--Melokuhle, despite being the only heir to his father's pride, lived rather recklessly through his cub and adolescent days. He ventured out past the pride's territory on his own very often. Sometimes he would return with live prey or maybe a baby animal that he would attempt to keep for a while. A couple of times, he managed to befriend loners out in the Savannah and bring them to the pride. His father, not very confident that his son should keep up these habits, began to scold him for helping others too much. Once a new pride was said to be near the territory, his father, instead of helping them from the draught and from starving, tried to chase them off. This was only the first thing that drew bad blood between Melokuhles pride and the Ferus pride, Ziravi. His father and their king began to quarrel quite often, especially once he found out how cruel they were. Being the only heir, he was forced to stay inside pride territories until he had his training completed.
Growing up, he had no problem getting along with most lions, so it wasn't too surprising when he befriended an outsider to the pride during his early adulthood. When they first met, she was an adolescent ferus named Lumine that seemed to be stalking him near a usually vacant waterhole. They grew closer as friends until her own early adulthood, to which she began to make small romantic advances on him. Melokuhle seemed to not notice for a while, being a tad ignorant and uncertain. He had feelings for her, but was slightly timid due to the fact that the pride she is from was cruel and anything but merciful. There were times in which he wanted her to join his pride, but she had shown to be more loyal to them than he had thought. He could see deep down she wasn't exactly as coldhearted as she was seemingly trying to be, which gave him hope. Slowly he saw himself imprinting on her, the good in him seemingly trying to break through her barriers. Finally, the day came to when he was going to ask her to join his pride, but before he could say anything to her, the two of them heard a growl before a much larger ferus leaped at him almost out of no where. Melokuhle, not sure what to do, flinched away from the both of them before cautiously looking to Lumine. She nodded her head warning him to go quickly. Melukuhle glares at the new ferus with warning before he took off to his own pride, feeling the hard paws of a ferious ferus behind him. He planned to meet back at the waterhole with her tomorrow. That night, he was anxious and afraid, hoping nothing bad had happened to her. A fellow pridemate, Cherryshadow, who used to help him train, talked with him for a while to make him relax. It was obvious she was trying not to pry, but he ended up telling her everything instead. The two chatted like old buds until early dawn. She woke him up mid afternoon to make sure he would meet his 'friend' in time. Melukuhle thanked her greatly and ran off. He waited there all day for her. Once nightfall hit, he went home and tried again the next day. Then the next. Then the next. He kept doing it for as long as he could recall, sometimes having Cherryshadow join him. One day, the two sat alone at the watering hole, thinking up any scenarios about why Lumine wouldn't return that didnt involve her death. He'd hate to say it, but he gave up on her. He'll tell himself time and time again that one day, she will just show up on the outskirts of his pride and nuzzle him once more. But for now, he has to move on. His father, the king, seeing that Melokuhle was less upbeat than usual, sent him on a border patrol with a few other lions. On their return, Melokuhle had managed to bring an abandoned cub into the pride. It was barely old enough to be on it's own, so the king had allowed it just this once. Having fatherly instincts, he felt as if this cub needed him, so he treated it as his own. He began to do this with most cubs in the pride, showing them that he isn't just their future king, but their future friend. The abandoned cub he found, he decided to give it a name. Thinking of the future he wanted, he named him partially after their opposing pride. Ravi. Him and Ravi grew close, though the cub seemed a bit snarky and disliked by others, mostly because of the scent he carried when he was first introduced to the pride and his name. Though, he kept the cub close to him because he reminded him of a certain ferus.
As time went on, Lumine left his mind and Cherryshadow slowly began to take her place. The two were close as ever and the pride had began to think they were mates. His father, confident his son will give heir worthy cubs to the pride, slowly began to step down. Once the king began showing signs of old age, Melokuhle took the role as king. He vowed that he would be more open minded than his father, to make this pride an accepting one who doesnt care who you are or where you're from. He thought of Lumine for the first time in a while and sighed.
Just a few sunrises after he was announced king, his father passed. That's when he was completely in control.
Not having any kind of heir, he took Cherryshadow as his queen and tried for cubs many times, only to fail. He began to dread that something was wrong with one of them, worried that she or himself was infertile. He was the only one of his bloodline left that was male, so he had to think hard about who of his kin were worthy ruling the pride. Eventually, he settled on Ravi, hoping to get others to accept him as not only their new heir, but a pridemate just as himself.
Many years had passed when he noticed Cherryshadow beginning to show signs of old age. Soon enough, he felt as though he would begin to as well. Eventually, he noticed his mate beginning to look plump. Cherryshadow had managed to becoming pregnant and gave birth to two cubs, Rimmerlain and Sierra. Both beautiful lionesses.

Ravi grew up rather lonely and excluded from the other cubs, as they seemed to have heard stories of the pride they assumed he was from. Hearing such cruel stories, he refused to think that. His name didn't help him at all and he blamed that on Melokuhle mostly. Ravi was easily irritated when it came to his past, which he could barely remember or say as much about. His attitude didnt help others think differently about him and his supposed birth clan, Ziravi.
Once he became an adolescent, he was told he would be a possible heir to the pride. He felt the uneasiness within the pride as they heard that and he couldn't blame them. Though, he grew up trying to get used to it.
As he was beginning to settle nicely with his place in the world, he then heard Cherryshadow had become pregnant. His reality shifted a bit as he hoped darkly that something bad would happen to her litter to where he could keep his place as heir for much longer. He scolded himself for his way of thought. It didnt help him much to feel care for cubs seeing as didnt have much of a mother figure growing up and it always felt like something in his life was missing besides parental figures.

💫💫💫💫💫BACKSTORY💫💫💫💫💫
I was born into the Zaravi pride, taught things that would go against many prides code of honor. All cubs are taught from a young age that the only things needed for survival is how to hunt and to show no mercy. I have always tried to stay loyal and trusting to the king and all of his orders, although ive never felt completely...comfortable while doing so.
I've never been able to go about the heinous acts the king demands as effortlessly as the others, but I'm well aware of the consequences of not following orders. As an adolescent i was shown just how harsh punishments could be, anywhere from a simple swipe...to being brutally attacked, sometimes to death. Many cubs lives have been cut short from breaking even the slightest rule, some as much as taking an extra piece of meat during feeding. I couldn't say i haven't broken a rule or two, I've endured my fair share of punishment although i was always lucky enough to survive.
In my early years of adolescence, i was rather adventurous and enjoyed going out on my own. One day while out on exploring, I came across a lion who peaked my interest! A manly lion, with lovely Anubis fur and bright yellow eyes. I approached him nervously, not quite realizing until he stopped drinking to look at me shocked. We talked for hours. We met everyday for months, and feelings began to grow...as they do. By the time I was an adult, i had fallen in love with him. Only to find out that he was from the pride we were forbid from interacting with. My father, curious as to where I have been going, searched for me. He found me with Melokuhle the lion I've been seeing. My father quickly went after him, running him away. Little did I know that was the last I'd see of Melokuhle, the lion I love. My father kept what he saw to himself, but threatened that if he caught us together again he would kill Melokuhle and myself. Soon after, i come to the realization...im pregnant. I must leave. I don't
want to know what will happen to my
cubs and I if I'm found out...I leave for a week, knowing i won't be looked for. I find somewhere where i can camp long enough to have my young. Not knowing what to do after, I begin to panic, worried for my life and the lives of my 2 beautiful cubs. I know what to do...the only way either of them will have a chance at life. I take them to the edge of a well known pride, one open to taking in those in need. Im sure this is the right thing to do. I slowly make my way back home to be bombarded with questions by my father when I return. I reply with vague answers trying not to give myself away. I can't take anymore questions, i walk away to gather my thoughts. As i wallow in self pitty, i notice the hunting party returning from their run. I have to take a second look when i notice the ladies have 2 cubs with them...theh must have followed me back! I rush to see what will happen to them. As i approch, i see one of the huntresses talking to our king, she is silenced when i draw closer. The king, looking me in the eye, speaks with a calm voice ive never heard him use, "The hunting party claims to have seen you abandoning these...cubs...on the outskirts of our pride, care to explain?". My stomach drops as i run a dozen excuses through my head. I stutter trying to come up with something that won't get me killed. "I f-found them wondering out on their o-wn and thought i should at least r-return them to their pride..." The king chuckles then looks at me, his face drawn up into a scowl. He grunts and backs up, as he says in a belloing roar, "kill them...". This takes me by surprise, I gasp and look up from the ground to meet his gaze. Any previous hint of kindness has left his face. "Well?", he raises an eyebrow. I gulp, with a heavy heart, I raise my arm and swiftly swipe the troat of my infant daughter. All i can do is stare as the crimpson liquid pours from her throat, soaking the earth around her. Fighting to hold back tears, my legs go limp. I struggle to stay standing as the king stands, and walks away laughing. The huntresses follow close behind, smiling as they eye the lifeless cub. The king stops in his track, "make sure they are properly disposed of.", without even turning around. My heart is aching as I begin to scream at myself in my head. I knew what would happen, I knew they didn't have have a chance at survival, yet i still chose to fall in love with a lion i could never be with, one i could never have a life with. My cub is dead because i was stupid enough to go against our king. The only thing left to do is follow the order I was given. No, I can't. I can't end the life of this cub before it has even began. I can't allow for another potential king to be put to rest before he even has the chance to experience lifes beauty! I grab my son and run as fast as I can to an accepting pride, one who doesn't care where you're from. One who is willing to love you for who you are. The pride of the one I love, the pride of Melokuhle. 🦁

B a c k s t o r y
-- Cleopatra was raised by one of the best hunters in the pride, being raised along by her sister in order to take their mother's place. She was constantly in competition with her but in the end, fell behind watching as her sister became one of the best hunters their pride ever saw yet Cleopatra didn't mind she kept hunting and practicing but one day the pride king escorted her away trading her off for goods and better lionesses. Yet still, Cleopatra kept her head up welcoming herself into the new pride she found herself climbing above the other hunter's even though she was still only an adolescent still even now she has never met a match who could beat her hunting skills in the pride.


ETC: I hope this is ok I haven't roleplayed in awhile.
