-> Since I couldn't find a way to immortalize Micail, the king, I recreated him through a Groupie. For all intents and purposes, here is Micail, the dragon lion patriarch of this pride, always watching over and taking care of everyone.
-> His lineage https://www.lioden.com/sirecubs.php?id=794223625803
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It could be said that Micial had a privileged childhood, at least when compared to that of a common lion. Draconic lions are a little different in their dynamics within a pride. Many leaders are more tolerant of the presence of young males, and it is not uncommon to see a female leading as well. In the case of Micail's pride of origin, the king - his father - has ruled for many generations, being considered old even among his own. He saw many of his sons grow up and leave, and he always showed love and respect to all of them.
Micail was one of these sons that he saw leave to see the world, younger than usually happened, as his son decided to leave in his late teens, before he could even be considered a young adult. Obviously, being young and inexperienced, he had a hard time. Sometimes he was chased by adult males just for passing by the edge of their territories, other times he had to fight with nomadic lions and other carnivores to get food. All of this served to give him experience and maturity, because by getting to know new realities... He was more certain of the type of leader he wanted to be when he had his own pride.
In the last months of his nomadic life, before finally finding the place that would be his home, he met two young lionesses who were also living a solitary life. "Better to live on your own than at the mercy of a cruel leader" was what he heard from one of them, when the lionesses told him their story. They spent almost an entire day talking and sharing stories and experiences, and in the end they both decided to join Micail. Not long after, they arrived at a place that amazed the three of them. The rays of sunlight hit the yellow grass, and everything seemed like a golden sea. The most convenient of all: There were no odors that indicated the presence of other lions. There were other carnivores, of course, but Micail did not worry about that. There, in what they called "Golden Horizon", they built their home. The lionesses (Bombom and Nell) helped him build the dens in those first days, and look! Another lioness joined them! None other than a childhood friend of Micail, who had also decided to leave his old home. Caládia was also a member of the dragonic lions, and it didn't take long for her to adjust to the dynamics of that small group.
Over time, Micail's pride grew, and he opened the doors to other wandering lions. Alongside his three most loyal friends, his queens, he built a kingdom based on respect. Protecting his pride at all costs, he made it clear that his gentle side doesn't stop him from doing anything, and he teaches all the lions under his leadership that there is a big difference between respect and fear, and anyone who understands this is welcome in his company.
-------
Micail will live a long time, he always knew that, but losing his three greatest companions, who started this pack with him, was a huge blow. So, he decided to take a small step back. Micail will continue to be a 'king', a perpetual protector of that kingdom, and an invaluable advisor, but he has decided to let others take over that role as well. Of course, he will never allow a cruel leader to take over the pack, and will intervene if necessary, but for now he is fine with being more of a guardian advisor to the younger leaders.
➡The little purple dragon is called Helium! He is a pygmy dragon, already in his adult size. They are rare and can be found all over the world. In Micail's old pride, it was customary for dragon lions to have a pygmy as a companion, so Helium, who has been the lion's companion since they were both cubs, accompanied Michael when he left the pride. He loves shiny things! So much so that he dug a small den inside Micail's chambers, where he keeps all his treasures.
