Plot

There was once a pride of lions containing a single Infertile Lioness. She wanted more than anything to be a mother, but try as she might she could not seem to bare live cubs. After so many stillborn and miscarriages, the other lionesses began to suspect that she was cursed. Taunts and verbal assaults began and before long, the Infertile Lioness had been outcast, now dubbed Curse Womb. She was still a part of the pride, but she was treated differently. Seeking comfort, and believing the mistreatment would stop if she had a cub of her own, the lioness left the pride to hide her last stillborn. That night Curse Womb, stole the cub of a neighboring pride lioness.
Taking the newborn back to her pride to pass it off as her own, her pride mates were suspicious and distrustful. Curse Womb did not care, for she now had a cub. Days passed and the cub would not eat, as she could not produce milk for it. The cub sickened and died, and the lionesses gave her a new nickname: Cub Killer.
Soon, the neighboring pride traced the cub's disappearance to her and with the help of her own pride, chased her far beyond their borders, leaving her on the verge of death.

Scarred and vengeful, she has regained her strength. Her hurt and mistreatment have planted seeds of malice and hate. She renames herself one final time: Deianira, Destroyer

Several years later, whispers of empty Cub Trees have spread across the land. There's a Cub Snatcher loose and soon, not even the cubs protected by their own pride are safe. She is forming an army of rejected cubs. She's forming her own pride, twisting young minds to do her bidding. Even worse is that she's gained the support of some lions who think this lioness is a savior. Deianira is out for revenge, and will not hesitate to kill anyone who stands in her way.

As her numbers grow, no pride is safe. Will you join forces with other kings to defeat this new threat? Or will you join her?
