Lore:From the moment he opened his eyes he was alone. He didn’t know comfort, love, safety. Finn was always on the run from hungry hyenas and other big lions that enjoyed being bloodthirsty cub killers… He traveled closer and closer to the far West, he always found better chances of survival this way.
But one night Finn woke up and below him was a group of young leopards, he clung tighter onto the tall branch that he had rested on, his best bet of making it through the night was sleeping in the trees, but right now it seemed that it would be to just hope and pray that they leave him alone and continue on their way.
Hours went by and the group below were growing impatient they’d converse below but Finn couldn’t make out a single thing that they were saying, just as he was leaning his head closer to hear in one of the young leopards ran up the tree, jumped and had their claws ready and mouth open, Finn gasped and had nothing but pure fear in his eyes.
WHOOSH
A gust of wind hit Finn and he clung even tighter to the branch he was on, when he opened his eyes he was shocked, because right in front of him a large strong and muscular lion had the adol pinned against the tree, but this wasn’t just any normal lion. It was a ferus.
“Please don’t eat me. I wasn't gonna hurt the cub I-I..we was just messing with it R-right guys??...Guys?” The group was already gone with the wind and running far away with their tails tucked in fear. The young leopard gulped and looked the ferus into his eyes.
“If you EVER come near this cub again I will rip you to shreds and gut you til you beg for mercy!” The ferus roared and grabbed the adol by the neck and threw him across the open land and watched as the adol took off whimpering.
Finn still in shock didn’t move a muscle, he didn’t know what this lion would do or if he’d be next so he said in a quivering voice, “Th-th-thank y-you..I-I didn’t mean to cause trouble”
“You didn’t kid, are you alright?”
“Y-yes. I’m Finn”
“Well where is your mother? Or brood perhaps?” ,the ferus looked at Finn curiously after Finn looked away in shame the ferus knew the answer.
“Come i will take you somewhere safe”
Finn didn’t know whether or not to trust this lion but one thing that he knew for sure was that his life was saved and that he was somewhat dependable.
When they arrived at their destination Finn was in awe, there were many cubs running around and playing, many lionesses conversing and smiling, many dens and also it felt like a warm fuzzy feeling, something that Finn never felt before.
“It feels like..like”
“Home” ,the ferus looked down at Finn with a smile as he finished his sentence, Finn exchanged that grin happily. While they were on their way to the pride Finn learned that Draco was the given name of the ferus and also that he was a King, he also learned that Draco is seen as a very scary and bad lion that hates others but really he is a kind and caring King. He's also cared very deeply for cubs and hates outsiders mainly because of an accident that happened years ago. Finn didn’t know what it could’ve been, but one thing was for sure was that he was finally home and that Dracos was carrying a very heavy burden from his past and his crown.
