Personality: intelligent, fierce, loyal, protective
Passed away on 1/2/17
Falconflare was put up for sale by her king, who was hoping to get a lot of money out of her as she was one of his finest lionesses. He advertised her, and many curious males wandered by to see what the deal was. She watched all of them cooly, making eye contact with her copper brown eyes with as many as possible. She found great amusement in meeting the staring king's gazes, in the way they quickly turned away as if suddenly remembering she was a lioness and not just a pretty pelt. At this point, many of them stalked quickly away to rid themselves of her glare. She saw another king coming over to her, and her breath caught in her throat. She watched as he walked, quickly and with purpose over to where her king stood. She marveled at his gorgeous colors, the way that even his mane perfectly matched his pelt. He was Maroon, with heart-stopping cream and white marks all over him. She could see a faint Onyx panther too, which although one would think it would seem out of place on such a king it somehow fit him well. Her eyes stayed locked on him while he spoke to her king, and then he nodded and walked off to look at other trades.
"King, what did he say?" She asked.
"He's made an offer for you, young lioness. I won't tell you how much but it seems he'd really like to have you." Joy filled her veins. Maybe she'd get to live in his pride!
She waited in the shade of a scraggly young tree as her king waited nearby, looking to see if anyone would best the current offer for his lioness. Sure enough, another male came by and offered even more for her. Her heart sank a bit. Oh, how she longed to see the Maroon king again! Butterflies danced in her stomach as she waited anxiously to see if he'd return to beat the current offer for her. And he did. He returned once again to check on his offer, and when he found it had been beat he offered a large sum of beetles to the king. Falconflare saw her king's eyes light up, and they whispered briefly.
Turning to her, the Maroon king said "Come along, your king has accepted my offer. If you'd follow me, I'll lead you back to my pride which you shall become the Queen of." She'd never been so happy in her life! She jumped to her paws and trotted after her new gorgeous king, thoughts of the future spinning in her mind.
"I hope you like it here, my pride is rather large and I've been searching for the right lioness to help me manage it. I think you'll love it, there's lots of friendly lionesses I'm sure will love your company. My name is Sunsetspirit, and if it's okay with you I think you shall be Queen Falconflight." She looked at him, his pink eyes focused on her.
"Hmmm...yes, but could I be..." She thought of her rusty red markings she'd always been so proud of. "...Can I be Falconflare?"
***
Queen Falconflare lived a long and happy life in StormPride. When she was well past her prime King Sunsetspirit passed away after being attacked by a rogue male in his own territory. The king was old and didn't stand a chance, and his submales didn't make it to his aide in time. Falconflare was heartbroken when her king died but she had faith in his heir Fallenspirit. She remained as the pride's Queen even after Fallenspirit took power as he had chosen no Queen of his own. Though Sunsetspirit would always be her true mate, in her final years she produced a gorgeous daughter with Fallenspirit. In honor of her late mate, she named her last cub Sunsetkit.
SUNSETKIT
Sunsetkit grew up to become Sunsetflare, taking her name after her mother as well as her mother's king. Apart from her name Sunsetflare was a spitting image of her father Fallenspirit: albino with mahogany paws and gold spots.
She remained in StormPride for the entirety of her life where she consequently produced three cubs with her father in Fallenspirit's crude attempt to create a line of lions that resembled him. Two of these cubs died and one went on to be a submale for another pride. Fallenspirit died several years prior to Sunsetflare and for her final breeding she was given the freedom to pick whichever king she wanted from Fallenspirit's heir, Cloudspirit. Sunsetflare's final cub is Flaredkit (Flaredstripes). When the time came for Sunsetflare's spirit to pass on she refused to let her soul go to the Spiritlands where the pride's ancestors and past kings souls resided. Instead she left StormPride to die in peace, free from the dark memories of her past.
She passed away on 10/1/17.
