Stats when kinged: 258
Aged up from 10 years 11 months to 12 years 11 months on 4/30/24 (April Event Primordial Spring)
Falling Spark is the Fourth King of the Kalahari Pride, and the first king to be King CONSORT, not King By Right. He reigns with his mate, Faline, who is the one with the royal bloodline.
Falling Spark is Rego’s unexpected protégé. Rego met him while at the Trading Center, and was struck by the young lion’s level head and leadership potential. Rego offers him a place in his pride, and training. Falling Spark accepts.
He flourishes in the Kalahari Pride, becoming especially good friends with Faline. Faline falls hard for him in return, and the two become mates. Falling Spark’s favorite thing to do is roam far and wide, hunting for treasure, and he brings home quite a bit. Faline thinks he’s a bit flighty, but supports his adventurous spirit.
As Rego approaches the age of retirement, with his only son with Kona still a cub, he names his niece Faline, granddaughter of Brond’s firstborn child Adea, as his heir. As Faline’s mate, Falling Spark will be her king, her ruling partner. As for Kanu, Rego and Kona’s son, he is to be Falling Spark and Faline’s heir, as is his birthright.
Late in his reign Falling Spark takes a sip from the primordial spring, hoping to gain wisdom, something he feels he lacks, since most royal heirs begin their studies as cubs, and he didn’t start his training until well into adulthood. He does gain wisdom, and serenity in knowing he is doing the best he can, and his pride is flourishing. But, when he returns home, his wife notices new wrinkles that certainly weren’t there before. Apparently, the cost of wisdom is age. Falling Spark thinks it’s a fair trade, and Faline says he looks distinguished, so it’s a win-win.
