Painted Lady, the Walker of Dreams ✨
Once a living Tigon, Painted Lady was royalty. As a young Queen, she was brtually assassinated by a close friend. She was given a second chance at life though, her kind and compassionate nature struck the divine beings as worthy of living again. She promised to help guide young cubs and protect all lions of the living world. A winged deity, Painted Lady appears in the dreamscapes of young and adolescent cubs, granting blessings of protection and good wishes. She is a symbol of good luck, a symbol of kindness and motherly instinct, the innocence of youth and peace.

A single brown cub, curled up in a clearing. Springy green moss and soft grass beneath foot, a gentle breeze singing a melody through the flowering trees overhead. The distant sound of a waterfall could be heard, a peaceful sound; a peaceful safe haven. Gentle rays from the sun cast warm beams of light to dance across the ground, and the sound of songbirds could be detected nearby.
The small cub lifted her head, yawning and immediately snapping her jaw shut as Painted Lady approached. “What are you?” The cub asked slowly, eyes squinting in confusion. Painted Lady smiled, folding her iridescent wings. The Tigon leaned down, gently touching the young cubs head with her nose. “I am here to grant protection. I am here to walk you through your path of life and guide you. I walk amongst your dreams in this kingdom of paradise I, and many others, call home.”
The cub stared at her blankly, not registering what she said. “Are you an angel?” She tilted her head, eyes flitting incredulously over the figure in front of her.
“Not quite.” Painted Lady purred. “Here, come with me..”
She ushered the cub gently, waiting patiently for her to gather her bearings.
“What’s your name?”
“My mother called me Avril.”
“Called?”
“Yes, she’s gone now.”
Silence.
“I’m sorry to hear that.”
Avril smiled weakly, hiding her grief the best she could.
“Your mother has a lovely taste in names. As for grief, that’s totally normal Avril. Everything grieves. The sky when it rains, for example, though after that, there are rainbows. There’s light at the end of what you feel.”
Avril nodded her head slowly, trying her best to keep up with the large winged feline. Walking beside her, she lifted her head to gaze at the Tigon. “I just wish I could’ve said goodbye to her. Have you ever had someone leave you without saying farewell?”
Painted Lady nodded. “I have. But there is still time to say goodbye. Just because she is no longer in the world of the living doesn’t mean she’s not with you. She will never leave your side.”
I’ll take care of you from now on.
