Hello, this is my entry for a SoA lion heart (I can't post the art because that would by stealing but here is the Contest Link)

This is a roleplay contest for a rogue lion cub, with no pridal or family attachments. He does, however, have a history...and a dark one, at that. If you're interested, please read on for more information. n.n

History:
This is Erzebet, the mommy dearest. To her, other creatures are little more than playthings for her delight; sometimes she'll play at getting along, at least for awhile, and other times she'll be outright hostile. More than anything, she delights in the pain and fear of others. It doesn't matter who or what they are - family, prey animals, fellow predators. If she can bring it down, it's fair game, and whatever it is, she usually eats it when she's done. That is exactly what she did to the unsuspecting rogue who fathered her cubs.

Erze hadn't planned on getting pregnant, but decided to go along with it, like just another game. The game continued for awhile after the birth of her three cubs - two boys and a girl. She wasn't a particularly attentive mother, and didn't even bother to give them names, but she did do everything essential to keeping them alive. Still, she wasn't nice, either...she often poked and prodded at them to see how they might react, batted them around a little. If they bled as a result, which they usually did on a daily basis, she simply licked it away. It was the closest to a grooming they ever got.

By the time they were weaned, Erze was growing bored with them, and so came the inevitable: she killed them - two of them, anyway. One managed to crawl away, and with two dying cubs to occupy her, she hardly even noticed, and certainly didn't care.

Cub's Name: Bejune (meaning is Sorrow)

Personality: Bejune is a clever and shy cub but he has a dark twisted side thanks to his mother. He tried his hardest to not draw attention to himself. When his dark side comes to the surface he is no longer shy: Clever, Quick of Wit and Twisted Nature, his evil dark side makes him a lion not to be messed with, for it can lead to your death. At his current state, he will be a rogue all his life. Also to bring heart ache and confusion to Bejune he doesn't remember his time when he is under his dark side.
Plans: Bejune will start his new life confuse with just trying to survive. Of course he will get by and will have some search for the company of others but his dark side will make that very difficult. Right now I am unsure of how long he will be alone and if he will remain a rogue. * Bejune will be my 1st SoA if I win so I will be learning with him, but would love to have him! biggrin

From the cub's point of view, write about the night his mother turned on him and his siblings:
There was something in the air tonight, something other then the storm that was brewing. It was a kind of maddness, so Bejune was on edge. He was in the bush near the clearing where his mother left his silblings and him while she left for the hunt. He was hiding in there to lick his wound after the previous night of abuse his mom gave him. His problem was that he could not remember that night! For the past couple of nights he could not remember. He would just wake up with more wound on his matted white fur that now looked gray from the lack of care his mother provided. His brother and sister were no help because all they just wanted to forget, forget everything their mon's cruel nature brought upon them. She had been getting meaner by the night and each of them had the scars to prove it. He was wondering if they wouldn't be better on their own. They could do it even though he maybe shy, his sister had courage and his brother was brave. They could survive by themselves! There was the distance sound of thunder so the storm was not far away. Bejune looked to the sky and saw the storm was coming, he better hurry. If he could convince his brother and sister to leave they could find some shelter before the storm hit. Going to his brother and sister with his plan, he stopped at the edge of the bush when he heard his mom come back with their meal. Bejune decided to wait until she walked away bored with them to talk to his silblings. Then it happened, she turned on his sister with claws and teeth. She was going in for the kill! His brother steped in the way ready fo a fight but he was no match for the powerful lioness. Bejune was frozen in place at first but as he heard is sister's scream and His brother's last cry he started to run out of the bush to help his siblings. That is the last thing he remembers!

With a crash of thunder Bejune's dark side took over. Stopping upon the edge of the bush he watched as his mother, in a bloodlust rage, killed his sister. Bejune licked his lips at the slight of the blood and fresh meat. Knowing that joining his mother in her feast and pleasure would lead to his own death, he turned and walked away. Weakling and Fool was all he thought of his lost siblings as he sneaked off into the night. As the rain pour downed upon him he thought about his revenge against his mother. Not for his dead brother and sister but for the inconievce and scars she gave him. Tired of the rain pouring down upon him he found a cave to spend the night. To his delight a small mongoose was already in the cave for shelter. Sneaking up on the poor creature he pounced on it before it could escape. Bejune slowly and painfully killed his prey with no mercy in his eyes or heart. After the mongoose died he ate it to fill some of his empty stomach then fell asleep.

Bejune woke up in the middle of the night shaking. His fur was wet and had become white again but his mouth and paws where covered in blood from the carcass laying beside him. Where was he?!! What had happen?!! Then he remembered the last sight he saw. He remembered his brother's last cry before death took him away and his sister's scream at the losts of one of her brothers. He knew they were gone, his mother never let her prey live. Tears fell from his eyes, why did he survive! Why was he left alone! Then some reason, some feeling entered him and he knew he was not totally alone. Warmth from his sister and brother's spirit would keep him warm this night. He would get by, somehow.

I didn't win sad but I will continue my search for SoA! wink What do you did of my story?
