Gaara was out on his daily patrols when he heard soft weak cries of help, following the rustling that led him to a nearby deep gorge. A semi-colorful cub stuck in a muddy pit, he made his way down and looked around but there was no pride in sight, not even the faint smell of a lioness. Making his way over to the cub he noticed only small footprints and a weak, distressed cub. He leaned over and gently grabbed the cub by the scruff of her neck but soon noticed all the bruising, swelling, cuts that littered the cub. He set her down and she shook off as much mud as she good, thanking him. Gaara walked off and heard the little cub speak in the same weak voice asking if he had seen her mother. Gaara turned to face her when he noticed she was facing away from him, he thought it was odd and walked back, “No, I haven’t kid. There’s actually no one near here.” He spoke and the cub finally turned to face him, “I was following my mom’s scent and I fell…then I got stuck. Thank you for helping me…do you have some food?”
Gaara looked around, “There’s a lizard on the rock, go get it.”
The cub was hesitant at first but walked around regardless, listening before she pounced. She was off by a lot and missed the lizard. She grunted and sat down when her stomach growled. Gaara chuckled softly, “Follow me Kid, I have a pride back home, my queens have probably brought home some dinner.” He walked away once again and heard the cub’s soft breaths and faint dragging of her paws, and the grunts she voiced out when she stumbled or walked into rocks. Gaara figured she was probably tired but he couldn’t blame her, he walked back and picked her up once again. She apologized but Gaara didn’t mind.
He introduced her to the pride and S̷̷𝖊𝖊𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗 was the first to greet her, gently cleaning the cub as Gaara updated her about his patrols today. Gaara looked up into the sky and spoke of how beautiful the stars looked tonight, S̷̷𝖊𝖊𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗 pulled the curves of her mouth upward into a smile, “Your coat looks more beautiful when the night comes.”
Gaara nuzzled his cheek with hers only to earn a growl from S̷̷𝖊𝖊𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗, “I just cleaned that spot of her head you Big Oaf.” Gaara apologized and looked down at the cub as S̷̷𝖊𝖊𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗 truly did have her ways with her aura, that was so comforting and welcoming. The cub opened up about going against pride rules and following her mom, she aspired to be a great hunter like her mother. But her mother always told her not to join her. Gaara looked at S̷̷𝖊𝖊𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗 and that was all she needed to understand why the cub looked so badly defeated, S̷̷𝖊𝖊𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗 had visited many prides, but no king compared to Gaara’s fatherly ways. He never failed to reach out a helping paw to those in need. Gaara gave a small report and explained where he had found her, so she asked the cub which direction her mother was heading as she gently cleaned the cubs face once more. The cub stayed silent for a heartbeat before confessing she couldn’t see. She explained that’s why her siblings gave her a hard time and why no other cub in her previous pride believed in her aspirations, her chest tightened as she revealed that was why her father insisted on abandoning her. Gaara was just as shocked as S̷̷𝖊𝖊𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗 before he gently placed his nose her head, “You are welcome to stay in my pride, you will be my daughter then.”
S̷̷𝖊𝖊𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗 nuzzled her cheek with Gaara’s and the cub as a sign of approval. Before snapping at Gaara’s face for getting the cub dirty again.
S̷̷𝖊𝖊𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗 cleaned the cub once more and pressed her nose against the cubs nose, “Your name will be Sombra….Felicity Sombra.”
Felicity was now the one in shock, not only did she have a name but she was accepted. S̷̷𝖊𝖊𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗 brought pieces of food to help nurture Felicity’s spirit and body before holding her close at night. “You start practice tomorrow. With me.”
Felicity swore she could cry tears of joy, she snuggled into S̷̷𝖊𝖊𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗 and slept for the rest of the night.
