Years ago, two strong and healthy lion cubs were born into a small pride on a remote island surrounded by a crystal-clear sea. Brimming with wildlife, the island offered a thriving home where the pride and its cubs could grow up and flourish. Months passed, and the cubs grew into their adolescent years. The older pride members took one of the youngs on a patrol while the other joined their mother and the lionesses on a hunt. When the sun began to set, a deafening sound was heard near the human village: an explosion from a nuclear power plant.. The blast took countless lives, both human and animal, and the radiation spread quickly, poisoning the land. In the aftermath, the lionesses and one of her cubs perished. Only Sitri, the surviving cub, remained, alongside his father and the elders. To this day, the radiation still lingers, contaminating the island and very slowly killing everything in its path. However, Sitri was fortunate to be at the far end of the island, where the radiation had less of an effect on him. Meanwhile, his father wasn’t as lucky and passed away just a few months after the radiation reached him, his last words being, “Make me proud.” After some time, the pride started to grow once more, and Sitri was crowned king. However, due to the radiation on the island, Sitri's future litters faced the risk of physical mutations, and their lifespans were noticeably shorter. In order to protect his pride, he had no choice but to fake a smile, despite knowing they were all slowly fading away.
