Reverse & Rebirth

[Gizmo]

They say that there was a time that everything went straight to hell. It was when a brother killed a brother, and took his crown. They, being the old legends, say that the young prince that had been 'killed', came back and took his revenge on his uncle. Though everyone just believes that's a load of bullshit, and moves on with their lives. That's just a cub's story now days .

The continuation of the story tells of the returning king's daughter, and her forbidden love with the prince of the exiles. It tells of how their love conquered the hate between the two prides, and bound them together. It tells of how all was good, a wonderful place, where lions and prey lived in perfect harmony. Minus the whole, killing to eat thing that occurred.

Enough with the stories, everyone knows that it's just wishful thinking, something that keeps bellies empty, and hopes alive, just subtly above a flat-line. These days, the supposed 'super pride' of Pride Rock, no longer exists. Today, there are three prides, three family groups of lions. Only, not in the way most remember it. These three prides are against each other, warring over something that no one remembers any more. Hate, however, lives forever in the memories and stories of those that come next.

A long time ago, a meteor crashed to the world's surface, in the middle of the savannah. The lions who investigated the rock, were both fearful and brave of the thing. They say that the first lion to touch the rock, was Kavu. Kavu was the youngest of the three that went to investigate, and he was warned against such actions. The moment his paw touched the space rock, he collapsed on the ground, convulsing. The other two lions tried to help him, but the moment they touched him, they too fell under the same condition that their companion suffered from.

When they awoke, it became apparent that something was off. Mwezi, the oldest of the group, was the first to wake, and the first to notice it. Upon Kavu's face, under his right eye, a marking stared out at him. It was a bright, neon green color. As calmly as he could, he waited for Kavu and Mvua to wake. Upon Mvua's hip, a white mark could be seen, the same, oddly tribal looking mark. It took another hour for Mvua and Kavu to wake. When they did, he discovered a dark red mark of the same type on his own body, on his left shoulder.

It took only a few days for them to discover what else had happened. It was during a fight, that Kavu took a swipe at his aggressor, and though he missed, fire erupted in the shape of claw marks, burning his opponent. Shocked, he ran from the scene, to find Mvua and Mwezi. Mvua, with his white mark, could do strange things as well, though his included healing. Mwezi, with his dark red mark, controlled the earth, powerful and strong. The three agreed to keep this a secret, as long as they would live.


To a degree, it worked. Mwezi, Mvua, and Kavu, lived quite content, until Mwezi's first cub was born. Upon his forehead, was a single mark. Dark red in color, the child was marked like his sire. It was the same with Mvua's daughter, and Kavu's twin sons. Each was marked with their sire's colored brands. As the cubs grew, the secrets were given to the public, and suspicion and anger grew towards the three lions who started it.

At first, the three stood together, protecting each other from the accusations. Then, it started. A simple change, a whisper in the right ear, and the finger pointed in Kavu's direction, and the anger started. The fighting between the three lions, and in the end, Kavu took his family and left the great pride.

After he left, the unrest got worse. In the end, the pride split down the middle, siding on one or the other sides. It was a painful time, and one pride, broke and formed into three whole ones. As the generations passed, almost every lion cub was born with the mark, and abilities that were passed down.

Though the prides live easily within the borders, the tensions are rising, due to prolonged droughts, dangers, and the fact that food is coming up missing from each pride, with no sign as to who stole it. Accusations are going everywhere, and it's going to get worse as time goes on. Will you join the effort to survive, or go it alone?
