LORE:When he was a cub he was abandoned by his parents, no one wanted him, they always went for the “perfect” cubs the “pretty” and the “handsome” ones. Everyone thought that he was a freak just because of the unique colors of his eyes. Many would bully him for it and neglect and abuse him.
But one day a tall and kind looking King went up to him, he looked fairly old and young at the same time. The King looked at him curiously then when ӨƬƬӨKΣΣ revealed his whole face towards him and the lion saw his eyes his expression lightened and he smiled and said, “Beautiful..come hither young one, I won’t let another soul hurt you ever.”
ӨƬƬӨKΣΣ's eyes flashed and he stood but was very weak he had just gotten beat by another adol group previous of this new King's arrival and was covered in bruises and blood. The King had a look of anger and sadness but gently picked ӨƬƬӨKΣΣ up and carried him to his kingdom. Why did he save him? He’ll never know, but hopefully one day ӨƬƬӨKΣΣ can return the favor to another cub like him in the future.
Many moons later…
ӨƬƬӨKΣΣ had grown into a very strong and big male. He grew into his beauty and muscle, when he had found his new home he realized that each of them were all different from another, and not all being the same, everyone treated another with kindness and love. He was very grateful to King Giovanni for giving him a safe place and saving him from the pride that never loved him. When the day came of the King's death he forever thanked him and promised to always be the best that he could for the sake of the pride. Since then Seppe has become a very smart and noble young lion. He formed an impeccable brotherly bond with Morphine and loves fulfilling his duties being a part of the Royal Guard, he also loved and adored the new King. Draco always treated him like a little brother, he knew how much Seppe had meant to Giovanni and he did everything that he could to fill the fatherly figure for him.
“I could lay here forever…” ,Seppe always says as he lays by the big willow tree and watches over the cubs after his rounds, he was their greatest protector. But he wanted to help more cubs like him and travel further to see how many lives that he could change it did break his heart to leave his pride but he knew it'd be worth it. The lives he could save and change and the cubs that he could help find footing and their place in the world so they didn't have to feel so alone.

Decors added(if any): messy den, maritime pine [BG], [GE] sunda clouded leopard!
Story/lore: His paws carried him to a strange place, a perfect, but strange place. Gorgeous lionesses lounged around a forest where prey never seemed to run low. With the first news of his arrival brought both hostile glances and a new excitement. He wasn’t sure if he wanted to stay for long or if he’d just stay the night and join another pride, but it was nice to stay and enjoy a meal in the time being. His first news of friend in the strange lion Sol’s pride was a pale yellow flecked lioness, she herself used to be from a different pride and joined this one as her old one disbanded.
Relationships made(optional): became good friends with Sunny! And became an older brother figure to her cub Daisy

Pride #2 ID: Restartsizz (#507170)
Decors added(if any): Finespun Hyena Bodywear [Spotted]
Story/lore: ӨƬƬӨKΣΣ ended up in the mountains not too long after leaving the last pride.
His fur was icy, nose and paws aching from the cold wind that taunted him.
He had been here for roughly an hour or two, tucked beneath a large rock, attempting to hide from the unbearable cold outside.
Not to long after, he was found. A lion with large, brown wings dropped down next to him. She noticed him out of the corner of her eye and graciously supplied him with food, until he was finally able to stand and pass through this rough area.
The lioness remained unnamed, but her kindness was not forgotten by the starved lion.

Pride #3 ID:
Peony #502746
Decors added: Hunting Arrows, Hare Bone Piercings
Story/lore: ӨƬƬӨKΣΣ arrived at the territory of the Makalo pride. He was a traveler, drawn by the scent of water and the instinct that guided wanderers. He approached cautiously, announcing his presence with a rumbling roar that was respectful, not challenging. Makalo, the pride leader, a lion of imposing stature, met him at the boundary. His assessment was long, silent. But observing ӨƬƬӨKΣΣ's lean form and the lack of aggression in his posture, Makalo nodded acceptance for a temporary stay.
It was the sons of Makalo, Nłotak and Taƙata, who truly welcomed him. They were young males, still growing into their power, full of a restless energy that mirrored ӨƬƬӨKΣΣ's own. Nłotak was the slightly more serious of the two, his gaze keen and observant. Taƙata was quicker to laugh, his movements fluid and playful. To ӨƬƬӨKΣΣ's surprise, they bonded quickly, drawn together by the shared understanding that came from being young males in a world of shifting alliances and constant challenges.
Then came the day the air turned sour. The smell of unfamiliar creatures, strong and unsettling, drifted on the wind. Shouting echoed from the east. Suddenly, figures emerged from the sparse bush, moving quickly towards the grazing herds. Hunters. And in their hands, they carried bows, tipped with wicked, glinting points, Hunting Arrows. Panic rippled through the pride. Makalo roared, rallying his lions. ӨƬƬӨKΣΣ didn't hesitate. He saw the fear in the eyes of the cubs, the danger to the lionesses, the threat to his newfound friends. He stood with the pride. The confrontation was chaotic and fierce. The lions, driven by instinct and the need to protect their own, charged. Arrows flew, wicked whispers slicing the air. One grazed Makalo's flank. Another struck the ground near a fleeing cub.
ӨƬƬӨKΣΣ fought alongside Nłotak and Taƙata. His strength and experience were invaluable. He barreled into the hunters, his roars deafening, driving them back. They worked as a unit, roaring, swiping, a wall of muscle and fury against the invaders. The hunters, unnerved by the united ferocity of the pride and especially the unexpected power of the strange male who fought like a storm, broke rank. They turned and fled, leaving behind a few dropped arrows and a trail of fear. The land was quiet again, but the tension lingered. Wounds were licked, the cubs gathered close.
The next day, with the pride recovering and the scent of danger fading, Nłotak and Taƙata came to ӨƬƬӨKΣΣ as he rested under a lone acacia tree. They carried something small in their mouths. They dropped them at his paws, two small, smooth bones, polished by time and nature, perhaps from the swift leg of a hare. They were pierced neatly, simple yet significant. Nłotak spoke first, his voice steady. "We have little to give a traveler like you. But these... these are from the Hare. Quick and elusive. Yet when the time came, you were neither elusive nor quick to flee. You were fast to fight." Nłotak continued, his voice softer now. "These bones felt the earth beneath the Hare's swift paws. They felt the sun and the moon. Now, they have witnessed your courage. Keep them."
ӨƬƬӨKΣΣ looked at the simple gift, so profound in its meaning. He picked up one of the bones, feeling its smooth texture. He looked at the two young lions, their gazes full of gratitude and genuine affection. He felt a warmth spread through him, deeper than the sun. "I will keep them," ӨƬƬӨKΣΣ rumbled, his voice rough with emotion. "And I will not forget the swiftness of your courage, or the strength of your brotherhood"
A few days later, the time came for ӨƬƬӨKΣΣ to continue his journey. He said his farewells to Makalo, who offered him the freedom of his territory whenever he passed this way again. A hint of sadness in their eyes. "This world is big," Taƙata said, "but may it bring you back to us one day." ӨƬƬӨKΣΣ rubbed his head against theirs, a rare gesture for a lone male, but one that felt right. With a final look back at the pride that had shown him such unexpected kindness and brotherhood.

Pride #4 ID: (https://www.lioden.com/territory.php?id=460844) Warmth of Blazing Sun's Pride #460844
Decors added(if any): N/A
Story/lore: ӨƬƬӨKΣΣ eventually crossed into new territory, lions were everywhere, talking and playing amongst themselves. One lion in particular spotted him, a male with clear eyes and a well kept mane. The lion approached ӨƬƬӨKΣΣ.
"Greetings, You've reached Warmth of Blazing Sun's territory. I'm Fog that Covers Jagged Peak. You may call me Fog, how long will you be staying with us traveler?" Fog asked him. "3 days time, if you don't mind" ӨƬƬӨKΣΣ replied. The male infact didn't mind at all and took his new friend for a tour of the territory. They saw the High Rock Nursery Den where many lionesses were nursing cubs, for a "project" Fog had told him. Then they Ventured to the Sun Valley Den where cubs had a chance to find a new home, although another male named Spark explained that they had to shut down for the season as their main broodmother had just died and he'd follow soon after. What an odd pride! In the Creek Clearing ӨƬƬӨKΣΣ met the "actual" pride. The hunters, the queens, any lions that'd never leave the pride were housed here. As the sun sunk below the horizon, ӨƬƬӨKΣΣ followed Fog back to the Sun Valley Den where many of the pride sat gathered in a circle. In the middle sat a magnificent king, Warmth of Blazing Sun. Fog made his way through the pride until he sat Beside Warmth, and nodded for Giuseppe to join him. Together they celebrated the life of Scorching Sun who'd be missed dearly(lioness who died today 😭). The pride sang, danced, and feasted in her honour around a small fire, the smoke rising up towards the moon. The celebration lasted well into the night and ӨƬƬӨKΣΣ ended up sleeping against a huge boulder nearby with his tail intertwined with Fogs.
On the second day, he said farewell to Fog who had to get back onto his training to be king. ӨƬƬӨKΣΣ spent the day with Warmth patrolling and fighting off invaders.
