Countless years have passed since the name Pharaoh was known or even mentioned on the tongues of both predator and prey across the Savannah. Pharaoh, the one who brought the downfall of a great and noble pride whose last successor was Samurai, a male lion with a strange mottled black coat not seen anywhere else before or since. From Palladin, the first king, to Samurai they ruled over the grasslands for decades.

Now the winds of time have brushed over their legacy and heritage, and there is no one left to speak or even know their names. At least, not here.

Today there was an unnatural wind blowing. It was more than just the unfamiliar cold it brought to these wide stretches of dry grasslands foreign to the concept underneath a blazing sun. It was the scent. The scent carried something with it, something untold. In a secluded corner of the Savannah, a particular pride no strangers to dark times felt it and even they with their hardened souls felt their fur prickle and raise along their spine. A most uncomfortable feeling.

From the dens of a recently much smaller pride a few lions lifted their heads. Some seemed to sense something amiss, others didn't know what to make of it. Some of the older members had begun to stand up and wander hesitantly toward the edges of their home. Peering over the dry grass.

Nothing out of the ordinary, in fact it was quite still in the few hours before the sun set as most animals were trying to avoid the wrath of the white hot sun sending trails of blood coloured streaks across the sky. But that time would be up soon, and night would fall, and with it new life would seemingly spring up out of the ground to revel in the cool night air. Among those types of animals, they would be included no doubt. They practically owned it.

Well if it wasn't so close then none of them could say they wished to venture so far out. A few had padded to the very edge but they weren't keen on going further.

A broodmother had ushered all the youngest cubs back into the dens and to safety. When a few got back from hunting the largest one began a slow patrol around the pride. Checking on every den to account for everyone...

All accounted for, that is, all save one.

She had been gone for months.

The large lioness scowled at the empty den and turned sharply to find a resting spot. Ignoring the worried gazes from the younger members of the pride.
A adolescence staring woefully out into the distance. Hoping there was a chance in a million their friend was safe...

Smear, the young cub in question, hadn't been seen in months. Whether that was only a couple or several, everyone seemed to accept she was, without a doubt, dead.

There was no place for a lone cub wandering the wilds.

Still, Thritt wished to hope. She had been friends with the cub for their brief time here. As she had been for most of her siblings and half siblings.
With hesitant paws she slipped out the back of her den. Heading out silently through the wilds and grass to try and get a glimpse of what might be out there. Nearly an adult. Someday she could soon leave this place..

Maybe then, finally, when she came of age she would know true freedom, set her paws on blazing a new trail. Where she would go she did not know, maybe the same place for better or for worse , that Smear ended up. But a prideless lion was a lonely, downright unnatural fate for their kind so for now the young princess took to the territory she knew..

She wandered aimlessly for a long time. Settling down on some cooler rocks near the outskirts of some tree's shade. Stretching out and yawning. Watching the wildlife scurry beneath the grass...

It was nice. Quiet. When the noise of the world wasn't around her it almost felt, or she could at least pretend for a while, that it didn't exist. For the moment all there was for company was a resting hoopoe taking refuge among the branches above Thritts head.

The clouds farthest away looked dark, promising another rainfall this wet season. Like they needed any more-

Then something quite out of the ordinary moved.

She lifted her head to the movement. Eyes locking on it like a frightened bird.

Before Thritt could even so much guess to what it was something flew at her...from behind! She was pinned between the shoulders face pressed close to the ground much more than was comfortable since it exposed the very vulnerable back of the neck.

" Got her.." said the deep but still unmistakably female voice above her

"AH-!" She gasped. Struggling under them weakly and thrashing. Her body was malnourished and it felt like less than half the size a lioness her age should be. "Please- mercy-"

Less than half, especially, since judging by the weight pressing down on her lungs that the one holding her was abnormally large.

From her position she could only see what was in front of her if she craned her neck a little, the motion hurt putting strain on the muscles but it was the little she could do. The dark shape she had been watching initially that had turned out to only be a distraction was approaching the rocks, just a blur in the corner of her vision.

" Goodness, Fryst you savage let her up!"

The pressure relieved itself
