Maleti's Den

"There comes a day where the true one reveals themself"

--Abati's Rule--

You walk upon vast lands with a few trees scattered around. The golden colored grass waves in the breeze as you walk. A few birds fly overhead as you look around. Upon venturing you come across a fairly sized pride of lions, a male lion approaches you. "Hello! I am Abati, come and rest traveler, you must have walked far." You follow the lion to his pride...

Abati is a benevolent ruler who attempts to keep all within his lands content. He is not known for being the strongest, but by his never-ending kindness. During his rule he collected many golden items and gems, though sharing when he could. All of his pride members adored him, and when he couldn't fit any more lions, he made sure they were sent to the safety of the nature reserve. He does his best to keep things in order and most can agree he is doing a good job.

--Zufani's rule--

You walk into Abati's territory only to be greeted by a different lion. "My grandfather...? He's very ill right now... I'm the new king around here! If you'd like you can go say hi. Why don't you rest while you're here? You must've traveled far! Hm? Oh it's no bother! Take your time!" As you follow the lion, you cant help but feel the presence of a scared cub that isn't really there...

As his grandfather was becoming older and ill, he took the role as the prides king. Though not quite prepared he had his family to guide him through it. After becoming king he felt a strange presence, that of the cub Tihuti who had been lost long before he was born. Though unsettling the cub gave him some sort of confidence. He decided to make a few changes such as where dens were placed, how things looked, and overall making the place more comfortable for his pride and travelers alike. He even expanded the territory to a few mountains nearby. Though the pride was growing larger, and he was beginning to run short on resources. Perhaps he can change the fate of his pride.

--Maleti's rule--

As you trek through the familiar territory, a young adolescent male suddenly jumps in front of you. "Haha! I snuck up on you good!" You tilt your head, confused, asking where Zufani was. Suddenly the adolescents mood dropped, and he stood up properly. "My grandad? He... got all weird. He was whispering to himself and looking around frantically and stuff. He kind of just got up and left whispering things I didn't understand." You look at the younger lion concerned. "But hey, it's all good! I'm the new king here!" You inquire why an adolescent would be crowned king. "Well I was the righteous heir to the throne, not my fault my grandad up and left before I became older." You kind of feel bad for the young lion. Not only did he have to rule at a young age but he didn't even have the past kings assistance. He notices the expression on your face and laughs. "Hey, like I said it's all good! Come on! I'll show you the pride!" Before he walks off you quickly ask his name. "My name? Oh yeah! I'm Maleti! Now come on!" He chuckled as you agreed and followed him to his pride.

After his grandfather going insane and leaving the pride, Maleti had to start ruling at a young age. Despite this Maleti is highly energetic and friendly, almost never starting fights. He managed to become friendlier with surrounding territories to ensure the safety of his pride. However, he is very reckless and his pride worries for him. Will he be able to give a proper rule, such as his ancestors have?
