* Ｂ Ｌ Ｏ Ｏ Ｄ Ｃ Ｌ Ｏ Ｔ and Ashen Star's backstory*
- Once a very long time ago, a cub was born. He had eyes of amber and a pelt of silver that was tickled by gold. This lions mother cared for him deeply but something was wrong. Her cub was always angry, he had a thirst for blood. She would pick him up from the kittengarten and he would be covered in scrapes and bruises from fights he almost always initiated. One day shocked her to the core though, the cub had brutally attacked and killed another student. The mother never allowed him to go outside after that. She placed a boulder in front of the den so her disturbing son could not escape. A few years later, when his mother came inside the den after a long hunt, he decided he had enough. He grabbed his mother, throwing her against the boulder she had placed. She hit the rock with a sickening thud as her body fell limply to the ground. The cub, now adolescent, walked out of the den into the moonlight where he let out a triumphant roar before trotting away silently. This cub was Ashen Star.
- Ashen star had presumed his mother to be dead, but that was not the case. She was badly injured but managed to make it out of the den where she was found by her mate and quickly rushed to the healer. It took years but she finally was able to live a normal life, although she still walked with a limp. It was the anniversary of Ashen Stars attack that the lioness found out she was pregnant. Months later she gave birth, three cubs, all the color of blood. Yet out of three cubs only one was alive. That cub was Ｂ Ｌ Ｏ Ｏ Ｄ Ｃ Ｌ Ｏ Ｔ. After the delivery of her cub, the mother suddenly felt something was wrong, she walked out of the den and saw the pride gathered around something, or someone. She walked up to the gathering and almost collapsed, there in the middle of the circle lay the king. Her mate, and the father of her cub. She noticed the pride was all backing up, as if there was something there that scared them, frightened snarls were coming from the crowd. The lioness looked up from the corpse and choked on her breath. Ashen Star, her deranged son. He had come back to kill them, starting with the king. Suddenly, chaos broke loose, lionesses grabbed their cubs and ran, adolescents cowered in the shadows, hoping not to be seen by the demon. But Ashen Star did not advance, instead he walked over to the corpse and started to skin him. The remaining lions watched in horror as Ashen Star placed the pelt of the king over his body and walked calmy away, chuckling to himself about the horror on their muzzles. The lioness ran back to the den where her cub lay, sleeping. She grabbed him and started to run. She ran for days until she came to a river. She crossed it and found a small cave where she set her son down and fed him, telling him stories to keep him asleep. When he got older the lioness told him stories about his demonic brother. The son vowed to find his brother and make peace, or finish him off once and for all.
