Devastator Perfidious

Perfidious (Mallor) earned his name through his friend Emmet, who was an older black lion. They grew up together, shared their stories, been through pride fights and their own fights, so much so that one would see them as brothers.

It was until recently that Mallor started to grow a grotesque attitude towards Emmet. He often cursed his name under his breath and called him a fool, which wasn’t without reason. Emmet used Mallor’s astuteness to make himself appear superior to any lion in the pride. The black lion was seen as an idol, but in reality it should have been Mallor. This betrayal of friendship corrupted Mallor to trick Emmet towards his last breath.

It was any other day when it happened. Mallor was by the so called pond swishing his tail as he stared at himself in the reflection. He was lost within his own haze as Emmet came by. It was the usual conversation starter, “I need your help with…”, but Mallor was hit with apathy of the subject. He was tired of Emmet always using him, and just like that the fight had happened. There were no words exchanged and Emmet was caught off guard, which was an advantage to Mallor. They fought vigorously with one another without a stop, but Emmet was too trustful of Mallor to cease, which he never did until Emmet laid there motionless. The haze of Mallor grew darker and lured him into doing the unthinkable. He skinned the hide off Emmet and wore it on himself, as a way to signify that he was the one behind all the things Emmet did within the pride. He strutted through the crowd with no remorse for what he had done, and was casted out with much disapproval.
