Description It was another peaceful day at the Tree of Life. Spring was in the air, and some of the inhabitants were busying themselves for the mating season. New lives are always a welcomed blessing to the kingdom, but on this particular day, not everyone was feeling so cheerful. Amela, Queen Rani’s outcast daughter, lay by the small pond, where animals often stopped to come and get a drink. She looked down at her own reflection in the water, and the abomination that stared back at her only made her look away in shame. Taking her claws out, she slashed her reflection away, stood up, and turned away from the pond. She then lifted her paw up to her cheek, wiping some of the purple blood that oozed from a recent fight between herself and a couple of adolescent Darwin’s foxes that didn’t take her warnings seriously. Amela had ended up lashing out and whacked the male across the face, tossing him aside like a piece of prey. The vixen didn’t appreciate that gesture and ended up sinking her fangs into Amela’s face. When Surak and King Kion came to the scene of all the commotion, it was the same thing all over again, and it usually happened every time. The younger animals would harass and bully Amela, all because she was different and not quite how your average lion is supposed to look. She would only take so much before she finally snapped and lashed out, causing Kion to show up, and then the blaming and harsh scolding would begin over and over again.

These days, Amela usually keeps to herself, but at least her siblings have accepted her for who she is and will take some time out of their days to keep her company while their parents aren't looking. She watched as her younger half sister, Shani, and adopted brother, Baraka, played fighting with one another in the grass until a butterfly caught their attention, and they went chasing after it. Raja then came running around the bend to keep a watchful eye on his younger siblings, while Sawa looked down the lake to see her sister with her back turned. The golden lioness then called her brother over as he called after his younger siblings not to wander off too far.

Amela began to wonder if she was better off living out her life away from this horrible place. Despite her siblings and Nirmala, as well as Maua, it was clear that nobody wanted her here and probably wouldn't even shed a tear if Amela ended up disappearing one day and never returning. She could go in search of her father, even though she didn't know who he was. She had a heading because she was part snow lion and had a few distinct features a snow lion has in their genetic makeup. It might not be much to go on, but maybe her life would be better among her father's pride than this dump of a "kingdom." Little did Amela realise that her Mark of the Night Pride was starting to change from its natural colour into a sickly green colour. This had only happened once before to an exiled member of the Pride, and it was seen as a symbol of a traitorous and evil heart. It quickly turned back to its natural colour as it approached,  with Raja following shortly behind his sister.

Sawa: "Hey, Amela!"

Amela turns to see her golden sister approach with a small smile, but the hybrid lioness didn't return the smile.

Raja: "I don't suppose we need to ask what is wrong, do we?"

Amela slowly shook her head, and Raja and Sawa looked at each other with troubled looks.

Amela: "I just need to ask the both of you. Why am I so different?"

Sawa: "But you're a lion in every way, as much as Raja, Shani, and even myself are."

Amela: "But that's just it, Sawa! I'm nothing like any of you. Heck, even Baraka is a hybrid, and you don't see your father or even Mom treating him like dirt! If only I knew who my father was. Then maybe I would be better off living in his homeland."

Amela's Night Pride Mark began to turn green once again, which Raja was the first to notice, and then Sawa looked on in shock soon after.

Amela: "Anyway, I should probably go to the farthest corner of the territory so your dad doesn't catch me mingling with the two of you. I'll see you both later."

Before Sawa could utter another word to her sister, she looked back at Raja, who was just as worried.

Sawa: "She deserves to know the truth!"

Raja: "I know, Sawa. But it's not either of our places to tell her. You heard, Mom! If we ended up spewing everything about how she came to be, it would destroy her in every way both you and I could possibly imagine."

Sawa: "Well, Mom had better think of a very fast solution because if neither she nor Dad speak up quickly, I will say something. Despite everything, she deserves to know what a monster her father truly is! It's right because I fear she could go down a dark path if she's not told very quickly!"

Raja: "I hear you, Sawa, and maybe she needs to know, but for now, let's hold off before we tell her ourselves."

Sawa: "Alright. But I'm not waiting forever."

The two siblings watched as their sister's figure got smaller and smaller, both of them concerned about what kind of potential dark future was looming over her head.
