Midnight was born to a former pride lioness who was ostracized shortly after he was born. She never sought any ill-will against her cub and loved him like any mother would. She named him Midnight after her admiration of the stars, often following the brightest star for any guidance on where to go.
As Midnight grew, his mother slowly became frail and exhausted. By the time Midnight reached his eigth month, his mother drew shallow breathes, and she wouldn't leave the cave. Her son offered her company but she always insisted he go play with bugs outside with a small smile. At his first year, his mother drew no breaths, offered no smiles, and spoke no more.
Midnight grew bitter. He found himself wandering and being constantly chased off territories for his looks. Not even lions who claimed to be kind and fair took notice of his thinning frame and showing ribs. He continued to follow the brightest star until his legs could walk no further and he fell to the sandy earth, overtaken by hunger.
A voice woke him.
"Wake up." It spoke firmly, the faintest hint of an echo present in the words.
Midnight blinked his heavy eyes open and layed with his chin on the cold earth. There was a white lioness before him, full mane and protruding fangs catching his eyes. Her own eyes were deep blues that held no pupils. He found he couldn't look away.
"Get up."
Midnight didn't know why, but he stood, the weight of his withering life gone from his haunches. The sky stretched all around them, thin mist chilling his paws.
"You have a legacy before you, why are you resigning your life?" The voice snarled quietly. "I'm Luciérnaga, I am the star you and your mother often seek, and I am telling you that you are not to give up."
"But why-" Midnight coughed, his voice hoarse. "Why did you take her away? Why do they SCORN us?"
Luciérnaga bared her teeth, sharp fangs gleaming in the starlight. "Because they know the power we hold. They hate us because they hate that they cannot control us. But you," The lioness' eyes bore into Midnight and he suddenly felt small under her gaze. "Midnight, you will reclaim the lands for all of us they called 'freaks' and 'monsters'. You and your kin will rule the Lioden Lands."

Used Burning Embers on him!
Have plans to use Interstellar Smoke at about 20% as well, if I can get my hands on it!
