed friendly so she followed them. When they entered the pride she is behind Mitch as humans started to look at her, she felt almost like they were judging her when it was in fact the opposite, they were admiring her. In an instant another lioness springs in front of them name Huntress. She took over from there and showed Cursed Crusader around the village and even giving her a gift. That evening after a hunt Mitch joined the lionesses as they sat in a circle eating some elephant chunks. Later that night she and Huntress were snuggled against each other, their body heat keeping each other warm. That was until she had to leave. Cursed Crusader stood at the edge of the pride, Mitch by her side as they said their goodbyes.
After a rainy days Cursed Crusader decided to take a nap in the sun to finally dry her wet fur off. After a while she fell asleep a young lion slowly crept up to her and jumped on, her waking her up in a not so nice way. The cub laughed and looked at the gumpy lioness. A older lioness called put for the cub and scolded it for being so rude. The lioness introduced herself qs Ayah and welcomed the lioness to come and join the pride for some dinner. After dinner Cursed Crusader decided to help out with the cubs and also helped put hunting. She even decided to spend some time with the Prides King, and after some waiting a lovely litter of 3 new cubs was brought in the world. And on alovely warm evening after they allr played together in a nearby water hole, she decided it was time to take her cubs and continue her journey.
She thanked the bride and groom the cub which sacred her bevor leaving with her cubs.
